Let’s Prevent Bullying

This day in age, most of our children enjoy going to school. They are excited to see their friends and meet new ones. However there are some that don’t want to go to school, due to the fact that there is bullying in the schools. Too many children are bullied today in our schools and the school administrators and parents need to help prevent this from happening. There are many types of bullying. The first type is physical bullying. Some examples are: punching, poking, strangling, hair pulling, beating, biting and excessive tickling. The second type of bullying is verbal bullying. Some examples are: hurtful name calling, teasing and gossiping. The third type of bullying is emotional bullying. Examples of emotional bullying include rejecting, terrorizing, extorting, defaming, humiliating, blackmailing, and rating/ranking of personal characteristics such as race, disability, ethnicity, or perceived sexual orientation and peer pressure. Then there is the fourth type of bullying which is sexual bullying. Examples of sexual bullying include many of the actions listed above as well as exhibitionism, voyeurism, sexual propositioning, sexual harassment and abuse involving actual physical contact and sexual assault.
When bullying occurs who gets hurt by it? Bullying and harassment often interferes with learning. Bullying usually occurs away from the eyes of teachers or parents and or other responsible adults. Victims of bullying can suffer far more than actual physical harm; their grades may suffer because attention is drawn away from their learning. Fear may lead to absenteeism in school and also truancy or drop outs may occur. Some victims may not develop self-esteem, experience feelings of isolation and may become withdrawn and depressed. Some will take measures into their own hands. Some victims will turn to fighting back, carrying weapons or even suicide. Often victims are more likely to grow

    As many of us develop, we may be able to identify those moments when some experience altered our development, or enabled us to view our environment in a different light. These experiences may have been critical in our lives, and have possibly shaped the type of adults we are now, and how we may be in the future. Personally, the experience that molded me into the adult that I am today was a negative experience. It was an experience that was spawned out of jealousy, hatred, rage, and sadness. As I reflect upon this life changing moment, I can’t help but feel as though I am transported back in time as that fearful, timid child dealing with the sorrows of others, and coping with the pain they bestowed upon me.…

    Bullying is an emotinally draining issue prominent across the world today. Bullying is unacceptable, and there are many, if not several movements in an effort to end bullying once and for all. Throughout the course of this essay, I am going to discuss the issue of bullying, and formulate an argument towards the issue at hand. In this argument, I will show my support in the fight against bullying. A lot of things have changed throughout the course of time; however, it is still prominent throughout the world today. Bullying is inhumane, and needs to end; what do you think? Do you think the fights against bullying are effective? Do you all think that everything is right in the world? Wrong! Despite all the fights against bullying; it still happens. Why? Well, that is what this essay is about.…

    The article I chose for the review is Addressing Abuse, Harassment and Bullying in Sports. Athletes must feel safe and comfortable in their training setting in order to gain the most benefit from the program. The role of the Strength and Conditioning coach is to make that for the athletes. All facilities should have a Policies and Procedures Manual in open sight. It must include emergency action plan for each sport or activity, guidelines regarding prevention and reporting of abuse. It should be clear of the codes of practice, education and training opportunities to everyone that wants to know. Coaches need to find way to have practice and keep students "space". One of the best ways to allow the athlete to remain comfortable at the training environment is to use auditory cues and there will be no physical contact with the athletes.…

    Student 1 Mikayla Student Mrs. Arnold Language Arts, Period 3 19 January 2011 Bullies Are Criminals Bullying is a constant problem in schools today. It starts with annoying comments, but escalates to more severe matters. We’ve seen it happen, and a lot of us know how it feels. None of us like it. People might say they are just ignorant kids, but bullies truly are criminals, stealing self-esteem and at times ending lives. First of all, bullying is a crime, because of the serious effects it can have on an individual. “And, once robbed of their self-esteem they can suffer from mental and physical problems, drop out of school and even commit suicide.” (Dimond 1) “Many adults still get teary recalling their humiliating days at the hands of the class bully, mainly because bullies don’t operate alone. They pick up sycophantic disciples along the way and that multiplies the victim’s pain.” (Dimond 2) The old saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me?” (Steiny 2) isn’t necessarily true; words hurt. Maybe not physically, but when kids already have insecurities, bullies don’t help. They build on those insecurities and insult the different qualities of kids. No one likes the way insults feel, and this is why bullies are criminals and deserve more severe consequences. Secondly, bullying can end in a tragic death. Though it does not happen often, it has happened. The usual event is suicide of the victim, or a violent act by the bully that may end in murder. For example, “15 year old Phoebe Prince hung herself after being harassed by classmates who threw cans at her before speeding off.” (Scholastic Scope 1) Phoebe had been…
