Cyber Bullying Among Our Children

With bullying, boys are highly to be attacked by a bully with physical abuse and girls are likely to be bullied indirectly. Statistics show that 15 to 25 children commit suicide. There have been many young people wo have committed suicide due to being bullied. These young peoples names are Ryan Halligen, Phoebe Prince, Dawn Marie Wesley, Kelly Yeomans, Jessica Haffer, Hamel Natosh, April Himes, Cherice Moralez, and Rebecca Ann Sedwick.

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.

Bullying causes suicide. There is a firm link between suicide and bullying, as stated by many reports on bullying-related suicides in the United States and many other countries. “Children who are bullied as well as those who bully others are more likely to contemplate or attempt suicide” (Strickland 1). The National Center for Educational Statistics, in 2009, said nearly 1 in 3 students between the ages of 12 and 18 reported being bullied in school. “Bullycide,” is a term that is increasingly finding its way into the educational lexicon as a result of several teen suicides that were attributed at least in part to bullying.

Bullying is the cause of many suicides and deaths (Home n. pag). In McCormack’s article, he explains how many students are bullied each day and harassed to the point where they question their own self-esteem. They are no longer

children (between 3rd and 12th grade), 4.5 percent of kids had been cyberbullied compared to 17.6 percent from that same sample who had experienced traditional bullying. An even more interesting statistic from that study is that only 2.8 percent of kids had bullied

Bullying has been happening for generation after generation. Today’s society made possible to bully people without being face to face. This type of bullying is called cyber-bullying. Teenagers uses theirs electronics advices as weapons to attack other people with hurtful things though the use of text messaging or social networking websites. Cyber-bullying can “damage a person emotionally” (Media). It can also make them have low self-esteem. In our society today, cyber-bullying is a new type of problem that many teenagers have to face.

Cyber-bullying has become a huge issue recently. It is despairing to turn on the news

One of the statistics according to bullying and suicide it states that bully victims are between 2 to 9 times more likely to consider suicide than non-victims, according to studies by Yale University. In my opinion seeing someone taking their own live because of someone bullying them is dreadful. I have two friends whose names were Sophia and Isabella. In my junior high school Sophia and Isabella were both the target for getting bullied by a group of freshman students at the same school. One sunny afternoon at our school as we were outside having our lunch we saw a group of students walking up towards us to have a normal

Furthermore, bullies are the real cause of suicide. According to the Amanda Todd story she says a target will think about giving up on life never think that those are the worst thing you could say. Bullies will have a trauma from thinking about why they did that or how could they have prevented this. Stuff like that can mess a kid up. They already have been through enough. So just don’t bully and you will be ok.

Studies show that adolescents are the most prevalent group of people affected by cyber-bullying, they have also shown mixed findings about the correlation between age and cyberbullying. (Carter, Wilson, 2015.) Wang, Lannotti, and Nansel (2009) “found no differences in the cyberbullying among 9th and 8th graders, and fewer self-reports of cyberbullying among 9th and 10th graders.” Williams and Guerra (2007) found that “engagement in internet bullying increased from 5th to 8th grade, and then declined slightly among high school

Bullies usually make people commit suicide. I’vc heard about bullying making people commit suicide. I’ve also heard of a story of a girl named Amanda Todd that commited suicide because of bullying. The bully should have been arrested and/or fined because the basically killed someone. For example, there could be someone out there that be insecure about themselves right now and bullying is the cause of it. They probably were really confident about themselves,

For our research report I focused on cyber bullying and its effects on middle schoolers. While bullying has been around for many generations, new technology has created new types of bullying that has negative effects on middle schoolers mental health and behavior. Cyber bullying has many forms and is defined as using the internet, text messages, apps, and social networking sites to inflict harm on another. Many argue this form of bullying is worse than traditional bullying and is more stressful. Bullying is now not only occurring in school or on the playground but is coming home with students and following them throughout the day. Cyber bullying is hard to avoid and many times children may not know who their bully is. Cyber bullying has been

A study by the Cyberbullying Research Center surveyed 457 students between the ages of 11 and 15. Approximately 43% of the students reported experiencing cyber bullying during their lifetime, and most of this bullying is done anonymously. (http://cyberbullying.org/2015-data)

First and foremost, Bullies are the blame for suicide. Bullies can push victims to their limits, causing depression and anxiety for them. According to www.cdc.gov, they can also make victims

Bullies might not always be aware of the severe consequences of their actions but this cannot condone the sorrow and pain they inflict upon the victims. Bullying often evokes psychosomatic illnesses. Victims complain about headache, heart diseases, dizziness, nausea and sleep disorder. Bullying becomes the dominating part of their whole life; they cannot do anything without thinking of the horror of the next workday. Weakened as they are, victims become an even easier target for people who want to harm them. It is a vicious circle, hard to break out for those terrorized by bullying. Many of them think of committing suicide as the last way out.
