Girls Being Mean to Other Girls

According to dosomething.org, “Over 3.2 million students are victims of bullying each year.” Everyone can be a bully at one point and they may not even know that they are bullying someone. Which means that our actions can speak louder than our words, and sometimes when our filthy actions and crude words come together it’s not always a happy ending. In the end, someone’s going to be hurt.

When they are in a group of girls, no single girl can be blamed for the incident. In this case, girls will get others to gang up on someone. The victim fears losing, or does lose many friends, making this the ultimate form of relational aggression. This often happens in the so-called "popular clique." These girls will rise up to take down one of the own members. The worst part about cliques taking down their own members, is that part of the time, the girls are doing it for fun. The girls get bored, and they decide to bully the girl who they don't like that much. The girls bullied this way don't know why they are being bullied, so they blame themselves and often get depressed. Girls gang up on each other way too often, leaving many girls upset with themselves and

Bullies should be help understand their actions. For example, bullies should need to take classes. According to the article called “My Story of being pick on. From bullies to success in life” it says, “In middle school I thought I had caught a break from it all, I had a few friends.Or so I thought, they pretended to be friends In middle school I thought I had caught a break from it all, I had a few friends.Or so I thought, they pretended to be friends ,” (Shawn C.,). This shows that the girls friends gave her a birthday card to make her feel bad so she can commit suicide ,that means that people don’t care about her fake friends gave her. According to the Kid get picked in every grade.article called “Rewarding good behavior as a way to stop

According to this article “ kids who were popular, but not the most popular, were most likely to bully others.” or “the top two percent perhaps because they no longer feel the need to put others down to improve their own status.” Basically this quote means that most of the popular kids are live under pressure of popularity. This is important is because we all have our own stereotype even without noticing. We might asking how is thinking teenage bullies are bad is stereotype? Well, as long as people read the question above you might seem where are the problems. Nevertheless, people all young once, and we all used to be a stupid. Sometimes people judging others without thinking, and that’s why people can easily make a mistake. On the top of that, teenage bullies are the same. They

They taunt her with comments like “You’re flat as a board. Another school counselor and author, describes a girl who was terrorized by a clique — girls she thought were her friends. They shoved crumbled-up peanut butter cookies in her face and asked her to smell them, knowing she was allergic to peanut products. When her mother complained to the school, the administrator’s reaction was “Oh, they probably didn’t know she was allergic.” that is some pretty mean stuff, so as I was saying girls take that extra step,that is so uncalled for, and most

Mean Girls, ironically my favorite movie, in my opinion clearly and comically depicts the misconceptions and stereotypes that are perceived by society of early adolescents. Stanley Hall characterized adolescence as a time of “storm and stress” and this negative image has stuck with society. As we’ve learned and discussed in class, Sigmund Freud took the concept of storm and stress a step further and developed his stages of psychosocial development but saw adolescence as a time when major conflicts were already solved. . Anna Freud continued researching the same concepts as her father, and viewed the absence of storm and stress as a sign of a serious psychological problem in adolescent development. The stereotype of adolescence as a stage of “storm and stress”, or as labeled in society today, a time of moody, acne-laden teenagers, teenagers with raging hormones, or a time of rebellion and conflict with parents, some even considering teenagers a threat to adult tranquility. That being said, those are only a couple of the many stereotypes that are depicted in the film Mean Girls.

In the chosen segment of the film “Mean Girls” (Michaels, Shimkin & Fey, 2004), interpersonal communication is negatively broken down due to the barriers caused by the characters. The primary character Cady has recently moved to Chicago to attend High School, she makes friends with Regina, Gretchen and Karen who are the plastics, they’re called this because of their mean and judgemental behaviour. Regina is the groups leader, she quickly becomes controlling over Cady’s emotions and decisions, she phones Cady to talk about her feelings about Aaron which is Regina’s ex-boyfriend. Another reason she phoned to talk to Cady is to talk abut Gretchen, which she isn’t aware that Gretchen is also eavesdropping on the other line, Regina attacks and manipulates Cady to gossip and create rumours about Gretchen. This movie contained a lot of ineffective interpersonal communication which resulted in conflicts, as shown through this segment of the video clip.

