“With bullying, the first thing to do in order to protect your child is to stop the bullying. This may be through encouraging your child to report the incidents to a teacher or the school administration. As a parent, you may have to help your child report the bullying to school administrators. The next step is to get help for your child. If they were one of the bullying victims, it is important to get them help. For some children and teens, they just need an outlet for their emotions maybe through art, writing in a journal, sports or other outlets. However, some teens face higher-risk emotions and need to be professionally treated. Through counseling or support groups, bullying victims can learn to move on and let go of their pain.” These are just some of the many ways that a person that has been bullied can deal with the bullying and aftermath effects of it. If some one is being bullied you should NEVER not do anything to help. I agree with Riley D. on that completely. Like Theodore Roosevelt said “In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing”
I completly agree with Destiny H people like KEERA G are doing the right thing. You don’t ever have to listen to anyones comments, or opinions except your own. Especially when they are being so negative about you. They may have a rough life at home, but it gives no reason or explanation to treat other people like that, its not treat people the way you are treated, its treat people the way you want to be treated.
People who are just sitting their and watching a child get bullied are bigger bullies than the bully themself. They think that they are doing whats best by staying out of it. Which you would normally think that its not your problem dont get involved, its just none of your buisness. But thats the mistake you should stick up for someone who is too afraid to stick up for themselves. Who cares if the bully thinks that you are a snitch or a wise guy. You might just save a life by standing up and saying something. So you should think about that the next time you see someone getting bullied. So use your voice and stick up for what you think and what you know is the right thing to do for yourself and that person.
Bullying has gotten out of control especially in this generation. The facts I read about bullying, and how the bullied victim(s) commited suicide, are rediculous. The article I read said that some parents and teachers are encouraging non-bullying, but it said most of them don’t even pay attention and I think that’s awful. To most kids, school is their happy place but to others – they can’t stand school or they are praying that that one kid isn’t there to pick on him or her. I say everybody should encourage non-bullying and that we should make a difference now before bullying ends up in OUR kids generation. Over the years I have committed bullying, and I’m here to say that I’m a changed guy and that I look at things totally differently since kids are committing suicide and I couldn’t have somthing like that on my shoulder’s. But im not gonna stop just because of suicide, also because it isn’t right to bully at all.
I have to agree with Destiny about bullies who either move on or try harder but most of the time it is try harder.Which ends up back fireing epicly in the bullies faces because they get frusterated and they cause themselves to slip up sooner or later. And when they slip up they end up getting caught or the child who is being bullied can expose the bully to a teacher and the bulllie endds up getting in trouble for what they have done.
People like Keera G. who ignore bullies are the strong ones because they learned to love themselves to the point where nobody can take away their happiness. Also when bullies see that they can’t break a person down they move on or simply try harder. Those who love themselves are strong enough physicaly and emotionaly that nobody can hurt them.
I Am So Sad I Bully Every One Who Got Them Fake Shoes On . Like For Example : Fake Jordans = Dead , Fubo = Extremly Dead , Uspa’s = Just Bye , These Kids think They Be Doing Stuff , & They Be Thinkin They FRESH , But Let Me Tell You Something Just Go Somewere Dang
Are you serious? With all that you have read in this discussion, you still take the postion that it is OK to bully. You need to see someone – a guidance counselor, a teacher, a therapist, a social worker, a right thinking relative . . . someone. Don’t give up on yourself, because as soon as you do, there is no hope for anyone else getting through to you. Reach out, my brother. You don’t have to walk around being so critical of others. Think of all the negativity you have brewing inside you when you feel this way towards others. Seriously, talk to someone about the way you feel and think and you will be more at peace.

Thanks for your contribution. I removed your last name to protect you from the possibility of identity theft.
Every year around 4,400 teenagers take their lives beacuse of bullying. Sadly, one out of every suicide shows at least one hundred other teens have attempted it. When a person is bullywd their chances are 2 to 9 times more likely of happening compared to non-victims. Half of high schoolers that have consider suicide have attempted it that percentage is 7 which is really high for such a thing. And I found quote for bullying, When people hurt you over and over, think of them like sand paper. They may scratch and hurt you a bit, but in the end, you end up polished and they end up useless.”
