In Madera High School students on an average mentioned that the staff members in this school did not handle bullying and harassment to the expectations. On average 125 students chose from a scale 1-10 that the school handled bullying and harassment from a 3-5, ten being perfectly handled. A student who was a victim mentioned, “ It made me feel scared and it made me fear interacting with new people. I did not go to someone for help I went to my teacher for help but she did not really help”(Anonymous). This student obviously tried to talk to an adult and explain what she was going through and how severely did bullying affect her. The student clearly lets us know that Maderas High School staff does not know how to act when a teen dealing with bullying comes for help. It is not easy for a teen to open to what its going through the teens mind and this student did …show more content…
The low esteem of the teenager make the teen feel inferior to the rest of the students due to the comments. That is when the students commit suicide believing that ending life will stop the bullying that the teen is going through from continuing. Some of the teenagers at Madera High School have good intention and are willing to hear and help the teen going through the intimidation of bullying. One of a teenager who was interviewed mentioned, “I would give them advice and if it got out of hand and we could not fix it, I would contact an adult”(Anonymous). It is interesting to see that some teens are willing to help someone dealing with bullying. The teen has in mind that the talk and advices between two teens is easier than talking with an adult. The fact of talking with another teen will encourage the victim to express how has bullying affected the teenager in its personal lives. Although it is easier to speak with a teen of the same age most of the teens hide what has bullying done to
This does not only include Madera High staff, yet school staff should start to pay more attention to who they think may be in trouble because school is basically a student 's second home and spend most of their time there. This is why school teachers have a big role in this. Based on this survey students think that the staff is not really of much help when in reality they should feel that they can seek help in them because teachers have a sense of authority and if the students trusted in the staff to tell them what is going on they could do something to maybe halt or change the course of how the bully impacts the student and end the problem or even yet a little advice on the part of the staff on what would be the right thing to do never hurts. There was a situation at Madera High school
As it was said previously, bullying is not such a huge problem at Madera High School, teenagers will most likely continue being the way teenagers are, and it will probably continue to happen regardless of what is done. The students at Madera High School do not deserve to be bullied or harassed no matter the circumstance, neither should anyone else in this
Lee Hirsh directed the documentary Bully which is about the lives of children who get bullied across America. This documentary shows how many teachers, parents, and other students are unaware of bullying and the effects it has on people. When people see someone getting bullied, they just shrug it off and think they must`ve done something to deserve this or they act like it’s not happening. This film showed me that bullying is overlooked by many people as something that doesn’t happen, but really it is a huge problem that exists everywhere in the world. It’s important that people know the effects of bullying and that bullying is something that should be taken seriously because there are children in the world like Tyler, from this film, who commit
The essay “Bullying as True Drama” was written to help adults better understand how teenagers address bullying and how they may be uncomfortable to openly communicate about the issue when it is happening to them. It also explains how the lack of awareness that adults have in the language the used by teens prevents them from being successful in the better understanding why the word drama is used to describe bullying. The first response I had to the essay is the point of teenagers using the word drama when they are describing bullying. This statement resonates with me in the sense of having classmates and friends use phrases and words to downplay something that was actually hurtful to them.
Bullying is a serious problem all over the nation and can lead to more serious problems. The columbine shooting was a cause of two students who were constantly being bullied. The gunfire that opened at columbine high school, was also one of the most horrendous massacre at a school.

Both students spend months preparing for this moment and throughout this essay we will learn what events and planning, lead to this tragedy.

For further explanation, bullies are targeting girls because of their appearances. Bullying is one of the main reasons of suicidal thoughts or actions of teens in America. In fact, Bullying is one of the main reasons of suicidal thoughts or actions of teens in America. “Girls think about suicide twice as often as boys, and tend to attempt suicide by overdosing on drugs or cutting themselves” (Kid’s Health Organization 1).

Bullying has been named an “emerging public health issue requiring intervention” (Ansary, Elias, Greene, & Green, 2015, p. 27). As a major problem in schools around the world, the issue of bullying must be addressed in order to keep students physically and emotionally safe. The act of bullying not only affects the well-being of the person being targeted, but it also affects the rest of the school community too.

Paragraph 2: Some teens are engaging to to unsafe activities which lead to a
Bullying in Schools What seems fun and harmless for some students, is painful and degrading to others. Bullying has been a critical issue around schools, but before it was not as dangerous and know as it is now. These do not means bullying was not happening, it means it was not taken into consideration by parents or teachers.

It is a process in which one person repeatedly uses his/her superior strength or influence to mistreat, attack or force another person to do something (Van der Werf, 2014). Bullying or peer victimization is now recognized as a complex and pervasive problem (Beran, 2009). It is an ongoing problem that is not restricted by age, race, gender or class. This behavior generally takes one of four forms, physical such as assault, verbal which involves threats or insults, social which entails exclusion or rumor spreading, and cyber which includes aggressive texts or social network posts
For example if bulling continues at school and school doesn’t take action on this attitude, the entire school can be affected. Student may get anxious and tend to not like school. As the adults don’t take action and try to prevent bulling, children may feel that teachers and other school staff have little control over the students and don’t care what happens to them. Moreover Students who witness bullying can also be affected. They may feel guilty for not helping or scared that they will be the next target (gomasa, n.d.).
