In the peer-reviewed article Bullying and Being Bullied in Childhood Are Associated with Different Psychosocial Risk Factors for Poor Physical Health in Men, authors Karen A. Matthews, Richard J. Jennings, Laisze Lee, and Dustin A. Pardini presented the idea that adulthood can be greatly affected by childhood bullying and being bullied.

Has someone ever made fun of you, made you feel stupid, or made you feel bad about yourself? If yes, then you have been a victim of bullying. Bullying can diminish the mental and/or physical health of bullied individuals. This epidemic happens every day, yet nothing is trying to stop it. If no one addresses the problem, then it will continue to be a problem. Yes, there are programs trying to prevent bullying, but who is to say that people are listening? Even with all of the bully prevention programs, bullying is still not being addressed properly because it is still prevalent in causing negative impacts on one’s mental and physical health and can lead to suicidal thoughts.

There are so many short and long term affects that are associated with bullying. These effects take on both part of the situation; the bully and the victim. John Sheridan has short and long term effects for both the victim and the bully. From his article Short and Long Term Effects of Bullying - The Victim & the Bully, Sheridan come up which a list. His first list concludes five short term effect of the victim. The first short term effect is extreme depression where the victim always feels sad and need to withdraw from others.

April 20th, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold went to their school in Littleton, CO. They preceded to kill 12 and injure 21 students and faculty before killing themselves. Columbine shooting is infamous as one of the worst school shootings in US history. These two boys were known as outcasts and were ridiculed regularly. It’s been said that they were out for revenge on the school for being mistreated (New York Daily). This extreme case is the cause of a broken psyche doe to repeated blows from peers. “Harassment and bullying have been linked to 75% of school-shooting incidents” (Statistics). Not every case will lead to a mass shooting, but is more plausible to lead to suicide. Teenagers are taking their own lives, because they

A bully is a person who uses strength or power to harm or intimidate those who are weaker or different. This power does not necessarily mean physical, but mental health, as well. Bullies use their potential to cause harm to people. This harm is emotional and physical pain inflicted by a bully to the bullied."Children and teens who are bullies are at increased risk for substance use, academic problems, and violence to others later in life.What are the effects of bullying on the bully?"

Bullying is an abuse that hurts someone, either emotionally or physically. 3-4 year old children repeat some actions again and again intentionally to hurt someone and irritate other people through those actions or hit someone again and again for the same purpose (McIntyre & Franks, n.d.). In 3-4 year olds, bullying is considered intentional. There are three to four kinds of bullying in early childhood we can identify (physical, verbal, and cyberbullying). There are also some steps through which parents can over-come bullying because if parents don 't stop bullying during early childhood, bullying will increase with the growth of that child (Storey & Slaby, 2013). There are too many problems with bullying, such as stereotyping, which is one of the major issue that will occur if parents do not control their children in early childhood. Children can also develop dysfunctional relationships later in life as a result. For example, a child in her early childhood, whose name is Rena, is constantly being bullied by her cousin, Chris. He bites her arms and pulls her hair because she plays with his toys. Rena may carry her hate towards him from now till the time she grows up and by then she will only see negativity in Chris and would hate him forever. That is if her parents don 't change her perception of Chris while she 's still in the early years of childhood. That 's bullying and that 's only one problem with it. There are so many other issues like this at the age of 3-4.

Bullying is found in elementary, middle, and high school all around the world. School bullying occurs at similar rates such as cultures, countries and educational settings. It can take many direct and indirect forms, like physical violence, name calling, taunting, teasing, horrible rumors, and social exclusion. Since the late 90’s, several school shootings committed by the victims of the school bullying have brought media attention to the issue.

