In John Cloud’s essay “The Myths of Bullying” he talks about the reaction that schools and states have to bullying. Cloud expresses his concerns for bullying and also explains the steps that people are taking to help prevent it. He explains that most of the systems used now are not effective and are making school’s waste money. He then provides his own opinion on how bullying should be approached in school systems.

It is time, at last, to speak the truth about what bullying is and how it affects us as human beings and our development. It is unfortunate but seemingly an inevitable human activity. It has been scattered

In “Phoebe Prince: Should School Bullying Be a Crime?”, an article written by journalist Jessica Bennet addresses school bullying, the outcomes and the consequences that bullies deserve or not. Above all, this article aims the spotlight on bullying, a 15-year-old who took her own life due to harassment, torment, rumors, physical threats all leading it to being bullied by well-known good students. In any case, the process of being bullied has never been taken into consideration nor importance in the school system or by society in general. “It’s even gotten better over the past decade says Dan Olweus, a leading bullying expert”. However, bullying just does not disappear, it is still an issue that humankind does not have any diligence to the cause

Some people don 't believe that bullying is such a big issue in the world, they think it 's just ‘boys acting like boys’ or ‘girls being girls’. However, when a bully is around they are the ones that draw the line and decide what is fun and what is a gesture that is “intentionally hostile.” A bully is a bully because they get what they want which gives them power; power which enables them to only see the good it brings them and not others.

In “To This Day … For the Bullied and the Beautiful”, Shane Koyczan gives an emotional testimony on his personal experiences with bullying. As a kid, Koyczan had many encounters with bullying, and dealt with constant harassment from other kids. Since he was a kid, Koyczan did not know how to overcome this torment, and had to deal with the pain it caused. Now an adult, Koyczan shares his story with others to prevent them from being in the same situation he was in (Koyczan). In addition, Koyczan shows his audience that self acceptance is one of the most important skills when it comes to overcoming bullying.

Over the past couple of decades, schools all across the nation have noticed a significant rise in the amount of bullying taking place among their students. “Two decades ago, bullying was often seen as a rare occurrence, where small groups of parents sought protection for their children with the school district”, stated by Vikki Healy Ortiz, writer of the article “New inclusive approach helps schools fight bullying”. However, the same cannot be said for our society in today’s world. Our modern world has advanced tremendously over the past few decades and there are even more opportunities for children to be susceptible to feeling isolated from others because they are simply unique. In today’s society, children have the potential to bully each other outside of the classroom as well.

This book demonstrates how important it is to stop bullying. On page 252, it says, “A dozen protesters carrying signs with messages like MY SON WAS A VICTIM and ENOUGH PAIN-START THE HEALING NOW! had walked out onto the field and were chanting slogans in front of the TV cameras...they sat down, linked arms, and refused to budge.” The text shows that bullying is an issue and both children and adults want it to stop. It goes with the theme because it shows that bullying is bad, it is an important topic, and we should try to end

Campus Environment – incidents of harassment were observed on campus due to which certain interest groups were formed who criticized the administration for their inadequate response.

Have you ever bullied someone before or are you a victim of being bullied? Well, bullying is described as an immoral and aggressive behaviour where it has an impact on one person to another. This is caused by people assuming they are dominant, superior in age or position. The bully also brings that unnatural anger on someone and tries to victimised them so that they can feel good about themselves. Bullying can occur in a range of places from schools to public places, even at home. Now these days technology is also a problem because of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is becoming an infamous territory to battle their victims as it is often used to humiliate them on social media. As a result, we can say that schools’ bullies have become a huge problem these days. The concept of a bully is that some students who lack in specific qualities in the eyes of the bully is a target for them in order for them to become popular. To be honest, bullying is a bad sign which results in lowering victim’s emotions and this may lead to mental illnesses such as depression and suicidal attempts. Actually, bullying to be present in school should not be tolerated in every possible way because it is violating a person’s human rights.

Discrimination is prevalent within institutions of higher education and is often in the form of ‘Hate Speech’. According to the American Bar Association, hate speech is speech intended to “offend, threaten, or insult groups, based on race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or other traits” (1). University students across the nation demand that hate speech be punishable by law and permanently banned on campus. However, implementing anti-hate speech laws are difficult for universities to enact because of its direct violation of the First Amendment. Instead, universities employ speech codes to protect the rights of their students to speak freely and learn in a safe environment. According to The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), “Speech codes adopted by government-financed states colleges and universities amount to government censorship, in violation of the Constitution” (2).Though the First Amendment grants us the freedom of speech including such hate speech, as mentioned by the ACLU, restrictions should be applied in the form of speech codes. Notable professors, Richard Delgado and Mari Matsuda, agree that hate speech obstructs on one's personal rights. I, too, agree with this assertion because hate speech creates a hostile environment for students, causes a decline in the enrollment of minority groups, speech codes are a better solution.

Bullying is the unwanted, aggressive behavior or gestures among school children that involves in the form of either real or perceived unequal power or influence to control or harm others which are committed repeatedly over time. It is the negative acts that are carried out against students repeatedly over a certain amount of time. Bullying had become a serious concern in many schools and it had spun rapidly out of control more and more as before it may seem as a part of children growing up but that is not the case anymore. Bullying had become so serious and distressing to those that are being picked on to a breaking point that they had taken their own life to escape such hurtful form of youth violence and social degrading.

Take the standpoint of a student, student freedom is an element of Academic Freedom, but it doesn't just express specifically to its freedom in the classroom. It encourages students to discuss, express, and evaluate on an academic basis, not on opinions or conduct in matters unrelated to academic standards. It is questionable whether or not students should act on demands. Leadership matters, they have to face emotionally evocative symbolic and narrative disputes and take on opposing views. Today's student movements is not alleged intolerance or immaturity." Students should be free to take reasoned exception to the data or views offered in any course of study

Every day, millions of people wake up afraid of bullies. Bullying can happen anywhere, anytime. Bullying is a big issue these days, and bullies’ actions are very unpredictable.