― Chris Colfer
Bullying is a form of intimidation or domination toward someone who is perceived as being weaker. It’s how some people decide to get what they want through some sort of force. It is also a way for someone to establish some sort of perceived superiority over another person. There are different types of bullying. While some may think that bullying mainly consists only of physical domination, the fact of the matter is that there are verbal and emotional forms of bullying as well. And, with the rise of the Internet, there are now instances of children being bullied online through email, chatrooms and on Facebook. It is even possible to be bullied through text messaging on a cell phone.

Bullying is a very serious problem and I think it should be stopped. So before you retaliate to a bully, you should think of a consequence to what you were just going to do. Seek help before you do anything else. If you are too shy to explain your situation, here are some pointers.
TIPS…
1. Try to resolve the situation while you are there
2. If the bullying persists, consult a school faculty member.
3. If you don’t want to do that, fight back. (I am not saying you should do what the guy did in the video, just fight back)
4. If no violence shall pass, then just get him back in other ways.
For example, if a bully is failing school and needs help, when he asks you to help him just say remember that time when… yeah, thought so.
5. This should have been #1. I know sometimes it’s hard, but try to stay out of their way. If encountering them is inevitable, then do tips 1-4.
HOPE THIS HELPS.
There are many different types of bullying. A few well known ones are verbal bullying, physical bullying, and cyber bullying. Verbal bullying is when someone says someting mean to you, or about you to someone else, gossiping, talking to a friend about some, even if you don’t spread it arond. Physical bullying is when someone actually hurts you, hitting, punching, kicking, or throwing(not necesarily you). And cyber bullying is when somene says anything hurtful online, or posts anything about you, words, photos, lies. No one wants to be bullied.
I agree with Meredith and also with Mr. Moshe. If you are a victim of bullying you should tell someone. You shouldn’t bottle up your feelings inside. It will feel a little better once you tell someone. Then they can comfort you, or take action against the bully, such as contacting the school and the principal if it is occuring at school.
this means that bullying is a big chaos around the world beacuse it can hurt or damage the person or the person’s family alot the kid may commit suicide so you have to be careful about what you do or what you say to one another. even on the interent (cyberbullying) can cause great damage.
So according to statistics reported by ABC News, nearly 30 percent of students are either bullies or victims of bullying, and 160,000 kids stay home from school every day because of fear of bullying!! That is a lot of students who are terrified of people bullying them, and sometimes we don’t even know its happening to them. One day they’ll seem fine at school and the next day,dead. 14% of students consider suicide and 7% attempt. How sad because no child should be going through depression at such a young age and to not want to live anymore because they can’t take it anymore! We have to find a way to put this to a stop,because its sad seeing kids ruin their lives.
I found that one out of every four high school students are bullies. That is ridiculous. I honestly don’t understand the need to bully another person. In the video it said that “bullies have a broken home” or “are bullied themselves” so they decide to take their own problems out on other people. If you have problems at home or somemone else is bullying you then you just need to talk to a counselor, not bully other people, that will get you no where in life and people will grow to hate you.
I learned that bullying can involve from children up into adults , where even your own teacher bully you. Now a days bullying is becoming a big deal and plus more and more kids commit suicide every year because of someone who is mean trying impress people, or just because someone else made you feel that way once and you think it’s okay for you to put someone through that cause you were once like that person. Later on in life , when bullies look back and see what they’ve done it’s heart broken. We should be nicer to one other and don’t bring people down make them feel happy about themselves .
I agree with everyone who says that bullying is hurtful and can cause a lot of pain. Also I think that one cause of people bullying is that they don’t or may not have a sense of direction of where they want to go in life, so that is the best thing they could think of to do. They may not have a lot of parent support or things aren’t going so great at home that they bully people to relieve themselves of their stress and depression. I also agree with Jenna because some topics are very important and are not publicized and talked about as much as they should be and people need to be educated on bullying so they can learn how to prevent it and know that it is okay to tell someone. Some kids who are bullied don’t want to say anything because they don’t want to be called a snitch. That should not matter.
I researched about Bullying Help. Some ways to help stop bullying are to encouraged teens to talk about bullying that takes place near them or even to them so this way people can be informed and try to stop it. Bullying can lead to suicide, and many teens take it as a joke and I don’t think that it has to be this way. Many bullies come from houses without parents and by bullying other kids they think that they are better or feel stronger or stuff like that and many others just do it to have “fun”.
