Bullying: The Story Of Jawwana

In John Cloud’s essay “The Myths of Bullying” he talks about the reaction that schools and states have to bullying.

He explains that most of the systems used now are not effective and are making school’s waste money. He then provides his own opinion on how bullying should be approached in school systems. Cloud’s essay not only tries to persuade the reader to his cause but he uses literary elements such as bathos and logos to appeal to and draw in the reader.

Maria was scared of Jawanna and did everything she told her to do. For an example when Jawanna wanted Maria’s brownie she gave it to her, even though Maria wanted it for herself. Jawanna had basically owned Maria. Once when Maria only had one pencil she gave it to Jawanna just because she asked for it. Jessica, Maria’s friend tried to convince Maria to stick up for herself or the bullying would never stop. After Maria thought about it and a talk with Ms. McMillan she said enough is enough.

I also think that Maria stood up for herself because she was so tired of the fear to go to school with the thought

“Bullying occurs in school playgrounds every 7 minutes and in classrooms every 25 minutes” (Bullying Myths 2009). This shows that bullying is no small issue, and it is not going to decrease without community support. When the people who lead our country, say horrible things about its people it is hard to understand that bullying is wrong. How can adults, parents, or teachers expected young people to understand that bullying is wrong when they see the most powerful people in America doing it on CNN. Even though, politicians are saying hurtful things to the American public that confuses America's youth, there are resources working to spread awareness.

Now I understand how being bullied can be a very traumatic experience. Children can be very cruel in the things they say and do.  While watching the video above it really saddened me that Nadia felt that the only way to deal with being bullied was to receive plastic surgery.
