Bullying is a very touchy subject for people to talk about. It deals with a lot of mental, physical, and emotional damage. Bullying is violent and unwelcoming behavior among various different aged children in school that involves a lack of power for one kid and a lot of power for another.

The effects from bullying or being bullied all depends on the person and how they deal with things. “Contrary to accepted ruffian-scholarship, the more popular a middle- or high-school kid becomes, the more central to the social network of the school, the more aggressive the behavior he or she engages in” (Luscombe par 2). This confirms that people change people. When someone gets into an activity or group and this could have either a positive or negative effect on the person. Depending on the others in the group, it would most likely be a negative. You could be an innocent little girl who just joined a new group hoping to make new friends, but everyone else in the group are just bullies who seem to not have a care in the world for others’ happiness. “Kids and teens who were bullied were 2.55 times as likely to attempt suicide than their counterparts who had not been victimised” (Kaplan par 11). In other words, the victim is hurt more than the person who was not bullied and is more likely to want to be dead. They are more likely to want to kill themselves. It doesn’t matter how you were bullied, it’s the fact that you were bullied in the first place. Just because you’re being bullied does not mean that you are the only one being affected, the bullies are affected as well; they might have social difficulties in the future (Wilhelm par 5). It’s not just the victim who gets affected from being bullied, the bully himself gets affected as well, but in a slightly different manner. Everyone will be affected by the people they are around a lot. They may be influenced by good people, or by bad people. It all depends on your

Bullying, by definition “is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance” (Stop Bullying). Bullying has quickly become a serious problem in schools, and it negatively impacts both the bully and the victim. Students who have been bullied even once in their lifetime have a higher risk of attempting suicide, and in general have lower self-esteem, causing them to have difficulty maintaining relationships. Bullies themselves also begin to harass their peers because they have been abused or uncared for by their own family. While it may seem bullying is just a normal part of the high school experience, victims of bullying can face many psychological problems. Bullying is not something that should be disregarded, but instead should be properly addressed so that children who are bullied can find the help they desperately need.

Bullying takes a huge toll on you and can affect you for the rest of your life. Your parents condition you to think a certain way about others.

For my Unit 2 project I focused on a major social problem that affects millions of children every year, bullying. I chose a wonderful nonprofit organization that helps children who are being bullied. I t also helps parents learn how to attack this problem head on and find a resolution. This organization is called The Parent Network of Western New York. I had set up an interview by phone with one of the women who was actively involved with this organization every day. Her name is Lyn. Lyn has been with this non-profit organization for about 2 years. Lyn chose to work with this non-profit agency because as a young child she was bullied. Lyn felt that she never had anyone to turn to or talk to in her time of need, so that the choice for her was

Bullying is one of the hardest thing to work on and prevent in today’s world. In school there are about 28 percent of kids that are getting bullied. The ages are between 12-18 year old kids “(According to American society for the positive care of children). The bully’s pick on people that are smaller than them and cannot fight back.

Many young girls and boys are bullied throughout their lives. It's difficult to go through grade school and high school unscathed by the cruel wrath of a bully. Girls and boys are teased for numerous reasons and all have a common theme: "You don't fit in." Whether you're bullied for your physical appearance or for not conforming with the popular crowd, bullies tear you down for not fitting in. You lose your self-confidence, self-love, and you question individuality. During this time, you feel alone and you believe that no one understands your experience. However, you are not alone. There are many celebrities that have been subject to bullying throughout their education. Renown actress Kate Winslet was bullied as a young girl. Now, Winslet speaks

I never forget what I got bullied by classmates for three years in the middle school. The middle school where I went was small and had two classrooms; there were twenty students in each classroom. Thus, most students knew each other and were friendly. I was friendly with them when I was a freshman. However, when I became a sophomore, some classmates started bullying me every time. For example, team members always hit and shouted at me if my soccer team lost in physical education class: “We lost this game because you acted like a moron!”, and kicked me. Furthermore, some classmates stole my stuff, such as textbooks or school supplies. Thirdly, some classmates hit me since superiority complex to show they were stronger than me because I was short

In your response (2016) you articulated a rather powerful statement, one that I feel provides that overarching exclamation point that speaks much to the reality of our work, “Bullying is something that I do not believe will ever disappear altogether.” One of the aspects I find difficult with being called to magical realm of Social Work is the bold reality that despite my altruistic ideals, life will happen. It is the one thing that I cannot change, even if at times I have expended all of my efforts to do so. Consequently, though I advocate much for cultivating an anti-bully mindset within formal education and in our children, we too, as parents, must provide our children with a skillset (emotional and operational) on how to appropriately respond to bullying. This is one aspect you never hear much of.

Bullying can be hard to define, because research has shown that it comes in many forms which makes it difficult to find one set of characteristics that will describe a bully. Conclusively, studies have defined bullying as a set of repeated aggressive behavior that is intended to harm someone, which usually involves an imbalance of power between the victim and the perpetrator (Morgan, 2012, p. 174). Studies have shown that there are two distinct types of bullying, which is a direct form of verbal and physical aggression, and indirect, which often results in name calling, rumors and exclusion (Aluedse, 2006, p. 38). This form of peer victimization can have devastating effects on a child 's academic work and their physical and psychological well being (Limber, 2003, p. 23). In terms of gender, boys are more likely to be involved in physical bullying (direct) as for girls are more likely to be involved in indirect bullying (Wang et al, 2009, p. 371). Previous research indicates, that parents and friends are two important factors of social interaction associated with bullying and victimization among adolescences. Bullying is quite common among middle school children, because it is during this time that children go through puberty and hormonal changes. During this time students are looking to be accepted and fit into a specific group; however, when there is a lack of acceptance and esteem due to victimization, this can cause children to isolate themselves from those around them
