This article explores the prevalence rates of bullying victimization among special needs students in the United States. The researchers describe bullying victimization as the misuse and abuse of power to harm or humiliate an individual over time. Investigators have reported a higher rate of bullying and victimization among students with disabilities when compared with mainstream peers. Special needs students are prey for bullies because of characteristics related to their disabilities. Many students diagnosed with developmental delay lack social and communication skills. Disabilities such as autism, specific learning disorders, emotional disorders or attention deficit disorders may cause an individual to behave in a variety of ways. These students behaviors may be perceived as withdrawn,

Bullying among school-aged children is regarded as a widespread problem in the United States and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to the problem. According to the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES), over one third of students in elementary and middle schools are impacted by bullying (Klein, 2012). Bullying is defined as “unwanted, aggressive behavior among school-aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time” (Klein,2012). Studies show that the consequences of bullying not only include students who are bullied, but the effects extend to those who bully and

In the article Big Bad Bully by Hara Estroff Marano she discusses the main components of behavior that make up a bully, who can be a bully and why people choose to bully others. In the beginning of the article she focuses on suicide victims who could no longer take the mental, physical and emotional abuse of bullying. Marano (2017), “Months later, in Cherokee County, Georgia, 15-year-old Brian Head grew tired of the same teasing and deeds. The denouement was only slightly more remarkable. He shot himself to death—in front of his classmates. He walked to the front of the classroom and pulled the trigger.” The same teasing and deeds Marano is speaking of is being tripped in the hall, various name calling and being physically bullied. The article goes into depth of how the Western society treats bullying. We are prone to often dismiss bullying as kids being kids and, teachers are in denial that any such behavior exist in their class. However, the sad truth is that more times than not there is always a classroom bully. Because we often overlook the severity of bullying choosing to close our eyes we get a harsh reality when someone commits suicide. It forces us to acknowledge the hard truth with open eyes that we have chosen to close for too long.

Children who bully have often seen or experienced family violence. Bullying and teen dating violence are actually linked. There is also a connection between bullying and sexual harassment.

Bullying is a subject I totally take personally. There have been many occasions in which I found myself a victim of this epidemic, because that’s exactly what it is, an epidemic, a silent war, that no one seems to understand or even want to face alone, this issue that have swept under the rug all across this nation for a very long time, for far too long. The buck stops here! While reading through my Sunday morning paper over breakfast, I happened to run across a story that really tugged at my heart strings, and this is not the first story like this I’ve read. A young woman in high school here in my town kills herself because of continual bullying initiated by someone else at school. The question that runs through my mind is, why? There are

Several children with disabilities and without disabilities are being bullied. But, what is very upsetting is that children with disabilities are being bullied more than children without.

Also, all studies found that children with disabilities are two to three times more likely to be victims of bullying than their non-disabled peers (Ervin 5).

Jasmine, a 10 year old girl from North Carolina, decided to hang herself after facing bullying at school. Her parents were shocked to find her like this, and had no idea about the bullying until children in her school reported witnessing several incidents. Jasmine’s story shows that even children as young as her can be mentally harmed due to bullying, so we should put a stop to the behavior before suicide rates go up even higher. I strongly believe that bullies should be held legally responsible for their actions. Bullying falls under a legal category when it becomes intolerable, and someone facing depression is obviously unable to tolerate the bullying. Also, bullies need to learn to take responsibility for their actions, and the victims can

According to www.bullyingstatistics.org, suicide is the third leading cause of death in young people. In addition, a research project in Britain revealed that at least 50% of suicides are a result of bullying. Bystanders could've stopped these deaths. For example, there were 41,149 suicides in 2013, according to www.cdc.gov, that means about 20,500 of those were caused by bullying. Bystanders could have stopped those by reporting the bullying. Now, all of the people that witnessed those 20,500 victims being bullied have to live with the guilt knowing they could've stopped the pain and saved their
