Anti Bullying Campaign: Transition To The Restaurant School

Decent Essays
I attended the Anti Bullying Campaign event and participated in the campaign on Tuesday, September 12.
I decided to attend the event, because it is important to spread awareness about bullying and promote peace. I also decided to attend the event because the day and time of the event was accommodating. Bullying can happen to anyone and the victims need to know that they're not alone. Bullying campaigns are usually helpful and can positively impact someone's life. Attending the event helped me identify what bullying is and how I can help someone that is being bullied.
Attendance to the event did assist with my transition to The Restaurant School, because it helped me feel more comfortable about the environment of the school and the community.

    The 2011 anti-bullying policy, the Matt Epling Safe School Law, required that every school district develop a policy to address bullying within the school. The law states that schools must ensure bullying is prohibited and have safeguards in place to protect against false reports, as well as the person doing the reporting. The policy must also have appropriate people identified to implement and monitor the procedures, as well as investigate and report (Matt Epling Safe School Law, 2011/2014). The law has very little reach beyond requiring a written policy. There is no requirement in the law for implementation of the policy or the extent to which the policy must be implemented.…

    Small shows of solidarity can make a difference in the victim’s life or persuade the bully to stop. The third tactic Bazelon recommends that people should take against bullying is the campaign approach. By having students post flyers around school or create video advertisements, adolescents will constantly see the message “Stop Bullying”—or something of that nature—while they are at school or in their community. This approach helps children realize that they have control over their school or community’s culture. Lastly, Bazelon presents the approach of having older peers, who the students have a connection with, help victims of bullying.…

    When I was younger I wanted to go to Harvard, that was my dream. Unfortunately, I was discouraged when I found out how much it cost to attend. However, that didn’t stop Selamawi Asgedom from not only attending Harvard, but getting a full-ride there. Growing up as a refugee in America, Mawi had to overcome many obstacles such as the appeal of stealing, the alienation from bullies, and the struggles of poverty, which then motivated him to work for what he wanted. The philosophy that if a person steals something small once, then the next thing that the person takes will be bigger, and then the stealing will escalate from there can be painfully correct.…

    One problem that is ever evolving and continuously effects young adolescence in school is bullying. Bullying can be defined as an activity in which someone intentionally participates in either physically or emotionally harming a peer through any medium; such as words, actions, or technology. By applying this definition to the term bullying, it makes sense that almost every teenager in America can identify a time when they were bullied, when they bullied someone else, or a time when they saw a peer get harassed. And with an increase in technology use, minorities in school, and a growing LGBT group in the education system the problem is only going to get worse. There is a common misconception in the adult community as well as media that somehow…
