Bully
Bullying is a real problem in school. There are many things we can do to prevent bullying. Three things that schools can do to reduce bullying among students are to get uniforms, better the punishments, and showing better guidelines of what bullying is opposed to what people believe bullying is. The first way to reduce bullying is to get uniforms. I think if we would get uniforms there would be less to make fun of. There are some people who don't care about high end clothes like Hollister or Polo and like some other brands. We like to express our individuality, but we do this at the expense of our social status and where we land on the social ladder. If we were all forced to where the same clothing then no one would be able to say anything about the other person. We could stop focusing on clothes and put more effort into school. The second way to reduce bullying is to get better punishments. When kids get bullied the bullies usually just get off with a warning or sent home, unless in the case of a death. When the bullied don't kill themselves the bullies usually get off with a warning. When given a warning people don't take it seriously and more often than not nothing is done until it is too late. I think that the bully should be given a in school suspension. When people are given out of school suspensions they look at it as vacation time, at least thats how I did. I think if we gave out in school suspensions as the first punishment to bullying it would happen less. Thirdly and finally, I think we could show better guidelines as to what bullying is and what isnt. Kids think that every time somebody says something mean to them, they believe they are being bullied, and they're wrong. The definition of a bully is "a blustering, quarrelsome, overbearing person who habitually badgers and intimidates smaller or weaker people." A bully doesn't just say something to you once. The abuse is constant. We need to show students that somebody saying something to them

According to the website called Stop Cyberbullying, "Parents, school staff, and other adults in the community can help kids prevent bullying by talking about it, building a safe school environment, and creating a community-wide bullying prevention strategy" (Prevent, 2012).

    My final suggestion targets the victims more so than the bullies. A lot of schools only focus on dealing with bullies, but I think we should teach the victims and other students how to stand up for yourself. There won’t always be teachers around to help you, teachers normally say there always are, but most of the time they aren’t. If we could teach kids how to stand up for themselves the bullies will…

    Bullying has become an epidemic, and it needs to come to an end. If people will stand up for each other and protect each other, I believe bullying would cease to be effective. It preys on those who do not have the confidence to defend themselves. Often times, the bully hurts others as a way of protecting himself. He believes that if he attacks others, then they will not know he himself is hurting, or has been hurt in the past. It becomes a coping mechanism for him. The biggest thing to keep in mind is that bullying should not be responded to with more violence. They need to be shown love, but firm love. A love that says, “I love you enough to not let you continue down this path. Let me show you another way.” Then you are not only l protecting those that the bully hurts, but also you are protecting the bully himself in the long run.…

    In today's society it is hard for schools and adults to properly identify and deal with bullying. It is hard to ignore the fact that most bullying goes unnoticed or unreported in schools, a place where adults are constantly present. With the exposure bullying has gotten in recent years people would think that schools have sophisticated methods of dealing with bullying, however this is not the case in most schools. Throughout many schools it can be seen that not enough is done to resolve the bullying and harassment happening on a day to day bases. Many schools work very hard in hopes that one day bullying will end, but it is hard for schools to know what to classify as bullying or harassment, since most of it can start outside of school grounds…

    As the years have progressed, it has become inevitable to avoid bullying in school. Being bullied is not always physical, but can be emotional and psychological as well. Watching the film "Bully", I was taken aback by the extremity of the situation. I was not aware of how young the bullying starts. It is appalling and discomforting to know that it is just progressively getting worse. It is frightening to think that when I have children, that they will have to encounter this. I believe that Bully needs to be viewed by more people. It is an eye opener to how intense and severe the bullying scene has become.…
