After I submitted a write up about Evan, I was called to the office and Mrs. Thiam wanted to speak to me. She said, “I read your write up. Mrs. Pereira, you have to be more sympathetic to those kids. They are coming from the broken families. Everyday is a new day, and you have to start new.” Mrs. Thiam continued, “So, how do you and Ms. Vigliotti (who is Evan’s classroom teacher) work together with the perspective of PBIS?” I said, “I speak to her about her students every time when she has music.” Mrs. Thiam went, “No, that’s not what I’m talking about.” However, she did not give me any explanation about how to work together with the perspective of PBIS, and changed a subject. “I called Evan’s mother and left the message to suspend him for

Bullying is defined as the prolonged malicious act of harming peers by abusing their own--or an existing imbalance of--power, and has become one of the most common sources of trauma among adolescents. One report shows that one of three children were victims of bullying during some point in their life, and that 10-14% of all adolescents were victims of chronic bullying for at least six months prior to participating in the survey. Children who were victims of bullying are also found to be at a higher risk of diagnoses for anxiety disorders and depression during young and middle adulthood. These victims are reported to be more likely to have lower levels of general/physical health, and lower educational acquirements than young and middle-aged adults who were not bullied (Wolke & Lereya, 2015). Because bullying is such a prominent problem, citizens, policymakers, and social scientists alike, should feel or have some social and moral obligation to address, and hopefully avert bullying. The state of bullying, and how it is enacted, is constantly changing and adapting to social frameworks. Because bullies can adapt to social changes and regulations, we, as a society, should be equally adaptive in how we perceive, address, prevent, and punish bullying.

Lola, and my daughter, Lillian, both attend Union Elementary School and have become good friends. One of our latest visits together was the weekend before Halloween, where we took our children to the Fall Fest at the Myrtle Beach Park. Frank, was very caring and attentive to his children’s needs. Frankie Jr was nervous to have his face painted, and to make his son feel more comfortable, Frank offered to have his face painted as well. He cheered for his children while they played games. Even if they did not win, he was supportive and told them he was proud of them for trying their best. While at the festival my daughter, Lillian, fell and slightly scraped her knee. As her father, I told her to shake it off, but Frank was adamant that we find a Band-Aid and searched the park until he found one. Spending time with Frank and his children has shown me that he is a very nurturing and involved

On July 14th at 9:50 am, Jayden was working on an activity sheet about penguins. Jayden’s summer project was to gather facts about different penguins. Each child was given an iPad to research information about their topic to answer the questions. Jayden worked in an appropriate manner with his paraprofessional. Once Jayden was finished with his research project, he was allowed to play on the iPad. Jayden and his paraprofessional played air hockey. Jayden cheated most of the time, but the paraprofessional did not make a big deal about the situation. At times, Jayden started to get a little rowdy becoming very disruptive to the class. The paraprofessional reminded Jayden that students are still working. She also explained that the iPad would be removed if he did not lower his voice. Jayden complied and simmered down.

Towards the fall of her 5th-grade year, Abby interrupted our tutoring session with the urgency of needing to talk to me regarding something rather important. Generally speaking, Abby’s home life was not particularly ideal for her parents either fighting, working, or busy dealing with her older brother who often found himself in legal trouble. Based off previous knowledge, I did not believe it was anything out of the ordinary from what she had talked to me about before. In detail, Abby began to tell me how she had been molested at their church by an older boy who was at least five years older than her. With previous experience dealing with various friends who had molestation stories that they had confessed to me throughout my youth, I did my best to console her

I know what it feels like when you’ve done something wrong, and knew you were going to get in trouble. Everybody is talking about you, mostly in a bad way, everybody is looking at you and judging you. This is not the way school should be. If I were in his shoes, I’d feel absolutely horrible. If I go back and think, he shouldn’t have even sent it, but that doesn’t mean I should have forwarded it.

Fear of and for Shane overwhelmed me; he needed more help than a high school kid could give him. Once again, with sorrow, I was compelled to act for fear of what the possible results of inaction might be. I had no choice but to inform the school counselor. Subsequently, Shane was removed from school; I do not know where he is now, but I was assured he would get the help he deserved. An undeniable pang permeates my chest when I think of the undoing of this young, bright
