I’ve seen a movie with bullying and it is called “Middle School the Worst Years of My Life”. There is a kid actually being bullied by the principal. We could reduce or almost eliminate bullying by; telling adults about the bully, try to walk away from the bully, and get someone to help you stand up for yourself. I’ve never seen bullying going on during school or outside of school, but I have seen bullying going on during movies...and a lot of it. If an adult doesn’t fix the problem with the…

No. Every conflict does not have a winner. In fact, the opposite is true. Everyone is a loser to a certain degree. In my opinion, when a party enters a conflict, they are considered losers. Conflicts are generally unpleasant situations to be in, and therefore, I consider a person who entered the conflict a loser. For example, I'm currently in a conflict where I have to choose between two schools. In this conflict, I'm the loser because I entered the conflict. The reason I consider myself the…

There are instances in a high school career when you run into the "mean girls" clique. This clique is filled with girls with images of who they want to be and distinguish who they are. In Katie Coyle's "Fear Itself" it is evident that there is deception concerning Kara and herself and how she communicates with others. This is linked to Sean Redmond's insightful text "Celebrities and the Media" where he explains the body image and objectification that celebrities undergo because of the media and…

Insecurity: the lack of self confidence or assurance. In simpler terms, fearful or afraid of what could be, or what will be in one’s life or one’s self. This is the thing that stalks the halls of every high school, that which dwells within every acne covered, not good enough teenager, and lashes out at every unsuspecting adolescent that dares let it enter their company. An epidemic that has spread through the minds of the youth, made teens wait in hesitation, and has divided what could be from…

Some people use hypnosis to quit smoking or stop nail biting - even to overcome their fear of flying! Our outlook on life can also be changed and increase our self-esteem and build our confidence. You can use self-help books and resources to build your self-esteem, but there's a possibility that they won't work.…

This theory explains how many wear a narcissism mask to cover up low self-esteem making narcissism and self-esteem negatively correlated (Barnett & Powell, 2016). They have also discredited the findings of GenMe advocates by addressing the availability heuristic, a mental shortcut that relies on immediate examples that come to a given person’s…

I’m fully surprised by the contradiction discovered and wonder if I could have been closer to reaching my goals, by better understanding the ‘why’ behind some of my answers on the Self-Esteem Assessment. Although, I truly believe that the results of this assessment, and my answers, would be completely different if taken ten years ago. This begs the age old question of “can a tiger change its stripes?” For example, question number 8 (What aspects of those jobs did I enjoy?), references…

to unlock the key to being happy, it seems that the United States is still seeing a decline in happiness. The 2016 World Happiness Report found that there were “significant decreases” in American happiness over the past 10 years. With all of the self-help books that there are and how much people talk about wanting to be happy, it would seem like more people would have figured it out by now. When asked what people would wish for if they could have anything, you would expect the answer was to be…

There are two main ways to address loneliness, on an individual level and a societal level. Personality psychology tends to focus on the individual level, while social psychology focuses on the societal level. Depending on the type of loneliness a person is experiencing, one approach may be more beneficial than the other.
