It should not be taken as a thing very seriously close to one's heart, but as a silly comment of the person. It actually does not bear any resemblance to the attitude of the person towards you.
Whilst you are in your friend circle, the only thing that matters is your genial nature and your endurance towards the bullies and perhaps that is what pays off and makes a reputation in the group. People usually bully those who remain among themselves i.
There is something which I have to share with you, I have a friend who was bullied in every aspect of life, but never disheartened he faced the difficulties and that was what actually accentuated his friendship with the others. This means that bullying enhances friendship, in a way. What I am saying may appear to be wrong to you as for now, since you easily are swayed by the way your friends make fun of you. But you will understand it better when you yourself implement this in your life or perhaps when you enquire about it more from the adults who have faced this era in their lives.
And in case, you still don't get it I'll further give you more guidelines to approach to the same. I think I have well explained myself and surely its an effort to create awareness among the deviated youth of today who easily get diverted by the smallest of the problems and proceed on to commit suicidal attempts or go in deep depressions.
I hope the voters will vote what's right. I will certainly not convince them to vote for me but for the correctness of the topic. The more the votes, the more the people get aware about the same. A sincere advice to my partner, never get disheartened by the bullies, always try to be patient and undeterred. Con Bullying is and never will be ok. People only bully because they have low self-esteem. Just because its "part" of life does not make it ok to do. A lot of people have died because they have been bullied, people even cut because of it.
I don't understand why people are afraid to stand up to bullies. Two 2 kids have already stood up to them why cn't anyone else? I'm standing up to them because bullying needs to stop. I honestly don't see why people laugh t others and make fun of them it's stupid. Report this Argument Pro Well, judging what is right is surely highly subjective.
It differs from person to person. I said what I thought should be. An d I think most people will believe in what I say. Yes I would admit that I don't come out right away and tell someone but eventually I do because I can't take it anymore. Last year was probably the worst year for me getting bullied I was at the point of suicidal thoughts but then I went and got help and now i'm glad that I didn't do but for some of those kids they just want to be out of this world.
It's sad to think and see about how many people try to commit suicide due to bullying. Nonetheless I feel we should act to stop bullying when we suspect someone is bullied. Most victims of bullying have no one to help them, because bullying is very entertaining to others. Bullies usually have a lot of friends, because of how humorous some people find their comments, which were used to destroy the egos of young innocent children who never deserved it.
Most bullies try to act like they are just joking, which most bullies do, but mostly they bully other people for the benefits of earning more friends. It is sad that victims are bullied with no one to help them, most bystanders do not know what to do, mostly because they question the seriousness of the situation, and if it is a joking matter. Most bullies become bullies, for the feeling of dominance and security from surrounding peers.
The site that I found this statement is Iowaaeaonline. These Catholic parents are worried about their children attending school with bullies being with them all the time. When a woman lawyer for the parents publicly scolded the trustees with legal facts, the trustees momentarily slumped down in their seats. Teachers I spoke to denied this charge and wondered what the Board members were smoking. With no statistics to support these false charges, the School Board quickly passed the anti-Catholic legislation.
Since they lost the first battle and to minimize the damage this Bill will cause, parents and other groups then tried to have amendments made to the Bill. Student Edition. I found another article on Iowaaeaonline.
Although the topic of bullying has been done to death, this well- researched book provides teachers with practical, interesting and original activities. An overview of bullying provides teachers with information about bullying trends, escalating issues and some effective strategies for creating an "anti-bullying program".
It provides strategies for teachers to try in dealing with bullying victims as well as bullies. Ken Rigby is a writer with recognized authority in research on bullying. He is he author of a previous publications:Bullying in Schools and What to Do about it.
Professional Resources. Cyberbullying that can lead to teen or children killing themselves. In CyberBullying ties school, student in legal knots. It says that in October 12 year old Rebecca sedwick of Lakeland, Fla. Two girls were arrested and faced criminal charges, but the charges were dropped.
A similar plea aired in Missouri in when Megan Meier hanged herself after a friend and her mother bullied her on myspace. I think this is horrible to bully people because when they kill themselves you feel so bad for bullying them and you think of what you could have done different. We should set a program for bullying. Lambert, Scott. General OneFile. The topic of bullying has been around for a long time, and some are wondering if there children are safe from this.
Well, since the schools rules, or laws, are not good enough does that answer your question. Here let me and research tell you why. I've been around The high school for about three years, and I've seen lots of stuff go down.
I know for a fact that we need tougher schools rules. The article also says there should be criminal penalties for cyber bullying, how you going to enforce that when there is always two sides of a story.
You got to take care of it in the schools first before you can enforce stuff like that. Toughen the school laws so people don't kill themselves. I rest my case on bullying. I agree with what you are saying Zach, I think their should be tougher rules to prevent bullying from happening.
The problem is you can never completely get rid of bullying, their will always be someone who gets picked on. What we should do is if we find a way to prevent bullying from happening in the first place, possibly by making prevention laws. I would say that our school definitely does have bullying taken place. I've seen it, heard it, and it's something that is hard to control. I enjoy going to hear the speakers that our school has because they have great stories that help me overcome things, and I'm sure they help the other students know that they aren't alone.
The problem that is occuring though, is that at the time the speaker is talking everybody is thinking, "yeah, yeah that's a good idea," or "thank God I'm not the only one with that problem. We used to have a Purple Hands program when I was a freshman. I remember Casey Ludwig stood up and talked to our freshman class about bullying. But overtime it's like the programs are just not enough. I researched ways we could create a better anti-bullying environment. According to stopbullying.
Many students are getting away with calling other students names that could be offensive or just plain rude. With that comes punishment. Our school could have stricter policies. By starting with those two we could have a better and safer environment for students, and the staff as well. It is helpful to some of the kids when the people come and talk but that only lasts for about a day then they forget everything.
According to kidshealth. If someone is bullying you and they get physical and start hitting and beating you you hit them right back that's what I believe in. I agree with you Hunter that you should not be the first one to hit, but why not try and stop the situation before it escalates that far.
Verbal abuse on the other hand remains the same. I do agree with you that if you do get hit you should not stand there and take it, but I don't see the point in sticking around to get called names and let the situation escalate the the point of violence.
I think not all actions against bullying should be dealt with by the schools. People often like to push this responsibility onto schools. It becomes the school's issue when the bullying is carried over and fallout from it affects the learning environment. Kids are bullying each other online, through text messages, and by way of using many apps.
Those issues make it harder for us to dole out consequences when they are happening in the evening and on weekends. That's not the school's domain, so we don't have jurisdiction. I've gotten myself in plenty of hot water trying to discipline a child for something they did while in the care of their parents. When it occurs and detrimentally affects the academic achievement of students and disrupts classroom instruction, then schools can get involved.
Everyone was raised and grown to be different people so in some terms, different people do not get along which causes problem. Some kids were also raised by irresponsible parents that sculped their kid to what they are now.
A fibnal counter argument could be that the rules and regulations against bullying are not reinforced.
