The Role of Emotional Regulation in Addressing Bullying and Victimization

Mayella does not have power because she is a white female, being the lowest class. Mayella is a white female living in Maycomb, Alabama. Mayella has some power being white, but not in her class and gender prevents her from having any power. Mayella is an eighteen year old taking care of her younger siblings. She does not have any power.

The book Slaughterhouse-Five, written by Kurt Vonnegut, is an anti-war book about Vonnegut’s exposure to the vivid events that unfolded during his time at the slaughterhouse in Dresden, Germany and how it affected him. The story is told by Vonnegut through the perspective of the main protagonist, Billy Pilgrim. Billy was a survivor from WWII and the Dresden bombing, but after returning he claims to have traveled through time to explicit memories from life and had been abducted by Tralfamadorians (aliens). However, in the film Slaughterhouse-Five, directed by George Roy Hill, viewers see slight changes to the storyline. Viewers notice that in the opening scene that Vonnegut’s friend Bernard O’Hare and his wife, Mary O’Hare, are never

Parents can prevent their children from bullying by learning about their lives and why they are bullying, educating them about bullying, and helping them feel empathy. If parents pay close attention to their child’s life and make a point to help them with any problems they have, the child may bully less because their problems are being heard. Educating them about bullying can help them understand why is wrong, and make them see the victim's point of view. If they understand how hurtful bullying is to the victim, they are more likely to stop.

Leaving children in an environment that puts them at risk for social emotional developmental problems has become a controversial issue among child protection workers. In cases where children witness violence there is no proof that they will all turn out to be resilient rather the children will be affected. Although resiliency does exist and a number of children who witness IPV have been able to develop without severe emotional problems that affect them directly however they may lead to the internalizing of problems (Holmes,

I will look at arson; the history, Georgia state statute, punishment, and changes to that may or may not need to be changed. Arson is defined as the willful and malicious burning or charring of property. There are many types of arson crimes, including setting fire to one's property with fraudulent intent--such as to collect insurance money. While the majority of arson crimes involve damage to buildings, arson can also be committed by a person who sets fire to forest land or a boat. Arson statutes typically classify arson as a felony due to the potential to cause injuries or death.

Children with authoritative parents were more likely to become bullies (Lereya, Samara & Wolke, 2013). Good parent-child communication were less likely to become bullies but had higher chances to be the victims (Lereya, Samara & Wolke, 2013). Negative parenting behaviors were significantly more likely to have been neglected or abused (Lereya, Samara & Wolke, 2013). In this case the children were more likely to become bullies but not the victims (Lereya, Samara & Wolke, 2013). With victims the test showed a lack of communications between parents and child (Lereya, Samara & Wolke,

The first five years of a children’s lives are when he or she are most vulnerable to negative developmental effects due to trauma. More than half of the school age children in domestic violence shelters show clinical levels of anxiety or post traumatic stress disorders. (Myers, 2002) “Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an emotional illness that usually develops as a result of a terribly frightening, life-threatening, or otherwise highly unsafe experience” (Edwards, 2009). Because children in these early ages have little understanding of the situation, children may interpret the acts of violence as a result of something they have done wrong. Small children will complain of stomachaches. Children may learn unhealthy was of dealing with anger, meaning they might have outburst of anger and rage or may just withdraw. Children may regress to an even younger age crying, whining or sucking their thumb. Children will learn that this violence is acceptable behavior. With out intervention and therapy, negative behaviors can be carried over to adolescence and adulthood (Moore, 2004).

47) Children experiencing and being witness of all the violence can become traumatic not only during their childhood but also can during their adulthood. Children living and watching their parents having domestic violence and living violence daily will behave the same way when they finally become adolescence. In another study, researchers have explained that the consequence of parents having domestic violence is on their children. Youth facing domestic violence is in a high risk and expose to numerous outcomes to become violent (Gardner, Browning, & Brooks-Gunn, 2012, pg.662). Another problem that children are in a big chance of developing is bullying. Problems between families can make children feel depressed and feel less than every friend around. On this study, researchers have found that children are the victims of bullying are suffering from depression, anxiety and doing poorly academically. Which all, if these problems come from children being abused and facing domestic violence (Shetgiri, Lin, & Flores, 2015,

Having a teen that is experiencing bullying can be very challenging for some parents. Parents often blame themselves and want nothing more than to take the pain away from their child, others who have never experienced bullying struggle to know how to help. Parent child relationships can either be helpful in this situation or be the root of the problem. Perhaps the most significant struggle when it comes to children being bullied is how parenting styles affect their children and if they benefit or harm the bullying experience.

Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. The perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical power, which distinguishes bullying from conflict. Keeping parents informed about their child’s grades, friends, behavior, and even attitudes in school is an important tool when addressing behaviors. Working together, parents and teachers can provide a consistent approach to introduce more productive and appropriate replacement behaviors. This makes the message more likely to sink in and stick with the child. It can even help the child recognize when another child is being bullied or is a bully.

It is alarming that students between the ages of 8 and 18 consider pressure to engage in sexual activity, AIDS, racism, alcohol and drug use to be less problematic than bullying. They consider the latter a far greater problem than the former (Domino, 2013). Bullying has been defined as a subcategory of interpersonal aggression characterized by intentionality, repetition, and imbalance of power, with abuse of power being a primary distinction between bullying and other forms of aggression. Moreover it is a unique but complex form of interpersonal aggression, which takes many forms, serves different functions, and is manifested in different patterns of relationships. Bullying is not simply a dyadic problem between a bully and a victim, but is recognized as a group phenomenon, occurring in a social context in which various factors serve to promote, maintain, and suppress such behavior (Hymel & Sweareer, 2015). There seems to be an array of definitions for bullying, but for the most part “research agrees that bullying is (1) chronic, (2) done with the intention to harm, (3) relational, and (4) is a form of exposure to violence that presents a major threat to healthy development through adolescence (Fitpatrick, Dulin, & Piko, 2010).”

Face to face bullying and more recently cyberbullying victimization in the youth has been associated with multiple negative psychological aspects including, but not limited to, an increase in different internalizing difficulties and lower subjective well being. Even though both those aspects has been independently associated to victimization, little is known about the mediating effect of the perceived well being in relation with internalizing difficulties and both type of

The issue of bullying as a severe form of peer victimization should be addressed thoroughly by psychoanalysts to find palpable solutions or recommendations to curb the prevalence of this horrendous phenomenon. Abdirahman, Fleming, and Jacobson (2008) suggested that parental involvement reduces the possibility of bullying in high schools. For example, in Western countries students who are encouraged by their parents and have relatively good communication channels with them often feel psychologically stable and are unlikely to bully their peers. The role of school counselling is very essential regarding the amelioration of the bullying problems.

Because of individual difficulties or inadequate socialization experiences, some young children have not yet gained the skills needed to regulate their emotions and behaviours. These children may persist in displaying aggression

Childhood is regarded as a phase of unique protection and rights in western culture, Children’s development is anticipated to unfold within a safe and nurturing environment. Over one million Australian children were affected by domestic violence in 2005 (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2006). Where the environment is infected by violence and fright, all the usual tasks of growing up are likely to be unfavorably affected. For instance, exposure to violence can result in ‘regressive’ symptoms such as increased bedwetting, delayed language development and more anxiety over separation from parents (Osofky,1995, cited in Margolin & Gordis, 2002). These factors may have effects on children’s ability to learn, get along with other children or to focus in school. Most data gotten in the past on the effect of violence on children were studies done on children in refugee camps and so these children are dealing with the aftermaths of struggling with homelessness, dropping out of school and so on. Therefore, it may be different compared to children who are just experiencing domestic
