Code of conduct in schools are rights for students and faculty to follow and obey, listing many different types of severity and what discipline should be given.

In the case of Phoebe Prince where her own school did not have a code of conduct and her death was a way for Massachusetts to finally have a code of conduct because before it was one of nine states without a law against bullying or schools to regulate it. After all that had passed teachers and administrators had to undergo training to be able to recognize and respond to bullying. Phoebe Prince was the new girl at South Hadley High School she was a freshman Phoebe was a young girl very beautiful Irish background and was very quickly popular every boy at school wanted to talk to her and even girls envied her.

Soon her popularity began to turn into her worst nightmare always called horrible names and started not to be as a bright person she was once. Friends watched her cry and called names became bystanders did not speak up when Phoebe was speaking up and teachers were not paying attention thinking it was just a waste of time. She was followed and even the boy she had once dated bullied her. No one knew what was going on with Phoebe and was not able to detect it but Phoebe was bullied to her death.

Even after Phoebe’s death hatred people still bullied a girl after her death, posting pictures of her making fun of them and so many others commenting she deserved
... people hear of a child committing suicide because of bullying, they think of how devastating it must’ve been for him/her, but it never seems to cross our minds that bullies need to have a voice too so their side of the story can be heard. It’s hard to believe, but many bullies have been victims themselves or have had to deal with personal issues which makes them feel the need to use this defense mechanism that thrusts the knife farther and deeper than what was coming at them. No matter the reason, they all deserve to be forgiven, accepted by society, and treated more fairly by standards that we don’t understand. Therefore we have to give everyone flexibility in their choices. Let them experience bullying, let them decide on their own what is right and what is wrong, and let them choose on their own terms of what they’ve learned whether change is even a good thing.
T.H. White's novel The Once and Future King presents a code of chivalry that outlines the expected knightly behavior of the time. This particular code stresses loyalty to one's liege, love and respect toward women, and absolute devotion to justice. At the height of Arthur's kingdom, this code was widely accepted by all. However, as Arthur's kingdom begins to decline, the code of chivalry begins to hold less importance among the people. The fall of Arthur's kingdom is directly related to the absence of the code of chivalry in the behavior of the Knights of the Round Table. Sir Lancelot betrays Arthur when he has an adulteress affair with Guenever. Sir Lancelot also disrespects women when he leaves Elaine to be with Guenever in Camelot. King Arthur himself is disloyal to justice when he allows Guenever to be rescued by Lancelot.

My friend, Kevin, was just two short months away from graduating high school, but he never got to see that day because of bullies. No one had a clue; he had a remarkable family and a great group of friends. He did everything he could to leave a smile on everyone’s face, and he earned the nickname, “Cheeks,” because of his huge, friendly smile. No one understood why such a cheerful person would want to take his own life, but it was because bullies harassed him for months, and no one knew. According to the Center for Disease Control, “Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people, resulting in about 4,400 deaths per year” (Bullying and Suicide). Bullying is an ongoing issue that seems to evolve rapidly, and the world of
The professional standards commission for school districts develop and implement specific standards for all educators to abide by in alignment with its mission, vision and goals. The Code of Ethics framework outlines the conduct or behavior educations are expected to exhibit at all times. It protects the welfare (health and safety) of students as educators interact directly with students and pertinent student information. The Code of Ethics framework holds educators accountable and it conveys the sanctions for unethical conduct. The Code of Ethics for Georgia educators consists of eleven standards. The standards are as follows:
Suicide due to bullying has been given the name of bullycide. One example of bullycide would be Jon Carmichael from Texas who was bullied so harshly that “one day they stripped him naked, tied him up, and stuck him in a trash can, and they taped it with their cell phones and put it all on You Tube” per his mother’s account (Texas Monthly, Hollandsworth). A few days later Jon was found hanging by a rafter from their barn after committing suicide. The perpetrators of this abuse were his fellow classmates and it is reported that “60% of boys who bullied others in middle school had at least one criminal conviction by the age of 24; 40% had three or more convictions” (van der Valk, 41). Bullying behavior not only negatively affects the victims that are singled out and tormented, but from a legal perspective can lead to long term criminal

