Bullying can happen anywhere and to anyone whether it is online or in person. It can happen at school, in your neighborhood, or while your on-line. “Bullying is when someone is being hurt by words or by actions on purpose.” “Cyberbullying is using technology - internet, email, cell phones, social media, pictures - to hurt or harm someone.” It can have a major effect on the bully and the victim both. But, bullying is not just name calling, it is also teasing, spreading rumors, leaving someone out on purpose, or talking about someone or hurting someone. Bullying is a big deal and has ruined many lives of children who are just my age. Teaching kids about bullying is very important so they will know what to do if they are being bullied or …show more content…
Many bullies either got picked on themselves or have a bad home life so they need to make other people 's lives bad also. There are also some bullies that just pick on kids to get attention or they think that it is cute. If a bully does not have a lot of stuff that other people have, they feel the need to pick on other kids so that they can stand out and fit in. Bullies do not realize is how much picking on someone can affect them.
Similarities/Differences
Cyberbullying and bullying have many similarities but do not have very much differences. The similarities of cyberbullying and face-to-face bullying are as simple as them both being some form of bullying. There are different levels of bullying however. Such as the first level being you simply calling someone a name. The next level would be them going from calling them a name once, to them calling them a name everyday. If it continues to get worse and worse than it may even get to the point where they start physically bullying them. Some get as bad as the bully beating them up. But all bullying is bad and not okay. You can hurt people really badly, no matter how much you do it and no matter if it is behind a screen or not. That 's why the answer to my research question - Is cyberbullying as bad as face-to-face? - is yes. “Both are bullying that can cause harmful effects.” But, the bully seems as if they are more bold behind a computer
Bullying is a problem is schools that may cause many students to feel unsafe school. Due to the recent school shooting in Littleton Colorado and in Santana High School in Santee, California.

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.
In our time today, there are many types of "bullying", but the one type I believe can be the worse and the one I will be discussing will be “Cyber bullying.” Cyber Bullying is an action when people either get together or by themselves purposely threaten or harass another kid through social media, such as Twitter or Facebook. The use of smart phones makes this action so easy to do and we can't really do anything to stop it from happening. These people can go and tweet about something any part of the day. All types of bullying are usually related in some type of way but the action of doing it is usually much different. Cyber bullying is one of the worst types of
Bullying has been around since the beginning of time. Parents may remember when they were kids and the bully would pick on them or their friends by stealing lunch money or just getting beat up, and that was the end of it. The victims remember the hurt, frustration, and sadness it caused. However, these days, bullying is not just happening on the playground or at the bus stop, it is happening on the Internet and on cell phones, making it possible to bully a child 24 hours a day with multiple bullies and thousands of kids watching. Cyberbullying follows children nonstop and into the safety of their house. Sometimes kids are afraid to inform their parents about the cyberbullying that they will think its there fault. Or that their parents will call the bullies parents or other parents, making the bullying worse. However, the effect and pain that comes from cyberbullying is real. People underestimate cyberbullying, just because it is happening online and not in person. Cyberbullying can lead to many different factors like drinking, and drugs, poor grades, depression, eating disorders. Many students have even taken their own lives because of another student saying something to them online. Cyberbullying has been taking place a lot more in middle and high schools because of the increased usage of social media networks and technology. Cyberbullying is worse and more harmful than traditional bullying.
Children who are bullying may have concerns, fears, feeling lonely and make them unhappy. Because threatened in bad things or negative. Make kids have caused confusion and the lonely, embarrassed friends in school and sometime they may skip school. Study in school psychology found when it come bullying girls were more likely to be victim of verbal or relational assaults while boys were more likely to be physically bullied and as kids age the physical bullying. It may affect development of children. Furthermore,
Bullying is known to potentially have a significant impact on a child’s life. However, it’s important to realize that bullying doesn’t just affect the child. Here, we’ll look how bullying affects everyone involved in the behaviour.
