A dysfunctional family doesn’t mean the child is a bully. However, a large amount of bullies come from this category because they are in homes with little affection and openness. Parents in dysfunctional families often let their children view some type of violent behavior on tv or even within the family and friends. “Children learn from seeing what their primary caregivers do. They are very attuned and very observant about what goes on in a household,” said Dr. Nerissa Bauer. Dr. Bauer is the lead author of a study at university of Washington on the relations of violence in the home and bullying in schools. “This study supports the idea that parental violence can lead to violence between children and their peers,” added Todd Herrenkohl the co-author of the

No matter what type of bullying, it should not happen to anyone. No one deserves to have fears about going to go to or to work because they are afraid of being threatened and bullied. Bullying is a well known problem in the US yet little had been done to prevent the problem. Everyday, in schools, a placed where security and shelter was promised, young children and teenagers are physically threatened, publically embarrassed, and exploited on social media all because of bullies.

Most people think that bullying and harassment are the same thing, but in reality, both have different meanings. Bullying is a more physical abuse where the bully does it to an acquaintance, but does not have to be a personal vendetta; it can happen to anyone the bully knows.

Have ever thought about bullying and how it affects kids in the US? When you think about bullying you don’t think about kids lives, the law, or their absence. We don’t consider bullying as a big problem but it really matters. When kids come home saying that they have bullied what do you think is happening to them or the school? What can the school do about bullying and when will their be an end of insults and cruelty? I think bullying can be stopped if people can start paying attention to the problem and people actually want to help.

Bullying is a growing problem in American schools; an increase in bullying over a period of time can lead to suicide or negative impacts on health. Although some believe that students should not be formally charged for bullying, they should be because that is a cruel act and could lead to negative things. Opponents suggest that students should not be formally charged with bullying. They argue that students do not have the capacity to understand the consequences of their actions. For example, if a student bullies another student, they have no way of knowing that their actions could lead to that student harming themselves.

School can be very harsh, to some it easier than others, for me it was extremely hard especially as a overweight, depressed and anxious person. Around the age of twelve years old I was an overweight, shy and tomboy, but not any tomboy, I went through a stage where I dressed in all black and baggy. My acne was horrible and I would try everything, it was all over my face and kids would point it out all the time. Not only that my acne was horrible, I had no confidence and while I was struggling to find products to fix my skin, as you could imagine I was an extremely easy target for bullying, nobody deserves to be bullied, but that doesn’t mean that they still won’t do it. I remember the fear of going to school, the name calling was enough to keep me from going anywhere, I would beg to my mother for I could stay home from school. To make matters worse for me, the school I was going to was consider to be ghetto compare to other schools, kids would call me names calling me fat, ugly, a man, and even call me mean for no reason, especially since I didn’t talk to anyone cause I was so shy . I wasn’t mean, but they made rumors that I would scream at anyone who would talk to me, that my mom didn’t love me and it sounds ridiculous now, but back then I felt broken and I was only in sixth grade, not even a teenager yet.
