How Does June Struggled With Bullying

There are many young aged kids and teens who experience bullying, some of them bullied for their appearance, some for their popularity status, and others surprisingly let themselves. However, it’s pretty doubtful anyone really knows why a kid would let themselves be bullied. Author Gary Soto developed a short story called “Fear” designating bullying with no specific theme but made to feel the anxiety or agitation of its presence of danger, pain, and evil. This author's breathtaking story is about a young 5th-grade boy named Frankie T. (F.T) with many things gone wrong in his family/life. Those things turned him to be a bully and later someone who would drown their own brother in a pool, and beat a woman with a lengthened pipe in a burglary years later. Frankie T. is an interesting character that can be better understood by examining his Character Traits, Contributing Factors, and his Motivations.

“Tuesday of the Other June” is a short storynovel written by Norma Fox Mazer. The main character, June T, is a modest girl who only lives with her mother in a small town. But one day, she meets a bully named June M who bullies her excusing that she has the same name. This story clearly tells about bullying, and that the author believes that “You should stand up for yourself to stop bullying.”

In “Phoebe Prince: Should School Bullying Be a Crime?”, an article written by journalist Jessica Bennet addresses school bullying, the outcomes and the consequences that bullies deserve or not. Above all, this article aims the spotlight on bullying, a 15-year-old who took her own life due to harassment, torment, rumors, physical threats all leading it to being bullied by well-known good students. 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

Her Mother, Gulnara, is an on call maid and her Dad, Aibek, is a taxi driver. Maya also has a little brother named Nurzhan.

Although June goes through many changes throughout the story, she was someone else before all of the events happened. At the same time of the change June went through, she still was a different person before the events, as on page 64 the text says, “He goes on, reassuring the people of our military strength and promising later announcements about changes he wants to implement-who knows how much of it is true” (Lu). Uncertainty is the word I would use to describe June all throughout the story, as this is a trait that she always has had. June was used to being so loyal to the Republic, but when she started working for them, she became uncertain of who they really were. June was always wondering why things were how they were, as her whole life she has been lied to, and tricked on many occasions. At the same time she has always had a certain fire, or trigger of anger in her. As she is being interrogated on page 106 the text states, “I shove the table aside and lunge for him, even though I know I’m chained down to my chair. Thomas jumps back. I stumble against my restraints, fall to my knees, and then grab for his leg. For anything. You’re sick. You’re so twisted. I want to kill him. I’ve never wanted anything this much in my entire life”

Next, June is helped by Day to realize that the Republic isn’t always the utopian society they conceive themselves as. Day does this by demonstrating to June how the Republic treated him after he “failed” the trials, which are basically the final test of schooling to know if you pass in life. Anyone who doesn’t pass just seems to disappear. But in reality, they are put in a cellar and killed off, except for Day, who escaped. But when June comes across hidden files of Day’s trials, she sees that Day never failed, in fact he did just as well as she

. I am interested in this topic because I feel like I can relate to the main character, Jodee and what she goes through. 3.

She thought her parents would agree that she should go because they always supported her higher education. She hoped that she would get new friends, get to go to football games, and maybe even join the cheer leading squad. Little did she know, this decision would change her life forever. It took two weeks, but Carlotta eventually was able to enter the school. Upon arrival at the school a Guardsman had to protect her from the mob. The bullies shouted insults at her daily concerning her being black which made her feel demeaned, but no matter how terrible she felt she would not let them see her cry. To make it easier she made a game out of their insults. All of this made her angry, angry that she had to be protected and that she had to endure this torture in a hallowed place of learning. She had wished they would stop trying to force her out of Central. Contrary to her wishes, she was still being bullied such as spitting which she found disgusting and infuriating. At times she sat down in glue or spit to find several of her classmates doubled over in laughter. This was humiliating for Carlotta, she learned to look at her seat and swipe it before sitting. Some days Carlotta was so mentally exhausted that she couldn't guard her heart. On these days her bully's insults smashed her heart. Instead of not responding to her abusers she chose to face them and retaliate in the same way she was

When I was in the 1st through 3rd grade I was bullied all the time. But I stayed strong and just ceped moving. I put up with it, but stayed focused. The odyssey is a good example of struggle.

Whereas Connie is considered beautiful, June is seen as “plain and chunky” (496).

On several occasions, a friend’s father has left them off at the mall, however once they arrive, Connie travels across the street “ to a drive-in restaurant where older kids hung out” ( 497). It is here that she comes into contact with her future assailant, but at the time she ignored his attention.

Day talks as though he does not believe in himself, and that no one has need for him or that it would be better for people to think he doesn’t exist (Lu, 1). However, Day trusts people like Tess and June immediately without doubt. This set of behaviors is a result of his childhood. On the other hand, June lived a sheltered childhood, only surrounded by those of equal stature to her. She is the Republic’s prodigy, consistently being rewarded for her accomplishments. Due to this, June is naive about the surrounding world, back talking the poor, believing the Republic to be almighty and good. June talks to herself, going through the thoughts that the people around her could give her the plague, and how they barely passed the Trial, but then she reminds herself that Metias had always said to not judge the unfortunate. (Lu 97). This is the conflict between the two sides of her trust, where she must chose between what she is taught and compassion that she was shown by the most important person in her life up to this point. Day was always taught to love, but was turned away from society, meanwhile June has conflict, but was chosen by society to be put on a pedestal.These behaviors one exhibits when communicating with another person and the psychology behind why they behave that

First, name calling is a form of bullying seen throughout the novel.

In Rowell’s novel, she writes a scene where Eleanor is being bullied at school in gym, “She had everybody else in their gym class calling Eleanor Bozo, but Tina had already moved on to Raghead and Bloody Mary. [Tina the one bullying Eleanor then goes on to explain why those names fit her] ‘Cuz it looks like your whole head is on the rag,’ she’d explained today

The final bell rang, and students erupted in a joyful chorus of cheers as summer break began. I sang a melancholy dirge of self-pity. My bitterness increased as I waited for my mother to pick me up. She came at last and I jumped up, anxious to leave forever. Again, Mrs. Thomas thwarted my plans; she came outside to talk to my mother, undoubtedly about my ignominious fate. As they murmured, I viewed the co-conspirators with hostile eyes. I'm a victim, the final sigh of my fifth grade year whispered wearily.
