In any case, the process of being bullied has never been taken into consideration nor importance in the school system or by society in general. “It’s even gotten better over the past decade says Dan Olweus, a leading bullying expert”. However, bullying just does not disappear, it is still an issue that humankind does not have any diligence to the cause
When in the course of human events, it becomes imperative to shake off the bands of repeated name-callings and falsely given identities which have been connected for so long, and to assume that the playing field is once again even, giving your undivided attention and respect to the opinions of the unheard and abandoned as they state why they have decided to stand up against the bullying and how they plan to write how to isolate themselves from bullying altogether.
“...1 in 3 teens [have] admitted to being a victim of cyberbullying…” says child psychologist, Eden Foster, in reference to a survey, talked about in “The Dangers of Cyberbullying” by Brett Warke, that shows the absolute significance of cyberbullying in this day and age. Cyberbullying on social media is everywhere and it’s about time that someone took some action against it, and, in this case, taking legal action via prosecution may be the best way to go. Let it not be said that cyberbullying and bullying are different, infact, the only difference is the platform they take place on. Cyberbullying is done with the same malicious intent as face-to-face bullying is done with: the intent to hurt a victim in a psychological or physical way- showing
I believe that if a student is cyberbullied, there should be a punishment for it. If a child has been cyberbullied and has told a teacher about their situation, the student that cyberbullied should get a punishment. The punishment should be a suspension from school. It should be a suspension because if it was a detention or just a demerit, the student might not learn their lesson or feel bad about what they did. If the student continues to cyberbully, they should be suspended again but for a longer time. The student should also see a counselor or someone to help the students work out their problem.
“Bullying can threaten students’ physical and emotional safety at school and can negatively impact their ability to learn. The best way to address bullying is to stop it before it starts”( Prevention at school). My critical literacy book is about bullying at school.

In Chapters One and Two of The Bully, the Bullied, and the Bystanders, internationally recognized speaker and author, Barbara Coloroso (2010), draws readers into the complex and tragic world of the bully, the bullied, and the bystander.

Moreover she describes the all too common scenes or patterns that occur in bullying situation and how each “character” develops or responds (pp.5-8). Chapter Two then strictly focuses on the bully.

Part A Summary The article “Why Our Approach to Bullying Is Bad for Kids” written by Susan Porter states the different consequences that may occur due to our culture’s views on bullying. The article suggests that by labeling children as “bullies” adults are not seeing a child’s full potential thus preventing them from reaching their maximum growth. Porter (2013) finds that throughout the years our society’s definition of ‘bullying’ has been molded into something much more than it was a couple decades ago, making it appear as though children who are behaving normally are actually the “bullies”.

Bullying has always been recognized as a normal part of growing up; therefore, most people in the past have not given bullying much thought. Bullying is often thought as “kids being kids” or a “rite of passage,” but it is much more of a problem than just being a kid (Maughan 2). According to the U.S. Deparment of Education, over 13 million students are bullied each year, and over 160,000 students avoid going to school because they are bullied (Maughan 1). Students who feel so threatened by bullying that they do not want to go to school demonstrates just how much bullying can change a child’s life. Bullying is a serious problem, and a child’s life could be dramatically changed by being terrorized at school. (Maughan, 1-2)
