Abstract

Numerous pupils have either been bullied or are being bullied in school, which is a problem on a global scale. The United Nations and academics in the fields of education and psychology are very concerned about this problem. Many studies have been conducted over many years, which have provided some convincing definitions, classifications, and features of school bullying, and these studies primarily focus on the analysis of influencing factors and countermeasures of school bullying. This paper will review the relevant studies, describe the fundamental situation and key features, and draw conclusions about the influencing factors and countermeasures of school bullying from the perspectives of the individual, the school, the family, and the society. Despite significant progress, there are still some flaws in the existing studies that cannot be overlooked and require correction, so the paper will also offer some recommendations for future research on school bullying.

Keywords
