Within our society today I’ve noticed that we have a lot of flaws that have shaped our world in a negative way. Starting from our children to the people in the working fields in our lives. For starters we today, love to observe one another and single ourselves off into groups of people such as the preps or the jocks known in school. Or outside of school they are to be known as the bottom class, middle class, and the top class this is called the status quo. It is to be said that everyone wants to be in the top class meaning that everyone looks up to you and you are known to have a gracious amount of money.

Its bullying and there have been many cases in the society especially in the united states schooling scene such as “Bullying affects nearly one in three American schoolchildren in grades six through 10”(Engel, 2013). These signs of behavior come from a child that has been mistreated in the same way or observed someone else doing such thing to someone else. “Six out of 10 teenagers say they witness bullying in school once a day.”(Engel, 2013).

The association between bullying and obesity was "equally strong" across the spectrum of social skills and academic achievement. Similar trends were seen for children who were overweight, but results did not reach statistical significance. The main reason we were uncertain that there would be an association between obesity and bullying is that obesity is so much more common now — in some communities, 1 out of 4 children is obese — so obese children are not really outliers anymore, which is why we asked, is the association between obesity and bullying really true,"(Harrison, 2010). Which is concerning the factors of if we
