High School Bullying
-------------------------------------------------
School bullying
School bullying is a type of bullying in which occurs during the time period a child is in school. Bullying can be physical, verbal, or emotional.
According to a study by Yale, bullying victims are at least 70% more likely to commit suicide than non-victims.
Bullying happens everywhere, in all different forms. There are six primary types of bullying: physical bullying, verbal bullying, sexual bullying, relational bullying, reactive bullying, and cyber bullying. Physical bullying is using strength and size to overtake a victim. Verbal bullying is using harmful words, cursing or name calling to intimidate the victim. Sexual bullying is making fun of a victim’s sexual orientation, touching someone in an inappropriate place, making threats or jokes about serious subjects like rape, and forcing someone to act in a sexual way. This diminishes the victim’s self-esteem and reputation, and humiliates the victim. Relational bullying is working to destroy someone’s reputation, and make their friends turn against them. Reactive bullying is when a bully brines and convinces others to take part in the bullying. This kind of bullying completely overpowers and outnumbers the victim. Cyber bullying is using electronic tools like Facebook, Myspace, texts, IMs, and chatrooms to bully someone. Bullying happens in so many different places and in so many different ways, that it is very hard to stop.
Children and youth who are bullied are more to be depressed, lonely, and anxious; have low self-esteem, be absent from school, feel unwell, and think about suicide. Law enforcement is trying to take a stand against bullying. It is so important that law enforcement has a role in bullying prevention because studies show that bullying as a child can lead to more serious consequences. In one study, boys who were identified as bullies in middle and high school were four times as likely as non-bullies to have three or more
