BULLYING
Bullying is occurring right now... At this minute... At this second... It can happen to anyone at any age, any race, and gender, anyone. Bullying is a crime that we all need to get under control. There is more than one type of bullying. Cyber bullying is now today most of the common bullying type. Its so easy for children to get bullied social media. Nearly half of students have experienced getting bullied or have been intimidated. Cyber bullying is type of bullying that everyone can see. It can be on any social media center, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter,Snap chat and Instagram. Even though Cyber bullying still happens, the rate has
dropped to 21.5 percent.
That's down from 27.8 percent in 2011, and a high of 31.7 percent in
2007. The percentage of students who reported being cyber bullied also
fell to 6.9 percent in 2013, down from 9 percent in 2011.
Female students also still consistently experience higher-than-average rates of victimization. Female students are significantly more likely than male students to be
made fun of, called names or insulted (14.7 percent compared with 12.6
percent), to be the subject of rumors (17 percent compared with 9.6
percent) and to be excluded from activities on purpose (5.5 percent
compared with 3.5 percent). Male students who were bullied were more
likely than female students to be pushed, shoved, tripped or spit on. Text messages spread like wildfire, messages and pictures can get sent to anyone with a phone. It can get sent in things called "group messages". Children who get bullied are scared to go to school and when they do go to school they are most likely found with a weapon so they can feel safe. Young kids are getting bullied at school on playground, in classes and in the halls. Teenagers are getting bullied online, and at school. Adult are getting bullied at work or in stores. There are plenty of movies that teach us about bullying. I have watch a movie called "Mean Girls" for a long time this movie is about 4 teenage girls in high school and they are called the "plastics". Everyone looked up to them like they are some type of treasure. The Plastics have a burn book. The burn book is a book where they write things about every girl in the junior class and some teachers and then they glue the picture of the person they are talking about in the book. None of the rest of the school knew about the burn book until one day on of the plastics got mad at the other plastics and made over 5000 copies of the whole burn book and went and told the principle about it. At the end of the movie all of the junior girls had to meet in the Gym and they had to say something that was on their mind and then they had to do a trust fall. I think this movie teaches a lot about bullying. My personal opinion on bullying is that we have all done it before but its all none sense. I don't think that anyone personally needs to be bullying anyone it doesn't matter what its about. A lot of children get greatly affected by bullying. I just think we all need to get along and find the greatness in everyone instead of picking out all of the negativity in someone. If people didn't classify people and put people in to groups then I think the world would be some what better.
