Fear Of Adoletion In The Loser's Club By John Lekich

In “The C Word in the Hallway”, author, Anna Quindlen expresses her pleas to reach out and end the neglect of teen struggles. Bullying, break-ups, isolation, family issues, academics, and more could result as contributing factors to the hardships of teenagers. Unfortunately, “role models” setting the examples, overlook the fatal outcomes of these hardships. The poor example taught is to mask our struggles and toughen through them. This masking method can only be effective for so long before one cracks. In her article regarding the uprising of mental health issues found in teenagers, Anna Quindlen calls to action on parents, educators, and politicians to emphasize the importance of recognizing teenage hardships, so the teenagers can too recognize

It is sad to say but the story of Ryan is a story that has and will happen to many more of our adolescence unless more is done about bullying. Ryan's story happened almost 15 years ago when kids just started to get cell phones and social media accounts. So before then, bullying was mostly done in schools by physically and verbally harming another person. In the year 2017, almost every kid has a cell phone, computer, and several social media accounts. In the age of adolescence, kids are facing many different issues of development. They are trying to figure out who they are and how do they fit into society. It is a very emotional time and kids that are different from other kids their age may be easy targets for bullies. Ryan was a victim of both types of bullying, he was physically bullied and cyberbullying. In this paper, I am going to try and explain how Erikson's theory of group identity vs. alienation. Also, I will try to explain some intervention strategies that may be able to help and prevent bullying in schools.

We’ve all know what it feels like: walking down the halls in middle school or high school while you feel like you’re being watched…analyzed…critiqued. It would almost seem like every person you passed would be silently judging you for what you’re wearing, how you applied your makeup, how you did in the last soccer game, or what they heard you did with Jonny. The passerby’s in the hallway would place you on the high-school-hierarchy-of-coolness scale based on superficial characteristics even before getting to know you. Adolescence is a time of learning and forming an identity but it’s also a time where you are constantly being watched and evaluated by your peers, sometimes even put down by physical or verbal means. Bullying has always been

The novel explores the damaging effects of bullying, peer pressure and the dynamics of group interaction within teenagers in a modern day society.

Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that something is dangerous, that it could cause one harm. For example, when some general from Russia hunts a human on an island in the middle of the ocean, would cause one to experience fear. In the short story “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, we see how Rainsford feels about hunting, what causes him fear, and how he deals with these fears.

Bullying uses someone putting others down in order to emotional better themselves because they feel better about themselves causing pain and distress to someone else. This can be traced back to the novel as Andy feels better about his unfortunate predicament the more he hurts others. This hurting people to heal yourself is what the main theme of this novel stems from in a philosophical viewpoint. The many brushes with philosophy in the novel harmonize with the underlying theme of deception and using others to heal oneself. Conclusively, the main villain and theme within the novel weave together with the many philosophical points and issues with morality in order to create a concise and alluring

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.

Teens do not realize the harm they are causing each other. “1 in 7 Students in Grades K-12 is either a bully or a victim of bullying” (Statistics). Those who are bullied can develop depression and anxiety. These issues, without resolution, can progress into adulthood, or even lead to suicidal thoughts and actions. These teens will have a decrease in extracurricular activities, such as sports, and begin to have lower GPA’s (Stop Bullying). Those who bully can grow up abusing alcohol and other drugs. These teens have a higher dropout rate, and are more likely to fight and be a part of petty crimes such as vandalizing property. Bullies can have lasting effects that follow them into adulthood such as abusive relationship with wife, spouse, and kids (Stop Bullying). “56% of students have personally witnessed some type of bullying at school”

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.

Over three million students are victims of bullying every year. Bullies deal a lot of pain to their victims. There are multiple kinds of bullying and there are also different effects. Between the two stories, “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury and “The Possibility of Evil” by Shirley Jackson bullying is shown in different forms while also having different consequences. In Jackson’s story, the bullying has a much greater impact because it hurts a whole community unlike Bradbury’s story which is targeted to one character.

Adolescence is a period of expanding independence. An increased predisposition for impulsivity and experimentation allows for adolescent exploration and an eventual gain in autonomy, while the over vigilance to threats increases their likelihood for survival as independent individuals (Casey, 2004). While this may be true, these cognitive changes do not appear to be adaptive in regards to bullying, as they render adolescents much more vulnerable to bullying’s negative consequences in comparison to adults. Adolescents have a higher chance of attributing the bullying to their own characteristics and self-worth and, perhaps mistakenly, perceiving the bullying as a potential threat to their lives. These factors leave adolescents distinctly more prone to developing internalizing and externalizing symptoms, such as depressive or aggressive behaviors, as a result of bullying (Idsoe,

Students with the help of guardians such as parents/teachers are able to learn and master self-control, however many who are not encouraged or loved can have hard times and are more likely to have thoughts of suicide or ending his/her life. It has been proven that all the people on earth somehow want to be liked or loved, and as a child, they should be loved more than anything, but if the connection is not completed, the child will be thinking about their life as being born to be hated, which can be very hurtful. There has been times where hatred leads to bullying, and that being too personal for the child to handle (Kang 1). In the world, many students are being picked on, and being hated by many others, for the reasons of being different, or just simply for “bullies” to look cool, which does not make them look cool, but very abusive. Oppressors can be stopped, however there has been many cases of suicide or having great depression because of endless bullying and getting picked on by many haters. Critics argue

Adolescence is a difficult stage in life because it is a time for many when social status is seen as very important and self-esteem can be fragile. One’s social status can directly affect one’s self esteem and overall happiness. Unfortunately, many of those who possess a higher social status in middle and high school use it against those who are deemed socially inferior to them, whether that is due to race, attractiveness, intelligence or sexuality. In other words, the adolescents at the bottom of the social pyramid are often subjected to bullying and harassment from their socially “superior” classmates. Bullying

Fear is something every single human being has at some point in their life. When you are in dangerous, threatening, or scary situations, fear is what your body will feel. It is the ability to identify danger and make a choice to either confront that fear or flee from the situation like for example, if you were to break a vase, you would hide from your parents. That choice is completely up to the victim, and depends on the person. Although fear is handled differently by every person, it is a common emotion that everyone feels. Some seek out to overcome their fears, and seek the feeling of adrenaline they get from overcoming. Others flee the situation and don't think twice about trying to overcome their fear. In worst case scenarios people freeze

Back in the past many have focused on drug and alcohol use in school students along with students carrying weapons to schools, and it seemed as if no one was recognizing the significance of school bullying. For victims of bullying, they go to school every day facing harassment, taunting, and humiliation. Kids today come home and kill themselves or never want to go back to school because of BULLYING. “Studies show that 25-35% of teens encountered some type of bullying in their lifetime (Nansel et al,).” Bullying is a form of violent behavior that happens not only in the schools but everywhere. Kids everywhere have been exposed to bullying in school for generations and ages . Although bullying has always been a factor the consequences for
