Theory has a place in quantitative , qualitative, and mixed methods research. A theory explains how and why the variables are related, acting as abridge between or among the variables.
Write a therectical perspective section for your research plan following the script for a quantitative theory discussion presented in chapter 3.

Bullying
Bullying has been a pressing issue for years, and I became interested in it because it needs to stop. Bullying destroys children’s and their families’ lives. Some children end their life because they are fed up with being picked on and tortured; this situation should never happen. My question would be what more can we do? It is all on social media, the news, websites, tv shows, awareness events yet the issue is still ongoing. One issue that needs to be addressed immediately that I see happen all the time would be the student report to the teacher and the teacher ignores them I understand they have a whole class to attend to, but students should feel like the classroom is a safe space. I cannot put all the heat off on the faculty and staff because bullying does not always take place at school. This guy once said that “your family is your first bully” I had to let that sink in because I never let that cross my mind. One thing that I like is higher authority starting to hold the parents accountable unfortunately it is when the situation has been taken too far but it is a start. After constructing my research question this will be mixed research. In my study I want to discuss the death rates, compare reported bullying from now and a decade ago which requires numeric information while also describing people’s experience with bullying.

Physical, verbal, and cyberbullying are the three different sorts of bullying. Bullying is unwanted, violent behavior in which a person (or group of individuals in a position of power attacks someone with repeated physical or emotional harm out of pure intimidation or coercion. Bullying behavior involves making threats, sharing false information, tormenting others verbally or physically, and deliberately separating someone from a group. The purpose of my research is to raise awareness and send a message that bullying is not acceptable. Promoting positive behaviors like acceptance, politeness, and engagement is just as necessary as putting an emphasis on bullying prevention since in some situations bullying can result in devastating outcomes like school shootings and suicide. Schools and communities can have bullying programs/events to raise awareness. Schools should also issue bullying surveys which can assist schools in finding out how often and where bullying occurs. Knowing more about bullying will allow you to spot kids who need support. Whether they are victims of bullying and the aggressor. Bullying frequently affects both the witnesses and the targets. By intervening you can avoid harmful effects for the short and long term. Bullying seems like a growing problem. Stopbullying.com suggest that every school should have programs and a plan to stop bullying. Research shows that those who experienced bullying are likely to go on and bully others. It was found that “school based anti-bullying programs were effective overall in reducing school bullying perpetration by 19% – 20% and school bullying victimization by 15% – 16%”. Bullying can lead to various problems such as: anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and low self-esteem. Additionally, it might be detrimental to academic success. When schools label a child as a bully, that child is removed from school as aggressive behaviors are linked to violence.

SOLUTION
The theoretical perspective of this research on bullying aims to explain the factors and variables that contribute to bullying behavior and its impact on individuals, schools, and communities. The Social Learning Theory (SLT) by Bandura (1977) provides a theoretical framework for understanding how people learn and acquire behaviors, including bullying. According to the SLT, individuals learn through observation, modeling, and reinforcement of behaviors. Thus, bullying behavior can be acquired by observing and imitating others, such as peers, siblings, parents, or media figures, who engage in aggressive or bullying behaviors.
