...It is exceptionally brazen when you have kids who come to class to learn, however, in lieu they are beaten, ripped off, constantly picked on, stuffed in lockers, and ridiculed by a person who is much more grounded, bigger, and heartless of others and their emotions. This is an extremely colossal problem to the educational system since this could bring about the students being tormented to not have any desire to go to class, their evaluations may even decrease, or they could carry out a wrongdoing that could demolish their lives until the end of time. They could face prison time if they are consistently being picked on. The bullied may retaliate by either convey a weapon to class, wounding the bullier who is tormenting them, or even hurt his/herself. I trust that domineering jerks in the educational system today are doing these things in light of the fact that there may be issues at home and/or mental issues. Be that as it may, the educational system has no influence over what goes on at home until the understudy talk about it with a head or a staff part at the school. There will be no sensitivity for the understudy if nothing is done about the issues that are happening at the jackass's home if nothing is said before hand. Take Eric David Harris and Dylan Klebold for instance. They are known for the April 20th, 1999 Columbine School Shooting where 12 students and 1 teacher was killed, and another 23 students are critically injured. Several factors were played and thought...

...Bullying is when someone uses words to hurt you. Bullying is wrong no matter what they do. There are many consequences associated with bullying. It is necessary to report bullying when it happens.

...Bullying in the Workplace Many people relate bullying to their earlier days in school and still relate bullying to the typical “school yard” bully that seemed to terrorize the weakest children on the playground. Times have changed but the bully still lives and more than likely still torments its victims. Bullying in itself is a mistreatment of one or more persons by another individual or in some cases, a group of people. It is still present in today’s schools and it continues to linger around the average business office. Workplace bullying is often overlooked or ignored. When it comes to bullying in the workplace, it differs from the traditional bullying that so many grew up with. So many people assume that bullying does not exist in the office due to the fact that there are adults present, not children. Unfortunately, there are many adults who still behave like children and show little to no respect for their co-workers. Many people bully others without even realizing that they are doing it due to their own hidden issues. Very few are able to recognize what is beneath the surface and what lies behind the cause of conflict. Company employees are expected to be professional and grown up. After all, they are adults and they should behave as such. “Bullying is also a global phenomenon. Some researchers suggest that workplace bullying is more prevalent in the U.S. due to the cultural values of the U.S. which emphasize on individuality, assertiveness, masculinity, and achievements”...

...Shannon Silva Nov, 2, 2013 Bullying in School Some people believe bullying in school is a normal part of student life. It is this mentality of acceptance that breeds indifference to the physically and psychologically harmful effects of bullying for both the perpetrator and the victim. Bullying must be taken out of schools by raising awareness and increasing supervision. By shedding light on this issue we can implement steps to intervene and prevent bullying thereby creating a more nourishing environment in our school systems. The effects of bullying are both physically and, perhaps worse, psychologically damaging. “The damaging effects of being bullied as a child last long into adulthood with victims up to six times more likely to develop a serious illness.” When compared with their un-bullied counterparts, children that have never been bullied are much more likely to land a better job and are less likely to be involved in criminal activity. Those that are bullies and their victims share the emotional disorders of depression and anxiety. In some cases these disorders persist into adulthood. Children who bully others are more likely engage in criminal activity, abuse their spouses, romantic partners, or children as adults. They are more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol. In preventing these actions and behaviors early we can put a dent in the behavior pattern that precedes that line of behavior through adolescence into adulthood. This is a very real issue that needs to...
