Parents, friends, and students can be involved in these courses of action, such as advocating for safer community environments. This can be done by getting involved in your child’s school environment, starting anti-bullying organizations, and forcing the subject to be addressed by students, other parents, and the administration. Creating educational opportunities to learn about bullying and its causes are another important step. This can be done in the classroom by a teacher, at home, or in the real world by a parent or close friend. Implementing bullying units into elementary, middle, and high school classrooms can educate young children on the steps to prevent bullying if they witness it, and it can help prevent the situation overall.…
In the United States in more recent years there has been a lot of debate on gun control due to events like the most recent school shooting. Both sides, Democratic and Republican, have argued for and against two very radical solutions: increasing gun control to the point of taking away guns from everyone that is not military or police, and arming teachers across the country. While both of these solutions have their benefits and flaws, one very important aspect of the active shooter epidemic seems to be overlooked, and that is the mental state of these people that will eventually turn into active shooters. When looking at the mentality of these people, there are two parts of the issue that are rarely addressed when trying to find a solution,…
Dear, Barrack Obama, My name is Jasmine Uribe and I live in El Paso Texas. As a concerned citizen of the United States of America, I am writing to you because I am concerned with the increase of violence. I am just asking if you will give this issue more attention. Every time I turn on the television to watch the news there is always some shocking and heartbreaking news of a shooting or a suicide.…
Children do not feel comfortable telling their parents about being bullied at school. They usually feel that they are supposed to work it out themselves, not running to an adult who may overreact and make things worse. Parents need to invite their children to talk openly about whatever it is that is bothering them and follow through with the discussion and plans made. Children that are bullied can be feeling ashamed and overpowered, it is important to remind our children that bullying is unacceptable and cannot go…
One way parents could prevent bullying is by knowing what their kids are doing on the internet. Parents also could make their kids give them passwords to social medias or any accounts; or even make an account of their own and ask to “follow” them or “ add friend”. (“What is Cyberbullying”) Every kid should be encouraged to tell someone immediately if they ever see anyone being bullied in any kind of way. Kids should also know that what they put out or post on the internet can most likely always be tracked down.…
Formally Charging Students for Bullying: What Doesn’t Kill You, Does Not Make You Stronger I think that bullying is a situation that is not taking as seriously as it should. Whether or not students should be formally charged for bullying is a very controversial topic right now. Many people believe that bullying is one of the biggest contributors to youth suicide and studies have proved this to be true (“Bullying and Suicide”).…
Whether people are aware of it or not, bullying happens everyday. Select people believe bullying to be a criminal offense and it should be punished as such while others believe it will only add fuel to the fire. Bullying and it’s effects aren’t always the bully’s fault and taking this to an escalated level could prove to be a heavy price to pay. The simple truth is, by chastising today’s youth they will only be alienated and the “solution” will not be effective. Creating a reaction to bullying in a way that leads to criminal convictions is quite an over reaction that comes with a pretty big price tag.…
In today's society, there is a deadly epidemic that has been spreading for many years that has gone unnoticed and overlooked. This frightening epidemic is bullying. Bullying is a major issue throughout all school systems which has been ignored and mistreated.

Bullying has become the norm for students involved in all levels of schooling.…

America needs to start doing more about a big issue called bullying. Bullying affects 28% of kids sixth through twelfth grade in the United States. As is, bullying is becoming more and more of a problem. About twenty years ago is when bullying started to get a problem and now it is spiraling out of control. One of the many cliches is that the bigger kid is the bully, but that is not always the case.…
Anti-Bullying Programs What is a bully? According to The Free Dictionary as quoted by Joseph Simplicio, a bully is a "...person who is habitually cruel or overbearing especially to smaller or weaker people." Bullies cause children among school age to feel clinically depressed, isolated, powerless to change their situation, and they often perform poorly in school. Children should not have to feel this way ever which is why the Gresham-Barlow school district needs a policy to prevent bullying.…
Bullying is a matter that no one should take lightly especially in areas it occurs the most like in schools. While many of these institutions have applied policies against bullying, there are still many instances documented where a student has suffered mental, emotional, or physical abuse by the hands of another student. Many of the children that partake in this particular behavior have no idea what kind of consequences their actions will have or either do not care. It is the education system’s job to teach and show students that bullying can be detrimental to someone’s life and that they will have no tolerance towards the issue. Schools should take a stricter approach to occurrences involving bullying and have the punishments clearly outlined…
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…
