Victimisation

Cyber bullying is one of the most common types of bullying. Social media is used to share information to the world but it’s also used to harass people on the internet. In the article from the Cosmopolitan online magazine “Who Are You Calling a Bully?” written by Abigail Pesta, is a story of three girls in Florida that started off as friends but it ended up in tragedy. Rebecca Sedwick jumped from towering silos to her death. There were a lot of questions especially to her classmates Katelyn Roman…

Why would you dump water on somebody at school? Especially during lunch in front of the entire 8th. Is it to get revenge? At Windham Middle School a male student decided to dump water on another male student. Witnesses say he did it because the other male student was “checking” out his girlfriend. As the water was spilled the male student was only upset about his shoes getting wet. “All he did was take his shoes off and said ‘my shoes!’ very loudly,” a witness on the scene said. The next day,…

Can you imagine walking down the street and passing a sex offender? Odds are you have passed something like three in the last month. Now imagine passing a victim. It is likely that you have seen more than can even be calculated, primarily due to the fact that most victims do not report their attack. While these numbers are not prudent to my argument, I would like the idea of perpetrators and victims to ruminate in your head for a bit. Do you remember the rapist Brock Turner? It is unlikely that…

Bullying in the World I am sure that people are aware that not everyone gets a great start to life, like Jeanette Walls in The Glass Castle. Many people across the world struggle with all kinds of hardships. Others think they understand these hardships, but I believe that no one can ever truly understand until they go through it themselves. People who grow up in a better situation could never really know the feeling of being in such a poor situation. One of the major causes of these hardships…

This episode really opened my eyes to other things going on in this world. I have always lived in good neighborhoods that have never had any shootings or crimes. These kids in the episode have not only had so many shootings in their neighborhoods but they actually see these shootings, sometimes are the shooter, and they see their friends or family get shot more than anyone should. It is crazy how different of lives people can live. I have never even thought about buying a gun because I would…

Victims of bullying are more at-risk than their peers to display high aggressive tendencies as well as low self-efficacy levels for performance/learning (Fullchange & Furlong, 2016). Wonke and Lereya (2015) posit that students who are exposed to bullying are likely to victimize others in revenge when they move to a different environment, for instance, a different school. Studies further showed bullies to run high risks of involvement in crime and delinquent acts later on in life (Wonke & Lereya,…

Standing up in front of the whole class was like being in a room full of sharks. Ms. Pops insisted that maybe Rina would share with the class another time. Writing down the examples, little giggles and whispers started. After a student asked about her big curly hair, some kids started laughing. “Everybody can’t be perfect. Can they?” (Pai and Schryver) Rina did her best to ignore the whispers and giggles coming from behind her back. It was not easy but she would just pay them no mind and look at…

Name: Cameron Rodgers Teacher: Mrs. Cox Date: March 30th, 2017 Subject: 10th Grade Lit 4B Cyberbullying is wrong I believe cyberbullying should, in fact, be a criminal offense because I know a person that have harmed themselves(i would rather not use a name) because people would continuously make fun of him because of how he dressed and how he looked . Cyberbullying is a type of bullying that occurs on the internet, hence the name. Cyberbullying is often unpunished until the victim…

Felony Comments Since the early seventies technology has evolved from computers that take up entire rooms to computers that fit in your pocket. With these technological advances communication has become more accessible than ever. People can converse over text messages, email, or phone calls without even being in the same country. An arising problem with this ease of communication is the use of digital media to harass others, more commonly known as cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is most commonly…

Drugs in the high school school community are a cause of chaos amongst the other children affected by it in the community. I see high school students on a daily basis that abuse drugs. Other times I see them distributed in the community I live in. It is one of those things that you get used to because you see it happening on a daily basis around you and with people you may consider friends. To many people it is a aggravation that they wish to rid from the community. Drug test should be…
