    Everyone is bullied at some point, but the bullying August went through was cruel. It began with calling him names, such as “monster”, “rat boy”, “freak”(p.139), and so on. It advanced to Julian leaving notes in August and his friend’s, Jack Will, lockers. At the end of the year, Mr. Tushman, the middle school director, had told him he “wished he and Jack would have came to him about the notes”(p.473). Even though teachers are supposed to be mature, it doesn’t mean they always act that way. They didn’t mean to be rude, and August knew that, but it bothered him even when they would stare or hesitate for “a millionth of a second”(p.75). Bullying like this, especially for kid as young as August, can…

    Bullying exists in many forms which affect people physically, emotionally, and psychologically. Bullying is when a person or group of people use intimidation, insults or violence to make another individual feel scared or inferior. The views and beliefs about bullying have changed. Years ago it used to be considered as not a danger to the victim and that it would help children learn how to “toughen up.” Now bullying is considered a health issue as well as a threat. Bullying is no longer considered just a school age problem. It can continue or start for people at high school age, college age or even as an adult. More recently the awareness of bullying has brought the…

    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.…

    The most visual form of bullying is physical. Physical bullying is physical abuse, and is easily recognized by bruising, bleeding, or even broken bones. This can be the bruise left behind from a parent hitting a child, or grabbing the child too hard, such as when “Bobby Martin ducked under his mother’s grasping hand and ran,”(2). It can be the throwing of something with the intention to cause harm such as “the great pile of stones in one corner of the square”(2) that the boys had collected to stone Mrs. Hutchinson, as she was unfortunate to “win” the lottery. She pleaded “it isn’t fair”(14) as “the villagers moved in on her”(14). As in most forms of physical bullying, the aggressor pays no attention to the victim’s pleas. In some cases, the victim’s pleading angers the bully and can cause him to do more harm.…

    On the afternoon of April 9, 2010 I found myself in a meeting with Kerri Evans, the assistant principal of Pleasant Ridge Middle School, and my son Nicholas. I was there because my son had become a victim of verbal abuse. It was shocking to learn that bullying has become such an epidemic in our school system. “Nearly 1 in 3 students is involved in bullying” (Hertzog, 2010). In a perfect world there would be no bullying. Kids wouldn’t get shoved into lockers, and they wouldn’t be beat up in the hallway. Students wouldn’t talk about another student behind their back because of their shape, size, race, or religion. In a perfect world this wouldn’t happen, but at that moment in our imperfect world it was happening to my son. The question is, why does it happen and what can we do to stop it? “According to a 2009 federal survey of school crime and safety, 32 percent of middle and high school students said they'd been victimized during the academic year, compared with 14 percent in 2001” (Tyre, 2010). Bullying was making its way into my home and affecting my life. It was then that I realized that bullying was a problem that needed to stop. Bullying in schools is escalating and becoming a bigger and bigger issue, and we must take action to eliminate it.…

    A topic of great concern among American society, and parents in particular, is that of youth violence. The media often makes the situation appear as though youth violence is on the increase in the United States. However, scientific research shows that youth violence is not truly increasing, but that certain environmental factors make the statistics read as though the violence is increasing. Statistics can be influenced by a number of factors besides actual increases in violence, such as the introduction of ‘zero tolerance’ policies in schools or the reduction of police discretion on police forces. These environmental factors lead to more incidents of youth violence being detected…

    “From Lockers to Lockup,” by Jessica Bennett is an article that will touch the hearts of many. It tells a heart wrenching story of the effects of bullying. It all started in South Hadley, Massachusetts, where freshman Phoebe Prince got caught up in senior drama. She was said to be talking to two senior football players who both had girlfriends. This caused a stir and thus major bullying began. Terms such as “Irish slut” and “Whore” were used more than often with Phoebe and it took a downward spiral on her self-esteem. She received threat after threat and was teased constantly at school, home or even the internet. Then one day as she was walking home from school, something happened which pushed her over the limit. While on the sidewalk, a car full of people crept up alongside of her, throws a pop can at her as they all scream “whore!” After this incident she began to cry and later that day hung…
