...as much as your student will share. Sometimes a parent can share stories from their own past, and relive a bullying circumstance complete with a resolution or regret. This can open the door for your child to share his own problems and rely on you as his moral compass. When a parent steps in, their strength can bring hope to this predator/prey scenario. The child should learn how to handle the bully themselves, and learn how to take back their own power. Depending on the brutality of the bully, this can be as simple as standing up for oneself and saying “no”. Handling a bully can be tricky, especially when the intimidation or insults occur online. Social media has become a platform for cruelty not seen in generations past. Cyberbullying has become a popular way to attack other children and the psychological damage to the victims can be devastating. Rumors are easily spread, and often believed when published online. Maybe a cyber bullying essay can help. When a parent becomes aware of online abuse, it is important to not retaliate or become directly involved. It is advisable to document the behavior by printing out everything, and keeping a log. In a notebook, record all displays of abuse; this will prove a pattern of cruel behavior whether it be rumors, name-calling, or sexually inappropriate comments. Going to the authorities may be necessary and alerting the school administration will keep everyone on the same page. By documenting the “assaults”, the identity of the culprit(s)...

...Bullying is a large problem that today in our modern society has yet to be solved and correctly addressed. Some schools have created a strong anti-bullying policy. Other schools are trying out new programs and means of education on the subject. In fact, according to high school anti-bullying activist, and Huffington Post writer, Kumaran Chanthrakumar, “Hundreds of millions of dollars have been devoted to bullying prevention, with $132 million devoted by the government, under the U.S. Education Department's "Successful, Safe, and Healthy Students" program.” (Chanthrakumar, 2014) But according to the National Bullying Prevention Center, “One-third of all school-aged children are bullied each year…” From these two previous evidences, one may start to think; “Are schools really doing enough to stop bullying?” According to evidence, no, schools are not doing enough to stop bullying. Even after 132 million dollars devoted to bringing bullying to an end, schools have failed to effectively and efficiently use that money. This essay will cover three points of interest that show that schools aren’t doing enough about bullying. These points include the lack of education given to students, the fact that many students have committed suicide, and the lack of understanding or care that...

...Essay 1: There are many different things that can affect student performance. One example is bullying. When a child is bullied, it can negatively affect their school performance and achievement in many different ways. The child may feel socially withdrawn, or depressed. They could be getting bullied because they are out of the “social norm,” because they are different in some way, because of their clothes, or because of just about anything. Bullying has many impacts on the victim, which can also be shown through the school work and participation. Bullying can cause low self esteem and social problems. It can cause the student to not want to participate in school activities. The student may start not coming to class in order to avoid being bullied. They may even drop out or fail the class. The student may become more focused on the bullying or avoiding the bully than they are with their school work. Statistics say that half of students are bullied at least once a week, and that it affects 1/4th of high school students. Although teachers may not necessarily be aware of the bullying, if they are there are many ways to help. First, the teacher should not ignore it, and say something to the bully right away to try to stop it. They should also be there for the victim, and show that they are willing to help them through it and listen. Giving them extra time or one-on-one attention may also be a good idea to help the student cope. There are also many anti-bullying practice groups...

...Impromptu Essay This essay “Tiffany Stephenson—An Apology,” by Bjorn Skoquist is a story that dates back to Skoquist’s younger years and how he eventually found out how and where he fit in, in his new school. Unfortunately, the way he found himself making friends was at the expense of a young girl, Tiffany Stephenson. The bullying started out as threats and mean jokes, but as time went on and the other children in the class felt more power over Tiffany, things got worse. Skoquist described their actions towards the end of the year as, “weren’t especially foul, but they were inhuman” (Skoquist 13). Reading that sentence made me cringe, because I feel as if I have seen and been in situations like that. The bright side to this depressing story,...

Redford Grand Canyon University: EDA 575-Educational Leadership in a Changing World Facilitator: Dr. Audrey Donaldson Wednesday, July 4, 2012 Environmental and contextual factors affect my school and community on a daily basis. One of the most apparent issues would be the lack of parental involvement. This element influences both the school climate, as well as the community environment. In my years of teaching, I have found that students, who have parents that are detached from their school life, have difficulty remaining motivated and engaged in their education. Abstractly speaking, face to face bullying, as well as cyber-bullying also burden the demographics of my school. As teachers and administrators, we address the predictors of bullying and victimization on an ongoing basis, but the issue still exists. As a result of the lack of parental involvement and bullying/peer-pressure, teen pregnancy, within the district, has been on the rise. According to Gilbert, teen mothers are twice as likely to drop out of high school. This bit of research shows the increasing need to combat this issue. Within the context of this analysis, the factors mentioned above will be addressed and discussed. According to Colombo, research has suggested that the missing link in educational equity, in terms of educational achievement, is parental involvement. Community and parental...

...Final Essay Frank Gscheidle Mid- America Christian University Foundations of Ethics: The Life and Teachings of Paul Professor Kier 2 November 2013 With all the ills of society it is difficult to choose one. As different generation flourish, new social issues arise. The teaching of Paul can encompass and relate to most, if not all issues in today's society. For this essay I will focus on the issue of bullying. This particular issue has received some much needed attention in recent times and has even developed into a school program in many states. However, this is not a new issue; and in fact can be traced backed to biblical times. "For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control" (2 Timothy 1:7 ESV). So what exactly is a bully? "One who is habitually cruel to others who are weaker" (Merriam, 2013). Bullying can be either physical or emotional in nature. Within that definition there are numerous forms that bullying can manifest. Bullying can take place at work from a boss, from a preacher in church, a parent at home, or in school.
