It is estimated that up to three-quarters of young adolescents experience some types of bullying (such as rumors, public ridicule, etc.) and up to one third report more extreme experiences of coercion or inappropriate touching (Juvonen, NIshina,&Graham, 2000). It can be both direct (e.g. slapping, hitting, etc.) and indirect (spreading rumors, insult, social exclusion). Common bullying activities that adolescents involved are name calling, teasing, taunting, ridiculing, obscene gestures, prejudice, threatening, hitting, kicking, rejection, etc. Being a victim or perpetrator of bullying has adverse psychological correlates.

Abstract

People in the India who are more than sixty years of age are commonly referred to as senior citizens or seniors. These terms refer to people whose stage in life is generally called old age, though there is no precise way to identify the final stage of a normal life span. People are said to be senior citizens when they reach the age of sixty or sixty-five because those are the ages at which most people retire from the workforce. The current paper reviews issues and challenges faced by senior citizens in India.
