How Does Bullying Affect Society

To expect greatness in any field of life, it all starts from a place of quality education and that's what America has constantly strived for. School is the place where everyone is given equal opportunity to learn and shape himself or herself into contributing members of society. At the same time each individual’s academic success defines what it means to have a good life. Unfortunately, schools face lots of problems trying to do the right thing. Among major challenges that schools face, bullying has a strong attribution to the poor academic experience among student victims. Today, students still risk being bullied everyday.

High school bullying is a big dispute that many articles and papers have devoted their time and effort to refute and have succeeded in making people conscious of the issues surrounding them. Yet, they did not succeed in causing actual change and reformation in high schools, which is not the change that this paper wishes to manifest to its audience. Its objective is to illustrate to its teenage audience, what they can do in any bullying scenario, whether they are the bully, the victim, or a person watching from the crowd, that they have an option to prevent bullying and slowly make a change. Its purpose was to show how bullying damages a person's self-worth, how it unfolds pointless beatings, and how mental and emotional disorders come to be. The big dispute was to inspire reasons and give examples on why the prospect of students acting on bullying situations refutes them just comprehending them so, one day the trend of high

Bullying affects more and more people each day. I beg you to take this issue seriously. There is no excuse for someone in your home, classroom, or on your team to be bullied or to be bullying someone else. It’s not kids just being kids. Middle school and high school is such a hard time for a

The suicide often comes from being so despondent and depressed, feeling there is no one to get help from, that suicide seems to be the only way to make the pain stop. The suicide often occurs after months and even years of bullying, and it is often a situation where extreme embarrassment and social ridicule have occurred. Multiple stories in Canada and the U.S. involve teen girls suffering for years until their mid-teens and then killing themselves without any warning signs of planning.

American society is made up of many different backgrounds and beliefs. Fortunately, freedom of speech allows us the opportunity to openly discuss our opinions. This can also create debate over social issues, or conflicts that affect numerous amounts of people within the society. Some issues in this society include bullying and having security systems in schools. Bullying has been a problem for teens in middle and high school. Many teens deal with harassment, stalking, bullies, and abuse. This causes the victims to harm themselves and these actions should not be done for a temporary problem.

Bullying is known as the use of strength and intimidation to get a desired action or object from a person. There are many different forms of bullying. Name-calling, hazing, and starting rumors are a few examples of modern bullying techniques. Although bullying is prevalent in many aspects of today’s society, most attention is being turned to bullying in schools. Bullying in schools has been a leading cause of depression and suicide. Because of this, many schools have begun to implement new anti-bullying programs to discourage bullying and offer support to victims. Despite these efforts, teens are still harboring depression and committing suicide. Bullying it still prevalent in today’s youth community, despite

“Does anyone have any questions?” Ms. Smith, the counselor, asked. She was making the rounds around the middle school gathering each class and made sure to know what bullying and abuse was. She wanted everyone to know that we are safe at school and could talk to her. We were all silent in response to her question. Me especially. Looking around my seventh grade home economics class with all of the students gathered around the front of the class, and thinking ‘someone else in here has experienced that’. Not the bullying, the abuse. My palms were sweaty and my face turned red with worry. I first thought ‘that sounds like what I go through at home. I thought all parents did that’. Then my mind raced to ‘What if I were to tell the school?’,

I was legit the only girl in my grade that liked heavy metal, wore black, and was an outcast. I had no friends, my family had problems, and I was bullied since the 5th grade.

Bullying can affect nearly everyone around you. It can affect the person bullying, the one getting bullied, and even the witnesses. Bullying can lead to mental illnesses, depression, and sometimes even suicide. 1 out of every 4 Teens are bullied and 1 out of every 5 teens confess to being bullies or say they have bullied someone at one point.

Bullying is not something that goes away after it happened once or twice, they will keep coming until something is done about the oppressor. If nobody acts upon them, serious consequences can occur. As a matter of fact, suicide is the third leading cause of death of young people. Over 14 percent of high schoolers have considered suicide and almost 7 percent have attempted it. If not suicide, they are most likely to grow up with social anxiety, low self-esteem and will require more mental health services throughout life. Furthermore,

Universities across the country, as the FBI is likely trying to get bag men to roll, are doing what they do best. No, silly. Not educating kids about the pitfalls that come with enrolling in college early. It is playing the victim in a scandal that is actually about adults poaching teenagers by way of cash.

Teens who have been bullied can suffer from serious health problems and academic issues. According to Ashley Strickland, author of the article “Bullying Is a ‘Serious Health Problem,’ Report Says”, “We need to understand that this is a public health problem faced by a third of our children,” said Dr. Frederick Rivara, chairman

Bullying occurs when one child tries to exert unwarranted influence over another, or the former mistreats the latter in one way or the other often due to a power play struggle between the two. Although schools have made several attempts to fight the vice particularly at the elementary level of education, the problem has persisted in some of the higher grades. According to the research by Swearer, Espelage, Vaillancourt, and Hymel (2010), bullying and teasing incidents increase in middle school environments as they have fewer structures for dealing with the vice. Incidentally, teachers do not see the need to supervise teens as they play, have lunch, or undertake other extracurricular activities as the society no longer considers them delicate. For that reason, middle school children are the most likely to experience or engage in bullying and hence suffer the related psychosocial, physiological, and academic effects.

Many people do not realize how serious bullying has become. If you look at statistics suicides due to bullying have increased over just a few short years. This has become a very big problem for not only the victim but the bully as well as it affect both of them.

I believe my scariest moment on campus was before the renovation of the old wooden T building. I was a young teacher back then where the school only have a scant amount of public funding. We did not use to have as many great students as you are all now, smart and tenacious, but mostly are from gangs or impoverished background. I was, in fact, students like you guys and able to earn a good amount of scholarship for my mathematics study at UCLA. I felt powerless as all I could do, back then, was to teach and no one seemed to care about it. I had to teach Pre-Algebra back then and the worst part was that I had to do all the grading on campus and inside the old T building where my classroom used to be. The worst part of this was that I used to be a victim of bullying in high school. Despite of overcoming that fear as I went to college, working here at that time was an intangible spiritual battle.
