| contents | <p><span lang="EN-US">Students with uncommon names often become targets of bullying. This reality motivated me to examine the lived experiences of individuals who have faced such mistreatment due to their names. Employing a phenomenological research design, I collected qualitative data through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with ten purposively selected high school students. Using thematic analysis, I identified several key themes: name-based bullying leads to emotional distress, diminished self-esteem, and tendencies toward social withdrawal. Participants also reported feelings of shame within their families, perceived a lack of institutional support, and expressed a strong need for empathy and understanding from others. Based on these findings, I recommend conducting a follow-up quantitative study to examine the relationships among these emergent themes, treating them as measurable variables. Additionally, I propose the application of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) to aid in the development of a standardized questionnaire focused on bullying experiences.</span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p> |
