Recommended: Conclusion to handling conflict

I see myself taking a stand when something I'm passionate about or someone I care about is being threated. I have had to decide through my life when it is necessary for me to take actions on such. I believe that taking a stand will put you in an awkward situation, but you will be happier that you did so. My friend group in high school was a huge group of 20 something girls. Within this big friend group, there were separate groups, but we were all friends. There were a couple girls in the group that were complete bullies. They would find any reason to pick on each other behind one another's back. The sad part is, no one would stick up for whomever was getting picked on. Although they never talked smack about you to your face, word would

    Firstly, some audiences may say that going against the bully will make the situation more complicated , and the victim should tell an adult instead. What many do not realize is by the time the student can tell the teacher the bully has already attacked the victim. In certain cases, bullying can get physical and the victim does not have an opportunity to notify someone. In this scenario the victim 's best defense against the bully is to stand up against him. Bullying is often defined as using superior strength to torment another being. If the victim was to show that he has the strength as well it could potentially help the victim.

In conclusion, by the victim standing up to the bully, the victim will show the bully the he has strength to fight

    We all need a shoulder to cry on every once in a while. Bullying is happening in schools all across America and teens need to start helping those who need it the most. We need to start taking action and stop being petrified to fight for what we contemplate is right. Nonetheless, I admit that maybe before I lived these instants of bullying with my friend that I would have been fossilized at a time that I needed to take action. It is daunting to stand up to an aggressor that is intimidating. The fear of being a victim yourself can overpower your desire to step in and help. We are prone to protect ourselves and then protect others, but our self comes first. But on the other hand, if one person steps up, the upshot will be that others will follow and the bullying chain will

    One generally noted concept in all of the articles was the taxonomy used for bystanders. The authors utilized the four categorizations of bystanders, established by a previous researcher, in order to study predictors and behaviours of their actions. Bystanders can be grouped as assistants, reinforcers, outsiders or defenders (Oh & Hazler, 2009; Thornberg, 2007; Trach, Hymel, Waterhouse & Neale, 2010). Those who actively support bullying by maintaining the victim for the bully are called assistants (Oh & Hazler, 2009). Less directly involved, are the supporters of bullies who provide positive feedback thus establishing their role as a reinforce...

  • Reflection On Bullying

    1101 Words  | 3 Pages

    As a friend, partner, classmate, family member, etc. you are in a unique position to do something about abuses you see. I strongly believe in order to combat bullying efficiently, is by starting with the bystanders and showing them in their view what it would be like to be the victim in a bullying situation and have them respond how they might want their friends, family, bystanders react and potentially help them. Bystanders react in three ways, watch because they are afraid, encourage the bully, or help the situation in many different ways. Bullying is a major life affecting issue that will be resolved one day and there are steps in achieving this goal which will begin with understanding and addressing the physiological thoughts in the bystanders and just remember, “treat others how you would want to be treated” many people forget this simple way of life. Less conflict results when one shows kindness and understanding. However don 't become ignorant to the issue because it will always be there, but you have the opportunity to make a difference wherever you might be in any situation. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but do not confuse opinion with just unnecessary, hurtful speech because you could really damage someone 's
