A Short Story : Bully : The Story Of Autumn

Riley Edlitz suffered through years of harassment in elementary school, which she believes catalyzed her role as a bully. Now a freshman at Scarsdale High School, Riley distinctively remembers feeling powerless and insecure. “The bullying just really got to me, I believed everything they said about me. I felt worthless.” She was mocked, tormented, and insulted on a daily basis; “I became a shell of the person I once was,” she accepts.

In “Phoebe Prince: Should School Bullying Be a Crime?”, an article written by journalist Jessica Bennet addresses school bullying, the outcomes and the consequences that bullies deserve or not. Above all, this article aims the spotlight on bullying, a 15-year-old who took her own life due to harassment, torment, rumors, physical threats all leading it to being bullied by well-known good students. In any case, the process of being bullied has never been taken into consideration nor importance in the school system or by society in general. “It’s even gotten better over the past decade says Dan Olweus, a leading bullying expert”. However, bullying just does not disappear, it is still an issue that humankind does not have any diligence to the cause

Autumn S. is a twelve-year old girl who presented at a short-term residential facility after a violent assault on her adoptive mother. This was not her first violent episode. She has a long history of violence towards herself, most notably a history of hitting her head against the wall when she is upset. This behavior is serious and has led to her being treated in the Emergency Room for concussions. She has also assaulted a number of same-age peers and younger children. She and her older brother engaged in a group assault on one of their good friends, hitting him with backpacks full of books. She also attempted to drown her younger cousin after an altercation in a wading pool. It required two adults to pull her off of the younger child. This violence has resulted in various problems in Autumn's life. She has been in trouble in school because of violence towards classmates, and has been targeted by other children because of her violent behavior towards others. She has been in trouble in the home because of her violence. She has even been in trouble with the law, as her most recent violent attack against her adoptive mother was of sufficient severity that a neighbor intervened and called the police.

I enjoyed reading your post and found the story to be sad as well as tragic. I believed it to be very disturbing that a child would do such harm to herself in front of her family. It seems as though the child was in need of a lot of help and attention. A strong sense of self-worth and sturdy moral compass are elements widely viewed as important for building and participating in a civil society (Broderick & Blewitt, 2017). There was not enough support for her bulling issue in the home. The building up of self-esteem begins in the home but continues throughout the developmental process. I have a son and he had self-esteem issues but I constantly built him up to try to make it difficult for anyone to bring him down. It is not an

While I was walking through the hallways of Duncan High School, I seen Destyni walking out of the girls bathroom across from Mrs. Snider’s journalism class with toilet paper from her waistband. I seen it and everyone started laughing and pointing at her so I ran up to her and told her. From that day forward Destyni was known as the toilet girl. Her so called best friend Destinie started bullying her and Destyni thought she was a true friend. Destyni couldn’t take the bullying anymore, so she went home and told her mom what was happening and how she wanted to take her life away because she was getting bullied and it was just making her stressed out even more. Her mom decided to take the school to court for her getting bullied. Destyni then got

With my newfound sense of worth - the desire to exact some kind of revenge for being so subjugated was inexplicably tempting. Though some say that by forgiving we become virtuous, was it not Shakespeare himself who said, “If you wrong us, shall we not

Emily was always bullied as a child. People would pick on her for her weight and how she looked. Peers would stare and laugh at her as they saw her coming down the hallway. It was harsh. She had to deal with this everywhere she went. It was like she had no freedom. Her classmates would say and do rude and disrespectful things to her. She was bullied to the point where her parents moved her to a private all-girls school. There she met the best friends she ever had. But as the year progressed, she started to bully other kids and make them feel bad about themselves. She also did this because she didn’t want to be the victim again at her new school. Emily said,” I felt better about myself when I was bullying others. I felt included.” Then she met a girl who changed her perspective on how Emily was treating others. Jasmine was always a very kind person. She was one of those girls that if everyone was talking bad about someone she would try to change the subject. Emily loved having her as a friend, and she realized that she didn’t want Jasmine to think she was

Do something, that is all it takes to save a child from others and themselves. Bullying has a negative impact on children's mental health that can continue into their adult life. Victims of bullying are at a higher chance of developing anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. This is only to name a few of the very serious mental health problems that are plaguing the minds of those who are to lead the world.

Attention Getter: How would you feel if someone was trying to put you down for your appearance or your culture or your for just being you? How would you feel if there was no one to turn to because you feel like everyone would just make fun of you? How would you like it if you were stuck in bed just wanting to stay home because everyone is just not nice to you? This is what someone goes through when it comes to bullying. This also leads to other things that shouldn’t be the only way out. There is always someone out there for you. You just have to

Everyone hears the story. It happens almost too much and sometimes just an ordinary day of a teenager’s life. A young teenager comes home crying to her mother that she was picked on at school. Her best friend made fun of what she was wearing, did not sit with her at lunch, and talked about her behind her back. Everyone has gone through this sometime in their life—being teased or picked on. However, when does it come to the point of bullying? The topic of bullying is not new, and it happens to more teenagers than what we would like to think.

Bullies in School Kathleen Berger 1 Bullying was once commonly thought to be an unpleasant but normal part of child's play, not to be encouraged, of course, but of little consequence in the long run. However, developmental researchers who have looked closely at the society of children consider bullying to be a very serious problem, one that harms both the victim and the aggressor, sometimes continuing to cause suffering years after the child has grown up. 2 One leading researcher in this area is Dan Olweus, who has studied bullying in his native country of Norway and elsewhere for twenty-five years. The cruelty, pain, and suffering that he has documented in that time are typified by the examples of Linda and Henry: Linda was systematically

There was a young Boy named Steve which had parents named Kelli and Matt. They were a very poor family and almost didn’t have enough money for school let alone food.
