In Sherman Alexie’s poem, “Capital Punishment” he talks about an Indian male in prison, and his last meal. Sherman Alexie choose to write this poem because he is showing a little of himself through this prisoner. He is able to relate to the poem more because he uses himself as a lens for his story. Alexie had a troubled childhood and ended up becoming a writer and has written many poems and stories that seem to be very violent and dark. He chooses to write the way he does because he can get more into his stories since they are based on his life. Alexie uses the violence and darkness he has had in his past, to help himself open up more to his readers, and to better express himself in his stories.

As the story goes on, Alex finds out Scorpia

In The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, bullying is the normal thing for someone to do. Bullying is unwanted or unneeded actions or words that are said or done to hurt someone and their feelings. They may make the bully feel powerful and make the victim feel unsafe. Some bullying may be online and other times face to face. Kids are affected in different ways. Some kids who are bullied may become a bully, others may become depressed or feel unsafe everywhere they go. In Hinton's novel, everyone either experiences bullying or has bullied someone. Hinton's novel was written in 1967 when bullying wasn't controlled that well. Bullying wasn't seen as the biggest problem or not a problem at all, it wasn't controlled and no one was punished for doing

Bullying happens most the time on the school bus “Bullying is hugely a product of circumstance , and that’s why too much focus on the individual psychology of the bullying group”. (Klein,2) If there’s a group of kids (Bullies) the just focus on one kid the whole time, and unfortunately we don’t see a lot of kids try to stop it. Maybe one day a kid will finally try to get the bullying to stop if they see it and stand up for the kid that is getting

Based in the following citation “the bullying takes a special breed of person to cause pain to others, but the one most hurt by bullying is the bully himself- thought that’s not at first obvious and the effects worsen over the life cycle” (Marano) we can conclude that this citation applies at the situations of Stephen king’s book for example the bullying that suffer Carrie when she was a child because her religion was different and her classmates make jokes and laughing about her beliefs causing insecurities in Carrie; this did that with the time she had

At the meeting with the Nabozny family and a number of the boys who Jamie had accused of bullying, the Principal took the word of the bullies and then also later told Jamie Nabozny that if he continued to be out about his sexual orientation at school, the bullying would continue. The bullies faced no disciplinary actions and the harassment continued. Following a number of bullies verbally abusing him, inappropriately touching him and then enacting a mock rape[1][4][5] while the rest of his class watched, Nabozny went to the principal who told him that "boys will be boys"[6][7] and admonished him for entering her office without an appointment. The continued bullying at middle school led to Nabozny attempting suicide, after which he refused to return to middle school.

The bullying in Freak the mighty is very similar to everyday bullying. I believe bullying can make kids stronger to stand up to the bullies. Like shown in freak the Mighty.

Nearly everyone has witnessed an act of bullying, a prevalent issue among schools around the world. Whether it is due to a troublesome past, a desire to impress others, or another cause, people often express cruelty to others. Someone who chooses not to act when witnessing bullying, shares the blame, as one who does not help the problem becomes part of it. However, those responsible often have trouble owning up to their behavior and admitting to their involvement. In the stories, “Run Sheep Run” and “Sucker”, both narrators, Nancy and Pete, allow pain to be inflicted on someone; Pete directly causes the pain himself. Although both Pete and Nancy are responsible for letting an innocent be hurt, only Pete takes responsibility by acknowledging

Alex is a seemingly active and sociable person living in a small society. However, he has a desire to do terrible things which is not what a normal teenager usually do. As a fifteen year old, he has already become a leader of a small gang of criminals consisting of Dim, Georgie, and Pete. This causes a rise in his psychopathic behaviour to create mischief and terror in the streets. As a juvenile delinquent, he will try to find victims of opportunities and uses that moment to either rape or robe them and ending with a cruel and severe punishment.

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. It can be difficult for teachers, principals, and superintendents to make an ethical decision about what to do when bullying occurs because there are misunderstandings about what bullying is, leading to the improper identification of situations. Often times bullying occurs when adults are not around, which makes it one student’s word against another. In addition, the lack of clear and consistent policy and procedures in schools compounds the ethical dilemma of bullying for educators. This paper aims to establish what bullying is, identify the current problems associated with bullying and discuss guidelines for resolving the ethical issues related to bullying.

This article explains what is bullying exactly. Bullying is any form of psychological, verbal, or physical abuse that occurs repeatedly among schoolchildren over a period. Statistically, the dominant type of violence is emotional and occurs mostly in the classroom and courtyard of schools. Bullying is a kind of torture, methodical and systematic, in which the aggressor sums up the victim, often with silence, indifference or complicity of other comrades. The author explains some characteristic and consequences of bullying. There is a significant difference between finding reasons and looking for excuses. The reasons why a child becomes a bully does not justify their misbehavior, but perhaps they will help us to understand it. On the part of the victim they do at their early age an insecure person, nervous, withdrawn, isolated, etc., many times the children no longer want to attend school for the same fear and in some extreme cases they arrive at the suicide. The damage lies primarily in their personal safety and low self-esteem to feel that their existence is worth little. This article pertains to my question regarding what is bullying because reading many articles I did not find a precise definition for
