Aggression Toward LGBT Students and the Role of Social Workers in Vietnam

Abstract

Aggressive behavior is defined as an expression of animosity manifested in some way. Responses to aggression are most manifested in the form of physical, verbal, and relational manifestations. The existence of violent behavior in school-aged children is common throughout childhood and adolescence, particularly among boys. Student disobedience and hostility have increased in Vietnam's secondary schools, with an upsurge in instances directed explicitly at lesbian, homosexual, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) students being the most prominent example. If they do not have support or assistance, many parents and teachers find it difficult to deal with their children's rage and violence during adolescence. Because of this, professional scientists, experts, and social workers are vital in offering aid to LGBT kids who other people's actions have victimized. According to the researchers, the findings of the study will be used to raise public awareness of anti-LGBT student antagonism as well as provide critical information for social workers and policymakers who engage with LGBT students in higher education.
