Persuasive Essay: Should They Get Paid For Them?

Bullying is very bad and because of this about 160,000 of 13,000,000 kids stay home so they don’t get bullied by anyone. Also out of that 13 million 2,000 commit suicide because of the harsh bullying. Since many kids around the world are being bullied schools have been starting an anti-bullying system which brings bullies down by 15%. When kids reported bullying 80% of it is name calling, 39% is hitting or shoving, 38% is threats, 29% is rumor spreading, etc. Everyone should always remember one rule and that is the golden rule, the golden rule is to treat others how they want to be treated, but some bullies just don’t understand so they make everyone feel bad about themselves.

Altogether bullying is not nice and shouldn't happen in any schools, and we must put a stop to it.

“Finally!” Today I went to a school assembly about bullying. The principal said, “If anyone is caught bullying in school, you will be suspended for a week.” I told the principal that we need to make harsher punishments if anyone is bullying. Here are the reasons why there should be harsher punishments for bullying.

When someone is bullying another person, I believe that they should have consequences for it. In Nixa’s handbook it clearly tells what their consequences are. “Such discipline may include detention, in-school suspension, out-of-school suspension, expulsion, removal from participation in activities, exclusion from honors and awards, and other consequences deemed appropriate by the principal or superintendent.” (Nixa Public Schools). In Branson’s handbook also states what the bullies consequences will be. “Students who participate in bullying or who retaliate against anyone who reports bullying will be disciplined in accordance with the district's discipline code.” (Branson Public Schools). Nixa’s and Branson’s handbook plainly states the

Another form of bullying is physical bullying, physical bullying is where bullies start using physical contact. They could literally just start your stuff, like they could walk up and take your paper, or your pencil. They could trip you or poke you all the time. Bullying has been around as long as people can remember but it needs to be put to a stop. In my opinion parents need to stop bullying because people do things outside of their homes based on how their home life is and they learn everything from their

I believe schools should be free of bullying because it is a place where we need to study and build fundamentals for our future. Bullying damages the bullied individuals emotionally, academically, and intellectually. I know this from a personal experience, I suffered from bullying for about three years in high school, and I know how it feels to be bullied and to be afraid to assert myself. The bullies used to bully me by calling me “ugly” and “stupid” and many other phrases…I used to hear these negative words and phrases daily. It even affected my academic performance, and I used to tell myself that it is okay, I am not the only one who has been through this and not survived. Plus, I was scared if I faced them and tried to defend myself, it will be worse, so I used to deal with it by silence. It stopped when I decided to speak up about it to my teacher. After talking to my teacher, who took care of the problem, nobody bothered me after that day. If I had not spoken up and stood up for myself that issue would have never been solved. This example shows the significance for students to speak up for themselves to solve their own problems. Consequently, we should never hesitate to assert ourselves and ask for help if we have an

The story has been told many times: a kid starts at a new school and is immediately singled out by the other students and is picked on. He is essentially an easy target to be bullied. The victim’s feelings and reactions are always talked about when bullying is brought up-- but what about the feelings and reactions of the bully? There has to be some trigger that is causing that person to act out in such a way. William Pollack, author of “Inside the World of Boys,” refers to “males wearing masks as an invisible shield” (Pollack 64), but they only focus on the victims what about the masks the bullies are wearing while committing these acts.

There is no reason to bully. You should settle problems in a civil way. We should all come together and try to make an impact on the bullies. One way to help is if we see something report it .We can also have arranged assemblies in school or outside of school. As a group make a website for anti-bullying. Together, as a group we can make a difference if we stand together nothing is impossible

Bullying has been an issue for children in schools for years. Australia did a study showing that one in four children are bullied while in school. It has shown that children that have suffered being bullied have also suffered poor mental health compared to other children. Another research was shown that children that were bullied over time were actually suffering in long term as mentally unfit. Many researchers have conducted that most parents are not even aware that their child is being bullied at school. The main reasoning behind this problem is because parents are not in the schools everyday like the teacher is watching every move they make. Most of the responses of this issue have to come from the teachers or the child. Most children do not even

Did you know that parents of bullies go to jail in California? Should or should not parents be held accountable for their children being bullies? Parents should not be held accountable because not all parents can watch their children all the time. Also some kids don't pick up bullying from their parents. They could pick it up from anybody!

As stories like Moniques and other people demonstrates, there are policies out there that just simply do not work.. One is called zero-tolerance policies, and while these succeed at sending the message that bullying is not tolerated, there are several problems with them. Nora M. Findlay believes, “ One of the most serious problems inherent in zero tolerance is that it treats dissimilar problems in a similar way” (6). Secondly, “Students and teachers may be less likely to report and address bullying if suspension or expulsion is the consequence” (United States Department of Health and Human Services). Two other policies that are used but never works is called peer-mediation, and conflict resolution. The United States Department of Health and Human Services stresses, “Conflict involves antagonism among two or more people. Whereas any two people can have a conflict (or a disagreement or a fight) bullying only occurs when there is a power imbalance-where one child has a hard time defending himself or herself” (“Myths about Bullying” sect. 1). This difference is very important to be aware of because these strategies can make the people being bullied feel even worse. Not only that, but it sends the message that all children share equal blame, which is definitely not an appropriate message. The message to the person being bullied should be,

Everyone needs to stop bullying because there are people who go out of their way to bully someone. They don’t understand how it can mentally and physically hurt them, neither do they understand its one of the many causes of teenage suicide. Imagine a school without creative students, a school where no one is happy. Schools are supposed to be a good time, not some place where you get insulted till you’re off to college.

Have you ever wondered why the bully bullies? 8 of you said you were bullied and 5 of you were bullies. Well, believe it or not the bully needs the same help than the bullied. They are in different sides of the problem but still they both have a problem. We can’t forget that we are talking about kids, about human beings.

Though this may be true in some cases, it still needs to be taken seriously and they should be held responsible. Take suicide cases for example, it should be considered manslaughter. When a person unintentionally kills a person, or is responsible for their death, they are held responsible. Why aren’t bullies? Manslaughter should be taken seriously and they should be punished for the loss of that victim’s life as well as the IIED charges for any other victims they have bullied. If they are underage the compensation money will come from their parents. Some also say this is unfair since the child did the bullying not the parents. Bullies aren’t born that way, they get influenced and typically come from a type of home that may unintentionally teach them that it is okay to treat people like

Schools say “no” to bullying, but why not say “yes”? Bullying is good for teachers, students, classes, and the world. Bullying can help everyone whether they are the bully or the victim. Everyone wins when it comes to bullying. There are so many reasons why instead of saying “Bullying is very bad,” schools should say, “You should bully (but not everyone) because some people need to get bullied.”
