...people who like to be in charge, who feel as bullying people is their way of being on top of things. My topic proposal is, should the state or federal government put laws into place to prevent bullying? People who don’t get attention at home like to bully others so that people around them can laugh an give the bully all of their attention.

...How Does Bullying Have a Positive and/or a Negative Effect on Mental Health? EDF3610 Education in a Multicultural Society Florida Atlantic University Brooke Garber How Does Bullying Have a Positive and/or a Negative Effect on Mental Health? Issue: Does bullying create any psychological effects? How does bullying have a positive and/or a negative effect on mental health? Position: I do believe that bullying has psychological affects to a person's well being. I believe that bullying has a negative and a positive effect on mental health; therefore, I straddle the fence on this issue. Bullying is a growing epidemic that could lead to suicide, self-harm, and self-hatred. On the other hand, a person that is bullied might be able to build tolerance and stand up to that bully. Some children may possibly “bounce back,” but we hear countless stories of bullying gone to extremes, of teasing that ends tragically. According to Beck (2014), "Research shows that bullying victims have higher rates of self-harm, anxiety, and depression during childhood and adolescence" (Problem section, para. 1). Bullying comes in the form of either verbally assaulting face-to-face, direct hitting, indirect or other means that used to gain superiority. Good and bad comes from bullying, however I believe that bullying is more negative than positive on the effects of mental health. Today forms of bullying of escalated drastically due to the development of technology, which has become known as cyber bullying...

...Bullying comes in many different forms, from cyber bulling to physical bullying. It’s all wrong and it has to stop. Bullying has a real negative effect on the victim’s life. Those who are constantly bullied can be pushed to the breaking point, where they could end up hurting themselves or others. Why do students bully their class mates? I believe students bully other because they are insecure and lack confidence. They use bullying tactics to impress other students. Bullies thrive on attention they get from their fellow classmates. Their hurtful actions make them feel powerful and popular. Bullies pick on students who they think are weak in physical stature, unpopular with their peers, easily intimated, or discriminated against. Bullying occurs on a regular basis in many schools. It’s usually started by the same person or a ring leader who gets a few other students to join in on the bullying. Unfortunately, the majority of students are spectators who act like the “peanut gallery” laughing out loud or snickering behind the victim’s back. The “peanut gallery” may not directly bully the victim, but by standing on the sidelines giving their attention to the actions they encourage they bully. Even though I am not a bully, I have been part of the “peanut gallery” that makes bullying an even worse situation. The “peanut gallery” are students that can make a positive change to stop bullying. As students, we can take action to stop bullying in our schools and I have some ideas...

...Written Campaign Proposal: Bullying Brittnay M. Howell ECE 205: Introduction to Child Development Instructor Nadia Hasan August 11, 2014 Written Campaign Proposal: Bullying Bullying has been a problem for world for generations. According to a UCLA psychology study, bullying boosts the social status and popularity of school students, which in turn makes the student want to bully more. The website NOBullying.com states, “20 percent of U.S. students in grades 9-12 reportedly have experienced bullying, while 28 percent of students in grades 6-12 report the same. Experts agree that most incidences of bullying occur during middle school. Most of these students in the study reported name calling as the most prevalent type of bullying, followed by teasing, rumor-spreading, physical incidents, purposeful isolation, threats, belongings being stolen, and sexual harassment. Surprisingly, cyberbullying occurred with the least frequency. 70.6 percent of teens have seen bullying occurring in their schools and approximately 30 percent of young people admit to bullying themselves” (Bullying, 2014). The best way to bring down the percentage of people bullied not only at school but in life is to bring more awareness to the situation through facts, campaigns, and history.

...NURSE BULLYING: UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT Looking into the case on nurse bullying, a plethora of conduct violations is evident. One could make the argument that Raymond is at fault for his conceited attitude. One could also argue that he brought on the bullying of his coworkers. Should Raymond employ at conceited disposition? Most would respond with a no. Although Raymond’s behavior was perceived as a form of arrogance and not found to be so for sure, he could have altered his conduct around his coworkers to ensure the right perception. Regardless of the clarity of Raymond’s behavior and attitude, it is clear that several of Raymond’s coworkers are jealous of his knowledge and expertise. Aware of the obvious issues, the individuals mentioned in the case and those unmentioned have responsibilities in ensuring peace and compliance in the workplace which will be considered in this analysis. “The Workplace Communication website defines organizational behavior as how employees act as individuals within the company and how they interact as part of work groups” (Root III, 2015). Of the several noticeable issues in this case, the bulk of it seems to be ethical violations and accountability. There is a possibility that Raymond thinks he’s superior to his colleagues; however, they have no right to engage in inappropriate activity. Raymond’s colleagues decided to single him out to embarrass him which completely violates the principles of ethical practice in the workplace. Aside from ethical...

...Bullying in Schools Victoria Cottongin Monday March 31, 2014 Abstract This is a paper on bullying in schools. It will give suggestions of ways for schools to convey awareness. This paper will also include some suggestions on how to stop bullying in schools by establishing certain consequences for students and parents. Bullying in Schools Sandy, an overweight teen whose family was not financially sound, was sitting at the lunch table all by herself when part of the “A” list group started throwing Twinkies at her and making pig noises. Later that evening when Sandy logged on to her Facebook account, it had been hacked. In the place of her cover photo was a picture of a pig. The next day the local news reported that a sixteen year old girl had committed suicide and a group of teens was being charged with her murder due to bullying. That sixteen year old girl was Sandy.

