I believe students bullied at school should receive crime compensation. What is crime compensation you all might be wondering? Compensation is the process of concealing or offsetting a psychological difficulty by developing in another direction, meaning by talking to a specialist about the problem faced and getting awarded for the efforts of nonviolence. Bullying has been a problem for many years now and the results are extremely negative. The victims are getting hurt whether it’s physically or emotionally. Crime Compensation is a State Government program awarding financial and other assistance to victims of a violent crime. Victims of Crime Compensation & Counselling Services (VOCCS) is a private entity providing referral services to experienced solicitors, psychologists and others to assist and support victims of crime in this process. Children who are victims get at least $100,000 depending on the circumstances. The program will pay of medical and dental expenses, counselling costs, funeral or burial expenses (if the person is dead). This ruling changed the way schools and parents view bullying and it truly indicates the severity of the crime. I think that victims of bullying in school should be provided with compensation for four main reasons, firstly because our schools are not doing enough to control and prevent bullying, secondly because bullying should be regarded as a crime, thirdly the serious nature of the effects of bullying on victims, fourthly is it the parents
I consider there should be punished for bullying because if they don’t get in trouble then they just going to keep doing it.Also if there don’t get punished then they are not going to leave the kid that there are messing with along there going to keep messing with him or her.
Issue: If you or your child have ever been a victim of bullying then you know how horrible one can feel. There are many emotions and fears associated with bullying, and no one should have to be subjected to it. Bullying can have a lasting effect not only in one’s present life but their future as well. Bullying is very prominent in schools today, and there has been an increase in school shootings, which is the extreme reaction to being bullied. Children need to consider each other’s feelings before they decide to bully or pick on each other.
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
As society has become revolved around materials and money, it has made it tougher for kids to fit in and be considered “cool”. To make someone suffer from physical and emotional abuse is awfully horrible and only leads to consequences on both sides of the situations. Fortunately, the bullying laws enacted protect helpless victims and help a lot to stop bullying but need to be strictly enforced because many kids still suffer from bullying.
What if you were terrified to go to your school every day? 160,000 students miss school everyday because they get bullied and are scared of what will happen (“Bullying Statistics”). Bullying has been a major problem in schools for too long. Students should not be scared to go to a place that is supposed to be safe and where they can express themselves. Students that bully never get the punishment they deserve which causes them to continue to act. When you go to school, you should know that if you are getting treated in a horrific way, the people who were treating you that way will get punished. Students who bully should be suspended from school.
Bullying is a very serious problem. About 1/10 teenagers drop out of school because of being bullied. Victims of bullies tend to become depressed and many others have even taken their own lives away. Overall bullying has really ruined and hurt many people and it needs to be recognized. The issue of bullying hasn't been exaggerated at all. Additionally, all the attention and awareness that has been spread about bullying is completely appropriate.
One reason bullies should be held responsible is simple. It can be emotionally and physically harmful. Bullying can change lives; in a bad way. In severe cases, it can even drive victims to the point of suicidal thoughts and even suicide itself. Bullying is a way of releasing stress and anger upon another person, and that is not okay. Using it as a way to feel higher than everyone else or above your peers is wrong. Victims can lose total self-worth and the feeling of dignity let alone trying to tone down who they are since a bully disagrees with their choices or how they act. On the legal side of it, it could be tried as mild to severe IIED. Which is also known as
Has your child been bullied? If they have, did they get the justice they deserve? well, not most people do.That’s because of the bullying laws not truly protecting children in school from being bullied in school.I will tell you that the children who bully don’t get the punishment they deserve because of the laws, teachers and staff, and the students.
School bullying is a big ethical problem within our schools and our communities. Some adults see bullying as just part of growing up and being a kid but it is a serious problem that can lead to children obtaining a loss of self confidence. Victims may receive a damaging self image and they may even want to end their own lives. There are many consequences to school bullying kids can obtain mental health problems and can experience anxiety or depression. Children may not be able to sleep or eat and they may lose interest in activities that they used to want to do.
The second perspective to be discussed is with the parents, who not only help educate their children about bullying but is also left alone after a more serious consequence of bullying occurs; which are self harm and suicide. The parents who just lost their child from bullying would urge other parents, and help give awareness about this growing problems. But what about the perpetrator’s parents? Would they have to compensate the parents of the diseased child? Is this even a human thing to do? In my opinion, no life is worth the money. We solely need to acknowledge that these children are being victimized and that bullying is also an act of violence. The last perspective to be discussed is the point of view of professional associated with bullying. An opinion from Dr. John Demartini says over-protective parents create victims of bullying. He states that victims of bullying should stand up for themselves, physically and psychologically. He also believes that if the parents of the victim had not been over protective and strict to their child, then the child being victimized would be
One of the most common asked questions is if bullying is considered a civil rights violation and the answer can vary from state to state and even all over the globe. In a couple of states in North America it is considered a felony to bully other kids and the punishment can vary from being suspended to even spend a couple of nights in the county jail. It’s stated that “the DOE has rightly framed the issue of bullying in schools as one of an institutional responsibility-one that can even get schools legal trouble if it is ignored. Among other things, the letter says that “some student misconduct that falls under a school’s anti-bullying policy also may trigger responsibilities under one or more of the federal anti-discrimination laws” (Costello, Maureen). “In the DOE it also states that all of the teachers need to look beyond the single incidents of bullying and examine the nature of the conduct for all civil rights violations. If some of the bully’s behavior is based on perceptions about someone’s nationality, color, disability, sex, or race. And the school administrators are all supposed to be keeping all the of the civil rights laws at the top of their head” (Costello, Maureen) so they can keep it at the ready so if they need to use it at any point in their life they can easily just think it and there on their way to help out the student if needed.it is said that when the child or children are labeled as bullies or the victims it can possibly be a message the child’s
Well in general, the heavy hand of criminal law is a poor deterrent to most crimes. Its impact can be devastating to the accused and unhelpful to the victim. Worse still, criminally charging the perpetrators may end neither the bullying nor the suffering of the victim. Indeed, the teasing, the emotional harm, the disenfranchisement and the dislike of the victim may increase, especially if their friends and other community members believe that the accusations or arrests were unjustified or a disproportionate response. There are alternative, more effective means of preventing and dealing with bullying. These means require the collaboration and involvement of parents, teachers, counsellors and community members. They require changes in our habits and an examination of how we speak about colleagues and peers. They require changes in parenting styles: What shows we permit children to watch; whether we talk to them about integrity and courage; whether we emphasize "coolness" over
Bullying and cyber-bullying have increased tremendously in past six years. With the increased popularity of Facebook, bullies are finding a new way of tormenting victims. Suicide is the third leading cause of death in teens, with bullying being one of the leading causes. Legal standings on who is accountable have not been clear and when cases are brought forth the infrequent use of laws holding parents and schools responsible is glaring. It is time to make bigger strides on holding parents and school officials responsible for the bullying that occurs within the community. Civil suits are filed at an alarming rate but criminal charges are not considered in some bullying cases. Children are not being led by example but left to think their

Bullying has been escalating to a certain degree that it has affected as many as 160,000 students that reported staying home from school every day, because they were afraid of being bullied (www.stompoutbullying.org). Bullying does not only stops one from wanting to go to school, it also makes one feel anxious, insecure, and unhappy at school, isolated and at times severely depressed (Young, Shin Kim, and Leventhal). Schools must have better resources available to students; this includes the victim and the bully. The victim should have both better counseling and stricter laws to protect them. Bullies also need counseling due to research which states “that many bullies tend to come from families where parents are more
