Bullying: A Serious Problem In The United States

It is important to define the term bullying accurately because that term alone can be adversarial. With that being said it can mean intimidation, aggression, hostile behaviors, and pestering the weak. Bullying takes place in schools, work, and in your own home. It can pretty much happen anywhere. Bullying in my terms is anything that can make a person feel weak minded, and has to submit.

Bullying is one of the leading causes in teen suicide today. People bullied in the past or present have been studied and it has shown that they have a lower quality of life. Though they have a lower quality of life, the have better physical and mental health. (“Seaman” 1). Studies have shown that most bullying happens in middle school and high school. There is bullying in elementary school but it is minimal and less serious (“Bullying Statistics” 1).

When it comes to bullying in schools it has plenty of negative effects on some individual students. There are some kids who don’t have a problem with bullying because they are the problem.

Kids can be bullied for many, many reasons, for example, because their clothes are different, or they may have a learning disability, they may have something in their racial history that people don’t like, or because of their family, and so many more. Bullies may tease kids constantly about how their clothes are out of style. (This is very common around girl clicks.) Some children will exclude them from hanging out with them because they have people in their family that are from different countries. Or maybe a group will hate on a kid because they can’t read as fast as everyone else. Americans need to stand against bullying to make our nation a superior place to live.

Bullying is a very important and main problem in America. It can happen in communities, schools, and homes is there are older siblings. Many adults could do something about it but they are taking there time. There are also many organizations that do their best to stop it.

Sadly, 2 out of 3 teens are physically harassed each year. Moreover, every time that someone gets bullied, they have a better chance of having problems at school.

Is bullying really that big of a problem? These days, it is easily ignored amongst public attributable to the fact that it is such a common thing.

An example that supports that statement would be the book “Some Girls Are” by Courtney Summers.

Many problems come across the United States everyday. One problem that stands almost as clear as the seas in Indonesia is bullying. Bullying gives schools all across America issues because of the violent, aggressive behavior students have to one another.

Considering the fact that bullying is a spreading issue I believe that there are some simple facts that everyone should know about it. Lets start off with a clear definition of what bullying is, “Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior in which someone intentionally and repeatedly causes another person injury or discomfort…The bullied individual typically has trouble defending him or herself and does nothing to “cause” the bullying.” "Bullying." American Psychological Association. N.p., n.d. Web. 24 May 2016. Victims of bullying are known to be “2 to 9 times more likely to consider suicide than non-victims”. "Bullying and Suicide - Bullying Statistics." Bullying Statistics. N.p., 07 July 2015. Web. 24 May 2016.

School bullying is mentally destructive to not only the victims, but bullies because of the harmful words, harassment, and physical violence involved as well as the consequences for the bully.

Bullying should be dealt with more seriously. I feel this way because it’s a huge problem throughout the public school system and online. Bullying can have serious effects on an individual. The saying “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” (Robert Fulghum) isn’t true, words hurt. Despite all efforts to stop bullying, it continues to be a big problem all over the world. If you look up the definition of bullying according to Marriam- Webster it says bullying is “to treat someone in a cruel, insulting, threatening, or aggressive fashion.” According to a UCLA psychology study, 20 percent of teens grades 9-12 have reported being bullied and that’s not including the people who haven’t spoke out about being bullied. Seventy-seven percent of students in public schools have been bullied at least once through kindergarten- 12th grade, also shown in a study by UCLA. All of this proves what we are doing to discipline bullying is not enough to stop it.
