Why Kerman Middle School needs an anti bully program
During my fourth grade year, I wasn't considered popular. I mostly talked to one girl, other than my classmates. She would get picked on because her appearance, or people would talk behind her back and make up negative lies about her, which were never true. Whenever rumors or negative comments were said about her, we always knew it came from a classmate of ours. Since I was the targets “best friend” I was become an easy target for the same girl. She would make fun of me for hanging out with that girl, all the negative comments, lies, and rumors that would be said about my friend would eventually be said about me. Similar events have been experienced by other students. Most of the time

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.…

Inside the melting pot that is American culture we see a thick mixture of identities including race, minorities, genders, religions, health, wealth, poverty, and even education. All of these factors essentially influence each of us into the becoming of who we are in our individual futures, and, continuously change our thought processes which contain the ideas we have today. In this enlightened era of, for example, lenient gender roles, the culture has vastly shifted. If we think back to when races and genders were predominantly separate…

    They were constantly bullied and pushed to their breaking point; therefore, when one person stood up for them, even if it was of the smallest gestures, it was truly appreciated.

They wanted someone to listen to what they had to say; however, they would not be able to do so if they continued to remain in a negative atmosphere. Therefore, similar to the school professionals, if I were to hear any homophobic or threatening remarks, I would not tolerate it.…

    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…
