Bullying In High Schools

Decent Essays
One major problem in high schools is bullying and the amount of fights that kids get into. Bullying is a problem because anyone who is getting bullied do not want to get help about it. Kids get scared and shy and do not want to talk to adults about their problems. This issue can be resolved by updating all the bully hotlines and making them more secure. Yes, students would like if everything was anonymous, but that is still making kids shy to talk about their feelings. The amount of fights in high schools is way too big. At Davis High School there is a fight almost everyday, whether it is yelling at each other or talking behind someone's back it is still causing issues that result in fights that have to get broken up by staff members.

    I was never physically or verbally bullied as a child. I was shy and soft spoken; therefore, I never did anything to attract attention to myself. Instead of harassment, I had more difficulty dealing with isolation. Though this is not same type of bullying we had seen in the video, it did make me depressed and abandoned. I typically felt this while attending McKinley High School.…

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.…

    According to Dilmac and Aydogan (2010), bullying is a crucial issue in today’s society. Although bullying is no longer tolerated as much as it was in the past, there continues to be a code of silence among children, youth, and families about bullying. In addition to this, bullying, along with an individual’s response to bullying, is usually learned within the family. The Perceived Social Competence Scale (PSCS) and the Youth Coping Index (YCI) are excellent clinical instruments that can be used with children, youth, and families that present with issues that might be traced to bullying in the present or past. In particular, the YCI is a 31-item instrument that measures an individual’s coping skills (Corcoran & Fischer, 2013).…

    I feel that schools should enforce a no tolerance bullying campaign that in which if students are found bullying another through any form of medium, they must then go to the school councilor to address the issue as well as get parents involved. By doing so students will be able to address problems fully with a professional and this professional can scaffold proper behavior. Furthermore, I believe that every school should help kids build confidence in the classrooms, so that even if they are bullied, the effect of it will be less because of their high efficacy. Additionally, I like the idea of getting parents involved in two ways. One would be at the school in which when a student is caught bullying or is victimized, the parent is made aware and then can further address and discuss this issue with their child.…
