School bullying is one of the big problems in student life. Most student have experienced bullying or feel bullying while they at school. The consequences of this problem can happen for a long time. It can make the victim feel helpless, lonely, scared or upset. Moreover, they may lose the confidence and striving in their school life. Gradually, it makes they don’t want to go to school anymore.

An average bullying session lasts about 37 seconds; an adult intervenes in the problem about one in twenty-five times (Bullying Facts). Bullying is seen as aggressive and unwanted behavior between two or more people (Aspa).  Most people who are not involved in the actions going on do not really know it’s happening.  Most parents do not even know when their child, or children, are being bullied (Bullying Facts).  Bullying can be prevented if the right consequences take place.  Parents and schools have the rules about bullying prevention, but these do not prevent the bullying from continuing their ways.  People who bully often should receive bigger consequences because eventually the problem could escalate and the bully will continue their

Since autism is on the rise in elementary classrooms, teachers are being told that they have to implement inclusion

It’s harder to interact with people not only because you find it hard but also because you’re different and people don’t like different. It’s harder to become socially acceptable. People treat autistic people differently than they would treat people without autism. They tend to do this because they view it as ‘not normal’. When someone’s told they’re different, they start viewing themselves differently.

The public school system has been governed by landmark cases and school law throughout history. One of the early cases was Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 where the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional for states to have separate public schools for black and white students (Hubbard, 2014). Since 1954, the public school system has had a series of landmark cases which effect educational law such as Tinker v. Des Moines (1969), New Jersey vs. T.L.O. (1985), Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier (1988), and Individuals with Disabilities Act (1990). The State and Supreme Courts have ruled on everything from Freedom of Speech to Special Education.

How Autism was diagnosed changed, and the term “Autism” started to be considered as a wide spectrum of disabilities (Daily 1). The Education for All Children Act was passed in 1975 and it guaranteed a “free and appropriate education in the least restrictive environment” (Dybvik 2). This means that in public education, an autistic student would be able to be educated with their nondisabled peers in the general education as much as possible. The Education for All Children Act was updated y the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1997 (Dybvik 3). The IDEA added Autism as a category. As a result, over sixty-five thousand students with Autism across the country were educated in inclusive environments (Daily 1). Since the discovery of Autism, research has shown that the severity of disability can be very different in individual students. Therefore, children that may have once been excluded from general education can be mainstreamed more.

“My little boy now five was diagnosed with autism in August … while we were shopping he threw a tantrum. He was rolling around on the floor, running off, and he hit me twice … people are staring, looking at me with horrible looks and some even laughing.” (Ambitious about Autism). Autism affects 1 in 68 children, it is a very broad disability and everyone on the spectrum is unique. Autism is a mental disorder that affects the way people act in social situations and how they respond to their surroundings. Unawareness of autism is a very prevalent problem in our world, especially to those who experience it firsthand. To be more specific, this lack of knowledge is a problem because it has led to many untrue stereotypes being formed about autism,

Teasing and playing around are all part of growing up; however, what happens when it happens over and over. The Hernando County Code of Conduct defines bullying as:

Dr. Seuss once wrote “Why fit in when you were born to stand out?” The world has an opinion quite the opposite of this. If a person acts different than the rest of the word they are categorized as strange or “unfit” to be with the rest of the society. This was also the categorization of children with autism until recently in the United States. Views regarding these kids have changed over time; influence from the environment has had a great impact on these changes. The views of these children now and what teachers in the 21st century need to do to help them are key to not reliving the past.

Understanding the notion of bullying is undermined by an individual’s point of view, life experience, and personality. What some people declare as bullying others shake off as a typical behavior of kids. Whether the bias also has a base in gender or age the issue that needs to be dealt with is the damage done to the victim and the mental health needs of the perpetrator. The question regarding bullying is about norms and responses to violations of the norms. How students and adults interpret the actions, reactions, and feelings are tied to the level of open communications that exist. Adults often believe it when the student says ‘I’m fine’ because they want to believe it. Students are quite skillful about saying what they think adults want to hear. This lack of communication at home and school leaves a student who is being bullied isolated and vulnerable.

Every day more people refer to Autism as a social disability, and it definitely has a lot of social. We are not talking about a question of physical health, but of a social health. One of

Imagine walking into a room of people that you don't know at all. The feeling of not belonging in that room. That is how many autistic people feel about living in this world, not belonging, being out of place. Community has a big impact on how autistic people (and people with similar disorders) grow up, deal with these types of conflicts and see themselves as a whole. Not only did the article touch on this but, this is real world stuff that is happening in our daily lives. The article states, “We’ve got to let go of the victim mindset and stop talking about autism as ‘something bad someone did to us or our kids.’ Those of us on the spectrum must accept who and what we are, and recognize that the majority of us are this way naturally” (Robison

Imagine living a life in which everything you say or do is hardly understandable. Could you deal with the frustration that comes with having to always depend on someone for simple things such as using the bathroom, asking for a glass of water or simply writing your own name? This is the daily life of an Autistic person. Autism is a big learning, developmental disorder which causes people to mentally and socially process things slower. As time goes by the number of kids with autism gradually continues to increase and even though there is no cure for it yet, it can still be treated. Autism affects a person’s way of learning, it makes them have trouble interacting with others, and many people and students tend to bully and misjudge them.
