Project III Reflection After doing this project I gained a lot of knowledge about bullying and how big of a problem this topic really is in our society today.

We added the Demi Lovato personal video to show students that it even happens to the people and celebrities we look up to. You would never think that a big pop star like her would be bullied but it has had a huge impact on her life and the person she is today. I also thought that bullying was only really problematic for ages 10-18, but it can continue on all the way through college and in the work world. Before doing this project I was one of those people who did not realize how big the problem was because I have never been affected by it, but after the project I have realized the harm it can do and how it affects anyone and everyone involved …show more content…

When researching I was shocked to see that the bully is just as affected by the situation as the person being bullying, the are in fact even more likely to develop problems in the future. The problems these individuals can develop are very serious and can often lead to suicide. Victims of bullying are much more likely to commit suicide than someone who has not been bullied. I was shocked by the statistics that were found about this problem as well.

I now understand why awareness for

Many people in society today do not care about the feelings of others due to the fact that they see themselves higher than others especially children and disabled people. This affects the individual entire life by not accepting the truth about themselves “the real you”, but rather accepting the inappropriate and abusive behaviors of others. Psychologically, people who get bullied feel left out and trouble themselves by expecting the worst of things around them which may also lead to mental health issues such as anxiety. Grealy believes that no one could ever like or love her romantically due to the insults and teases she gets from people. This made

Bullying is a growing issue in our society affecting many people. People do not realize the damage they are doing to people and their families. Not only do the bullies hurt the people verbally, but they can get hurt mentally which could lead the victim to harm themselves or commit suicide.

Bullying has been named an “emerging public health issue requiring intervention” (Ansary, Elias, Greene, & Green, 2015, p. 27).

The act of bullying not only affects the well-being of the person being targeted, but it also affects the rest of the school community too.

Bullying in Schools What seems fun and harmless for some students, is painful and degrading to others. Bullying has been a critical issue around schools, but before it was not as dangerous and know as it is now. These do not means bullying was not happening, it means it was not taken into consideration by parents or teachers. They thought it was just peer pressure or a kids game, and sooner or later the kids would be friends again. At one point, bullies think it’s normal to be mean and abusive to other students.
