Anti-Bullying Book Report

I read the short story “The Bully, the Bullied, and the Bystander” written by Barbara Coloroso. I never pictured how bad bullying was until I read this book. What I liked about this book was how the author found a way to deal with people being bullied, the bullies and the bystanders. Also how she described every type of bullying and how to prevent them. It's a very inspirational book.

The concept of bullying in the school system has been linked to many homicides and

I knew nothing about the book except its amazing title and distinct description. I have read many bullying stories, but this one seemed to stand out more compared to most stories. I wanted to read this story because it had something that interested me greatly, on the back Lucy stated that “to feel that more than anything else we want to be loved for who we are, while wishing desperately and secretly to be perfect” I found this quote quite unique in contrast to other books in this genre which intrigued me greatly.

If history could rewind to when Alexander Hamilton was the treasury secretary instead of Jack Lew, the former would most definitely make the more sensible decision: to swap the Andrew Jackson adorned $20 with a prominent historical female portrait. As it is 2015, Treasury Secretary Lew -- seemingly deaf to countless proponents of doing so -- has unilaterally decided that the $10 bill (and Alexander Hamilton) be unseated.

What is the most effective way to stop bullying? According to the article “ Teenage Bullies” by Jenifer Goodwin, the author discusses that the reason why teenage bullying others is because they want attentions to be more popular. First,the bullying level is also relate to the ability. Second, most of the teenage bullies are the popular kids but not the most popular kids. Third, the majority of kids did not bullying others. In addition, the author suggested that if we want to solve the bullying problems we should consider to encourage all the bystanders to speak up to stop bullying. Finally, the author also mentions other solution is the victims should know how to protect themselves. The article makes an important point when it discusses the popular kids’ intention of bullying, and the witnesses should help to stop bullying.

Ancient historian Thucydides in his history of the ancient world describes us history of war between two superpowers, Athens and Sparta, which weakened all of the Greek City- states and lead to their submission by Macedonians. One of the leaders on the Athenian side was Pericles. Pericles, who was admired by Thucydides, was in one of his capacities strategist, who try to shape Athens’s strategy in war with Sparta. We

One reason that the book, Dear bully, is interesting because books that show about bullying makes the reader produce a deep feeling about the character in the book. Lauren Kate is the main character of this story and tries to deal with other people when being

Everyone has gone through bullying no one is safe from it. Bullying at MHS is not as vibrant in MHS as in other schools, but students know it happens on a daily even if it is not witnessed by one. Tho it occurs it seems common for students at school to not go to anyone for help. Eliza Rubio, another student, explains that, “It brings down your confidence on how people will think of you. It affects your ability to do your best at the things you used to do. I didn't go to someone because I felt like I could just ignore it, but in reality it sticks to you for life”. From Rubio’s words this reveals how the bullying and harassment led to her not performing the best as she once did. She even includes how she did not seek help because she ignored

According to the article “Tales of Bullying,” students can become a bad bully because you might have your own group of friends you want to impress or try to show off for, or you might have something going on at home. According to paragraph 3 in “Meet the New Sheriff” kids may get bullied because of their hair and/or what they wear. All around the wonderful world good kids are ending their own good lives over bullying. A bad bully is far worse than a lazy bystander because mean bully’s cause suicides, bullies cause/have low self-esteem, not to mention they suffer a large amount of punishment.

According to the text, “Tales of Bullying,” “Any ongoing behavior that is meant to make someone else feel bad is bullying.” Kids may become a bully because they have trouble at home. Kids may be bullied because they are different. I think being a bully is worse than a bystander because they are the people actually causing the pain, they could be blamed for suicide, and lose trust. Don’t get me wrong being a bystander is a terrible thing, but I think bulling is worse because they are the kids actually causing pain on another kid.

When Ramirez wrote the case study, He wanted to see how students cope with hardships such as bullying in school, and in doing so creates better knowledge for school social workers to produce better anti-bullying programs. He defines bullying by citing Mizell-Christie (2003) as “Physical psychological, or verbal intimidation

For quarter 4 I was really struggling on a book I wanted to read. I didn’t want a big one because I knew I wasn’t going to finish it. When I came across The Lying Game I was very interested because it was a bit of a mystery. I read The Lying Game by Sara Shepard. I thought this book was very good but, was very confusing at some parts. I got really confused when Emma found out that her twin sister Sutton had died because it didn’t give specific details about it happening. I chose to read this book because when I read the back it sounded really good and because it was a mystery.

The high school I attended in Hawaii was largely underfunded and did not have the materials necessary to help prepare me for college. In fact, my old high school holds a college readiness index score of 8.7 out of 100 on US News & World Report. Once I recognized that I was in a poor learning environment, I seized an opportunity to transfer from Konawaena High School to Garfield High School (Seattle) in order to better position myself for college. Subsequent to transferring, I enrolled in Running Start courses at Seattle Central College and sought out help to plot my next steps. In addition to applying to several Colleges I was compelled to apply for scholarships, which paid off because I am now a recipient of the Gates Millennium Scholarship.

When I was in third grade there was this kid named Andrew. He is a very important person in my memories because he was my bully. It wasn’t the kind of bullying situation that you could fix by telling a parent because he was in my dad’s car. Yes he was a person in my dad’s carpool and there was nothing i could do about it. At school there was an assembly that talked about the types of bullies. They were verbal, assault, exclusion, and cyber. He would do all of those things to me. He would call me fat, ugly, and swear words that i can’t say/write. He was also at my school and we had recess together. When i would go outside he would track me down and he would push me and throw basket balls and soccer balls at me.

There are many times where we are observers of other people’s behavior whether negative or positive and do not give it deep thought unless the behavior impacts us directly. We may go about life with the belief that good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people. Then when a bad thing happens to a good person (or vise versa), we then take the time to analyse how can this be possible and whether it is fair or not. Now imagine that you are raising a well mannered child who respects others, but comes home year after year letting you know that she is being bullied at school. You then wonder what can your child be doing wrong to deserve this, what can she do differently, and you can’t seem to understand why your child who is a good person is having bad things happen to her. Bullying in fact causes serious health issues as well as social and it has been estimated that around 30% of children are victims of bullying in the adolescent years (Garland, Policastro, Richards, & Miller, 2017). In the past schools and parents did not look at bullying as an issue and many times the bullying went unnoticed because it was considered the norm and a part of growing up. In turn this can be a reason why people blame the victim for what happens to them and not the victimizer. When these thoughts cross our minds, we are participating in a Belief Just World Phenomenon.
