"From Teasing to Torment: School Climate in America: A National Report on School Bullying"
This article was a survey taken about bullying in public schools. Children go to school on a daily basis and are harassed all day. Students are being harassed because of what they look like, who they are, their race, gender, clothing, and who they chose to like. Talks about a school harassment policy, but just because there is a policy does not mean the bullying will stop. It was said in the text that students do not report to teachers because they feel they don’t have power. Well in two of these videos it tells how’s teacher do not do much to prevent it. The following videos are about children and what they go through and what can happen with bullying in schools, hopefully it gives you more thought on what can happen.
This is a sad video of a thirteen year old's mother reading her sons suicide note. This is a horrifying way to look at what bullying can do to children.

ReplyDeleteThe first video is a tear jerker. This kid could have been helped.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the transition of how the last video started with all of the kids being bullied, and being afraid, but in the end they were able to stand up and fight, and defend themselves. It's just nice knowing that even though they were pushed down, they still managed to get back up again :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved the last video just for the message it sends. It will get better, eventually! Hopefully one day we can just accept people as they are.
