Reflection Paper On Bully

However, for me, elementary school is a somewhat painful memory. Throughout most of my grade school years I was bullied–physically and verbally–almost everyday. The kids on the playground would exclude me, my “friends” would be my friends one day and not the next, and then there would be the days that they kicked me or hurt me in some form or fashion. Of course, looking back now, it seems like petty, childish games, but in the moment it was a huge blow to the fragile eight year old I was. It wasn’t all terrible, though. Before the bullying I was naive, quick to trust, and fragile. Afterwards though, from all these experiences I learned forgiveness, kindness, grace, and who to place my trust in. As I grew up, I swore I’d never treat anyone the way I had been treated and I wouldn’t stand for bullying; no child should have to experience that kind of emotional and physical

I interviewed Mrs. “Bright” for this assignment. She is currently assigned to one of our three high schools within the Harrison County School District (HCSD). This incident happened a few years ago when she was an assistant principal at a different high school in the HCSD. A white 10th grader had a daily 30 minute wait after school for his ride home. By this time, the other students, faculty, and staff had mostly all left the campus. A series of bullying by four black upper-classman soon started on an almost daily basis. The upper-classman were staying after school for football practice that was being held across the school campus. On one occasion the boys chased “Ryan” across campus telling him “run white boy” and “run cracker”. Ryan

What is red, silver, black, and white that has won two NBA Championships? If you guessed the Houston Rockets, you are correct. Founded in just 1971, the Houston Rockets became part of the National Basketball Association as members of the league’s Western Conference Southwest Division.

The Bully Survival Support Group will be a short-term group which will consist of 8 sessions, totaling 8 weeks. The group will be short-term because it is a closed therapeutic support group that members are not admitted into the group after selection have been made. This decision was made to enable the group leader and co-facilitator instigate another session of the support group, to enable other students have an equal chance to be recruited, and supported through participation.

At last week’s match against the New Orleans Pelicans, where the Houston Rockets won 100:95, two Houston Community College students were shadowing Rockets employees on a game day at the Toyota Center.

Bullying has been recognized as a risk factor in improvement and personal growth of children and adulthood. It is a form of hostile conduct in which an individual engages to cause another individual harm or distress (Kirves, & Sajaniemi, 2012).. Therefore, it is vital to be able to detect signs of bullying in order to stop further consequences, such as self-harm, and suicide. Children who have experienced bullying become hopeless, anxious, have low self-efficacy, and have recurrent negative thoughts (Kirves, & Sajaniemi, 2012). Research in bullying has also concluded that children who bully other children are more prone to become anti-social and engage in criminal activity (Kirves, & Sajaniemi, 2012).

According to the article “Tales of Bullying,” students can become a bad bully because you might have your own group of friends you want to impress or try to show off for, or you might have something going on at home. According to paragraph 3 in “Meet the New Sheriff” kids may get bullied because of their hair and/or what they wear. All around the wonderful world good kids are ending their own good lives over bullying. A bad bully is far worse than a lazy bystander because mean bully’s cause suicides, bullies cause/have low self-esteem, not to mention they suffer a large amount of punishment.

I thought the nightmare would stop in middle school. However, middle school was a lot worse, not only was I verbally assaulted but also physically. As the days went by, I felt an increasing animosity towards my new language. (Since it was the root if all my problems.) I don’t know how my mom found out, but even thought I didn’t admit it, I was relived she did. Joe1, who bullied me on a regular basis, was expelled from the school. However I felt guilty since he was just a kid who didn’t know

As an elementary school student, I did not have many friends. I had not been with my classmates since preschool, so I was an outsider from the start. Being so young and ignorant, I did not really see that I was bullied, disliked, and unwanted, however, as I became more mature I realized that these people I would spend 8 years of my life with looked for anything to nitpick, from my rupunzelesque hair to my love for drawing. Come middle school, I finally and completely understood the animosity, and still sat alone at lunch, worked alone in class, replied with silence to their words, and when I was even assaulted I did nothing more but shrug it off and try to ignore it. However, when I would come home in the evenings I would retreat to my bedroom where it would all hit me at once. The anguish led to rivers of tears, insomnia, low grades, a refusal to leave my home, and eventually even suicidal tendencies. My drawings became graphic, about suicide, loneliness, and the anger I felt. The school believed I had ADHD, my parents believed it was just a phase, but they were blinded by their own problems at the workplace.

Thesis: Bullying in its many forms affects all people no matter age, gender, and class, but the effects can be very dangerous and very hurtful.
