Abstract
Bullying symptoms refer to aggressive acts or behaviors aimed at abusing/torturing the others
who are weaker than the bully, which can cause physical or psychological harm to the victim.
In addition, victims of bullying will feel depressed, terrified, apprehensive, and agitated the
whole time, with some suffering serious and permanent injuries, and even worse – death.
Hence, this study aims to discuss the definitions and concepts of bullying symptoms, the
effects on the victims, and the reasons of suppression by the victims. There are (9) reasons of
the suppression: (i) Shame and embarrassment, (ii) Fear of retaliation, (iii) Fears of making
things worse, (iv) Desire for acceptance, (v) Fear of not being believed, (vi) Concerned about
"snitching", (vii) Low self-esteem, (viii) Failure to recognize bullying, and (ix) Thinking that it
would not help. Therefore, the bullying symptoms need to be given a serious attention by all
parties including the victims themselves, to reduce the number of cases from time to time,
and to avoid the risk of fatal injuries.
