    Buddy’s sense of right from wrong is strong to begin with, thanks to a foundation in the Boy Scouts and idolization of the Wonderful Weiner man. At the tender age of nine Buddy is a proud member of the Boy Scouts, but his troop is a typical set of third-grade bullies. While waiting for the Weiner Man, the troop picks on a mentally-challenged boy, but a nerdy member of the troop protests. His protest is followed by Buddy’s request to “Leave him alone”; this shocks his troop out of bullying the boy (Perrotta 7). This small act of standing up for Kazoo shows that Buddy is compassionate and knows right from wrong; but this act is comical and ironic because immediately following his righteous defense, he lets his troop beat up the nerd without saying a word. So begins Buddy’s first steps towards following the wrong crowd. According to WebMD, children may be naturally equipped with an “inner strength,” or “resilience,” which allows them to appropriately handle “stressful situations” (WebMD). Buddy has that inkling of inner strength, but due to his pa...

    Most acts of bullying are dealt with, but not always in the correct way of doing so. Bullying Policies in many schools state that bullying is not tolerated and has consequences that will be used if bullying occurs. However, Jodi draws our attention to the issue that not all schools have a policy that states the consequences of bullying and practically just tells the victim to fight back and stand up for himself. This generally makes things worse for the victim by allowing the bully think that the victim is trying to "embarrass" the bully. With repeated attacks on one, it will have him/her believe they are either "useless" or think that they have to do something to prevent the next attacks, and this may not always be pretty or the "right" way. The results of these intense, repeated attacks can cause the victim Just like this book, shootings are a result of bullying, derogation, and ignorance and end ultimately end with many

    But there are some I shall refer to. For the “parents” or “teachers” who believe that bullying is there to make someone stronger or more emotionally fit. For the “Kids” who believe that bullying is a day to day normal thing. For the “victims” who believe Bullying will make you strong, well let me say, it will not. For instance, Adults who say it will make One stronger, It is opposing my view because I would rather want it to stop it than to let it be a ongoing issue in society. As for Kids who think it’s good to be bullied and to experience the whole reality, it goes against my belief because these are opinions about you in a negative way.

  • The Making of a Young Bully

    1298 Words  | 3 Pages

    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.

    However, school became much more difficult and not as enjoyable when Alex started bullying him. Although he was not physically bullied too much, he was still negatively affected because of Alex’s harmful words and actions. The biggest stresses in high school should be turning in homework, studying for tests, and planning for the upcoming dances and events. A student should not have to panic whenever walking down the hall. They should be greeted with “Hellos” and smiles rather than violent shoves into a locker and being called names. Because of bullies, the victims are left feeling worthless and scared. They may even fear coming to school every day. The long term effects are just as negative as the short term effects though.
