The topic of bullies is one that has concerned parents and schools for almost as long as schools have been around, but the real question is who should dispense with this serious dilemma of our children getting harassed the school or the parents? It is time for schools to step up to the bat and dispense of this serious problem of our children getting tormented in and out of class by other pupil. It is time for schools to step up to the bat and dispense of this serious problem of our children getting tormented in and out of class by other pupil. Learning institutes should be cutting the problem of bullying down from the roots instead of deserting it and letting this mess appear into the bullied child’s personal live at home. Not letting the problem develop will prevent many mishaps from occurring in the future.
I completely believe schools should be the one intervening in the problem not the parents. Parents aren’t with their children during school hours so for they aren’t responsible if there child is getting bullied because from personal experience I would know the parents wo...
In school systems today bullying is only talked about as being wrong or not tolerated. No one does anything about a bully until someone has committed suicide, tried to commit suicide, or has taken matters into their own hands violently. Administrators, teachers, and parents should pay closer attention to prevent the bullying that happens right in front of them.
Bullying has been escalating to a certain degree that it has affected as many as 160,000 students that reported staying home from school every day, because they were afraid of being bullied (www.stompoutbullying.org). Bullying does not only stops one from wanting to go to school, it also makes one feel anxious, insecure, and unhappy at school, isolated and at times severely depressed (Young, Shin Kim, and Leventhal). Schools must have better resources available to students; this includes the victim and the bully. The victim should have both better counseling and stricter laws to protect them. Bullies also need counseling due to research which states “that many bullies tend to come from families where parents are more physically/emotionally aggressive or where other type’s family problems exist” (Schwartz, Dodge, Petit, and Bates) and stricter laws as well to protect from neglect or abuse within their family. Better protection and counseling need to be enforced to help stop bullying because it causes emotional and psychological damage to the victims.Bullying has always been around in schools. Korean scholar Hyojin Koo wrote of a twelve year old boy at King’s School in Cambridge who died of a bullying incident in 1885. Later a former student of the school wrote “a favourite habit of some of the elder boys was to link arms and rush down the long corridor at the top of their speed, and woe betides any unfortunate youngster” (Quoted in Ibid p.7). The taunts, teasing and violence were just considered being part of a normal childhood. “The first scientific paper on bullying was published in 1897, when Norwegian researcher Fredric Burkes “Teasing and Bullying/ explored why children bully, what effects bullying had on victims and how bul...
There is a great chance that there are some problems at school that children get, it can be a fighting, vandalism, or bullying. We know that bullying is the biggest problem in school, there are a lot of news on TV or newspaper that tell about bullying. Bullying can happen because the bully wants to avenge his/her experienced. Bullying can occur because of many things, and someone wheter at school or home must act to reduce the bullying. Actually, bullying can have bad effects to the children’s psycologically and mentality.
There is a belief among parents and adults in general that if bullies are ignored they will stop bullying; others think that bullying is an inevitable phase of childhood that will pass (Betiniz, 2006). Some people think that all children must ‘learn to stand up for themselves ' since that’s what is expected in the ‘the real’ world (Betiniz, 2006). Bullying is not a new problem for schools, since it has been present for a long time; however, only in recent years is its importance being recognized (Betiniz, 2006).
Have you ever bullied or been bullied? If you have bullied or been bullied then you should know how bullying feels like. Bullying is very negative and creates major problems for our society. Nothing good comes out of bullying. It could very well change or ruin a person’s life. In fact, it does ruin many people’s lives. Kids can be mentally scarred if they are teased often. Even worse, they could be killed or fatally injured if the bullying gets extreme. There are many causes for bullying which must be taken care of before bullying can be stopped. T.V. violence, families in poverty, and mis-teachings are just several of the many serious causes for bullying. Bullying must be stopped or prevented no matter how long it will take, it is a deeply concerning matter.
