    Anyone who hasn’t been living under a rock for the past thirty years (on that note, even ten years) acknowledges that the world has changed radically. From the rise and further advancement of computers, to the increasing prevalence of bioengineering, and even something as simple as how people discuss things all demonstrate that this is a radically different world from my parents, my grandparents and my great grandparents. With these innovations, problems both contemporary and archaic have reared their ugly heads; one of the greatest of these issues is bullying. This endearing issue, something in which we all have encountered by some means, and by some form, plays a massive role in our world today. Although it seems like this issue is something with no solution, many resources that have been acquired (from our innovations to the literature that has been created by great minds) prove that there are ideas about how to make this issue cease to exist.…

Bullies are always viewed as the bad or mean kids in stereotypes, but what we do not always realize is that the bully could be suffering in some…

    The act of bullying or harassing another is interpreted as the habitual nature of a person with unkind intentions leading to impulsive cruelty to those “who are weaker” (merriam-webster definition of bullying). 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…

    Some of the thoughts I had about the movie is, I felt for the kid, kids are so mean anyway, but when you are different, kids are much worse.

I felt the movie at first was a little silly, the boy’s imagination with the movie, it was like a fairy tale.…

Those types of bullies need to understand the other side of their indoctrinated beliefs and accept who they are bullying as any other human.…

    1 in 4 non-heterosexual children are predicted to be bullied per year (“Gay Bullying”, 2013). Bullying among children is already a problem in schools. Now that gay and lesbian politics have become such a large part of society, the opinions and politics of life have rubbed off on children.

Examples of traits and behaviors that can initiate bullying behaviors against a person are gender non-conformity and “coming out” as LGBT (“Suicidal Ideation”, 2012,…
