In his article (Besag, 2016), noted school bullying has become a common thread linking a school’s most troubling issues such as academic failure, suicide, increased absenteeism and substance abuse. Payne and Denise (2014), defines school bullying as a form of vehemence and victimization that troubles others which happens within the school environment. In 2017, 35. 6% of children aged 9-16 reported having been bullied at school at least once in the past couple of months (Li, Yiqiong et al. Many factors have contributed to school bullying. Purpose School bullying significantly impacts students’ mental health and academic achievement (Fossati, Borroni & Maffei, 2012). It is, therefore the responsibility of all school stakeholders to make learning institutions a welcoming environment for learning (Coyne & Campbell, 2017). The school administration and legislatures must formulate laws and policies that eradicate bullying in the learning institution (Gerlinger & Wo, 2014).

Teachers have to enforce these laws, while the students have to adhere to them. My study aims to critically examine various types of bullying, causes and the underlying mental impacts of bullying and suggest the most appropriate preventive measure American schools can adapt to minimize mushrooming cases of harassment among teenagers. There is a need to develop methods to address and respond to this salient problem. The educational stakeholders have to enact laws and strategies that address and minimize bullying violence in learning institutions. In his study (Canady, 2017), stated that if students allowed to attend institutions where bullying is not accepted then there will be fewer cases of abuses at a given time. Also, the students have to be taught social skills how to cope with their feeling, respect other and have empathy, effectively learn how to solve their problem without violence and have respect for others (Ismaili, 2014).
