The role of sport in reducing bullying among young people in Babil Governorate

Abstract

The importance of the research lies in highlighting the important aspects in cases of bullying among young people, as experiments have shown that bullying is one of the forms of violence practiced by a teenager or a group of teenagers against one of them or disturbing him in a deliberate way. Bullying is considered one of the most dangerous phenomena that have become widespread in many global societies The research aims to identify the role of sport and its impact on reducing cases of bullying among young people. Organized school sports activities contribute to providing students with the ability to experience activity, understand it, and modify their behavior. School bullying is one of the most difficult challenges facing the security and stability of educational institutions, especially what occurs in schools. The student's behavior at any time or place is affected by various factors, as it is affected by the student's gender, his personal and social needs, his childhood experiences and his mental abilities, as well as the circumstances of the family to which he belongs and its social and cultural level. In light of the results of the study and its discussion, the researcher concludes the following:

1- The role of youth organizations is a complementary role with state institutions, which, if they work together, are able to eliminate cases of bullying at the community level.

2- There are obstacles that weaken the contribution of state institutions to fulfill their responsibility towards youth.

3- The lack of intellectual programs and initiatives directed at young people predicts their weak perceived awareness and develops cases of bullying.