This article shows some cruel comments that took me back to the time i was bullied. The article made me realized that i wasnt alone. there are lots of people out in the world who are being bullied and can't do anything about it. This kid name Alex Libby from the documentary “Bully,” has been having a nightmare for a long time. He’s only 12 years old but has been bullied at Sioux City, Iowa for being called “fish face.” Alex Libby was premature and was diagnosed with a mid version of autism and attention deficit disorder. The cause of this caused him to have difficulty and socialize with others and in the class. Jackie (Alex’s mom), believed that his premature birth was the reason why he was bullied. In the documentary, it showed that on his first day of seventh grade, Alex was already receiving death threats from the students that was waiting for the bus, “people think that I’m different. I’m not normal. Most kids don’t want to be around me. I feel like I belong somewhere else”. This quote shows that, no matter what you like you will still be bullied. With the mean comments being made, it can lead the victim (person being bullied) to depression which can lead to suicide later

Once again, making someone else feel small so that the other can feel big is not uncommon in today’s society. “Society has more subtle ways to kill a man” and bullying is one of

Victims as well as the bullies can be of both genders “(Girls overall reported higher rates of bullying than boys (31.4 percent for girls compared to 24.5 percent for boys)”(Indicators); males tend to lean more towards physical abuse and property damage, while female bullies tend to gossip, anem call, etc-i.e emotional abuse. Aside from age and gender, race plays a role in the bullying cycle; minority children have a tendency to get targeted more often, for the simple fact that they are different from the instigator. Bullying occurs in all communities and cultures; however, schools are a common ground for many types of abuse. Steps to Respect and Positive Action focus on educational environments in effort to create a sense of safety and wellbeing for students, teachers, and parents. Bullying is a significant problem. “The most recent data in the U.S. covers the 2010–2011 school year during which 27.8 percent of students ages 12–18 reported having been bullied at school. Statistics vary based on multiple variables such as if students are reporting the bullying and how truthful the bullies are, along with

Peers get bullied everyday. Being bullied can make teens lose self-confidence. It could lead to depression and it could cause many to kill themselves. The teens being bullied are being abused verbally, physically, and sexually. These teenagers and up feeling helpless and worthless. Thinking that they can't do anything productive all because of their peers bullying them. Hearing things over and over again, you will eventually start to believe what you are being told. All the while these teenagers are receiving negative after negative and they end up believing the bullies and start to see

I will start by describing the biological dimensions of bullying victims, perpetrators, and bully-victims. Carpanzo et al. (2011) asserts that there are gender differences in bullying. While both biological genders participate equally in relational and physical aggression according to the study, physical aggression is more common in boys but relational aggression is equal between the sexes. Bullying was more stable across a two-year period and weighed more heavily on individual personality characteristics with the males in the study and girls were more influenced into participating in bullying behavior by social norms. A study by Fu et al. (2012) examined bullying victimization in twelfth graders between 1989 and 2009. The study aimed to find repetitive risk factors concerning socioeconomic status and behavioral characteristics. The result of the study

Also people judge them without knowing what is going on. Everything that bullies do is a cause of their mental issues. Authors, Dorothy Espelage and Melissa K. Holt mention in their articles “Journal of Emotional Abuse” how boys are more often bullied than girls.Also it talks how older students take part in bullying more often than the youger ones because they have more available resources to do that.. Younger kids do not know how to use facebook and other media that is available to them.In adition the studies from their articles prove that people that are bullies tend to hang out with other people that are bullies, and that is how bullies are geting stronger and abuse more and more innocent students,kids and even elders.

Bullying can be hard to define, because research has shown that it comes in many forms which makes it difficult to find one set of characteristics that will describe a bully. Conclusively, studies have defined bullying as a set of repeated aggressive behavior that is intended to harm someone, which usually involves an imbalance of power between the victim and the perpetrator (Morgan, 2012, p. 174). Studies have shown that there are two distinct types of bullying, which is a direct form of verbal and physical aggression, and indirect, which often results in name calling, rumors and exclusion (Aluedse, 2006, p. 38). This form of peer victimization can have devastating effects on a child 's academic work and their physical and psychological well being (Limber, 2003, p. 23). In terms of gender, boys are more likely to be involved in physical bullying (direct) as for girls are more likely to be involved in indirect bullying (Wang et al, 2009, p. 371). Previous research indicates, that parents and friends are two important factors of social interaction associated with bullying and victimization among adolescences. Bullying is quite common among middle school children, because it is during this time that children go through puberty and hormonal changes. During this time students are looking to be accepted and fit into a specific group; however, when there is a lack of acceptance and esteem due to victimization, this can cause children to isolate themselves from those around them

The most common type of bullying among females is verbal bullying (“Verbal Bullying” 1). This type of psychological bullying uses derogatory terms to demean, or lower, the victim in the eyes of others to show that the bully has power over them (“Verbal Bullying” 1). This causes the person to have low self-esteem and develop depression in that victim (“Verbal Bullying” 1). Verbal bullying is the most psychologically damaging and lasts well into adulthood (Aluede et al. 6). “[Words] have a power all their own, and the realities of verbal bullying can have very physical consequences, even if the aggressor never lays a finger on the victim” (“Verbal Bullying” 1) In more severe cases of verbal bullying, or any bullying for that matter, can lead to drugs because the victim wants to escape his or her tortured life, in more extreme cases if the person’s depression worsens it could lead to suicide (“Verbal Bullying” 1).
