First, bullying comes from all ages all the way up to adults. Bullying is more noticeable in middle school then in high school. I do not think this is due to a maturity issue between the grade levels simply because older bully younger and younger bully older. Most school bullying is done inside school and less on the property and even less on the bus coming to and from school. We all wonder what is causing all of this bullying.

We have talked multiple times in class about the effects of bullying, and something needs to be done about it. According to the article by Erin Murphy, outlining the data behind bullying, it is proven that the reports of bullying from school districts is very inconsistent, and almost impossible to see what the numbers mean. However, we do know that most victims of bullying are picked on because of “their physical attributes or their mental or physical abilities.” This is absolutely ridiculous. Everyone is made differently, and they are often things that cannot be changed without some sort of extreme surgery, and it breaks my heart that people are bullied for something that they cannot change, may not be their fault, and is just something that they SHOULD NOT be bullied for. We can see bullying starting at a very young age, and it is not acceptable. But what can we do to change this? Can teachers really put an end to bullying, or does it have to come from the way parents are raising their children? We saw in the clips from the movie “Bully” that this is a huge issue that needs to be addressed and changed immediately, before people suffer even
Many of us believe it is the younger age group that is bullied most often, we think this because they are still in the stages of growing up. However, according to “Age Trends in the Prevalence of Bullying” (2007), “bullying affects kids ages 11-15, they have also noticed, once the teen hits ninth grade bullying begins to peak.” (p. 1) The article “Bullying Statistics” (n.d) claims teens in sixth through 10th grade are likely to be involved in activities related to bullying (para. 2).” The definition of bullying according to Merriam Webster (2016), is to frighten, hurt, or threaten (a smaller or weaker person) (p. 1).”

This usually begins in elementary school, but is often overlooked by officials because it is not viewed as a serious problem, but more as a natural matter. Bullying in elementary school consists of one kid picking on the other child's flaws or anything they think makes that child weird or different. When bullying starts to get more intense at this age level, physical bullying occurs, which involves one child hitting or punching the other. Once children enter middle school, the conditions of bullying increase tremendously. Middle school is the most intense level of bullying preteens and young adults have to face throughout their school years. In middle school, children are trying to find there way and making friends plays a crucial role.

Statistics show that between the ages of 5 and 7 is when bullying is very hot. In the article “Bullying at a young age” it states that “between these ages is when children are maturing and starting to realize new things about others” children do not intend to pick on one another they just simply do don 't know how to be polite about the situation. When bullying is in action most of the time other tend to believe the parents are not connected with their children as much as they should be. Sometimes a person begins to bully others because of their situation and lifestyle at home. We all know things at home can sometimes get a little out of hand, in all families. A child may come from a single parent home or their parents may have just recently split up. In other instances, a person may live in a poor neighborhood and their parents or guardians may not be handling the responsibility of being a parent in a way that they should. The most popular reason for a bully to start bullying in the first place usually is a cry for help.
Bullying has a variety of leading causes. A major cause of bullying is social issues. Children have begun to realize that by acting out they will receive attention (Why do People Bully?). They do not realize this is a negative form of attention. A child that receives very little attention in social situations is likely to bully to obtain the attention he/she desires. Children could also not have the proper skills to act well behaved in public, leading them to bully (Why do People Bully?). A child not having the properly developed skills to work in public would make him/her feel out of place causing him/her to act out. The occurrence of bullying is also due to family issues. When a child is dealing with issues at home with things such as finances, abuse, or attention loss it can cause him/her to bully. A child receiving improper or no discipline is more likely to bully because he/she will believe there is nothing wrong with what he/she is doing. If a child is
Whether bullying concerns you or not, it is a topic that happens world-wide and should not be ignored. You or someone you love could be suffering from this and it is in everyone’s best interest to pay attention to what is happening around them. Being well informed about this topic is imperative because although there are endless amounts of programs supporting the cause, getting those being bullied to speak up is still a great issue. In a study done by the National Bullying Prevention Center, 64% of children who were bullied did not report it; only 36% reported the bullying(2). We have all fallen into the hands of a bully at least once in our lives and I’m tired of listening to the phrase “ make the world a better place” when that should first start by making the people that live in it kinder to one another.
