Toxic Loserdom Research Paper

“Researchers found that middle and high school students who bully their peers or are bully-victims (bully others and are also bullied) are more likely than students who aren’t involved in bullying to use alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana, (Harding, stopbullying.gov). With the problems in American teens and adults suffering with bullying and addiction, it seems that although there have been multiple attempts towards preventing both bullying and addiction, not many have been effective, however, which should be more focused on: bullying or addiction? In two Ted Talks, Texting That Saves Lives and A Simple Way to Break a Bad Habit, the speakers both suggest a way to prevent bullying and addiction throughout teens and adults. Nancy Lublin, in Texting That Saves Lives, reveals the invention of a text-only crisis line, which allows teenagers suffering from bullying, abuse, self-harm, addiction, etc., to comfortably text the hotline in order to seek the help they want and need. On the other hand, in A Simple Way to Break a Bad Habit, Judson Brewer gives a straightforward idea for addiction users to be “curious” and to genuinely focus on what they are consuming to realize the damage they are doing to their body in order to slowly stop their addiction, as well as instructing others to change the way they view people with addiction and to get them help rather than judging them. While both speakers, Nancy and Judson have simple ways of preventing their topic, Nancy's solution is a

While growing up it is easy to believe a lot of things but there are somethings that a person has to choose if they want to continue to believe them or not. For instance, I have seen people belittle boys because they cry or feel sad. I have watched the people who I am close to doing this. Those people believe that it is unmanly for a boy to show their emotional side and see it as a flaw. I also used to be one of those people that believed this. I've had a change of heart after we after witnessing how it way of thinking affected others.

“Dealing with backstabbers, there was one thing I learned. They're only powerful when your back is turned.” - Eminem If I treated you, the way you treated me. You would hate me. Hatred is a really, really extreme factor in our world. I am going to introduce Hatred not only just in the Holocaust, but also in life today, and how much there is in this world. Hatred is a deep and emotional extreme dislike.

Based on Dandy Mott’s personality, some environmental factors, that we noticed was that Dandy is very short tempered, immature, and acts out when he doesn't get his way, as mentioned in the background section. When he acts out, this results in positive reinforcements from his mother. So, whenever he starts to act out because he doesn’t get what he wants, his mother complies, does and/or gives him whatever he wants, that way he doesn’t act out again. Eventually, this strengthens Dandy’s hostile behavior, his desire to kill/hurt someone. He definitely has some parent-child relationship problems because he only accepts his mother when she does what he says or when she gives him what he wants, other than that, he always yells at her and tells her

A mother, digging for cans and plastic to sell, wipes the sweat running down her face. The drops finish as they fall into the dirt and rubbish masking the ground. Her black and unkempt hair is tangled into a bun, with a straw sunhat atop her head, in an attempt to shield her sunburned face. Where did she find the old rags covering her frail body? She frees a pair of torn children’s jeans, from the mountains of garbage, and shoves them in a bag at her side.

Whenever I am given an assignment about bullying I cringe. However, it is not because it pains me to discuss an experience, but rather that I have never been able to slot myself into one of the three broad roles of bullying continuously taught to us at school: the bully, the bystander and the victim.  Based on these umbrella terms I could fully consider myself a victim, but that is absolutely not how I would like to be known.  Calling myself a victim makes me seem so pitiful and weak; whereas I like to view myself as resilient. Although I was never popular, I was part of the pack in primary school.  In grade 5, soon after being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, I rushed home wanting to switch schools after having been told that it was disgusting

I am going to talk about my rant. My rant is about bullies/bullying. Not only males can be bullies, females can be bullies as well. Bullies will pick on others to feel better about themselves because they do not receive as much attention at home. The victims of bullying are socially vulnerable since they have some characteristics that make them different from the majority.

I've said this several times in this blog, but I really want to make it clear by writing an entire article on the subject.

Emotionally tainted opinions are worthy of respect, and should be accepted as much as factual opinions but only after emotions aren’t running high. Not all factually set opinions are necessarily correct; some could be morally wrong. A few emotionally based opinions do have some facts behind them; it’s just that the other “opinion” is more accepted. A lot of people were brought up on emotional opinions and that’s what they strongly support, so they might overlook the facts. Emotionally biased opinions should be accepted as much as factual opinions.

“Charity begins at home”, I remember these words growing up in a house with my grandmother and great grandmother. Granny stressed these words every day, and if you weren’t listening you would definitely find out the consequences one way or another. Well, like most youth her words went in one ear, and out the other. I didn’t know what charity was; neither did half the people I hung out with back then.

Did anyone put down anything having to do with bitterness? You see, the fact is that God gives us a spirit of forgiveness. Now, you may be thinking to yourself that I’m fixing to tell you how I never was unforgiving towards someone who was rude to me, but instead I want to say that I have struggled with this and it’s not to late to forgive. Bitterness is a slow and deadly poison. The opposite of bitterness is strength. Perhaps you know what strength is and you want to talk about strength right now, but you can’t because I’m talking about bitterness. You see, some people in my life have made me feel bad about myself and tear me of all of my self-confidence. Don’t feel bad about me or anything, I just have. I’ve considered doing things that
