Bullying: Video Analysis

Bullying is still in fact a major source of predicaments among many children, adolescents, and young adults; in the cases of schools in particular, “[o]ne out of every four students (22%) report[ed] being bullied during the school year” (US Department of Education, National Center for Educational Statistics, 2015, ¶ 1). Concomitantly, one must accept the fact that bullying is a constant problem that requires more solicitude and awareness from the general public in order to further aid in its prevention. Nonetheless, studies conducted by Hawkins, Pepler, and Craig (2001) have also revealed that more than half of

Issue: If you or your child have ever been a victim of bullying then you know how horrible one can feel. There are many emotions and fears associated with bullying, and no one should have to be subjected to it. Bullying can have a lasting effect not only in one’s present life but their future as well. Bullying is very prominent in schools today, and there has been an increase in school shootings, which is the extreme reaction to being bullied. Children need to consider each other’s feelings before they decide to bully or pick on each other.

Over the past couple of decades, schools all across the nation have noticed a significant rise in the amount of bullying taking place among their students. “Two decades ago, bullying was often seen as a rare occurrence, where small groups of parents sought protection for their children with the school district”, stated by Vikki Healy Ortiz, writer of the article “New inclusive approach helps schools fight bullying”. However, the same cannot be said for our society in today’s world. Our modern world has advanced tremendously over the past few decades and there are even more opportunities for children to be susceptible to feeling isolated from others because they are simply unique. In today’s society, children have the potential to bully each other outside of the classroom as well.

Most studies on bullying focus on the negative aspects, pointing to the extreme cases such as when the victim commits suicide. However, there is another side of the story (lead-in statements). Bullying can be beneficial, more so for the victim than the perpetrator (thesis). The perpetrator is playing into a predictable pattern of using power to seek social status and psychological control, or perhaps as a result of mental illness as Wente points out. Focusing too much on the reasons why bullies do what they do, researchers, parents, teachers, and children have forgotten to focus on the most important issue: how to turn bullying into a positive (stance). Bullying is not going away; it is something that adults do to each other and it seems to be built into social patterns and modes of communication universally. "The anti-bullying crusade has been around for years. Yet, kids still torment kids as much as ever even more than ever, now that they can do it around the clock in cyberspace," (Wente). Human nature is mean. By viewing bullying from the perspective of self-empowerment, it becomes possible to mitigate the many problems that bullying causes without resorting to useless interventions such as legislation, policies that are overly tough on bullies, or on assumptions about the victims. Bullying can be an opportunity for growth and maturity, for positive psychosocial development, and for self-esteem building (essay map).

This video was not only beautiful and moving, but it was also very emotional. I am one of the lucky one’s when I say that I have never been bullied. I have never been called ugly, fat or stupid. However, growing up I always had the fear that I would be bullied, so I constantly did things that other people wanted me to do, instead of doing things I wanted to do. I think this video shows a very strong point that not many people think of. Most people believe that when you are a child and you get bullied, you forget about it within a year. That is completely and utterly wrong. The cruel words stay with you forever, and you will always believe that what they once said is true. If someone calls you ugly in first grade you will believe you are ugly

The bullying video we viewed in class difficult to watch. I could see the pain of both Jamie and his family. It made me cry to see the injustice and abuse he suffered through. Three things in life that disgust and sadden me are the abuse of people, animals, and our planet. I have absolutely no tolerance for the act of bullying or the early behaviors that lead up to it. That is one of the reasons I can’t wait to be a teacher! I consider it part of my role in life to be a good model and help others to see their personal biases. I want kids to have the skills to identify and speak out against situations where someone is being oppressed, discriminated or abused. Teaching healthy social skills and respectful communication will always be a part of my classroom and my curriculum.

This literature takes a closer look at bullying in schools. Olwesus (2013) states “the field of bullying research is to some extent plagued by problems, disagreements, and unresolved issues” (p.752).
