1 MY PERSAUSIVE SPEECHMy persuasive speech is going to be about Bullying. Did you know that bully victims are between 2 to 9 times more likely to consider suicide than non-victims, according to studies by Yale University? Or that according to statistics reported by ABC News, nearly 30 percent of students are either bullies or victims of bullying, and 160,000 kids stay home from school every day because of fear of bullying? To this day bullying is still a major problem throughout schools in America. In fact, I was a person that fell victim to bullying. It was a long time ago, but I don't feel I've ever really gotten over it. You can feel it deep in the pit of your stomach just laying there waiting to be publicly humiliated in front of …show more content…
According to a study in 2014 by child trends 13 percent of children ages 2 through 17 experience physical bullying these girls never got in trouble. I decided I was not going back to that school ever. Now, here I am many years later doing my high school course online. Doing this speech has brought up a lot of past feelings. It feels like just yesterday to me. The cafeteria jokes I was always the center of something. I never did figure out why the hated me. This behavior cannot be resolved by kids or their peers, kids and teenagers are supposed to be able to look up to teachers as a source of safety. This was not the case for me and many other people to this day that get bullied. Those girls robbed me of my teenage years, Instead of having pep rallies, late night study groups, boyfriend, prom, Graduation, I lost out and will never get it back. So many other good times with friends I missed out on because I was scared to stand up for myself and felt alone. This behavior of kids is even a problem with adults, most people don't see it that way because parents think their kid will never get bullied or be a bully and parents are in denial that their precious kid wasn't raised that way. People don't realize how much damage bullying causes, that this is mental, psychological and physical abuse. People really do grow up with issues from this, issues like social disorders, low self-esteem, Depression, even as bad as suicide. Bullying teaches you that you can be undesirable or that you are worthless to the earth, which in fact is quite the opposite. The only issues I feel that have stuck around from being bullied is, I always feel like people are judging me and I don't trust people easily. I know I'm in charge of my life. I run it, it doesn't run me. I myself am highly against bullying, as I have stated and even shown proof of the damage it can cause. I do not agree that this behavior shouldgo unpunished it needs to be dealt with fast to shut
Bullying has evolved into a monster with many heads. There are many different types of bullying “traditional bullying is any type of bullying that is carried out through non-electronic means” (Differences between Cyberbullying and Traditional Bullying). Examples of non-electronic bullying are verbal, physical, and social bullying. Traditional bullying is what most parents think of when bullying is proposed. The one question that is usually asked is why? There are many reason why bullying may occur. “Bullies may have underlying psychological factors that contribute to their aggressive behavior or impair their ability to interpret social interactions” (Bullying at School). Bullying can cause another person long or short term problems throughout their whole life. Bullies are also likely to have problems throughout life, such as drug abuse, alcohol abuse, and spouse abuse. Bullying is not only wrong, but inhumane.
JUSTIFICATION: In researching the possibilities that the bite marks can be falsely identified, I found that the analysis is not always an accurate way to identify the suspect, that being said I think that we should reconsider the partial bite mark being used as evidence.

When someone breaks you down over time, telling you you are worthless, pathetic, stupid, ugly, retarded, fat, loser, ect; one may start to think that all this is true. Demeanor changes, the child starts to feel low, and thinks they aren 't good enough. I should know, being bullied wasn 't fun. Being ridiculed for things on a daily basis. Being called names, being hit, degraded is never easy. I started feeling down, I had major depression and anxiety issues. I suffered from migraines for 10-12 hours a day and awful stomach pains every single day for almost two years. My grades started to suffer because I couldn 't concentrate, I was becoming less social and sitting at home more watching the television instead of going outside and having fun. Why? Because I was afraid someone was going to say something to bring me down; and instead of letting them have that chance even more then they already did I decided to slowly decline my way of life. Telling someone that you are bullied isn 't easy; at least for me it wasn 't. You feel so pathetic that you allow someone to treat you so poorly for no good reason. Being bullied ISN 'T an option. You don 't choose if you are bullied or not, and frankly I didn 't choose to be hated for no reason. These other kids in the world didn 't choose to be bullied either and their bully shouldn 't just be treated with a slap on the

Everyone has been bullied or encountered someone being bullied at some point of their life. Whether it would be physically or verbally both can be exceedingly traumatizing and can have a long-term psychological influence on children’s development. Majority people may define bullying in a more physical term; nevertheless that’s not always the case. The act of bullying can occur in several ways and in reality affect the individual in the same way. Bullying is generally defined as repeated, negative, and harmful actions focused at target throughout a course of time, exhibiting a sense of power difference between the bully and the victim (Olweus, 1993; Limber & Mihalic, 1999 as cited from Douglas J. Boyle, 2005). A survey was conducted in the United States estimating that over six million children, about 30% in grade six through ten have experienced frequent bullying in a school environment (Nansel, 2001 as cited from Douglas J. Boyle, 2005). Many people might debate that bullying is something that every child goes through and is simply a part of growing up, although there are several damaging consequences that happens to the child’s brain. Bullying causes the child to feel upset, isolated, frightened, anxious, and depressed. They feel like they reason they are being picked on is because there is something wrong with them and may even lose their confidence feel unsafe going to school (Frenette, 2013 as cited from Douglas J. Boyle, 2005) Anthropologically, sociologically, or psychologically, bullying can be analyzed through different perspectives and several questions can be asked based on the topic:
Bullying can be seen as either pure discrimination against teens, or as a plea against the rough life at home. Some people decide to not say anything because they just feel like it is a waste of time. “I was bullied because of my race, I am Asian, and they used to make me fun of me in class, and the teacher didn’t even say anything and laughed along with the class” (Tiffany). Whereas on the on the other side, you have teenagers who bully to get the stress out from being abused at home. No matter the reason, bullying is not okay, and that is what I am trying to get across.
“Researchers have conducted that at least 25% of all children will be affected by bullying at some point during their school years, and many of these children miss significant numbers of school days each year owing to fear of being bullied” (Bray, M., Kehle, T., Sassu, K. (2003). Bullying has become a major problem for our students and our schools. Children are missing educational time and are losing self-confidence because they are afraid or intimidated by other students. We, as teachers, need to reduce bullying in our schools and prevent bullying from being a reoccurring issue in the lives of our students in order for them to learn, grow and develop. Our goal as teachers should be “to reduce as much as possible-ideally to eliminate completely- existing bully/victim problems in and out of the school setting and to prevent the development of new problems” (Olweus, D. (1993).
Bullying of students in school is an abuse that affects and produces a number of negative experiences on the victim. It is proven that those students who bully do so merely because they see themselves superior than those being bullied. They use this as a tactic to make juniors fear them and show them that they are not equal in any way. Some will even bully as a revenge of the bullying they suffered in the past. I have been bullied before and I know some of the effects it could have on a person. Bullying is a serious cause of many issues and has effects that may be long lasting.