Isn’t it disgusting to you that bullies think it’s “fun” to bully others? I fel bad for the bully. Don’t get me wrong. SOmeone along the way dropped the ball (failed) when it came to teaching these kids that it isn’t funny to hurt someone.
That brings me to the idea that a lot of young people today enjoy so many different forms of violence. This includes violent language, violent gestures, violent writing, and violent actions. I’m sure you can think of examples for eery kind of violence there is. What about language? When someone says something to you that hurts your feelings, that is considered verbal bullying.
People, one of your first priorities should be to try to reduce the amount of pain in hte world. Keep that in mind in EVERY situation.
He had every right to hit back, he should not have been bullying the kid. That was sad for that little kid to be bullying that big kid. If i was beening bullying i would have been hit back. Maybe he was bullying because he was beening bullying at home or he came from a bad home.
Most people would say they have the “general” idea of bullying and it’s topics. But honestly unless you see it in action, you are a lot more clueless than you think. I myself admit that this discussion has told me a lot about bullying that I didn’t know. Like the statistic I read: “70-90% of people have experienced bullying,” that just blows my mind. Also the information about how 14% of kids consider suicide, that makes me so upset. How careless can a person be to hurt someone so bad they don’t want to live anymore? My advice to everyone, ALWAYS think before you act. This might not seem like important advice to you, but you never know, you might just end up saving a life. Also to those who are victims of bullying, know that there are people who love you and will always be there for you. Bullying is wrong and even though it will probably never be fully stopped, you can stop yourself.
I learened that kids that bully want to be the best at everything, they are thinking that they are all that and a bag of chips, its a expresion that says they are full of them selves and they only care about themselves.This is the pecent of people who were bullied every day (8%),every week, but not every day (7%),once in a while, but not every week (33%),never (52%), and about 42% of them bullied others after they had been bullied 22% said they bullied others once in a while,5% said they bullied others every week,15% said they bullied others every day. This is interesting information cause with only 42% turning to bulling after being bullied means that they dont all do it so think about what you are about to say to someone before you say it because it could impact the rest of there life, remember if you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything at all.
I like your stats run down. Tony, find out how many people TOTAL were polled? That will give us a very clear idea of the actual number of people we’re talking about here.

Bullying is a very common but terrible thing in our society. When a bully victim is suffering, they usually find help through their parents. Their parents can offer encouraging words to remind them that they are beautiful no matter what. In some cases bullying may be very serious and it could threaten the life of the victim. When this happens, the problem is usually solved throughout legal actions to punish the bully.
Knowing that most suicide that happens to children is from being bullied. Being involved with your child’s social life can be a helpful thing, so you know if anyone is threating them or leading them to do bad things that might harm them or other people. If bullying has occured then it is good to talk with the school about the situation. Bullying is a horrible thing to experience, no one should have to go through it.
Knowing that most suicide that happens to children is from being bullied. – This is an incomplete sentence. Besides that, I am moved by what you wrote, especially this part, “Being involved with your child’s social life can be a helpful thing.” I am moved into another perspective.
I want to impress upon you all that you should NEVER feel like you can’t or shouldn’t tell someone if you are being bullied. What I have gotten out of all this is that victims of bullying are relatively silent about it – especially the suicide ones. They kept it all in. You know as well as I do that children want to seem strong, nothing can shake them up, nothing can drag them down, invincible. Well guess what? None of us are impevious to bullying. The only way to deal with this thing is to communicate about it. Most kids today, if asked by a parent or a teacher if they are being bullied will answer, “No.” or “I can handle it” or “Oh, it’s nothing.” or the most popular one I hear, “Oh, he was just playing.”
Truth is those little comments said in jest are hurtful. Think about a steady line of falling pebbles hitting a boulder at the bottom of a ravine. The boulder will eventually crack – it will be completely destroyed – under the steady beating of the pebbles. You are the boulder. The pebbles are the bullying going on. Nothing can stand up to it if it is allowed to continue. If they ask, tell your parents about your feelings – you’re feeling sad, depressed, angry, like you’re goin to blow, like you want to be alone – tell ’em why you’re feeling that way.
None of you are ever alone. You may think you are at times, but you are not. You never have to be. And I have another bulletin for you, specifically for some of you this year who I’ve seen looking down a lot (figuratively and literally a the floor), quietly keeping to yourself . . . those of you who think you WANT to be alone, you don’t. You’re hiding yourself away from us, and leading yourself down a dark road. You think it’s cool to be different in that way, but what good is it if you keep to yorself so much that when you do need help, you feel uncomfortable asking for it. I and your classmates see it. Talk to us.
