Big Bad Bully Today client number 9302015 came into the Salinas County Psychology Center. His name was Joe Martin also known as Curley. Joe is 40 years old and married. He is also financially stable. His social and family history doesn't have a lot of background because he refused to tell me lots about it. Since he is mean and angry towards others he said that he doesn't have much of a family except for his dad who really isn't around him very much. He has a wife, but he doesn't really care for her. He said he tells her to stay in the house and not to interact with others. When he was questioned why, he remained silent. His background on his medical and mental health history has more information when we discussed this topic. He …show more content…
The likely causes of this condition are from family issues, having or wanting power and social issues. An example of Joe’s family issues is his lack of family comfort and socialization. Joe is most likely angry all the time because he doesn't have much of a family to talk to and be around. In addition, it is also stated in “Why Do People Bully?” that, “Families that are not warm and loving and in which feelings are not shared are more likely to have children who bully.” Since Joe doesn't have much of a family to share his thoughts and feelings with, he bullies people to get rid of the pain he feels. Joe feels all this pain inside and has no one to talk to, so instead of relaxing, all the anger builds up and he explodes. An example of him wanting power is when he says, “I’m goin’, I’m gonna shoot the guts outta that big bastard myself, even if I only got one hand.”( Steinbeck 98) This determines Joe’s want for power because George suggested that he stayed with his wife but instead he decides to leave her. He doesn't care about his wife he just cares about being the best, most powerful person in the world. He doesn't feel any sympathy for what just happened to his wife, he just wants to kill Lennie. An example of social issues is Joe wants to be the best person and wants to rule over everyone and because of this people don't like to talk to him because he is angry and stuck-up. For instance, “Bullying often appears to come with no negative consequences for the culprits.”(Coloroso) This shows that since no one talks to Joe, when he bullies people he doesn't get punished for it, people just let it go. Joe feels as if he can get away with anything because people are scared of him. All in all the causes of Joe’s diagnosis of Anger Management Syndrom are family issues, wanting power, and social
During a scene, Kenny is reaching out to his brother is when mysteriously, Larry the bully “has stolen Kenny’s gloves and Byron attacks the boy. “Right away you begin to feel sorry for Larry Dunn because he’s this poor kid who’s got no more than a windbreaker in the winter, and his tennis shoes have cardboard in them” (Curtis and Morgan 203). Once Byron attains the gloves he urges on for Kenny to hit Larry, yet Kenny is not up to violence. Kenny regrets telling his brother to help him because he takes it a step further fighting the less fortunate kid, Larry Dunn. Fighting at school is not something to be proud of, yet Byron did not have any remorse. “African-American boys are more likely to be punished for misbehavior at school (Gregory,
Bully (2001) is a movie based on a true story about a group of rebellious, yet naïve teens who conspire to exact ultimate revenge on a mutual friend. In a twist, unlike most, this movie highlights not only extent of bullying amongst peers, but details the ultimate revenge that would irrevocably change the lives of the entire group. The movie takes place in South Florida where Marty, a high school dropout, and Bobby are “alleged” best friends. As they set out to meet up with mutual friends Ali and Lisa for a double date the bully is immediately apparent as Bobby begins to verbally torment Marty, which quickly turns physical as he repeatedly punches Marty while he is driving for accidently swerving. Although, Marty stops the car and retaliates,
Peter Dickinson, a 28-year-old Caucasian male was referred to an outpatient mental health clinic by his current girlfriend of one year, Ashley. Ashley reported that about six months ago, she noticed changes in Peter’s behaviors after the announcement of his parents’ divorce proceedings. Peter is a motivated hard worker who devotes himself to his career and is currently working as a defense attorney at a small firm. However, he described himself as “obsessive” about his work in which he was afraid to make errors and would spend a lot of time worrying about failing the assignment rather than completing it. Since he spends a lot of time worrying about his work, he had little leisure time for friends and romantic relationships. Peter has also always felt anxious and is a “worrier”. After Peter’s parents’ divorce proceedings began, Peter had troubl...
