Personal Narrative: Bullying In Public High School

Munsey (2012) expresses bullying is experienced in schools daily by students; however, school-based sexual harassment of any kind has a greater effect on the health and welfare of a sexually harassed student. The sexually harassed student alienates themselves from their family, friends, think about quitting school, and possibly think about taking their life.

High school bullying has been a trend in America since Mark Twain was learning how to tie his shoes. It has been depicted in many movies and books how the antagonist (the bully) downgrades and picks on to the protagonist (the victim) throughout the protagonist's high school life in order for him or her to stand up to their bully and defeat them in a triumphant conclusion. Students in high school have been made aware of this tasteless trend in various ways during their school years and are very knowledgeable on the fact that bullying is wrong. Thus, informing this argument's readers on why bullying is fallacious is as ineffective as a person informing another person that the sky is blue. This public argument is going to attempt to persuade its'

Bullying is a subject I totally take personally. There have been many occasions in which I found myself a victim of this epidemic, because that’s exactly what it is, an epidemic, a silent war, that no one seems to understand or even want to face alone, this issue that have swept under the rug all across this nation for a very long time, for far too long. The buck stops here! While reading through my Sunday morning paper over breakfast, I happened to run across a story that really tugged at my heart strings, and this is not the first story like this I’ve read. A young woman in high school here in my town kills herself because of continual bullying initiated by someone else at school. The question that runs through my mind is, why? There are

Bringing back when I was in elementary/middle school at Soaring Heights Charter School. There were a lot of bullies in my school. I was one of the kids being bullied. I was mainly bullied because of my learning disability. I was also bullied because I was really short back then as well as doing nasty habits. Because of these reasons, I had limited friends and had social issues with talking and making friends.

Bullying affects more and more people each day. I beg you to take this issue seriously. There is no excuse for someone in your home, classroom, or on your team to be bullied or to be bullying someone else. It’s not kids just being kids. Middle school and high school is such a hard time for a

“Kids who once took part in bullying are now working to stop it,” said Scholastics, “Tales of Bullying”. People who had bullied before are now forming groups to stop it. People bully because they think they are cool. Bullying is worse than a bystander. A bystander is just as worse as being a bully. The important question is have you ever took part in bullying, have been bullied, or been a bystander before?

You might have heard the saying ¨Treat others as you want to be treated.¨ Now most people don´t listen to this saying, which can lead up to bullying. You might not hurt yourself, but you´re hurting others. This is why we need to work together to make a difference about bullying.

When I was growing up, it was hard for me to make friends and keep them in my life. I either would unintentionally push them away or they would be turned off by everything that I did online whether it would be on Twitter or Facebook. I wanted to be like everybody else while not being able to find myself in this world. It made my school years difficulty as I would often be an easy target for bullying and abuse by my fellow students at L. Douglas Wilder Middle School.

According to the online dictionary, a bully is someone that uses superior strength or influence to intimidate another person typically to force the bullied person to do what the bully wants them to do. Bullying, whether in person or in the cyber world, has become an extremely large issue in society. I live in a very small, rural community where life is very laid back and everyone knows each other, but bullying still exists. I find it very interesting that each public school in Pennsylvania has an anti-bullying system that is practiced, anti-bullying is consistently taught in media and in religious institutions but it doesn’t seem to have impacted the rate of bullying issues. Most teenagers, whether they are the bully or the bullied, think the programs that they must participate in are a joke, and the media plays on the stories of those that

The patient is a 15 year old female who presented to the ED with an overdose on an unknown amount of Paxil, Melatoin and some other unknown pills. Per documentation the patient reports seeing a counselor and has experienced bullying for the past couple of days.

Imagine a kid, a year older than you, but in your grade level because he was retained. He is annoying, overweight, starting to grow a moustache in elementary school, unathletic, and has behavior issues. Your teacher even puts a “restraining order” on you two. And your best friend is also his best friend, of the two or three he has. Now, that immature child starts to intimidate you. Do you fight back? Or do you turn him in to the principal for bullying?

When I was in high school, middle school, and even elementary school, I was in a constant war. Bullies came left and right, beating the shit out of me and the always got in my head. I felt worthless and stupid. It wasn’t just the guys that gave me a hard time, the girls did too. I tried to ask out the head cheerleader at one point. Her name was Vin. I was a bit confident in my approach because I was planning it for awhile. But of course she turned me down, but for a reason that I never heard out of all my years of being bullied, because I was fat. It was weird since my doctor said I was the perfect weight for my height and age. But after what she said I just didn't know. Then an idea popped in my head,I had to lose all the nasty weight, or

Bullying and aggressive behavior in the school system are no secret. Many people have encountered a bully, or have been a bully at some point in their lives. According to the American Psychological Association (APA) bullying “is a form of aggressive behavior in which someone intentionally and repeatedly causes another person injury or discomfort. Bullying can take the form of physical contact, words or more subtle actions”. Unfortunately, the internet makes it easier for children to hide behind computers and say what they please to others, it has branched out into something called cyber bullying. According to the APA, cyber bullying includes sending hurtful or threatening e-mails or instant messages, spreading rumors or posting embarrassing photos of others, etc. Children who are bullied, and children who are doing the bullying both have different experiences. Bullying comes in all shapes and sizes and anyone can be targeted, however certain groups are of children and adolescents have a higher chance of being bullied. Bullying can impact childrens’ behavior, self-esteem, education, etc. It can lead to outcomes such as dropping out of school, doing drugs, things as terrible as death by suicide; much of our youth has taken their lives due to these actions.

When you were a kid, you probably said a lot of things to other kids. Maybe thinking it was just a tease to make fun of another student. But have you ever realized what you are saying? Saying things that could potentially harm the mind of a fragile human being? By attacking them emotionally and physically? A bully is best defined as a person who has repeated interpersonal behavior, usually between children with unequal power over another, which can lead to harming each other physically and emotionally. There are many reasons why bullying exists, a reason may include the feeling of being the alpha dog among a group, influences from home, or just being jealous. Bullying has different forms such