Hey, I’m not saying stop listening to the music you want to listen to. Well, maybe I am. Aw, who knows.
Just get outside your self.
It is when we feel truly isolated that we become hopeless. Don’t isolate yourselves. This is the core of the issue. A lot of times suicide victims become victims because they isolated themselves and didn’t tell anyone what a hell they were living in. No one knows if you don’t tell anyone. Seems simple . . . and it is. Talk to us. We are all here for you. Reach out to your friends, your parents, your teachers, your guidance counslors – heck even reach out to your friend’s parents if you want to – just reach out to someone. And hey you friends of isolators, reach in to them. Help them come out to us. Tell them you love them. Not jockingly. For real. Your friends can be there for you for the rest of your life, and you can live a really really REALLY long time. They can only be there if you LET THEM. Let them in . . . to your feelings.
WHEW . . . . Thanks for that Meredith. If I had tried to say that in class, right in front of all you beautiful souls, you know what would have happened? You know me well enough to answer that yourselves. I’m not isolating. That’s for sure.
I’m glad you did another discussion topic about bullying, because you can never know too much when it comes to huge problems like these. I researched facts about Teenage bullying, because this is affecting my generation right now. Teenage boys tend to be more of the physical type of bullying, while the girls are more mentally and emotionally hurtful. Technology is another big factor when it comes to teenage bullying, teens have the most access and knowledge when it comes to bullying. The article states that it’s very difficult to prevent bullying at this age. However if the victim stays in groups or close to adults they are safer. The best way to get through hard times is to stay positive and seek the help you need.
Bullying has always been a factor in American but until now, it has never been such a big deal. Some have stated that the origin of bullying comes from someone who has been physically of mentally abused and has not been alleviated of the pain another being has caused so they take it out on others. This may cause very unfortunate incidents, such as death, suicide and etc.
I have a link off of tumblr of this girl who has evidently been a victim of bullying, and the video is her response to a random person stating “kill yourself.”

Bullying can be a really terrible experience for a child. It can cause physical and emotional harm, and damage a child for a long time. It can be really hard to deal with a bully. It’s helpful when the bully’s parents and school is involved to take care of the situation. Another important thing is to help kids understand that it is unacceptable to harm others in any sort of way. Bullying can have long lasting effects on people. What happens during their childhood can affect the rest of their life, so it is important to deal with the bully early on in life.
I learned that there is physical, emotional, verbal, and electronic bullying. All of these can cause pain and hurt to children who are victims of bullying. I have heard stories on the news and internet of bullying causing children to commit suicide. I know that hate is a strong word, but I hate that there are children who deal with this on a regular basis and I just do not understand why everybody cannot learn to be respectful to each. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!
There are many types of bullying like verbal, physical, social, and cyber bullying. Also, bullying is just not only occur with teenagers or children, but it can happen to adults too. People who bully usually do it because others are different, which I think is very wrong.
At least 70-90% of all human beings have gone through bullying in high school or middle school maybe even in elementary school where things were all fun and games – no one was supossed to get hurt.
Most of the people who do bully have at least once been bullied themselves and are just trying too get back at whoever bullied them or are just trying to get the attention off of themselves and put it onto other people.
In middle school there’s alot of bullying through Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and even through text messages. They call it “Facebook thuggin” or “cyber thugs” because they don’t think that the person will actauly retaliate to their nonesense in person. The teens that do retaliate in person are considered “real” because they’re about their business and come up to you. To me that’s honestly dumb, it’s trying to put this front up and say their so hard! But for what? for people to like you? And know, “Oh don’t mess with her!” I think that’s why bullies are so deep in our communitites, people want too fit in with the rest of the peers instead of being them and being unique.
Bullying is a serious problem that 70-90% of people in their lifetime have dealt with. It really doesn’t benefit anyone, but it’s worse for the person getting abused. And with about fourteen percent of students of students in high school that have considered suicide, it shows that this problem has only gotten worse. I guess we figure the person should just deal with it, or suck it up but no one should be going through it ever. It’s never okay to put someone down because of their differences.