Bullying is a kind of abuse that is acted to hurt someone , either emotionally or physically. In early age , children repeat some actions again and again intentionally to hurt someone and irritate other people through those actions or hit someone again and again for the same purpose. In fact , that is bullying [Tom McIntyre (Dr Mac ) and Alexis Franks (N. D. )] . In 3-4 year olds, bullying is considered intentional. There are three to four kinds of bullying into early age and we can identify the signs of bullying (especially parents ), reasons of the identified signs can also be searched out by parents, and there are some steps through which we can over-come bullying because if parents don 't stop bullying into early age of their children, bullying will increase with growth of that child [Kim Storey, Ron Slaby (2013 )] . There are too many problems of bullying, such as stereotyping, which is one of the major issue that will occur if parents don 't control their children in early childhood. Children can also grow to hate some relations when they grow up and always see negativity in those relations. For example, a child in his early childhood, whose name is Chris, hits his cousin Rena and bites on her arms because she plays with his toys. Chris may carry this hate from now till the time he grows up and by then he will only see negativity in Rena and would hate her forever.

This website was made to make sure that there is information available to parents, teachers, lawyers and professionals on how to handle bullying, ways to prevent it as well as explaining what bullying is. My stance is that there should be more steps taken to prevent bullying. On this website, a person is able to see what all the types of harassment are. Harassment ranges from sexual, racial, disability to gender. In elementary school, I too went through bullying because of my disability. I know that it can be hard for a student to get through the day when someone is picking on them and distracting them because of something that they can not control. Kids do not realize that the tormenting can make one feel down and not wanting to be in a

Although both secondary and primary sources describe the impact that bullying has on the victim as being negative, there are still differences between them. Natalie, the fifteen-year-old victim, says, “‘Soon I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I lost all self-esteem and became paranoid about people’” (Sawer). Depression, anxiety, and the other effects Natalie experienced from bullying are all harmful. She also said she considered suicide and would perform self-harm by doing things like tearing out her hair. The personal side of what bullying can cause a person to do/feel are revealed through what Natalie described. Although not as severe as Natalie, the other bullying victim, Eric, also had a damaging experience with bullying while it was occurring. Eric says, “’I think it's fair to say that bullying never affects the victim positively at a young age. It made me very shy and scared. I always felt like I had to be on guard’” (Goldman). The bullying had a negative impact on Eric’s life while it was occurring. He felt shy and scared which could be averse to his mental and physical health. The perpetrators made both the victims feel desolate. Feeling grim led to short term mental and physical issues such as being fearful and suicidal. The problems that Natalie and Eric faced shows the damaging impact that bullying had on the victim. The personal experience that is discussed is what makes the difference between the primary and the secondary source.

It can be proven that, “with 50 percent of kids saying that they have been bullied at least once within a month,” bullying is a large issue (Poon). This accounts for approximately 24.9 million children in the U.S. (“Fast Facts”). Bullying can cause mental health issues, personality shifts, and substance abuse if taken to extremes. These problems developed as a child can carry on through the rest of their lives if the bullying does not cease or if the bullying is traumatic enough. This can also affect the victim and the bully more intensely as they try to make decisions later on in life such as mistreating others or allowing others to mistreat them. Bullying has a negative effect that continues even after the act is ended due to heightened stress and lowered self-worth.

Bullying involves targeting an individual perceived to be vulnerable for repeated mistreatment (William, 2015). Adolescence all over the world face the psychosocial consequences of dealing with bullying. Children who face bullying are at a greater risk for developing emotional problems, such as suicide, behavior problems, poor school performance, and now physical health problems that are leading researchers to the relation between bullying and eating disorder symptoms.

On June 14th, 2014, my friend committed suicide due to bullying. He was bullied, for many years and never wanted anyone to help him out. For many decades now, bullying is a growing concern in our society. Bullies are selfish, ignorant kids trying to become more popular. Bullies are away many snatching people’s self -esteem, rights and ending many people’s lives.

Bullying is defined as unwanted or aggressive behavior that causes someone to feel afraid or intimidated. This behavior could be something physical, verbal or something done electronically or through social media. If someone feels threatened by someone’s actions or words, it could be considered bullying, even if that was not the intent. In my Senior project paper, I will discuss the 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 person who have been bullied.