A young girl leaves her home and right when she walks out the door, she wanted to turn right back around. She knows it will be a bad day. Every day is a bad day. The fragile girl continues on the whole day all while anticipating returning home. At last, the end of the day arrives! She quickly walks out of school with her head down and tries not to bring attention to herself. They spot her and start to stare with a smirk that is so knowing. The comments and names start to roll off their tongues. She begins to walk faster and faster away until she is at a full sprint with tears streaming down her face. This is just one example of many ways verbal bullying happens. People don't understand that it can hurt
Bullying pushes people to believe that suicide is the only way out. Many teens have chosen suicide over obtaining support or telling someone. Some examples would be Nicole Dagan, Megan Meier, and Sydney Sanders. They all were bullied in different ways, but they all came to the same conclusion. They felt that suicide was the best way to end it all.
Some bullies may argue like murders that it was not intentionally, but it transpires. Also, like murders a person may end their life because they may feel terrified that there is no freedom from the act and no purpose to live. The impolite words cyber bullies use and put out on social media is accessible to the whole world, which can ruin victim’s reputation and cause them to be hated by others. Even if the cruel comments and rumors are removed it still will not change anything because most likely other people have already recited and chatted about it with friends. Suicide rates among 10 to 14-year-olds have grown more than 50 percent over the last three decades. (Bullycide, 1) As a kid and teenager, younger years are years where the fun and enjoyment of life should be.

Students are the main individuals affected by the honor code itself, so they should have a say in how it works. In an article by Jennifer Dirmeyer and Alexander Cartwright titled “Honor Codes Work Where Honesty Has Already Taken Root.” the honor code is handled by an all-student court which confirms that the involvement of students aids in the effectiveness of the honor code itself: “With a peer-enforced honor code, the likelihood of being caught depends on other students' tolerance for cheating. Students who enter a college of mostly "honest" types will more often choose not to cheat even if they are innately "cheater" types, because the higher risk of getting caught makes the costs greater.” By having a student-lead honor code system, students follow the honor code earnestly because they may have more respect for their peers. Students are more inclined to respect their peers, even if they don’t know each other because they are often the same age and it is easier for them to relate to each other. If it were a teacher-lead honor code system, it might not be as effective due to teachers needing to first gain the students’ respect, which is not always an easy task to accomplish. Donald McCabe and Gary Pavela, in an article titled “New Honor Codes for a New Generation” write about what is crucial in effectively reducing cheating and
The bullying and harassment that occurs between these students should not only be up to the parents to deal with, but also up to the school districts. Afterall, parents expect that the students are partially under the school’s protection and responsibility. When the bullying continues outside of school, and personal information is exposed for others to see on social media, it is still up to the district to set the consequences for its students. Because most cases of cyberbullying start at schools, it is nearly impossible for students to avoid the bullies’ torment throughout the day. As for the consequences, a school district’s Code of Conduct must also consider the former record of these bullies and anyone else who is involved. The severity of each student’s punishment shall be partially determined by his or her history of previous misbehavior or faulty actions. In a digital pile on for example, a student may only post a small comment in agreement with a previous post but will still receive the minimal of a written referral and a phone call home, letting the parents know why such measures had to be taken. If the reported bully continues to bother the victim, whether it is in person or through social media services, the consequences will be more harsh for each known violation until expulsion is the only answer. The current Code of Conduct does
Many people in our world believe that they have the authority to determine someone else 's worth. In our society, people are being called degrading and horrible things constantly. This is known as bullying. Bullying is defined as unwanted or aggressive behavior towards an individual that is usually repeated over time. The way someone views themselves is important to their character and way of life. If a person is constantly told that they are "ugly" or "worth nothing", it might shape them into what they see in the mirror on a daily basis. Dark thoughts that result from bullying can lead to a dark way of life and even suicidal thoughts. Bullying should be a crime because it can lead to depression and suicide in some cases.
People actually believe that words can 't harm you. There are even people that have faith that the victims even deserve it. "Bullying will make kids tougher", or "It 's only teasing", I 've actually heard those words before. There are ones who have the opinion that bullying doesn’t cause someone to take their own lives. They would say "Oh there was something else wrong with that kid other than bullying ' '. People tend to blame it on ' 'mental illness ' '. In fact, there is no scientific evidence that says, bullying causes suicide. That’s why several people believe that bullying doesn’t affect you. People also assume, that if you get harassed there is an explanation behind it, whether it 's what you wear, your skin color, you are a heavy person, or you are an outsider. If you are any of those things, you are most likely asking for it. Additionally, you have the society that doesn’t want to believe that they or their kids are being picked