And middle school is wear it’s most common. About half of all suicide deaths were caused because of bullying. And it’s getting easier, because they can do it through text, Facebook, and any ohter form of cyberbullying.
On average, 14% of high school students have considered suicide… SUICIDE. The killing of one’s own self. I cannot bare to imagine what one must go through to actually have the slightest consideration of suicide. 14% amounts to approximately 1 out of every 6 or 7 students. So basically in a regular high school class of 21 students or so, 3 of them have seriously considered committing suicide. Also the link from suicide to bullying is strong. It amounts to about half of all suicides caused by bullying. Just imagine the brutality and cruelty people endure to consider suicide. I am still trying to grasp the severity of this situation, unbelievable.
Bullying is very very common in school, especially in middle school. There are laws that prevent and deal with bullies and bullying. Many states have passed these laws and many more are continuing to do so. Some states are revising and making their present bullying laws better to try to prevent bullying. But people think that bullying laws should be a national law. Lots of schools have programs that teacher staff members how to prevent and help students if they are bullied.
Bullying is a very serious matter and most kids don’t take it that way. Especially the bullies. They think that it’s cool when you pick on people and theythink it’s funny when its not. Almost at least half of all suicides in young people are related to bullying. There are at least 4,800 suicides in teens each year, and for every suicide, there are 300 attempted suicides. Over 14 percent of high school have thought about doing suicide. My teacher had a friend in high school who was bullied a lot. One day, he gave all of his friends a gift. The next day, he had jumped off the empire state building. Some adults still think that bullying is a part of growing up. 4,800 kids will never grow up BECAUSE of bullying .
I looked into the bullying help section, and cyber bullying in particular. Some tips to stop cyber bullying included contacting the bully’s internet/cell phone provider, not taking away your child’s phone/computer to “protect” them, and encouraging your child not to retaliate. Retaliating can often cause more bullying. So follow these tips and read a few more to prevent cyber bullying.
Suicide and Teenage bullying go hand in hand most of the time. Children get tired of the pain so much they feel like nothing is worth being bullied over. So they decide that taking their lived will take away all of their pain. But they dont think about how much pain they will cause everyone around them if they did decide to kill themselves. Suicide is the third most common result of bullying, bullies just don’t know when to stop. I saw this movie called Cyberbu//y it is a really good movie it tells a story about how a teenage girl goes through life being bullied by her best friend who posed as a guy who was interested in the victim online. But the bully took it to far and the victim tried to kill herself but she didn’t and then once she got better she spoke out against bulying and help change her town and online bulling in that area.
Bullying is has a strong connection with suicide. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people (children, teenagers, etc.), resulting in about 4,400 deaths per year. For every suicide among young people, there are at least 100 suicide attempts. Bully victims are between 2 to 9 times more likely to consider suicide than non-victims. The statistics given on the website provided are unbelievable. 4,400 children/teenagers kill themselves because of something another person said. Can you believe this? It’s crazy. If no one had opened their mouth, those 4,400 children/teenagers would be alive at this very moment, if fate hadn’t already gotten to them.
There are many types of bullying, like physical, emotional, verbal, etc. Verbal warning is when you bully someone with words, like name-calling.School bullying happens at school. Most kids in middle school are being bullied. Physical bullying is when the bully is physically hitting or hurting you. Cyber bullying happens online through chat rooms, on Facebook, or any other social network. Emotional bullying is when somebody hurts your feelings by lowering your self-esteem, like when someone calls you fat or ugly. Female bullying is when a girl bullies someone. This means that boys and girls can both be bullies. Workplace bullying is when a person or group of people that work together leave someone out or make them feel unwanted because of something embarrassing they did. This type of bullying can lead to negative results, like stress or anxiety. Text bullying is when someone sends a harmful text to someone or others about a person, like an embarrassing photo of yourself eating. Parents can also be bullies. Harassing is also a type of bullying. All of these types or bullying can lead to suicides so please stop the bullying!
I think bullying is a horrifying experience. People that bully others have most likely bullied. They also come from a broken home as the girl said in the video various times. When people are being bullied they feel less about themselves and they think of suiside. Most poeople think about it, some attempt it, and others actually die. When someone that has been bullying others find that that person is dead they should feel horrible about themselves. People shouldn’t pick on others just because it has happened to them or because they come from a broken family. Just like the girl said in the video school should be thier happy place. When someone picks on somebody else they should go to juvenile detention.
