  1. Bullying By: Avery Privett

  2. Development • Bullying has been around since anyone can remember. • Bullying is often done by someone who wants to feel better about themselves. • Bully’s often come from unstable homes, and have often been picked on themselves. • Over time bullying has become harder and harder to find a shelter from. Now that there is so much technology a bully can find a way to pick on someone even when they are not around them. This is known as cyber bullying.

  3. Forms of Bullying • Students are bullied for many different reasons. This includes size, physical traits, disabilities, age, family income, and many more. • There are six different types of bullying and they are physical, verbal, emotional, cyber , sexual, and prejudicial. • Physical- beating up another student • Verbal- name calling • Emotional/ Relational Aggression- often a sneaky type that is unnoticed, and attacks one’s social status. • Cyber- online or over the phone • Sexual- on being harmed sexually. Ex: being called skank, or having butt slapped • Prejudicial- bullying based on prejudices. Ex: race

  4. By the Numbers • A little over 3 million students are bullied per year • About 14 percent of students k-12 are bullied • Over 50 percent of students witness someone getting bullied • 25 percent of teachers do not recognize or ignore bullying to an extent • Almost ¾ of students see bullying as a problem

  5. Direct Effects • Bullying has many direct affects. Here are some of the examples. • Students skipping class, and even dropping out of school. • Fights breaking out due to bullying. • School shootings. 75 percent of school shootings are linked to bullying. • Students not being able to focus at school therefore making lower grades.

  6. Future Effects • Bullying can also lead to many negative effects in the future. Here are some of the things it can cause. • Post Depression- some people think back on the times that they were bullied, and become depressed. This can include things such as nightmares that wake them up in the night. • Social Issues- Some people who are bullied end up with social issues. A lot of them hid that they were bullied when it was occurring, and when they get older they begin to hide things such as their feelings. They are unable to approach certain others and carry on a normal conversation because of their timid ness. Also, these people are less likely to make new friends. • Confidence Issues- This can partly fit under social issues. Some people who were bullied never get any self confidence. Many end up not being motivated to pursue their dream, or even get a job. Some of these issues take place as the student get older and are still in school. This can cause them to not join any after school activities that they are interested in.

  7. Controversy when trying to stop it The controversy about bullying is how do we stop it? First of all, many of those who are being bullied do not come out and tell others about the problem. Second, even when it is done in the view of others they do not recognize the problem. It was already said that 1 in 4 teachers do not acknowledge certain types of bullying for what it is, but many fellow students have the same issue. Even when bullying is recognized her are still problems on how to handle it. Many say that bullying should be handled by the student retaliating, but many times this can only cause more problems. If a student is being bullied and retaliates by physically harming the bully it can lead to them getting in trouble, or being bullied worse. Plus, a teacher can not allow this can of behavior even if it is for the best. Many think the teacher should have a “blind eye”, and let the bully get what they deserve, but that could lead to the endangerment of their job, or worse. As a teacher it is important to recognize the signs of bullying first. Know the students that you have in your classroom. That means from day one observe each student and how they act. This can lead to knowing the possible candidates for those who are likely to be bullied, and those who are likely to be the bully. Also, it will allow the teacher to recognize when one’s behavior changes. Behavior changes are often due to one being bullied. For example, if a child is usually happy, but all of a sudden is always sad he/ she might be being bullied. Once a teacher recognizes that a student is being bullied, or might be being bullied they should try to fix the problem. Usually it is best to go to the student and let them know you are there, and that they can tell you anything. Let the student know not to be afraid to help, because no matter what the bully says if they let you know it can only have positive effects. Yet, if the student will not admit to being bullied the teacher should take it to higher administration. Go to the principal, and discuss it with him, and see if he can get the student to talk about it. Maybe he/she can call the parent/ parents, or guardian of the students in order to fix the problem. The most important thing to as a teacher when you recognize bullying is immediately take action. Immediate action can keep the students from more harm, or taking matters in their own hands, and come sometimes save lives. Also, it is important to know the bully, and his/her background before punishment. You never know what the bully is going through themselves, which could be the reason they are bullying. Often times if you reach out to a bully, and explain to them that they are causing someone the same pain that they are experiencing it will open their eyes. Let the bully know it is wrong what they are doing, but it can be fixed, and you and the school are there for support.
