School Bulling as struck schools nation wide hard the past couple of years. In the article Bullying and Teasing: No Laughing Matter, it talks about how bullying is really dangerous for children and even some adults today. It is really a huge topic for many parents and schools.
Often, bullying is usually consisted of a bigger child picking on a littler child. The bullies, a child that is older and bigger usually picks on the younger kids by "verbal bullying (making threats, name-calling), psychological bullying (excluding children, spreading rumors), or physical bullying (hitting, pushing, taking a child's possessions)." The bullies may think its all fun and games, but it really is a horrible thing to do.
The victim, a shy and tender child does not always know how to handle bullies. Some may go to teachers or their parents or maybe a sibling, but some kids just are fed up with it and can not take the bulling anymore and they will take their own life. Some adults do not take it seriously and that is what leads to so many deaths of children. Some early signs that a child is getting bullied are, "Frequent crying, Recurrent complaints of physical symptoms such as stomach-aches or headaches with no apparent cause, Unexplained bruises, Sudden drop in grades or other learning problems, and Not wanting to go to school."
As a nation we need to come together and stop bulling. I know that we will not be able to stop it completely because we have tried to stop it before. Either by having meetings with kids or just putting up signs around the hallways at school. There are lives being taken and so many small innocent children being beaten everyday and it should not be happening.
"Adults need to intervene to help children resolve bullying issues." They should either go to another parent or maybe the school board if their child is being bullied. If none of that works then they need to give their child some advice. The child should never be alone. They need to get some buddies and stick together with one another to prevent any beatings. They may not be able to stop any name calling or anything, but they can try.
Bulling is no laughing matter. I would think people would want it to stop, but maybe the truth is we cant stop it. No matter how hard we try there will always be bullies in school. Not all of them can be stopped. We should be able to see the signs on a child that is being bullied and when we see those warning signs then we can stop and help that child before they think of the worse.