My client which I will refer to as Martin, is a 12 year old Hispanic male that was referred by his mother for have problems controlling his anger, poor self-esteem, and poor social skills. The client when I did his assessment was very timid and shy with myself. The answers I was getting from him were very short and straight to the point. I had little knowledge of this age group but I did know a little about him before he came in from the conversation I had with his mother. Growing up his biological father verbally, mentally, and physically abused him. His step-father after his mother remarried, was also abusive during that married. Now the most current step-father is the opposite of them, that he is loving and caring towards Martin. Martin all he has known growing up is getting hit for anything he did that was
As a bully there are a lot of things that are done out of anger or any emotions. As the story progressed more and more ways of bullying popped up mainly in the characters who were the bad
As a young man growing up, I have had my share of hardships and difficulties with bullies and being bullied. My personal experiences of bulling started early in middle school and continued throughout junior high and high school. Given a small frame and statue, classmates would often create pranks targeting me. The pranks didn’t the start out as f bulling; name calling started early on my school career. Names such as four eyes, studderbox, nerd, mute, Steve Urkel, were just some of the many names I endured while in school. Entering high school as a freshmen was one of the most enjoyable and traumatic times as a young man. Going into high school with a new attitude, I thought the bulling was over. By the second week of school, I found myself being bullied by another classmate. This classmate used intimidation and threats to do physical harm if I ever told anyone. The bulling started becoming more public by being ridiculed by others. My self esteem became low and I developed a shell of myself. I would beat myself up after being bullied, hitting walls and door as if it was the bully. One day a coach came to ask me if I would be interested in seeing what high school wrestling consisted of. I instantly fell in love with wrestling but had underlined motives of learning moves to use on others such as my bullies.
Ethically and therapeutically building a relationship with Joe is important. All consents should be explained prior to signing, confidentiality should be addressed, and a warm, empathetic, and compassionate environment should be provided. All records are to be kept in an orderly fashion and moral and ethical values should be followed (American Psychological Association (APA), 2010). This is essential to initiating treatment with any client, especially one that has major depression with suicidal ideations; moreover, this relationship should be nourished with trust, honesty, as well as maintains the ethical and moral requirements of the American Psychological Association. This professionalism and trust will be vital to a working relationship with honesty from Joe, as well as his willingness to be honest, and open himself up to another individual, especially a
Have you ever been teased? Maybe even pushed around like a rag doll? Bullying is a nationwide problem. It affects people of all ages. About 90% of 4th through 8th graders have experienced bullying in the U.S.. Bullying has caused many issues, such as depression, anxiety, or even suicide. Nevertheless, even in bullying you have players, or roles you could say. Dealing with bullying is a very hard thing to do, but with each role in a bullying situation, there are dragons to slay. In every bullying situation you have three players; the bully, the victim, and the bystander.
As I was walking the campus of my high school before school, I was pretty much left alone by the other students. I entered the math building to go to my first class and was inundated by a flood of people meandering about. As I attempted to make my way through the crowd, they parted before me, providing unobstructed room to pass. I looked at the faces of hundreds of students as each of them avoided making eye contact, trying not to draw attention to themselves. The one person who looked me in the eye, quickly looked away, but it was too late; I had found my next victim. He was a half-back on the football team, weighing about 180 pounds and was over 6’ tall. None of this mattered to me; nobody could beat me in a fight, I have been doing this for a very long time. Brent Staples talks about intimidation and fear in his essay “Just Walk on By”, in which he states that “Many things go into the making of a young thug.” My childhood is a testament to this statement. My father deliberately trained me to be able to defend myself, both physically and mentally in an effort to prepare me from the harshness of life; my brothers taught me the joy of fighting, as well as intimidation tactics. Bullies are not spontaneously created out of thin air; they are the result of many years, sometimes generations, of abuse, whether physical, emotional, or psychological. Often, you can blame their upbringing, but ultimately, the final decision is theirs.
In the mid 1940’s bullying still occurred it just was not involved in media as it is now. Today we have bullying all over the internet through phones and other devices of technology, back then technology did not exist bullying was done either in person or behind that persons back. People tend to think just because it was not known of back then that it did not happen. This is not the case, now it just happens more often. The reason it is heard about more is because of the stress level kids reach they commit suicide. Bullying in the world today is a lot more severe than it used to be; it affects children emotionally, and physically; this is compared to how bullying was showed in Lord of The Flies.
The concept of standing up for myself had been something I’d put off many years after becoming a bully victim, but it wasn’t until the death of my friend Samuel that the reality of the issue arose.
(Topic Sentence) Bullies harass other students for many purposes, but none of these reasons are justified. (Surprising Statement) Each year in the U.S., 3.2 million students are tormented, with 160,000 of them skipping school due to it. Clearly, our school districts are not doing a substantial job of keeping students safe to allow them to earn the education they deserve. (Background Information) For example, Jamie Nabozny was harassed for his sexual orientation. Jamie was beaten to the point where he was forced to go to the hospital, after which the tormentor said (CRAFT)“If you tell anyone, I’ll kill you.” He ran away multiple times to avoid going to school, and even attempted to commit suicide. (Thesis Statement) In the Bullied documentary, it tells a story showing why no student deserves to be bullied for any reason and that the school district must protect their students.
