IMPACT OF STREET BULLYING, SOCIAL ADJUSTMENT PROBLEMS AND COPING STRATEGIES AMONG HOMELESS CHILDREN

Abstract

In its various forms and persistence in many young social contexts bullying can generally be defined as abuse of power and can also be described mostly as behavior problems, authority misuse as well as purposefulness (Hyemel & Sweearer, 2015). According to, Sweearer and Hyemel (2015), “bullying is a unique but complex form of interpersonal aggression, which takes many forms, serves different functions, and is manifested in different patterns of relationships”. Peer bullying rates vary about 10% to 33% within teens and young adults these days (Hyemel & Sweearer, 2015).

The victim's intimidation of peers is also a continuous experience with traditional ways of interpersonal and behavioral harassment (Hymel & Swearer, 2015). Comprehension of bullying is challenging because these encounters can differ by form of gender and abuse. There has been research finding, for instance, whether females report bullying more frequently (Kessel Schneeider, O'Donnell, et al, 2012). Research has suggested that young men generally have higher concentrations of bullying where physical assault is really the target (Carbone-Lopez, Esbensen & Brick, et al, 2010). Findings suggest whether homeless kids seem to be more vulnerable to bullying, considering the disadvantaged classes of young people (Berlan, Corliss, Field, et al, 2010; Friedmen et al., 2011).

There is the most rapidly growing number of homeless families with children (Powell, 2012). As per the United States S. Mayors' Conferences Study (2006) Over 40% of the abandoned are children's families. This correlates to the Czech Republic data for the above percentage of mothers with infants. In 2015 (Salvation Army, 2016), Salvation Army conducted a survey of service users in the shelters and it emerged that 38.5% of the total number was mother. Continue to focus your perspective in order to help with their positive advances in relation to the distressing number of children growing up outside their normal social setting (that would be to say, abandoned kids). Many international studies have demonstrated the association within the condition of homelessness and social adaptation abnormalities (Anoosihian, 2005).
