As said by Zack W. Van, “ Bullying builds character like nuclear waste creates superheroes. It’s a rare occurrence and often does much more damage than endowment.” Acts of verbal and physical abuse can be seen in Bully by Lee Hirsch and Mean Girls by Mark Waters. Bully depicts the stories of individual children dealing with different types of harassment at their schools and Mean Girls showcases fictional examples of bullying going on between people all around high school, especially with the teenage girls. Tropes are always reoccurring in medias almost like a stereotypical element; these films clearly show the classic depiction of a person being bullied to the breaking point, and what happens to the bullies who have caused it.…

A local problem in our community, and many others, is an issue that is not just in the movies. As high school students, teenagers often experience or observe bullying at some time in their four years of schooling. The problem persists online and behind a screen. The stereotypical image of a “bully” is a big mean peer that might ask for an underclass men’s lunch money. This is not the case in our day and age.…
Everyone has probably heard a story about some sort of criminal, such as a thief or even a murderer. These two types of criminals, and some other types, all have descriptive traits in common. One of these traits includes pain to others. This pain could be emotional or physical. Being robbed of their money, valuables, or even their life can leave the victims and their family emotionally unstable.…
When children are bullied they have a risk to develop health problems, “ Bully- victims have been found to have the greatest risk of psychological and psychosomatic symptoms, suicidal ideation, school and interpersonal dysfunction, externalizing behavioral problems and alcohol use” (Yen.2014). Children should not have to feel this way from their peers, but the sad thing is this happens everyday. When this happens the bullied become the bully and continue the cycle of abuse. Since victor bullies the monster and constantly rejects him the monster develops suicidal tendencies and he develops suicidal tendency;s and starts to hate himself, “... my form is a filthy type of yours more horrid even from the very resemblance. Satan had his companions, fellow devils, to admire and encourage him, but I am solitary and abhorred” (Shelley, 1994).…
Juveniles being sentenced in adult court is becoming more of a common issue in today’s society with such crimes as murder being committed by the youth. This has lead people to believe that they should be sentenced in adult court, in order to scare or prevent the juvenile form attempting to commit the crime again. Sentencing juveniles to adult court does not justify a reason for them committing the crime again or violent acts. Juveniles differ from adults, in the way that they are not developed as an adult that commits a crime which he might be more aware of what he is doing rather than young juveniles. I believe that juveniles have a higher chance of being rehabilitated for that reason teens should not be tried in adult court rather in a juvenile…
This summer, I did quite a lot of activities, including attending a summer camp, saw movies, and read books. First, I attended a summer camp Westfield provided for band students. The band director gave us music options, as well as asked us for requested. We would attempt to play those songs and the select our favorite pieces. After a week of practicing, comes the final concert, which family members and friends could attend.…
Bullying: An American Epidemic A recent study defined bullying as, “A type of behavior intended to harm or disturb the victim--it occurs repeatedly over time and involves an imbalance of power, with the more-powerful person or group assailing the less-powerful one. Bullying may be physical, involving hitting or otherwise attacking another person; verbal, involving name-calling or threats; or psychological, involving spreading rumors or excluding a person. (Professional Safety)” In addition, a different study bullying this year proved that bullying has severe health effects.…

One of the many issues adolescence face in today’s society is bullying. This problem is very important and real around the world. In the book Health Issues Today Bullying, the author states, “Bulling is an imbalance of power where the bully has greater power than the victim. The bully intentionally abuses his or her power o hurt the victim” (Kuykendall, 2012). In recent years, bullying has caused suicides among adolescence around the United States.…
To better understand why bullying is still an issue, there are numerous components that are linked to bullying that need to be identified and explained. Two cultural beliefs and biases that may influence bullies are ethnicity and religion. Often times, society confuses ethnicity and race. One can have only belong to one race but can belong to multiple ethnic groups.…
In order to truly understand the impact of this moment on my life, you will have to make an attempt at putting yourself in my shoes. In the case of this narrative, the shoes you will be squeezing into will be a size 8.5, and those of a racially ambiguous pseudo-adult with relatively large hair. Throughout the span of my eighteen years of life, I have viewed the quandary that is my mixed race ethnicity with a fair amount of acceptance, but also with an underlying feeling of insecurity. Although I embrace the varied, yet relatively balanced features that I have inherited from my Italian mother and African American father, genetics definitely left me with a skin tone that is a bit more on the yellow side of the skin color spectrum than…

Age has always been an issue of mind over matter. Just as age is not limited by how one looks or feels, imagination does not either. It is often the case that age limits imagination, but that is not the true. No one can blame themselves for wanting that sense of creativity to live within for as long as possible, which is exactly how Alice felt throughout her journey. In The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll uses references to his own past, Alice’s change in size, and imagery to show that people can keep elements of childhood, like imagination, forever.…
