This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the peer leadership skills and the performance on the peer leadership skills of the students in reducing bullying cases. A survey questionnaire was used in gathering the data needed from the respondents in the public secondary schools in Narvacan, Philippines. The data were treated statistically using the weighted mean and one-way analysis of variance. It was found that the most common bullying cases the students encounter in school are verbal abuse specifically name-calling and persistent teasing and insult, physical abuse, and emotional abuse. This study also showed that the students possessed the necessary peer leadership skills in addressing bullying in school. However, their difficulty in expressing themselves and in training their peers to be leaders were noted as the least skill they possessed. Furthermore, the students were still developing their performance on peer leadership practices in reducing bullying cases in school. Although the result is very close to its significant level, it was found that there is no significant difference in the bullying cases between and among the students in the five public secondary schools. However, it was found that there is a significant difference between and among the students in the five secondary schools along with peer leadership practices and skills. The findings of the study serve as a basis for the school administrators to continuously explore alternative solutions or strengthen further the existing policies on bullying problems in school.","PeriodicalId":230980,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mental Health Issues and Behavior","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123463410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main theme is a try to stop this inhuman act by helping the needed people by approaching the related authorities. This report is an effort to stop this sinful act by explaining the bad effects because this act can never eliminate the problems but on the other hand give rise to them. This whole effort can only bring about change, if everyone really wants to help others and contribute to get rid of this evil and unlawful act. This study discovers that suicide is an indication of the problems in the lives of many people such as financial, social or medical. The most common underlying disorder is depression, 30% to 70% of suicide victims suffer from major depression, no matter which strata of society they belong to. A suicide attempt is often a cry for help that ends in tragedy. The research paper is an analytical study of adverse effect of criminalization of Attempt to Suicide in Pakistan in Section 325 of PPC 1860. Criminalization of attempted suicide is one of the major reasons that have made people reluctant to get help for the psychological problem that causes such act. This study aims to provide significant reasons for decriminalizing attempted suicide in Pakistan. Quantitative and Qualitative research method was used to gather, analyse and abridge the data. This paper focuses on the problem of criminalization of attempted suicide and tends to provide a new framework in the replacement of existing one. It is pertinent to mention that committing suicide is an illness not a crime, so the one who attempts to commit suicide must be treated as a „patient‟ not as a „culprit‟. The existing law provides punishment for the person who attempted suicide but failed, this represents the harshness of the state as it prescribes „punishment‟ for the person suffering from mental disorder, instead of „treatment‟. The analysis includes problems of criminalizing attempted suicide and challenges of the applicability of relevant law as well as negative impacts of it. Moreover, this paper deliberates upon the introduction of new practice in law. According to this practice, state institutions will provide rehabilitation/treatment to those persons who attempted suicide but failed under the law. Suicidal behavior is one of the serious consequences of depression. Depression disrupts the daily life functioning including ability to think properly, planning, problem solving and decision- making. This happens because of excessively experiencing the negative emotions. Dialectical behavior therapy sessions were planned including skills training for emotional stability, obsessions and impulse control.
