Have your ever explored the underlining issues with bullying? Have you ever thought of what reasons may case someone to start bullying?

Bullying is seen as aggressive and unwanted behavior between two or more people (Aspa).  Most people who are not involved in the actions going on do not really know it’s happening.  Most parents do not even know when their child, or children, are being bullied (Bullying Facts).  Bullying can be prevented if the right consequences take place.  Parents and schools have the rules about bullying prevention, but these do not prevent the bullying from continuing their ways.  People who bully often should receive bigger consequences because eventually the problem could escalate and the bully will continue their

The New Face of Bullying chapter emphasizes how to identify bullying and understand gateway behaviors. Three characteristics that identify bullying are power imbalance, repeated occurrence, and intentionality. Power imbalance occurs when bullies are bigger and stronger than the victims. Victims are vulnerable targets since they’re physically weaker and can’t defend themselves. Repeated occurrences occur when bullies constantly harass victims on numerous occasions through different components such as physical bullying, verbal bullying, and cyber bulling. Intentionality occurs when bullies have a negative agenda to cause visible hurt or harm towards victims for their enjoyment.

I have been bullied my whole life, from first grade to present day(9th grade). Bullying is not fun, it really hurts. They say “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”. Well I’m here to tell you that’s a lie. I get bullied everyday about everything; me being overweight, how dark I am, how deep my voice is. Everyday I go through this, but I have learned to deal with this. The only reason people bully you is because they're jealous of you, so that means you're doing something right. So remember ,”Be Happy, Be Healthy”. So Slay till your hair turns gray.(Anonymous 2017)The situation that this person is in is that everyday she wakes up and goes through crap and deals with it because she is already used to and she doesn't

Bullying is arguably one of the most common vices in our contemporary society that affects individuals across different settings in the society. Most people associate bullying with schools and teenagers, but the practice cuts across almost all institutions in the modern-day American society. People get bullied at workplaces and even in public institutions when seeking for public services. Bullying entails the use of perceived superior power by an individual to intimidate, threaten, or harm another person (Peguero, 2012). Many children and even employees fall victim to bullying and often suffer a lot of psychological effects that are characterized by fear, hatred, depression, and deeply-rooted anger. The advancements in technology, especially the social media platforms, have introduced new dimensions to bullying and has even made it harder for the government and the society to address this issue. Many sociologists observe that bullying is an inbred issue that is deeply rooted in the society. It is a practice that is perpetrated by the society through the existing cultures, systems, institutions, traditions, and norms that encourage alienation and stereotyping that are commonly associated with bullying. Bullying is often analyzed from the structural functionalist perspective of sociology. Prominent sociologists like Talcott Parsons pointed out that the structural functionalist perspective creates a relationship between the existing social structures in the society and the

Imagine that you are in school, walking down the hallway and see a bunch of guys bullying and harassing another kid. Do you go defend the kid or do you stay a bystander like all the other people you are surrounded by? Most kids just walk by thinking that if they don’t stop it they’re preventing bullying, but it’s just making the problem worse. People need to how to speak up from bullies, and how to speak up for others who are being bullied.

Bullying is a major issue in society today affecting many individuals' lives from young children to teenagers to adults. Bullying is continual, verbal, physical, social, psychological attacking attitude by a person or a group aimed towards a less powerful person or group.

Bullying is on the rise dramatically, especially because there are many more ways for bullying to happen and as technology is advancing so is bullying.

I have found out that my friendship 'group' are secretly bullying a close friend of mine. I am the only one who knows and I feel torn about what I should do. However, my friend's parents are suspicious of what is happening as well as my parents. My friend already feels terrible and doesn't want to go to school. I like my old friend and my new friends, and I want to stay friends with them both. Because no one knows about the bullying, I can tell no one and let the bullying continue, without anything bad happening to me; but who knows what my friend will do. But I know the right thing to do would be to tell a trusted adult about the bullying, so that it will stop. I really like both of my friends, and I want to remain friends with them both. I am in conflict about what I should do; tell a trusted adult about the bullying and live by my values, honesty and doing the right thing, or turn my back in these values and tell no one.

Bullying is defined as unwanted or aggressive behavior that causes someone to feel afraid or intimidated.

If someone feels threatened by someone’s actions or words, it could be considered bullying, even if that was not the intent.There are many types of bullying, how to recognize bullying, how to report bullying, what to do if you see incidents of bullying, and what resources are available to persons who have been bullied.

If a student witnesses a group of kids huddled around and teasing a shy girl in their class about the way her hair is braided, that student may try to decide if one should say something. When no one else is getting involved and one does not want to be a new part of their group ridicule, it may give pause. Any pause in this situation is too much time wasted while another child suffers at the hands of bullying.

Bullying, is using superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants. Bullying affects many people differently. For some people it influences depression and suicidal thoughts. Bullying also may cause people to start bullying also. I was bullied when I was younger and it made me feel like I had no self worth. I believe victims of bullying should be able to talk to anyone that they are comfortable with, whether it may be a parent, trusted adult, a friend, or school administrator. As long as they feel safe with the person they are discussing with it’s fine.
