Abstract

This study aims to explore the prevalence and impact of verbal bullying among adolescents, as well as the role of bystanders in these situations. The methodology involved a survey of 93 respondents, with mental health assessment conducted using the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ) validated by the WHO, which is a reliable tool for measuring mental health in adolescent populations. The findings show that 39.8% of respondents experienced verbal bullying, primarily in the form of hurtful words (57.8%) and name-calling (42.2%), mostly perpetrated by peers (60.2%). Additionally, 44.6% of respondents reported the presence of bystanders during these incidents, with most (51.4%) attempting to help the victims, although a substantial proportion (43.2%) chose to remain silent, reflecting the complex dynamics in bullying situations. Verbal bullying has significant effects on individuals' mental health, as evidenced by 64.9% of respondents reporting mental health issues related to verbal bullying. Furthermore, interviews with 9 selected victims revealed a range of emotions based on bystander behavior, highlighting feelings of anger, sadness, and anxiety when bystanders supported the perpetrator or remained passive, while victims felt relief and gratitude when defended. Importantly, the perspective of bystanders was not examined in this study. While the research focused on the experiences of victims of verbal bullying and the emotional impacts they face, it did not delve into the motivations, feelings, or actions of bystanders. Understanding how bystanders perceive bullying situations and what influences their decisions could provide a more comprehensive view of the dynamics involved in bullying. Future studies could explore these aspects to gain insights into the bystander effect and its implications for both victims and witnesses.

The two ideas promoted here relating to build character in students are   storytelling and   bulletin board.  Those can be employed by teacher in establishing language class; in addition, inserting other pertinent subjects to the material is possible to do.  KEYWORDS:storytelling, bulletin board.

Abstract

AbstractThe Dante Club is an American historical fiction written by Matthew Pearl. Thestory takes place in the state of Massachusetts during the aftermath of theAmerican Civil War. The two major issues presented in the novel are xenophobia and anti-Catholicism. Specifically, it tells about a controversy over the Italian literary work, “Divine Comedy”, which is being translated into English by a group of notable poets named Dante Club. Their endeavor is considered as promoting Catholicism which is subjectively interpreted as an act of threatening the state. Based on Louis Althusser’s theoretical perspective, the work of the state authorities to hinder the group’s effort is seen as the manifestation of ideological practice. The theory points out that such an interference may commonly be found to be performed by two types of powerful institution, namely Ideological State Apparatuses (ISAs) and Repressive State Apparatuses (RSAs).This study discusses the practice of state ideology which is intended to maintain the state power as described in the novel. The focus is on answering the question of how ISAs and RSAs are authorized to exert their role to control people as well as to influence them on behalf of the state.Keywords: Ideology, Ideological State Apparatuses, Repressive State Apparatuses, Divine Comedy

In Wilde‟s The Picture of Dorian Gray, the main character, Dorian Gray fails to achieve his physical perfectness of eternal youth because he did it in naturally, he trades his soul to get it. In Stevenson‟s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll successes to achieve his insane experiment to release the good side and bad side of human in the form of different appearance. Then the writer comes to the conclusion that to attain his goal and desire. Firstly, he must be aware of the effect for the things he did. It means that an individual must be responsible for his own decision to do what he thinks is right. Secondly, one must sincerely accept the power of nature.

By having these two factors, an individual will be able to achieve his or her acceptance toward the power of nature and accept what God has given him or her and live good life.Keywords: Archetypes, Persona, and Shadow.
