Have you ever been called a trouble child? All my life i’ve been called a trouble child or a trouble maker. Every since the 5th grade I think that’s when it all happened. When I was 10 yrs old I went to Durant Tuuri Mott elementary school, at that school I use to get bullied a lot. During the school day I didn’t have any type of friends that I could communicate with. I didn’t have a soul to go to when situations use to get bad like to the point where I wanted to cry. Sometimes I used to be scared to go out the classroom to get my lunch. My old friend switched up on me because I was a so called “LAME” I guess. She wanted to be one of the cool known popular kids, I was just a laid back kid that always have (has) stayed quiet. One time she wanted me to pull another individual's hair and laugh then run, so I did it being dumb thinking that she’ll still be my friend if I made her happy by doing something she wanted me to do. However, as Robert E. Lee said “Never do a wrong thing to make a friend, or …show more content…
to keep one.” I made a mistake by following what she told me to do. I ended up getting kicked out, all the popular girls started to laugh I felt really horrible about what I did. The following year I was 11 yrs old in the 6th grade, that was the day I messed up my life. I got tired of people picking with me. It’s like I couldn’t take the pain anymore. I felt like the only thing that would stop the bullying was to do what I had to do, which was fight the bully so she wouldn’t pick with me again. One day she followed me outside during the winter time calling me names, I turned around and she had a snowball in her hand… in a blink of an eye she launched it at my face. I cried and cried, Next thing you know is that I picked up one and launched it right back then she wanted to fight me. I never really had been in an actual fight so I was scared. I didn’t p know if should run or just let it happen. “Whatever they did or said to you, it’ll come back on them.” never let someone fool you, you never know what happens behind closed doors. That night I had planned everything out like, the things that i’ll say, how i’m going to say it & when\ what time it’ll happen. The next day I put a knife in my book bag and a can of green beans.
I wasn’t that smart to notice that I would get into a lot of trouble. I told someone that I would stab the girl when I see her because I got tired of her picking with me. The person I told ended up telling the nurse, the nurse came and got my book bag and took it to the principal to tell him what my plan was to do with the knife. The same girl I told my plan to, she ended up telling me that my book bag was missing. I walked out the class to check next thing I notice is that the principal was coming up the ramp all angry with his cherry red face pointing his finger saying “come here right now” in his angry voice. I was scared.. I felt like I ruined my whole life by doing without thinking. I thought that she would keep it a secret, I didn’t know that my life was over after that situation. My mom was pissed off because I never told her about the situation at all. When I got home it wasn’t a good site to
see. Now I feel like I have changed my ways over the years. I try to stay away from any negativity because it’l bring up my past. At times I still look back and say that I’ll never put myself in the same predicament as before. I feel like I have gotten better over the years. Like Alan Moore said “The past can’t hurt you anymore, not unless you let it in.” It’s saying that you should always focus on your future and stop worrying about your past when you have a whole life planned ahead of you. As my kindergarten teacher says “ Be the best individual that you could be, don’t be who everyone else wants you to be. I learned that if you struggle in life, always find different ways to handle it. The anger and sadness will build inside you and sometimes well most of the time you might want to explode and just try to hurt everyone including yourself in any type of way. Don’t do any of those things go and talk to a trusted adult. If you don’t you’ll regret those things in a long run. Think about the things I have did, don’t be like me. Do something better to not make any type of situations worse.
Whoever may been a victim of bullying or are the bullies was once a kid and they believed in something with all their heart, maybe it was that they didn’t like how smart you are, your clothes, or how you talk. It’s how they feel towards you to make them not like you. And they use to have friends, friends they can hang out with, talk to and just be these themselves with, but when they started being bullied for being different they’re friends not hanging out with, talking to them and don’t want to be friends with them because they’re afraid to get bullied just like just like that person. And it’s hard for people like that to survival if they’re just getting picked on by students or adults. You think “it’s just a phase, they’ll come out of it” or “they just need to talk to people to get them to notice them”, but it’s not that it’s they don’t feel like they fit in with everyone because everyone is very different form them and when they try to talk to people they
6th grade came and my friends and I were split up, and some of my friends were in the same hall as me. I was put into what the students called “the dumb hallway”, some people weren’t as smart as the other kids in a different hallway but, let’s get back on track. Begin called a “dumb kid” started a little of my depression. I didn’t do my homework unless, it was important and I didn’t do my classwork at the best of my ability. I used my phone to read a lot instead of paying attention

A child advocate is guided by their advocacy coordinator which enables them to perform a thorough investigation of the case.
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are the extremely traumatic events that take place in an individual’s childhood that negatively affect their future attempts to succeed in life. ACEs include enduring physical and verbal abuse, living in dysfunction and over exposure to violent and criminal behavior. It was determined that children who are in the child welfare system are more likely to suffer ACEs and develop physical and mental health issues as well as engage in risky behavior (Brown & Shillington, 2017); children who suffer ACEs also have lower self-efficacy than other children. In all of the research prior to this study, much of the focus was on the psychological and behavioral outcomes of ACEs and what children were more susceptible to them. The problem that the researchers in this study have identified is that in no prior research has anyone
The funny thing is the harder I try, I cannot seem to remember my “friends” name. She moved within the first year of my being there and besides I have a horrible memory. We played with each other over the summer and went to school in the fall. Within the first week one of the “popular” girls told me that if I continued to be friends with this girl, I could not be in the crowd because they did not like this girl. I selected friendship over popularity and this affected my self esteem for the rest of my school years. The popular people begin avoiding me and out and out calling me names. They would taunt me telling me how ugly I was, how my face was filled with pimples, how I was smelly, how I looked like a giraffe, and so on.