...| Bullying on School Campuses | | I. Introduction “Parents are way overprotective these days; getting picked on by tougher kids and hassling weaker ones is just a part growing up. It is how they learn to deal with the real world.” A statement heard by many people from adults. Unfortunately, this statement is incorrect. Throughout the course of years the US Department of Justice and Education indicate that more than eighty percent (80%) of public elementary and secondary schools report experiencing at least one violent incident ranging from bullying and physical fights to rape and assault with a weapon. (ProQuest Staff) This shows there is a need for change in society. A parent guardian as well as a student would want to be able to go to school in a secure environment for learning, but is that really how schools are today? Anyone can be a bully; classmates, administrators, school bus drivers, and even family members. Being a bully can be triggered by a desire to seem cool or to show social dominance. It can also be a ploy to hide your own low self-esteem and a need for approval from your peers. Bullying may start at home; family dynamics help bred bullies. An adult who will usual give birth and raise children that will bully. The last dynamic problem of what may create a bully is American culture; hostile music and movies and the focus on excellence and achievement that ignores the greater good of man.

...The Damaging Effects of Bullying, Why It Needs to Stop, and How to Stop It There are many problems in our school system today, but the number one problem, in my opinion, is bullying. “An Analysis of School Anti-Bullying Laws in the United States,” written by Maryellen Kueny and Perry Zirkel, states that “bullying has been a persistent problem in middle level and high schools.” According to Kueny and Zirkel’s article, “an early national study found that among sixth through twelfth graders, 56% of students witnessed bullying and 71% know of a peer who is being bullied.” In the same article mentioned before, “a study of bullying in American schools found 86% of students in grade 6 through 10 engaged in bullying sometimes or more frequently.” As you can see bullying plays a big role in our school systems today and causes many problems not just for the student being bullied but for the bullies themselves. Bullying should be put to an end because it causes damage to those who are bullied and the bullies, as well. Physical bullying, verbal bullying, convert or hidden bullying, and cyberbully are the four main types of bullying. Out of the four types, verbal bullying and cyberbullying are the most common. Verbal bullies use words to harm others through name-calling, insulting, making racist comments, or harsh teasing. Cyberbullying can happen at any time. The Alannah and Madeline Foundation says that cyberbullying includes: “abusive or hurtful texts, emails, posts, images or videos...

...Bullying in schools Most people don't realize how big of a problem this is. Bullying in schools is so common in our lives that we don't even realize that it's happening when it does. We believe it to be something normal, everyday thing, when it's not. Not even close. Everytime it happens, adults and Teachears say "They're kids. They'll get over it." and "it builds character and makes them stronger. They can deal with it themselves." when in reality, it breaks us and rips us apart bit by bit. Govnment of United Kindem said ´´There is no legal definition of bullying´´ Why should people give in to bullies?Why do we have to let them hurt and harass us physical-ly and emotionally? Is it because we're different? Because we're not normal? What makes us different from the rest of them? What is normal? Are you even remotely aware of how much pain these victims feel every day? They go to school knowing they’re going to be hurt and they see no way out. This is because people like you and many others stand by and let it happen without contemplating how much pain this is causing people. Ask yourself this: How would you feel if you were in the victim’s position and could see no end to your pain? Bullying can happen in school, so it is the responsibility of students to protect their classmates and to show everyone the dignity and respect they would like to be treated with. The first line of defense in bullying is in student’s own behavior. But when that fails, it must be brought...

...Ciftcikara Bullying in schools for many has become an issue, and that issue for large part is the overwhelming effect it is having on our children that are being subjected to the bullying. Bullying is tragic and something that has gone on in every school since who can remember. Bullying in our schools, do the schools think it is a problem and if so how do we educate the school, students, and parents to end this cruelty. Bullying happens, every day in our schools, and profoundly many of us want to believe it doesn’t happen at all. Our children are victims and also the bully in many cases. Students if educated on what to look for in signs that they are being bullied and not just being played with will go a long way in helping them identify how to stop being the victim. Most students that are victims don’t know it and when they find out they are being bullied they can identify the bully. Many bullies when identified will shy away from it then. They grow off the fear they produce in the victim. Bullying takes place in our schools and it is time we stop portraying that it doesn’t. Working in a school and seeing it first hand, it is very hard to think at first that what you are seeing as bullying or is it just kids being kids. Administrators in our schools are now being educated on how to spot signs of bullying amongst students and how to identify the bullies themselves. This being done will also lead to parents understanding that bullying is an issue in our schools...

.... Bullying is a major problem in schools today. Many states have made laws designed to protect students from being bullied and enabling them to punish students who are guilty of bullying their peers. Different schools have implemented different anti-bullying programs in order to stop bullying within their schools. There is a great deal of debate as to which of these programs are effective and which are ineffective and how to truly measure effectiveness. The Steps to Respect Bully Intervention program and the Safe School Ambassador Program are among the many programs that schools currently use to address the bullying epidemic. Steps to Respect Bully Intervention Program is a school-based bully prevention program developed for grades 3-6. The goal of the program is to decrease school bullying problems by increasing staff awareness and responsiveness, fostering socially responsible beliefs, and teaching social-emotional skills to counter bullying and promote healthy relationships. The program aims to promote skills associated with general social competence. The program consists of 3 main components. The first component is a school-wide program guide which provides an overview of the curriculum content, the goals of the program, the research foundations behind the program, and a blueprint for developing school-wide policy and procedure. The second component of the program is staff training which focuses on effective discipline policies, improved monitoring of students...
