Bullying In The Philippines

Meghan Neal of Daily News puts it to awareness of how many students that could be. She said “nearly 1 in 6 high school students has seriously considered suicide, and 1 in 12 has attempted it.” This really puts it to perspective on how students feel about their lives after being bullied. This isn’t healthy. There are many people today who still believe that they should commit suicide because they are put so low in life.

The problem with gun violence in schools has existed for years, and something should be done to eliminate the problem that endangers students who attend schools every day. One recent incident with gun violence in schools occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary School where several young children were killed and many others injured (Elliott 529). Also, a bombing incident in 1927 killed thirty-seven children and was likely the start of school gun violence (Elliott 529). Children, who attend schools, sometimes do not feel safe because of the problem with gun

On the contrary, kids who bully are likely concerned with being popular, very aggressive, bossy, and view violence as a positive thing. A school in Delaware did a survey in 2015 on random sample of 457 students from the ages of 11-15. The results showed that 34.4% have been cyberbullied, 10.1% have been threatened through a cell phone, and 4.6%

According to an article by The National Review titled “The Salem Epidemic,” a New Jersey preschool teacher, Kelly Michaels, was charged with over one hundred counts of abuse and torture of children under her care. Even though testimonies were delusional, the mass hysteria created around the case, influenced the Jury to find her guilty. In a New York Times article “The Devil in the Nursery,” by author Margaret Talbot, points out the levels of hysteria reached by society; for instance, in one occasion a black robe thought to be used in the claimed satanic rituals, turned out to be Peggy Buckeys graduation gown. In addition, Talbot

People all over the world have been suffering from bullying for a long time. Bullying comes in many forms including abuse, cyberbullying, and many other harsh tactics. The stories of two children, Ashley and Josh, help us see that although bullying is a terrible thing, there are ways to stop it. Ashley and Josh are both teenagers with bullying problems. Their stories share many similarities and differences that help us see how we can put a stop to bullying in our own lives if the situation ever arises.

This issues can affect anyone but it most commonly affects teenagers. Schools should be concerned because bullying might affect students that attend their school and it can also impact how they function at school. Cyberbullying happens all the time and their are many victims, Schools have been stepping in and trying to help but some people say that schools have no right to do anything

In the report by (Borum, Cornell, Modzeleski, & Jimerson, 2010), revenge as a cause for school shootings is mentioned and other studies too have shown that students who commit mass murder in schools are often bullied and suffer from rejection in school (Leary, Kowalski, Smith, & Phillips, 2003). In schools there are often a group of popular people who are extroverted and often participate in social events, are well known by others for their charismatic personalities and often good looks. Some students struggle to ‘fit in’ into the school community due to maybe a lack of social skills or lack of confidence. These students are often bullied and teased at school in front of others, therefore suffer from severe rejection and public humiliation (Leary, Kowalski, Smith, & Phillips, 2003). These cases show actual rejection however some students who are more introverted and spend more time alone may feel rejected by other students even if this is not necessarily the case and they are simply withdrawing themselves from the school

This is proof that exercising these programs primarily at school is not the solution, which indicates more needs to be done in these children’s homes. According to Maslow’s hierarchy, there are needs that must be met for children and without the needs being meet, it results in unacceptable behaviors like bullying. If parents at home can become aware of what is happening in schools, then parents can meet the children’s needs and educate them on how to be an advocate for

Three pressing issues that are facing adolescent girls are bullying, substance abuse and eating disorders. Bullying is a pressing issue among adolescents in general and it is a growing worldwide phenomenon. Statistics Canada has reported that at least 1 in 3 teens have reported being bullied (Canadian Bullying Statistics, 2012). Teenage girls specifically resort to a different type of bullying and aggression than their male counterparts. Teenage girls resort to relational aggression to bully each other.

Since 2012, 57 students in the United States have died from gun-related school violence issues. Since 2012, 0 students in Australia, 4 students in Canada, and 2 in Mexico have died from gun-related school violence issues. As proven by research, the U.S. has serious school violence numbers. Mentor High School is a mixing pot of a new generation wanting to change this violence. School should always be a safe place and with administrator and board approval, Mentor High could

In reality, school violence statistics show that few students are killed at school, though every instance of a school shooting is a tragedy that affects entire communities and even the rest of the nation and the world. Students are much more likely, however, to be the victims of other types of school violence that are not fatal, but can have lasting negative effects on students and their educational experience. Even non-physical forms of teen violence like bullying can have serious consequences. The government tracks incidents of school violence and reports them in the Indicators of School Crime and Safety reports, where most of these figures came from violent crimes at school. Serious violent crimes at school hit a peak in the 1990s, when a series of school shootings and copycat shootings claimed the lives of a relatively large number of students.

In “Turning off the School-to-Prison Pipeline,” Henry Wilson notes that the zero-tolerance policy has become a significant contributor to the raised number of young individuals being marked as a failure and eventually lead up to belonging in the justice system. Schools have become one of the biggest contributors to the raised number of young individuals being sent to prison in America. “Prisons spawn a new generation of future prisoners: there are more than two million children with at least one incarcerated parent, and these youth are five times more likely to end up in prison themselves” (49). Due to the 80’s and 90’s increased crime rate, people began to fear those in urban areas leading to the increased penalties for juvenile offenders.

Bullying can cause kids to have negative physical, school, and mental health issues. A new study based on a survey of more than 15,000 American high school students found that victims of bullying are nearly twice as likely to carry guns and other weapons at school, according to Julia Lurie. Going back to Dylan Klebold and Eric

For example, “[a] 2009 survey of 7,000 LGBT aged 13-21 revealed… 8 of 10 students had been verbally harassed at school, 4 out of 10 had been physically harassed at school, 6 of 10 felt unsafe at school, 1 of 5 had been the victim of a physical assault at school” signifying, that children are being targeted and bullied because of their differences (‘Discrimination” 1). In this case the difference is sexual orientation. These children choose to embrace what they

Cyberbullying is a growing issue around the world and can lead to emotional distress among students. Students that are bullied online are often more moody and have social anxiety, that can sometimes lead to suicide. Christopher Davison and Carl Stein discuss the issues of cyberbullying in their article, “The Dangers of Cyberbullying.” According to Katzer, Fetchenhauer, and Belschak, “75% of school-age minors experienced cyberbullying aggression at least once in the last year” (qtd. in Davison and Stein). Cyberbullying is a severe issue that can be reduced among school-aged minors.
