Recommended: A brief look at bullying

Register to read the introduction…

“Yeah? Well-” Before I could say a comeback, the girl left. Her name was Jenna Richard, and she bullied me for about a month and a half. Every day at lunch, Jenna would come over to our lunch table, make fun of my food or of what I was reading and leave before we could say anything. My friends of course tried to stand up for me, but it was no use. I decided to go to my teacher after lunch to talk to her about Jenna. But we both had the same teacher after lunch, and when I told my teacher about Jenna bullying me, she called Jenna up and asked her if it was true. But Jenna told her that I was completely wrong, and that I was the one bullying her. When the teacher asked some other people as witnesses, they told her mixed answers. Some were telling the truth and saw it happening, but Jenna’s close friends were telling the teacher that I was bullying her. As she didn’t know what to do, the teacher gave us both extra homework that was due directly the day after. The next day, when the teacher asked for the homework, I gave the completed worksheets, while Jenna had done only a few problems, saying that she didn’t deserve the homework since she was “innocent”. But the teacher surprised us both by telling us that she was taking the combined score of the worksheets as a test grade, which meant that Jenna was probably going to get her grade in that class lowered significantly. I like to think of that as a minor “sentence” for bullying me and lying to a

Alex barely knew Ms. Pearson. So why would she falsely accuse someone she barely knew of bullying her? She wouldn’t! Ms. Pearson is known for causing trouble the year before in junior high as said by Principal Li after responding to an email a week later that was sent by Ms. Francis. Also she changed a student 's background on the computer to an inappropriate picture and when a teacher came by and saw the picture, Ms. Pearson didn’t get in trouble for doing it, the student did and the student wasn’t even in the room when Ms. Pearson did it. Ms. Pearson like to pull pranks and jokes on folks just for the fun of it but never even think about the results of what or how it might affect that individual. Even when she was taunting Alex with those harsh text messages and MyFace postes she probably never even stop to think about how Alex would felt when seeing and reading what Ms.Pearson and fellow classmates were saying. Alex tried to ignore the situation but she couldn’t because it was getting out of hand. Ms. Pearson was mad because Alex told the counselor about the messages and the posts and knew that if she wasn’t going to get in trouble with the school, she was going to get in trouble some other

  • The Perils of Bullying

    2482 Words  | 5 Pages

    “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.” These words have been repeated countless times, but they are not accurate. In truth, words can kill. Bullying has become a highlighted problem within our society, and bullying in the school systems is even more prominent. According to the news, there are countless cases of bullying, many of which do not have happy endings. The rates of suicide due to bullying are currently higher than they have ever been before. Suicide is the third top causes of death in young people within the United States, averaging at 4,400 deaths a year, with over 50% of these deaths as a result of some sort of bullying. Studies also show that there are 100 suicide attempts for every one successful suicide performed (“Bullying and Suicide”). These numbers are disturbingly high. Bullying is affecting more kids in ways that some adults may never understand. The fact that words and actions can lead to cutting and suicides is still a distant concept to some and needs to be brought to immediate attention. Laws are now being put into place to prevent these tragedies, but what is really being done to prevent them within the schools or even within the students’ homes? There is a lot of finger pointing when it comes to this topic. But we all want to know what the cause is behind this nationwide crisis and who is responsible for it.

  • The Experience of Being Bullied

    900 Words  | 2 Pages

    Sticks and stones may break my bones but words feel more like daggers. This simply says that mere name-calling does give rise to a cause of action. It is not necessary to be physically harmed in order to suffer lasting harm. Bullying is usually the intimidation, the process of intimidating or mistreating someone weaker or in a more vulnerable state. This could be teasing or taunting a class mate because they are in some way different. But what happens when our school yard bully becomes our Facebook harasser? This is definitely nothing new to society but thanks to the internet, instant messaging programs, E-mails, text messaging and social networks teens are now being bullied online. Some may feel that bullying is a part of growing up, they may assume that it builds character but in many cases this form of harassment has become a huge problem and the results have become fatal. The experience of being bullied can cause lasting damages to an individual. Victims of cyber bullying may endure and experience long-term emotional damage, anger, low self-esteem, depression, suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts.
