The results and consequences of bulling in all sorts of format (verbal, cyber or physical)

About 88 percent of children with Autism have been bullied at school. From verbal abuse to physical contact. Parents indicated that schools were doing little to address the bullying. When kids with disabilities get bullied, it can directly impact their education. Some kids with disabilities are already facing challenges in the academic environment and social life. Children and teens with disabilities are usually expelled out of someone’s clique or even alienated by the bully or the whole clique. And most times the bully gets no consequence. Just one in five parents said they learned about the bullying from the school. Two out of three cases, the bullying lasted several months and the school didn’t do enough to asses the bullying. In addition there are federal laws, all state laws have something to do with bullying. Some have specific information on bullying children with disabilities. When kids have been bullied, they often think they are the only one being bullied, and that no one cares, in fact they are not alone, these assumptions are inaccurate. Most kids with disabilities will get cyber bullied, and the bully will post misrepresentations about the victim. Just like Phoebe Prince’s anecdote, where she gets almost every kind of bullying. It’s important to help prevent

This literature review began with the question, “Are children with Autism Spectrum Disorder more likely to be associated with school violence and bullying?” I wanted to focus on bullying and the impact it has on adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder versus non-special needs students. More importantly, cases of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder experienced bullying on various levels. Literature was examined that described the social limitations that children with Autism Spectrum Disorder experience on a daily basis. Many of these limitations restrict them from developing and maintaining friendships, which allows them to be at a higher risk for victimization and bullying by their peers. Much of the research explored

In the article by Rose, Swearer, & Espelage (2012) the authors explained that further research should be conducted to determine if anti-bullying programs effectively impact exceptional education students or if modifications were needed The authors also argued that bullying not only affects the regular student, but it possibly puts the special need student at a higher risk. They are at a higher risk due to physical elements, personal qualities, and school related issues. When students with disabilities display age-appropriate social skills and positive self-concept, are academically sound, develop positive relationships, and are involved in school activities, their

Bullying in the United States has become epidemic, but some schools are resistant to instill anti-bullying programs, because they fear the program will be ineffective. The article, Creating An Anti-Bullying Culture In Secondary Schools: Characterists to Consider When Constructing Appropriate Anti-Bullying Programs, researchers Joseph R. Jones, and Sharon Murphy Augustine address the issue of bullying head on. Research indicates that students who are from a low socioeconomic background, students who are racially diverse, students who have a learning disability, and student’s sexual orientation has the largest effect on bullying rates in the United States (Jones &Augustine, pp. 74-76). In a recent survey, twenty five percent of students reported that they are bullied on a daily basis and that cyber bullying is at an all time high (Jones &Augustine, p. 74). Due to the increased rates of bullying, there is an increase on teen suicide and school shootings. (Jones
