Older Age Bullying
Bullying
What is really going on in schools
Stephanie Neill
We have all been a victim of bullying at some point in our lives. In almost all cases that I have heard of bullying it has been in a school setting. In today 's world, bullying is nothing out of the ordinary. Every day we hear about bullying, whether it is in the news, at school, or from our friends. What has developed as a common thing amongst people of all ages has had serious effects and caused tragedy for many people. Students go to school and sometimes don 't realize the harm they are causing to other people when they make jokes about others ' disabilities, culture, or physical appearances. As technology advances, so do other aspects of life, such as bullying. Now, bullying has spread onto cyberspace and can attack individuals through the internet. Personally, I believe bullying will only continue to expand along with technology and find ways to harm people by any means necessary. Although it is evident bullying could never be fully controlled, it can be moderated and reduced by enforcing strict regulations against it in schools. Bullying should be a crime. It is very cruel and unethical. “Each day an estimated 160,000 students miss school for fear of being bullied and 10 percent of students who drop out do so because of repeated bullying” (Dalton 1). The way it makes children feel isn’t fair. Imagine that happening to yourself. Bullying in schools presents problems to every age group therefore there should be more bullying prevention programs to help get rid of the problem.
Younger age Bullying is a topic that needs to be talked about. Younger age is defined from kindergarten to seventh grade. Children bully because they feel they need to overpower people. They also bully because they think they are better than others or some people just have a low self-esteem. When Younger kids bully it is normally name calling, teasing, or making fun of them by the way they look, speak, or even how
