Starting an after school program for bullying victims as well as students who feel that bullying is ok to do. They can come and talk about the problems they are encountering in school, and outside of school. Also, it is very vital to include the parents, teachers and staff in the experiences of the program so they can come and talk with their children/students as well as other children going through the same thing. Having never been a victim of bullying, but living in a small community now as well as being from a small community prior there was a few kids who have committed suicide from being bullied. It’s hard for people in small communities as well as larger communities to understand what would push a kid to the point where they feel that taking their own lives is the right answer to the problem. Now those kids have no voice in this matter and are not able to share their story a program like this would be able to help kids understand the effects of bullying as well as the impact it has on family, friends and the community. Having read a few articles, one of which was A Mother’s Plea: Stop The Bullying by Shoya Bowman, this article talks about a mom whose daughter was being bullied at school and her mom was able to catch the small warning signs that her daughter was giving whether she knew it or not. In the article she states, “Sometimes, we as parents miss the signs that are right under our noses as we attempt to make a living and better our situations for our families” (Bowman, 2013). Being able to educate parents on what signs to look for, as well as, to educate kids on what signs to look for if their friends are being bullied or are bullying other kids so they can help them get through it or be there as a support system for one another. With this program the vision is to get the parents to know what signs to look for if their

    The essay shows the influences bullying has on kids by telling stories of tragic stories that have led to young kids committing suicide or even being murdered. “Death was the only relief he could imagine” William Head said after his son committed suicide because he was bullied. This should definitely raise bully-awareness. No kid should ever feel so poorly about themselves that they feel the only way out is taking their own life. Someone should step in the way if the bullying is going that far.…

    Bullying Effects

    I am sure that we can all, regretfully, think of an incident where you or someone you know have been bullied. Whether it was being called a derogatory name, being singled out because of your race, or even somebody saying something inappropriate about you on facebook. All of these examples are far too familiar in today’s society. So familiar, in fact, that statistics show that one out of every four teens face problems with bullying on a daily basis, whether it is mentally, verbally or physically (Fox,3). Bullying has not only ruined the lives of victims, but also ruined the lives of the bullies themselves. Many people do not understand the negative effects bullying has on oneself and/or their family until they are actually involved in a bullying situation. Bullying is a fact of modern society, however, knowing the psychological and even physical effects that bullying can cause, preventative measures should be taken by parents, teachers and school administrators to abolish bullying for good.…

    Imagine that you are a thirteen year crying in your bed because you are dreading facing another day at school because you are being bullied. Nowadays, this is more common than ever before. For far too many teens this is a daily reality. According to the ASPCC (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) there are over 160,000 students in America who stay home from school every day because they are fearful of the mental and physical abuse from their classmates (1). The ASPCC defines bullying as a direct attack on a child’s status, sense of belonging and core identity and more times than not leads to low self-esteem (2). 1 out of 4 children are bullied every day (3). Bullying in any shape, form or fashion must be stopped so that our children can have a fighting chance.…

    “Historically, school bullying has not received a great deal of attention from academic researchers; policy makers or the general public [until the amount] of suicides became media attention” (Neiman, S., 2012). Bullying does not discriminate to whom or where it happens. Bullying has occurred for many decades at school, on the playground, jobs; any place a person has experienced an unpleasant encounter with another individual. This is a serious concern around the world. According to Henry (2000), “Any instance of crime or violence in the schools not only affects…

    Jessica Bennett disagrees on taking action to stop bullying and directly associates self-hate as the main reason of suicides in children and teens. In Bennett’s article, “Teenage Bullying Should Not Be Treated as a Crime,” she argues “Its one thing to hold bullies responsible for their own actions, but it 's trickier to blame them for the chain of events that may follow .” In John Cloud’s article, “Bullied to Death,” he takes a look at four cases that resulted in suicides in only four weeks. Cloud states that bullying is more prominent in schools. The four cases of suicide that occurred resulted in questioning what could have been done to “protect” those four victims (Cloud). The answered to that question gives bullying the attention it requires. President Obama responded by designating an increase in funds of 12% to bullying programs throughout schools (Cloud). For example, if a zero tolerance policy, combined with educational hands-on workshops for students become part of the school’s culture, at least children now “know” what happens . Cloud calls attention to victims; these are the ones that would have benefited from “stronger bullying policies” and “stronger legislation” (“Bullied to Death?”). Bennett’s correctness in stating bullies can’t be held responsible for the “chain of actions that follow” because now the community as a whole might intervene before a child takes their life (“Teenage Bullying Should Not Be Treated as a…
