By raising awareness throughout the communities and the world. ETCB is instantly accessible online, and phone assistance by certified. The overall goal is to try to make the Internet a safe place for teens.
I’m going to tell a quick story about a blind high school student at Huntington Beach that was being bullied by a kid who I think deserved to be suspended, if it wasn’t for Cody Pines, a junior who had stepped in and knocked the bully to the ground to protect the blind student who he knew since the sixth grade. Later on the school district suspended Cody for stepping in and helping the victim. I don’t think that was the right move for the district to do. Now let me ask you a question what would you have done if you had witnessed one of your fellow student being bullied? On The End to Cyber Bullying Organization website states that “it’s the world’s number one source for that’s always up to date on cyberbullying information, news, and cyberbullying prevention tips”. It also states that cyberbullying is a leading issue in today’s technology society and raising awareness throughout the web and communities is the first step to putting an end to cyberbullying. There are a lot of reasons why some people bully. One of them is the bully may see it as a way of becoming popular, or making themselves look
There is no reason to bully. You should settle problems in a civil way. We should all come together and try to make an impact on the bullies. One way to help is if we see something report it .We can also have arranged assemblies in school or outside of school. As a group make a website for anti-bullying. Together, as a group we can make a difference if we stand together nothing is impossible
This research shows that cyberbullying is at an all-time high over the past few years. The purpose of this report was to gain knowledge for personally and professionally for the future as well as to use for reporting. With the rise of children and teenagers getting cell phones, tablets, and even computers at such a young age the rise will only continue to go up if we cannot stop it now. Young girls are at a higher risk than young men to be bullied but young men are higher for being bullies. Every one in three teens have been the victims of cyber bullying and only one in five are reported to parents or law enforcement. If there was something that could be done to stop cyberbullying
Cyberbullying is the use of electronic communication to bully a person, typically by sending messages in an threatening nature or tearing down an individuals character based on religion, gender, ethnicity, or disability. In terms of effects overall, cyberbullying has increased the use of communication via technology and has become more common among teenagers (Cabral 3). Technology has made it easy for bullies to find individuals via social media in the privacy of their on own homes., which has allowed them to express how they feel anonomously. This has become an issue that is occurring more and more in High Schools and Middle Schools across America. One of the biggest discussions when dealing with bullying and cyber-bullying would be how do we stop this epidemic to save the soul of our youth? Education is key, we have to educate one another on the effects of bullying to know that this is real and affects so many people to this day. Much of cyberbullying is the
There are many social problems in the US and throughout the world today. One of the most significant of those problems is bullying (Macfarlane & McPherson, 2004). More than 160,000 children avoid school each day because they are concerned about being bullied or because they have been bullied and are too afraid to go to school (Macfarlane & McPherson, 2004). Cyberbullying - the use of a computer or other electronic device to bully someone - is also on the increase. That can be harder to avoid, and children have even taken their own lives because of the harassment. Nearly three million students are bullied through the internet every year (Macfarlane & McPherson, 2004). The number of children who are bullied gets larger each year, as does the number of children who bully others. There are many reasons children are bullied, and just as many reasons that children bully other children, but the main concern is how to stop the problem and keep all children safe.
Every individual is different, and people come in all different shapes and sizes, every individual has a different physical appearance, race, religion, all that but sometimes people like to hurt others for who they are. Bullies, often times, pick on smaller and weaker people that they know can’t retaliate or do anything back, but sometimes bullies have their own reasons as well, as stated in the article “Bullying” by Anthony D. Pellegrini, the article stated that,” People bully others for many
In 2014, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) did a study on bullying and the found that 19.4% of all the students interviewed had been bullied at school. This may not seem very surprising, bullying has been going on for decades. Generations of men and women have come to fear the people who walk the halls, stealing lunch money from those weaker than them. However, it is interesting to note that 14.8% of that 19.4% had reported being cyber bullied. Unlike the standard physical bullying, cyberbullying is a slightly more recent development, but it has evolved to become much more deadly. It gives bullies a better tool for creating more widespread pain. The awareness for cyber bullying needs to increase and ultimately, cyberbullying needs to be abolished completely due to its destructive capabilities.
It’s not a complicated question but psychologically there’s many reasons. Some do it to direct their frustrations, hurt, anger, and difficulty they have from their own lives onto you. Some also get a lack of attention from friends, parents, or teachers and so they bully, just to feel popular and think they are seen as ‘tough’ or ‘cool’ and in charge. Some kids have learned bullying from others such as parents, brothers or sisters, friends. They have seen them get their way by being angry or pushing other people around. Others do it because they are a victim themselves. So, the bully cycle will just keep going around. Reasons children bully is because they do not know how to handle differences between people such as others who are gay or not good at sports. So, children that exhibit different behavior than others are potential targets. One more reason is that others do it to get a feeling of power or because of a low
One reason might be that it’s a defense mechanism. Some people believe that if they are the bully, they can’t be bullied. Another reason might be that they want to appear superior to others.
Do you think you know all the facts about bullying? There are so many different types of bullying that someone may not even realize they have become a victim of the act.

There could be a multitude of reasons and situational forces that cause an individual to bully another. It is possible that the bully is in desperate need to be accepted by their peers and feels that devaluing another individual raises their own worth. It could possibly be jealous of the person being bullied. Whether it is of social or economic status, their romantic status or just that person has something the bully cannot obtain.

What appears to be bullying is not always bullying. There is this misconception that when someone disagrees with another person or is hurtful towards that person, bullying always seems to be what they say is going on. Although statistics shows that one in four kids are bullied, all aggressive actions are not bullying. If a person has self-esteem and self confidence in themselves and not let others tear you down the imbalance of power is balanced. Bullies have more power over their victims and always want to be on top. They enjoy displaying the power they have over their victim.
