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
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
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.
With school-aged children, bullying more frequently happens while they are at school, or afterward when the students are not being supervised by their teacher in places like the cafeteria, bus, lockers, playground or neighborhood. Now that kids have access to online technology, bullying can also happen on the internet. With this in mind, teachers must now research and understand what bullying is, and develop methods to help fight against bullying. Bullying is the aggressive, unwanted behavior that occurs between kids of all ages. Children that bully are using the power they believe they have over other kids to try to control and harm them. Bullying can happen via verbal, social, or physical abuses, such as name-calling, threats, spreading rumors, isolation, embarrassment, spitting, hitting, destroying personal things, etc. In order to be considered bullying, these bad behaviors are repeated over time.
Do you think you know all the facts about bullying? There are so many different types of bullying that someone may not even realize they have become a victim of the act. Some people have been picked on so much by another, they end up forming a habit of bullying themselves. They may even pick up the habit of allowing others to bully them. The term 'bully' means to be on top; to use aggresive behavior to get what he or she wants. We can be bullied in many forms. It comes in verbal aggresiveness, being physically aggresive, or even being bullied through social media; also known as cyber bullying.
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 comes in many different forms, physical, mental, verbal, cyber relational. But the most common type of bullying is cyber bullying. Bullying is identified as a rude or hurtful action that is repeatedly acted upon another thing. In the article ‘Bullying Statistics’ it states, “About 42 percent of kids have been bullied while online with one in four being verbally attacked more than once.” This shows that too many kids have been bullied, just online.
Low self-esteem is a common reason why someone would want to bully a person. Low self-esteem is the lack of pride a person feels in themselves. Often times a bully feels like they are less than others and the only way for them to feel better about themselves is to try to bring others down. A lot of bullies aren’t trying to hurt someone physically, they use words and certain remarks to torture a person, making that person feel just as less as them just to uplift their own self-esteem. Although low self-esteem is a cause narcissism is also a factor to bullying. Not only can a bully feel less of themselves but they can also feel that they are higher or better than others. Cockiness is a trait seen in many bullies. This may show in people such as jocks at a high school, or a fellow co-worker that may have a higher position or make a higher salary.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
Bullying is an action that is very serious and can be very hurtful. Bullying can happen at any age, anywhere. Bullying is not a joke and it should always be taken seriously. Bullying causes a lot fair amount of problems that are in the world today, and matters just seem to get worse. It needs to be brought to the worlds attention the truths about a bullies mind, types of people that are bullied, and who is the one at fault. Bullying needs to be brought to a minimum, it is ruining society as a whole.
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
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.
