Ms. Corbett's Oppression Of Bullying In Schools

Merriman Webster’s Dictionary defines a bully as “one habitually cruel to others who are weaker.” One could venture to say that bullies have been around as long as there have been stronger and weaker people in the world. Miller (2012) points out that oftentimes bullies are people who are aware of the variation in others because they themselves have experienced the world in some way that is different from the general norm. He goes on to mention that bullying could be considered a form of microaggression and assumes many different shapes. Lastly, he identifies a series of different types of bullying that bullies can perpetuate which include: verbal, physical, material, relational, hate-motivated, and cyber (Miller 2012).

Andrea Gibson’s’ poem ‘Letter to the Playground Bully’ is an unforgettable poem about bullying. She cleverly crafts a poem from the perspective of an 8 and a half year old girl who is trying to confront the playground bully through a letter. The poem’s sole purpose is to expose the hardships and reality for victims of bullying. She achieves this by making the speaker a younger version of herself. She wrote this poem in order to perform in front of high school and elementary school students to try and stop bullying. Gibson explores unfamiliar territory related to bullying in a straightforward, sweet, yet different approach.

Bullying is the use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants. It happens in most if not all schools around the U.S. In one school, a teacher has done it! That one teacher is Mrs.Newhouse at Nooksack Valley. This menace has terrorized the small community of Nooksack for years and this year her new targets seem to be Braden Hetrick and the stunning Cy Encinias. They've finally come forward with their truly horrific stories of being "roasted" and targeted by Newhouse.

James was referred to me by the assistant principal on August 28, 2017. To obtain more information, I spoke with his teacher. His teacher informed me of behavioral challenges in the classroom with peers and was concerned it may be due to lack of support in the household. My first interaction with James was in the classroom. I observed how he interacted in the classroom with the teacher and peers. From the observation, I noticed James like attention from his peers and attempted to gain attention from me. My next interaction with James was one-on-one. James and I walked around the school building and then went to my office to build rapport for 20-30 minutes. During this time with James, I had him draw a picture of his family and describe them to me. James indicated that he lives with his grandparents and he has two brothers that live with his father that he does not see often. James also stated that his mother is currently incarcerated and that is why he lives with his grandparents. Toward the end of the initial meeting we established a days and times we will meet.

A teacher refers a student to the counselor who has displayed behavior out of the norm for that particular student. The student has had excessive absences in the past three weeks, failed to complete quality work, and has participated in inappropriate behavior. Teachers and even the campus administrator have contacted the student’s parents to see if there is something going on at home that may be the causing these behaviors. The parents said that their son has been having migraines so they have allowed him to stay home from school. They also stated they had taken him to the doctor, but that the doctor did not find any health issues or reasons for the migraines. The student, a 15 year old boy, expresses his frustration to the school counselor. The boy explains he has been getting bullied by other boys at school and that he is the target of humiliation during the lunch hour and also during passing periods. The student shares how the boys make fun of the way he dresses and the fact that he has never had a girlfriend. The student explains that the bullying has been taking place for at least five months and that his teachers never do anything about it.

His emotions have caused him to feel unmotivated resulting in poor performance in the classroom and misbehavior

Every day, someone somewhere is a victim of harassment and humiliation. Bullying has become such a growing epidemic in today’s society that it has become a pervasive health concern. There are more and more students being victimized and strained by other peers each day. Almost one in every four students reports being bullied throughout their school year. (National center for Education, 2015) Although bullying doesn’t just occur at school, bullying can also arise at home or work. Bullied characterizes a chronic abuse of power when the intimidator uses physical, verbal, social or emotional hostility to deliberately and continually hurt another person. Only sixty-four percent of children who were bullied did not report it; only thirty-six reported the bullying. (Petrosina, Guckenburg, DeVoe, and Hanson, 2010) Most students refuse to seek for support for the sake of their safety and for the fear of the aggressor as reporting could only escalate the circumstances. Constantly being victimized can eventually lead to serious health concerns such as anxiety, depression, and obesity. Students who experience bullying are at increased risk for poor school adjustment; sleep difficulties, anxiety, and depression. (Center for Disease Control, 2015) Not only is the victim at risk, but the aggressor as well because normally the aggressor lacks in one of those areas and to feel better about them they have to show no weakness, but also dominance to attack the weak minded.
