...---------------------------------------------------------- 11 - 12 IIA. INTRODUCTION In our everyday life, we always receive opinions from other people. These can be criticisms and good or bad comments. We are free to express these opinions but there are some who express it over that sometimes they may hurt someone’s feelings. If this will be repeatedly done and is getting worse that they can really affect the mental behavior of someone, then this will be called as bullying. Bullying is the repeated and systematic harassment or attack on someone. It is a habitual abuse and forcing someone to act in involuntary manner. Actually there are three types of bullying; emotional, verbal and physical. The most common thing is the verbal bullying. It’s the bullying with the use of words. It can be a form of racial comments, sexual comments, insults and name-calling. This type of bully is done everywhere but for students, verbal bullying is common in schools. Words are...

...sensationalized the many killers, often times looking to diagnose them with some sort of mental illness instead of digging deeper into the environment of the individuals who commit these acts of violence. In particular, I am interested in examining the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, as well as the UC-Santa Barbara shooting. What I am particularly interested in learning more about is the media’s reaction to these two shootings in conjunction, as one was done at an elementary school with children ages 5-11, whereas the other was done on a college campus. This interests me because Asperger Syndrome is a social disorder, and the social scene of an elementary school is quite different from the social scene of a university. By providing statistical data, victim and killer testimonials, and historical data, I will make the main claim that the media has sensationalized school shootings and too often jumped to the conclusion that Asperger Syndrome is to blame, instead of investigating the environment surrounding the killer. Moreover, I look to prove the point that the media is, instead, a large enabler of these violent activities, for ever since the rise of mass coverage of school shootings, there has been a significant spike in violence at educational institutions. Overall, I hope my research will bring to light the massive impact the media has on young minds, and...

...Adolescents’ Perspective on Bullying and How to Eradicate it: A Survey Bullying can happen anywhere. It may happen to children or adults in places such as: in the home, at public facilities, on the bus, in the parks, in the neighborhood or at school. Bullying has been a major social problem that is faced by the modern community, The classic definition of bullying by Olweus (1993) is defined as an aggressive, intentional act or behavior that is carried out by a group or individual repeatedly and over time against a victim who cannot easily defend him or herself (Smith, Mahdavi, & Tippett, 2008). McKenzie (2004) and Stover (2006) agreed that over the past decades, concerns to the prevalence of social problems experienced by children and youth has increased, such as bullying and depression, in addition Donbrowski and Gischlar (2006) stated that bullying robs children of dignity and could have adverse consequences for their social, emotional, behavioral and academic development (Lai, Ye, & Chang, 2008). According to www.bullyingstatistics.com teens or adolescents on 6th to 10th grade are the most likely to be involved in activities related to bullying on a regular basis either as a victim, bully or both. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Adolescents is defined as a young people between the age of 10 and 19 years – they are often thought as a healthy group. Nevertheless, many adolescents do die prematurely due to accidents, violence, pregnancy related complications...

...This study into observational learning of social reasoning from narrative characters tested the effects of interactivity on cognitive empathy. The study took place in three fourth grade classrooms, using convenience sampling and cluster assignment. The study compared print and hypertext versions of two illustrated stories using between-subjects, posttest-only control group design. Perspective taking and fantasy identification were measured through questionnaires, and two intrapersonal empathy outcomes were measured through writing prompts. Interactivity was found to negatively affect fantasy identification and intrapersonal empathy. Thus for a reader positioned outside of a story, perceived agency may reduce identification with characters and therefore reduce their effectiveness as social models. These findings may inform the design of media to support observational learning of social reasoning. The purpose of the study was to examine the association between affective empathy, cognitive empathy, and gender on cyber bullying among adolescents. Participants were 396 adolescents from Singapore with age ranging from 12 to 18 years. Adolescents responded to a survey with scales measuring both affective and cognitive empathy, and cyber bullying behavior. A three-step hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used with cyber bullying scores as the dependent variable. Gender was dummy coded and both affective and cognitive empathy were centered using the sample mean prior to creating...

...Introduction Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively impose domination over others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical power. Behaviors used to assert such domination can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion, and such acts may be directed repeatedly towards particular targets. There are four kinds of bullying in school, in which all of them is very harmful; it is Physical, Verbal, Covert, and cyber bullying Theodore Roosevelt once quoted, “Knowing what’s right doesn’t mean much unless you do what’s right.” and this quotation made by the former US president applies to everything in life. People should not commit to just knowing that something is right; they have to commit to it fully and do exactly what is right. People know that they sometimes do wrong but what they really need to do is treat people with respect, think before they commit to their actions and understand that sometimes life doesn’t offer the second chances that they often take for granted. Knowing what is right, just like knowing that people should be treated right and be respected is nonsense if you are mistreating and disrespecting other people. People should learn how to incorporate truth in their lives and they should learn to accept what is right and live with it, so that we can live in a...

The main purpose of the school is to develop the student through knowledge acquisition, so that he/she may become a social being. By this, the student is expected to learn how to relate with fellow students, teachers and others in the school on the one hand, and to live in a harmonious way (by blending with societal values) in the society on the other hand. The school is also expected to be a place where students should feel safe and secure, and where they can count on being treated with respect. The reality, however, is that...