When it comes to the fact that it changes someone’s personality or if the person does not want to go to school anymore because of it then it’s a problem. I think that this needs to be handled right away, I do not believe that all schools take this as serious as it is. Teachers are given guidelines on how to deal with, report and stop bullying. But many kids today still get bullied in places that teachers are not, for instance when kids ride the bus to and from school. Walking home from the bus or school where there is usually not an adult or authority figure
My position on schools having policies where parents are held responsible for their children’s behavior is that holding the parents responsible does not help prevent bullying.When you hold the parent responsible it doesn’t make the child take responsibility for their own actions.In order to make a child realize that they have done wrong you need to give them their own punishment. Usually when you hold the child responsible they will realize what they done wrong and correct their actions. Here are some reasons for why I hold this position on this subject.
Bullying has been a part of schooling for as long as children have been congregating. To some it seems like a natural, though uncomfortable, part of life and school experience, while to others it can mean terrifying experiences which spoiled and characterized otherwise happy years in school. Dan Olweus, a pioneer in bully behavior research documented that 2.7 million children are affected as victims, and that 2.1 children act as bullies (Fried, 1997, as cited in Aluedse, 2006). With bullying cited as the reason for violent, gun-related crime in the past few years, school districts as well as national governments have put anti-bullying policies in place. Bullying is a complicated phenomenon, involving more than one child demanding lunch money from a smaller child. It is a worldwide epidemic hitting schools everywhere. Virtually everyone has seen or experienced bullying. With technological advances, bullying is even hitting the internet. Parents, teachers, students and governments agencies alike are attempting to put a stop to bullying practices.
In this country, every child has a right to go to school and receive an education; in fact, it is compulsory. Research shows that students who are bullied have higher drop-out rates and lower grades. When the bullying is in the form of cyber-bullying, the school
Although forty-seven states in the United States have passed legislations against bullying in schools, many Americans agree that these legislations have not made meaningful contributions to solving the problem. In an effort to provide effective solutions to stop bullying in schools, many people point fingers. Some individuals rightfully claim that students who are bullied at school are denied their right to equal protection under the fourteenth amendment. Some others make a compelling argument that schoolteachers and administrators are not taking firm enough action to stop bullying. However, while a community effort is essential to the solution, preventing bullying is largely the responsibility of parents. Schoolteachers, school administrators, students, and most of all parents need to be educated about bullying and how they should address the behavior appropriately.
Bullying is something that is not something new and is actually something that society continues to face. Over the years, bullying has been looked at as being so ordinary in schools that it is continuously overlooked as an emanate threat to students and has been lowered to a belief that bullying is a part of the developmental stage that most young children will experience then overcome (Allebeck, 2005, p. 129). Not everyone gets over the extreme hurt that can come as an effect from bullying, for both the bully and the victim. Because of this, we now see bullying affecting places such as the workplace, social events and even the home. The issue of bullying is not only experienced in schools, but the school environment is one of the best places
“Researchers have conducted that at least 25% of all children will be affected by bullying at some point during their school years, and many of these children miss significant numbers of school days each year owing to fear of being bullied” (Bray, M., Kehle, T., Sassu, K. (2003). Bullying has become a major problem for our students and our schools. Children are missing educational time and are losing self-confidence because they are afraid or intimidated by other students. We, as teachers, need to reduce bullying in our schools and prevent bullying from being a reoccurring issue in the lives of our students in order for them to learn, grow and develop. Our goal as teachers should be “to reduce as much as possible-ideally to eliminate completely- existing bully/victim problems in and out of the school setting and to prevent the development of new problems” (Olweus, D. (1993).
Did you know that 1 out of 3 students are bullied? Albert Einstein once said, “the world is a dangerous place; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.” Bullying had cause many kids to take their life. Some have scarred them for life. Bullying is wrong and if seen should be help and stop immediately. in this article I was describe how to spot a bully, how to stop a bully and, how to prevent and help the bully.
Teacher should spend more time to the bullies and find the reason; find solution to help victims in bullying
In recent times bullying has become a national issue, notwithstanding the fact that it has been in existence for many years. Traditionally, bullying has been seen as horseplay, but with the increase of harassment in schools and suicides; parents and schools are now forced to take action to prevent bullying in schools. Bullying is an unwanted, aggressive behavior that involves a real or perceived power imbalance which has the potential to be repeated over time. Strategies to prevent bullying in schools are grouped into identifying the causes of bullying, creating policies and rules, building a safe environment and educating students and staff.
