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…
Mr. Hittson I totally apologize for Coltens actions. He is definately being raised better than that. I have had a long talk with him over this issue. I noticed this morning Colten seemed upset about something when he got dropped off. When he got into the school I texted him and told him to not let anything deter him in school if he is upset. He has been having girlfriend issues that I have been trying to guide him through and I think that is what has been wrong with him. He's usually not like this. He is being raised in a very good home with good guidance. I told him I will not tolerate him using profanity and disrespecting the teachers or the school. I also told him that in the future if he acts the same with future bosses, then he will be…
As teachers, we must understand how the adolescent brain functions and interpret it as the student trying to rationalize the situation at hand; or another situation that may have occurred at a different time. A teenager could lash out due to a misplacement of anger or other emotions…
As a Teaching Assistant it is very important for me to be able to deal with a disagreement with a child. Firstly I think it is important to listen carefully and positively to the child to try to understand what it is that is making the child so angry with you and to give them the time to calm themselves down. This may only take a couple of minutes or it could carry on. As a…
When you working in a senior school we can behave appropriately by talking to them on their level and not talking down to them. We should also let them know what sort of behaviour is expected of them while they are in our class and make them aware of the consequences of misbehaving if they are upset or hurt we should sit down and talk to them being sympathetic about what has happened.…
I am always respectful to the children and all the adults in my setting this will show the children that they need to do the same. To be respectful I need to speak appropriately to the teachers by never calling them by their first names in front of the children, accepting criticism that’s given to make and using this as a learning situation also using manners is respectful if I show the children that I use manners it will encourage them to use them.…
It made me so mad that I just went up to her and slapped her across the face. I guess she did not understand that I was only trying to make her pick up my book and continue walking but she built up all this rage and anger that she just tackles me and starts pulling my hair!! I am laying on the ground fighting with all my might but she was so mad that she starts tugging on my clothes. I soon give up and let her pull my hair and tug on my clothes but I keep screaming at her and calling her names. But soon after that she slows down the tugging and pulling and starts trying to make me apologize.I felt like I did not need to apologize for the things she did to me but no she was trying ot make me apologize for making her get off the sidewalk and for making her carry my book and for making her find her place in the world. I thought I was just trying to help her so when she gets older she does not have to go through trouble to get what she wants. So of course I was not going to apologize to some little black girl who just beat me up. So I refuse. She said, “ Do you want to be bald when you go home girl?” So I mumble, “ I’m sorry Cassie.” She just stands there accepting my apologize probably thinking how cool she was but little did she…
1.3.Many things can set off arguments between children and young people which often leaves children angry or upset, in my position I would stay calm and ask the children to explain what happened, listen to both sides of the story and show that I am not talking sides. I would explain the difference in right and wrong and try to make them understand what has been done wrong and explain that if they were in the same position, how they would feel and it wouldn’t be nice and make them apologise. Whereas with young people, like my age group (10-11years old) they begin to have their own views and they clash more when they begin to…

When you are a twelve years old surrounded by thirteen and fourteen year olds in a competitive atmosphere, it is a daily struggle to rise above the challenge of being put down because of your age. When defined, by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary age is the period contemporary with a person's lifetime or with his or her active life. Most of the time children are deprecated by adults because of their short time of experiencing life. Students without knowing it do the exact same thing their peers. I, have experienced many put downs, because I am relatively younger than the rest of my peers.…

“I knew that,” he would remark every time I answer a question wrong. “You need more friends,” he mocks as if I had none, and I would believe him. “Don’t listen to him,” my mom would likely say if I ever mentioned the harassment to her. Which I would never do. But why shouldn’t I believe him? I know I’ll never be as smart as the smartest kid in school. I’ll never have close to as many friends as the most popular kid. I’m stupid and nobody likes me.…
When you’re bullied all these emotions over whelms your body. In the process of getting picked on you think to yourself what you should do and why is this happening. If you speak up and say harsh words or get even with the bully, what makes you any better? On the other hand you feel like if you walk away things will keep going as it is, so you should do something. No matter what you think is best to do at the time the only right answer is to tell them how you feel about how they treat you. Explain to the person how you feel and you do not appreciate the way they are treating you. Then go to your parents or a teacher you trust and have them help you.…
Sibling abuse is the physical, emotional or sexual abuse of one sibling by another. The physical abuse can range from relatively mild forms of aggression occurring between siblings, such as pushing and shoving, to extremely violent behavior such as the use of weapons. (3)Often parents don 't recognize the abuse for what it is. Typically, parents and society expect fights and other physical forms of aggression to occur among siblings. Because of this, sibling abuse often is not seen as a problem until serious injuries occur. Another factor is that in some cases, siblings may switch back and forth between the roles of abuser and victim. Research shows that violence between siblings is quite common. In fact, it is probably even more common than child abuse (by parents) or spouse abuse. (2)The most violent members of American families are the children. It has been estimated that three children in 100 are dangerously violent toward a brother or sister. (3)Likewise, many researchers have estimated sibling incest to be much more common than parent-child incest. It seems that when abusive acts occur between siblings, they are often not perceived as abuse.…
