Is It All the Bullies Fault or the Parents?
The act of bullying has presented itself time and time again through news media, outreaches, and various other platforms. Through many stories that make national headline, many are quick to go after the attacker, which individuals have the right to do so, but what if it wast all the attackers fault? When it comes to bullying, what if parents played a deeper role than expected. In retrospect an attacker must have something that fuels their emotions to harm, and that may sometimes be developed within a domestic setting. Parents may play an important role when it comes to bullying because domestic issues may occur within a household, they may neglect their children, and they may simply be too lenient on their children's lifestyle.
When it comes to bullying, the act of harm over the internet through social media is a good example. Constantinos M. Kokkinos, a professor at Democritus University of Thrace located in Greece, explains that parenting roles play an important role in shaping children's behavior. Many who may participate in bullying may be dealing with domestic issues within his/her household. Many may face neglect and harm from a parent and develop a sense of loneliness and hurt within ones self, resulting in a turn to social media. Many who may face struggles will turn to social media as a way to release their built up frustration by lashing out at the ones they despise. Kokkinos explains that various parenting styles affect the way that children are molded into adulthood, and that is clear as shown in the current day.
According to the National Education Association, the act of discipline within a household is usually presented within a public setting in regard to children. A child who who is witness to verbal and physical abuse within a home, may carry that with them into adulthood, carrying out the same actions. Individuals who are rather surrounded in a positive environment may not fall into the scheme of attacking others. Although this is not the case 100% of the time, this is what has presented itself. Parents should monitor the way that they act around their children as it a domino like affect. If repetitive actions transpire, then a child will follow, and it is up to parents to see out the positive in their actions.
Parents who display a positive influence on their children have resulted in lower rates of bullying, as apposed to ones who may brush it off. Parents control how their children are shaped, and it is up to them to make sure that a positive individual is being placed into society. Although this is a part of life and circumstances may vary, bullying may have a root, and that may be parental behavior. If a parent were to look at themselves, would they be happy with the person they were if they knew it was already too late and their unsettle behavior had already taken its affect on their own young?

I agree with your points, parents do play a big role in kids becoming bullies. I have always believed that parents do notice when their child is becoming aggressive or showing bully like behaviors and they should address them as soon as they start showing those signs. Adding the sources that you did like the Greece professor strengths your point by adding credibility you your writing. I enjoyed reading your sources because they are all from trusted websites. A question that I have is whether parents should try and bring some type intrinsic or extrinsic motivation to stop the child from becoming a bully or if they should take them to a psychiatrists? https://www.stopbullying.gov/sites/default/files/2017-09/hrsa_guide_parents-and-caregivers_508v2.pdf Take a look at this link, it goes into detail of how a parents could take action to stop a bully, or stop their child from become a bully. Overall very well written post, and good sources.
