It's Time To Stop Bullying In America

It is important to define the term bullying accurately because that term alone can be adversarial. With that being said it can mean intimidation, aggression, hostile behaviors, and pestering the weak. Bullying takes place in schools, work, and in your own home. It can pretty much happen anywhere. Bullying in my terms is anything that can make a person feel weak minded, and has to submit.

Despite the anti-bullying campaign that’s been established in every school across America, bullying still happens. For a lot of students, school is an unsafe, uncomfortable environment. Bullying happens in many different forms and sometimes it’s hard to recognize.

Bullying is a problem is schools that may cause many students to feel unsafe school. Due to the recent school shooting in Littleton Colorado and in Santana High School in Santee, California.

The bullies in schools never think they will get severely punished, so they don’t stop. They think that they won’t be caught and that bullying isn’t a huge deal, but it is. Bullying causes students to not go to school, to feel alone, and to leave their school feeling worthless. If the bully were to be suspended, he/she would learn quickly that what they are doing is wrong in so many ways. They will realize that bullying can be the reason they don’t get into their dream school or do something they love. On the other hand, victims of bullying don’t come forward and voice that the have been taunted, teased, and tormented because they don’t think the school will help them. 67 percent of students feel that their school doesn’t hear about their bullying and doesn’t do anything that will prevent it (Soard).

Bullying has become a major issue in the United States and around the world. What brought the attention to people about bullying is the number of suicides that are committed by adolescents and the stories they share online or live television. Bullying is categorized to be direct verbal, direct physical, and indirect forms. Not every person has an idea how terrible bullying can be and how harmful it is to the victim. Bullying has driven students to commit actions they have never done before such as cutting themselves, suicidal thoughts, health disorders, and bad behavior. Bullying must be taken seriously, because it results in negative effects on its victims and may drive students to commit horrific actions. Lawmakers should draft anti-bullying legislation, students should stand up for one another, and society should work out what can be done to combat this problem.

Bullying has been a major issue/concern for kids not only in America, but worldwide. Approximately 9% of all suicide deaths are committed by children that have been/are being bullied. Unfortunately, 1 out of 7 children in the U.S.A are bullies or are being bullied. The whole world needs to take a stand, and stop bullying. Everyone can do at least something to stop bullying.

Bullying has become a major topic of discussion within the education field in our country. The number of national public service announcements that center around controlling/stopping bullying has undoubtedly been heightened in the United States. Now more than ever, United States citizens are witnessing a constant influx of news stories developing around the problems that associate with bullying.

All over schools in America, bullying is a big N-O, but why not say yes to bullying? Bullying has been a problem for decades, it helps teachers, students and in the classroom. It isn't only beneficial for the bully himself with the “self-gratification” but it also helps the victim. There isn’t only a dark side to bullying, as the teachers and parents of America like to shine on the practice of bullying. There is a substantial amount of reasons why teachers, parents, and society itself should say yes to bullying.

In schools, there are a lot of kids who are bullied for several reasons. Some are bullied for how they dress, others because they don’t have friends, and some just because it helps make the bully feel better about themselves. Social class has a lot to do with bullying, whether you are rich or poor. One social injustice that humans are involved in is bullying people who are poor and can’t afford to get what “the cool kids have.” This problem arises most commonly when poor families live in rich neighborhoods and the kids go to the same school.

Man! Did you know that according to Source 2, “an estimated 1 in 5 students in the U.S. is either bullied or a bully?” I find these statistics mortifying.

I believe that kids might be bullied for many reasons. According to Source 2, a student states that he was bullied about his hair and about what he wore. Kids might be a ruthless bully because of issues at home and anger. I believe that severe bullying is worse than a bystander because they suffer more severe punishment, develop a horrible reputation, and they are the hugest cause of teen suicide. Clearly bullies are the horrific guys here.

Many people don’t take responsibility for their actions or their children’s actions. Parents of bullies should be held responsible because they are the ones that raise them and teach them what’s right from wrong.

Bullying has been escalating to a certain degree that it has affected as many as 160,000 students that reported staying home from school every day, because they were afraid of being bullied (www.stompoutbullying.org). Bullying does not only stops one from wanting to go to school, it also makes one feel anxious, insecure, and unhappy at school, isolated and at times severely depressed (Young, Shin Kim, and Leventhal). Schools must have better resources available to students; this includes the victim and the bully. The victim should have both better counseling and stricter laws to protect them. Bullies also need counseling due to research which states “that many bullies tend to come from families where parents are more
