Persuasive Essay On School Bullying

Nothing is more irritating than when I hear about someone who is either getting bullied or being the bully. Active bullying is not something that should even be a thing in this world, but it is, and it is inevitable to happen. Imagine going to school everyday and not hearing about any drama for your whole high school career. Yes, it is very hard to imagine because almost every school has dealt with some sort of drama, but think of how much more would get accomplished and how many more people would succeed in this world without taking their own life or needing help for everything. Everything in life would be so much simpler and students, teachers, workers, etc., could probably learn more and have a much better lifestyle if no one had to

As parents, our instinct is to protect our children from harm or potential threats. They are often referred to as a piece of our heart that is walking and talking in the outside world. Therefore; it is natural to treat our children as if they are fragile, similar to a delicate piece of art that should be handled with extreme care. However, by doing so we are not preparing them for the real world. Parents should aid children in building an armor to protect them from the often-cruel society, which they will eventually journey out alone in.

We entrust their care to teachers and administrators, with some students spending more time in their care than with their parents. Therefore, it is critical that schools maintain this safe learning environment for their development. One way schools maintain this safety is to identify and respond to incidents of bullying which is a significant threat; however, we need to closely examine what is being categorized as bullying. Where is the line between bullying and routine life experience with disappointment and hurt feelings?

The possible ramifications from real bullying encounters are significant while those from hurt feelings are not. Over classification of the word “bullying” discounts the impacts of actual incidents of bullying.

Bullying has been an issue in education for a long time, and people have discussed many ways to fix bullying. Typically, when people are discussing bullying, they cover bullying in general and do not include bullying of LGBTQ students. The discussion of bullying of LGBTQ students has been excluded most likely because of the controversy involved. However, bullying is harmful and should not be undermined just because of someone’s sexuality. Bullying of LGBTQ students in school systems from other students is an aspect of society that continues to be a major issue, but educating students on sexuality to remove misunderstanding and advocating for LGBTQ students in school systems to show support will assist in abolishing this issue from society.