Bullying in children and adolescence is becoming an ever increasing issue as it is prevalent in various forms including physical, verbal, relational, and cyber space (Wang et al., 2011). Bullying can be defined as a subtype of aggression that involves repeated exposure to negative actions with the intent to cause harm or discomfort and an imbalance of power between the bully and victim (Hong, Kral, & Sterzing, 2014). Youth who are being bullied have been found to have significant risk of developing depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and attempts, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (Yen et al., 2014). Studies have shown that depression is associated with exposure to bullying, so it is crucial that health care professionals
In the United States, there is an increasing amount of Bullying of various types among school-aged children. Bullying has not only become worse it is also more evident and proven now of the horrible affects bullying has on children causing long term psychological or physical damage and in some cases even ends in death as in the case of Phoebe Prince in 2004. (J. Holladay, 2011, par. 5) The chances and ability to inflict constant bullying or torment on a victim has increased as the internet and social media has come into children’s lives. This reduces the amount of time victims have without this negative influence on their lives and increasingly drives down their self-esteem raising the risk for them to do just what
Bullying is a serious problem today. Bullying is any kind of mistreatment done with an intent to harm someone. In true bullying there is an imbalance of power. Usually the bully is bigger, older, more popular, or stronger. Bullies use their
Bullying is a kind of abuse that is acted to hurt someone , either emotionally or physically. In early age , children repeat some actions again and again intentionally to hurt someone and irritate other people through those actions or hit someone again and again for the same purpose. In fact , that is bullying [Tom McIntyre (Dr Mac ) and Alexis Franks (N. D. )] . In 3-4 year olds, bullying is considered intentional. There are three to four kinds of bullying into early age and we can identify the signs of bullying (especially parents ), reasons of the identified signs can also be searched out by parents, and there are some steps through which we can over-come bullying because if parents don 't stop bullying into early age of their children, bullying will increase with growth of that child [Kim Storey, Ron Slaby (2013 )] . There are too many problems of bullying, such as stereotyping, which is one of the major issue that will occur if parents don 't control their children in early childhood. Children can also grow to hate some relations when they grow up and always see negativity in those relations. For example, a child in his early childhood, whose name is Chris, hits his cousin Rena and bites on her arms because she plays with his toys. Chris may carry this hate from now till the time he grows up and by then he will only see negativity in Rena and would hate her forever. That is if his parents don 't change his perception of Rena while he 's still in the early
This website was made to make sure that there is information available to parents, teachers, lawyers and professionals on how to handle bullying, ways to prevent it as well as explaining what bullying is. My stance is that there should be more steps taken to prevent bullying. On this website, a person is able to see what all the types of harassment are. Harassment ranges from sexual, racial, disability to gender. In elementary school, I too went through bullying because of my disability. I know that it can be hard for a student to get through the day when someone is picking on them and distracting them because of something that they can not control. Kids do not realize that the tormenting can make one feel down and not wanting to be in a
In example #2 of the bullying cases in which the female middle school student committed suicide after being harassed by her peers over a “sexting” photo, the school demonstrated significant incompetence in both government anti-bullying protocols as well as legal, moral, and ethical imperatives based on bullying research in the field of school psychology. This is shown by the exclusive focus on the student’s sexting photo and not on the later acts of bullying and their psychological implications in an environment populated by young people at a critical stage of cognitive and social development. Although the federal trial court dismissed the parent’s lawsuit based on “the school not being in a custodial relationship with the student at the time of the suicide,” this ruling represents a superficial understanding of the psychological impact of bullying in a school context and the school’s ethical and moral responsibility to develop a comprehensive plan to create an anti-bullying culture among faculty, students, and parents that extends beyond the school year. In the following, I will discuss in detail the specific areas of incompetence demonstrated by the school and how and why this incompetence weakens its moral, ethical, and legal foundation.
The influence of school bullying is not as one dimensional as some have thought, and recent studies have examined this issue from the angles of student perception as well as socio-cultural perspectives (Espelage et al., 2014). Bullying is a dynamic issue with the capability to impact schools in numerous areas. Researchers typically categorize the negative effects of school bullying in terms of both individual short and long term consequences and in terms of the overall climate of a school system. Smithyman, Fireman, and Asher (2014) have described a plethora of negative consequences faced by individual victims of bullying, including: reduced psychological and social adjustment, lower degrees of physical well-being, higher levels of depression, increased anxiety, poorer work and school achievement, and increased likelihood of suicide or suicidal ideation. Other researchers affirm these conclusions and include the following effects: lower commitment to school attendance, serious mental health problems, aggressive retaliatory behaviors, diminished confidence and self-esteem, increased feelings of loneliness and alienation, and higher overall psychological distress (Casebeer, 2012; Chisholm, 2014; Cornell et al. 2013). Not every victim of bullying should necessarily expect to experience these issues, but vast amounts of research confirm a significant a connection between these issues and bullying (Smithyman et al., 2014). Cornell et al. (2013) reports that individual and
As bullying continues to rise amongst children of all ages, it is absolutely crucial to not only find out what implications being victimized have on a child, but also find possible ways to eliminate the negative outcomes they endure. Current research has already gathered an abundance of information surrounding the effects bullying has on its victims. One area of current focus on bullying and victimization is the health effects. Serious negative mental, emotional and physical health outcomes have been discovered. Now based on this information, researchers need to push forward and try to find ways to decrease the negative outcomes not simply look at what the effects of bullying are.
It 's thirty minutes till the school bell rings, A terrified twelve year old girl sobs begging her mother to keep her from school. Meanwhile, across town another twelve year old young lady tries to arrive to school ready to learn, she is detoured by her raging mother mad because clothes are not folded properly in their place. The sobbing pre-teen will be coerced to go to school and, the one with family problems finally arrives thirty minutes late finishing her homework on the car ride all the while mother has yet to halt the abuse. Unknowingly these social differences result in catastrophe. So we ignore the common variables within our family that make bullies and define the bullied.