...particular on television and in video games — as well as their attitudes about swear words and their tendencies toward aggressive behavior. The scientists measured both physical aggression (by asking students whether they hit, kicked or punched others) and relational aggression (by asking them whether they gossiped about others to damage their reputations). Using statistical models, the researchers calculated that exposure to profanity had about the same relationship to aggressive behavior as exposure to violence on TV or in video games. In addition, they found that the more children were exposed to profanity, they more likely they were to use swear words themselves, and those who used profanity were more likely to become aggressive toward others. “From using profanity to aggressive behavior, it was a pretty strong correlation,” says study leader Sarah Coyne, a professor of family life at Brigham Young. “And these are not even the worst [profane] words that kids are exposed to, since there are seven dirty words that you’re not allowed to say on TV. So we’re seeing that even exposure to lower forms of profanity are having an effect on behavior.” Coyne recognized that it was possible that the relationship went the other way, that children who used profanity might also tend to seek out television programs and games that featured profanity,...

...Harm August 24, 2013 After School Project: Stop Bullying Introduction There is no doubt that every child has experienced a case of bullying at some point in its life. While the issue of bullying is one of the most overlooked issues, many children have reported having undergone some kind of consequences from bullying. Acts of bullying involves physical contact, facial expressions or gestures, verbal assault, and other acts that might lead to victimization. Psychological effects of bullying on school going children include fear of going to school, low self-esteem, and discomfort. Engaging children in after school bulling prevention programs provides an ideal platform for informing people that bullying is an activity that cannot be tolerated within the school environment. If designed and implemented according to plan, a bullying after school project is appropriate in helping to reduce and minimize cases of bullying within the school environment. The Bronx Anti-bullying after school project aims at raising awareness on bullying and educating children within the community on the dangers of bullying. It also engages students in activities that suggest possible solutions to counter the issue of bullying. Overview of the project The Bronx Anti-bullying after school project is a program developed to enlighten and empower kids within Bronx on the need to avoid or prevent cases of bullying within and outside the school environment. It is also aimed at engaging...

...Bullying is far more complex than the simple act of belittling another human being. It is a social ill with a price, that has multiple forms, and affects up to 86% of teens regularly (Coloroso). Kathiann Kowalski, author for Current Health, has characterized bullying as a repeated aggressive behavior that has not been aroused by anything, just sheer meanness. It is a shape of intimidation, which is devised to threaten, frighten, or coerce someone. In order to suppress the bullying problem, it is first important that educators, counselors, parents, and students know the characteristics of a bully. This can at times be difficult, as many simply assume that because they might not see bullying happening explicitly on a large scale, that it doesn’t happen, or at least, ‘not at my school.’ But the statistical reality is that the size of school, setting, and even racial composition have little to nothing to say about the capacity for bullying to occur-- in essence, bullying is an “equal opportunity torment” to quote Education World writer, Colleen Newquist. The precise definition of a bully as defined by educational leader and bullying prevention expert, Dan Olweus, is “one who attempts to intentionally inflict injury or discomfort on another person.” But this serves as little basis for what concerned people should look for in individuals who may be engaging in bullying behavior. To start, boys do more bullying than girls, often driven by a “need to feel power and control” (Banks)...

...The Damages Bullying Has on School Aged Children Brandi GEN 499: General Education Capstone Instructor: Irene Robles-Huerta December 2, 2015 The Damages Bullying Has on School Aged Children Bullying is a widely known and seen epidemic that negatively impacts its victims, and even the person doing the bullying. Bullying is the act that causes harassment, embarrassment, humiliation, intimidation, and physical or emotional trauma, and is present no matter the age, race, gender, religion, or culture. Although society has seen the ever growing epidemic of bullying in school aged children, the argument of the damaging and everlasting psychological effects that bullying has on the victims are not always talked about or analyzed to show how the victimization impacts the child for much longer than just their childhood. This paper will analyze the long term damaging effects that bullying had on its school aged victims, while looking at the implications for therapists treating the victims, the therapeutic aspects related to bullying, and how the use of therapy can lessen the long term effects that bullying will have on the bullies and their victims. Although, there may not be a complete solution to bullying itself, there is a solution that will limit some of the damaging done to a person from victimization of bullying, by implementing anti-bullying programs in the school systems, and using therapists for all children involved to help the children process their thoughts...

...Effect of Social Media on Students Social media has evolved tremendously over the years. It has become nearly a necessity to people around the world. Why take away the social media if it helps us out so much and has made things more accessible? The truth is that social media has become almost as addictive as a drug and a use for chatting and doing things that are not important, when instead people could be out doing important things and building relationships. Social media distorts our views on society and the real world, affecting the way that people communicate and has made us more dependent on a screen than face-to-face. Social media is destroying the social skills of high school and college students for the following reasons including: it causes danger, social media includes cyber bullying, and it can cause personality and brain disorders. The first reason that social media has a bad effect on the social skills of young adults is that it can cause personality and brain disorders. A person on the internet can be everything that they think a person wants them to be to be the “cool” kid. This is a bad habit to develop because students might tend to show a personality that is not them. What will happen when they go out into the real world and communicate? It is plain and clear that they will feel tense and get nervous since being behind a computer screen does not require an individual to face that person and require an automatic reply. On the contrary, when facing a person...