At the age of eight I was bullied not only by my classmates but people of both genders whom some I considered to be my friends. It was not only my weight. I had short hair and crooked teeth. I thought that I was normal. I would be left out of games; I was not allowed to be friends with certain people of both sexes. When I look back it
I am a 15 year old student from Waukon High School in Iowa, and I wanted to talk to you about child abuse. I think that child abuse is a terrible thing, and the people that do it should be sent away for a long time. The people that do it are terrible people because they abuse children that did not do anything to them. They should never gain their right to see their children, or be able to go near any children, and be with them by themselves, or with anybody else that wants to hurt children. The people that hurt the innocent children should be questioned and accounted guilty for child abuse. They could not be ruder and treat the children with more disrespect than they already do.
If you knew me in the sixth grade you would have loved me. I was extremely popular but not for sports or anything cool i was just extremely bad. Everyone found my behavior funny. I wanted to keep everyone laughing and keep building my reputation because wanted to be known by everyone. I hated the things that did but i never forgot to love myself.
A break is always welcome, especially when you’ve been toiling hard day and night. And when this break is a family getaway, it becomes even more special. While planning a holiday with kids does need a lot of meticulous planning and back-ups, once you are at the destination remember that you are there to relax and have fun with your family. A lot of parents usually get the jitters when they set out on a holiday for the first time with their kids.
A. Disruptive Student Behavior Sarah getting out of her chair at inappropriate times is distracting to other classmates and some of the other students get out of their chair, also, at random times. Sarah does not sit well in her seat. She gets out of her chair at the wrong time and walks around the classroom. This causes a distraction for others in the class with some other students getting out of their chairs. They see Sarah wandering at inappropriate times, so they feel they can do the same.
I was so self-conscious and honestly never thought much of myself; all I knew were the negatives. But I was always nice to everyone though, that was an important thing to me. I believed that if I was nice eventually they would stop with the bullying; this is something I would always say to myself to keep my hopes up. I was surprised though when I began high school; it felt as if everyone had totally forgot about how they would pick on me, it took all this for me to finally realize that I shouldn’t have let that happen to me. It was Friday, December 21, 2012 that I was lying in my room going through my thoughts that I finally asked myself why I don’t feel confident. It was the day I realized that I’m gorgeous, intelligent, and wise and that I shouldn’t think any less and if that anybody had anything to say otherwise I wouldn’t care. It took me all those years of bullying to finally feel genuinely happy, and secure with who I am now and to finally rip that mask off and embrace me. I thank my bullies actually because without them Chisom Stella Okafor wouldn’t be like
The first day I walked into class I was stared at from head to toe by all these kids. Some laughed and whispered to other students. I had my hair braided and was wearing very bagy looking pants and a RBD shirt(mexican pop singers) , as I sat down a girl who was white asked me if I spoke english. I immediately looked at her and said “yes.” she turns back to her friends and say “doesn’t sound like it”I had felt so embarrassed and ashamed of myself.I didn’t have any friends the first school year , I was labeled as the “bean girl”. I had rarely ever spoke or interacted in class because , of how embarrassed I was on the person who I was. My grades started going down and I would get in trouble by the teacher for not interacting. I was constantly bullied by fellow classmates and at times they would intended to get me in trouble for things I never did.I was lost and confused at such a young age. These girls were picking on me just for being the person I was for
The article, “Bullies and Their Victims”, by Berk (2010) gives an analysis of how bullies and their victims develop, what makes them persistent and how they and their victims can be assisted. Bullying is an activity that thrives mostly in a school setting because of peers and the various cultures and diversities among them. Interactions are inevitable among children, but bullying is destructive because it aims at peer victimisation. Both boys and girls have the ability to become bullies but the majority of them are boys who use physical and verbal attacks on their victims. In the more recent generations, the means of bullying is amplified in the adolescent stage by using electronic means like cyber bullying. Students will rarely like bullies but if they do, it is because of their leadership abilities or influential personalities. Their peers may join or stand by to watch as the victims are bullied.
I never had the courage to tell anyone in my situation, so I was still attending the same school. In addition, as time passed by bullying kept getting worse. At this point people were using the internet to post mean things about me and everyone from school would find out. Some people did not have to courage to say things in person, but used a screen to make me feel like the worst person. 7th grade was even harder because that is when I started getting depressed. In fact, it was the year where I would have to wake up for school and pretend I was doing good, when in reality I was dying inside. The rude comments never stopped and I would have to deal with it because I did not want the teachers or even my mother to find out. Every time when school ended I would come straight home to my room; sit in the corner of my room and cried silently until I would fall asleep. On the other hand, I had a lack of appetite and I started hurting
