Improved Essays
You know what I hate the most in this world is back stabbing bitches. There are people in this world designed to pretend to be your friends then turn around and destroy us. I have meet so many people like that and it makes me sick but hey what can I do about it. You can try to handle them in a way you think will work without being violent but trust me when I tell you that will never work. You have to stand your ground not matter what or they will just walk all over you. You can’t be afraid to fight for what you believe in, make a code and live by it. I did and I can tell you I will always fight for my code and nobody will ever stop me from doing so.

They don’t know how to walk the walk. My opinion on it is they haven’t thought that far ahead. That’s why when someone stands up to them they back down. That’s why I don’t get why people really don’t stand up for themselves. I mean if you don’t learn to stand up for yourself at a young age how are you going to stand up for yourself when you are older and trying to get your boss to give you a raise. You have to learn to take a stand somewhere. I would also suggest getting it done and over with early and not wait till the last minute like I always seem to do.
Shortly after 6th grade ended my dad got orders to move back to Germany. I was so happy because I missed it so much and it was home to me. I thought this was a good thing because in a DODEA there really isn’t any bully’s. Not saying there are no bully’s I’m just saying they are not as smart.

    As we become more knowledgeable on the subject of bullying, we can notice how the effects it has on both the victim and the bully can be dangerous. In his article, “Bullying”, John Greenya suggests that the connection between bullying and school violence has become a growing problem that schools aren't doing enough to prevent. He does this by first explaining that “today, bullying is widely regarded as a serious problem in the United States”, then by stating “bullying not only begets depression and suicide but also serious crime, researchers say, not to mention poor academic performance, truancy and higher dropout rates” (Greenya). Greenya finally describes how “in the past, bullying has simply been dismissed as ‘Kids will be kids,’ but the findings from this study suggest that…

    Stephanie Santangelo December 2016 Take home essay In 1619 the first African slaves were brought to Jamestown,Virginia to work on tobacco plantations.

    Honor codes are a set of principles in a school made to follow, to uphold an honest school environment, which can determine the integrity of a student.

I was dragged on the floor and eventually stripped naked,” said a woman interviewed for Kumolu’s (2015) article. Recently, law enforcement departments have taken heat as they are being accused of using unnecessary aggression, but has the brutality of law enforcement officials been blown out of proportion?

To begin, student culture regarding the honor codes at their schools is essential because it determines whether or not the rules would be taken seriously. There may be an honor code that is strictly enforced, but if students have no part of the process and are only punished,…

In chapter 8 of the textbook, it says, “Scholars such as John C. Merrill (1974) assert that the First Amendment should be interpreted purely as a restriction on government, emphasizing freedom of expression and downplaying any notion of reciprocal journalistic responsibility.…
