Recommended: Negativeeffects of bullying

One of the articles I read was about bullying and the effects it have on children. The article talked about the long term affect that bullying have on children such as mental health problems and behavioral problems. I think it sad that children seek attention so they bully other children and it leads to the bullied child having mental and behavioral problems later on down the line in life. It also stated that a young girl getting bullied can be as traumatizing as her being physically or sexually abused and can follow her all the way into adulthood. That is extremely sad and bothersome to me and makes me want to sit down with my niece, nephews and little cousins and explain to them how serious bullying is and let them know that they shouldn’t bully others or allow others to bully them or anyone else, it just isn’t …show more content…

The article talked about how 20 percent of kids in high school said they were bullied with in the last 12 months leading up to taking the survey. So now it’s a possibility that the 20 percent of high schooler will now have a mental or behavioral problem, not to mention the psychological problem that the bully has. The article also talks about bullying via the internet. It talks about kids being bullied for their sexuality which I think foolish, you mean to me you are bullying another because of who they choose to be with. It saddens me that people are so judgmental of others, allow everyone to love freely. Who cares is they love differently than you. The article also states that bully undermines psychological functioning in children who are tormented and it causes low self-esteem. It also talks about what the APA is doing to help fix the problem, which I think is really amazing. The APA offer many resources such as bullying prevention strategies also LGBT youth resources. The APA and its many recourses seem to be a big help in the fight against

Through the higher risk of depression, anxiety and panic attacks, bullying can have a lasting effect on a child, causing them to have a damaged adulthood. The effect is seen whereas adults who were previously a victim and a bully are fifteen times as likely have panic attacks, 5 times greater risk for depression, and 10 times the chance more of suicidal thoughts than adults who were uninvolved in bullying.

Bullying is, by far, the single most common practice of prejudice in the world, and it’s unfortunately propagated by the social construct of gender roles; a type of discrimination against sex and gender. As Jessie Klein, the author or The Bully Society, states, “In the absence of authentic self-expression and relationships, we become accustomed to the irrational foundation on which our lives are structured and accept some unacceptable ideas: that this is as good as it gets; that competition is better than cooperation; that things are more important than people; and that inequality makes more sense for a society than equality” (Klein 238). Thus, it’s the societal foundation that builds upon all prejudice and bias. Such, society is tasked with educating the masses and properly handling the various distances between groups. It’s when this relationship and checks and balances fails, does bullying grow rampant within society.

Bullying is a phenomenon existing as long as humans exist. The fact that it didn’t have a name for years doesn’t mean that it wasn’t a widespread way of behavior, in cases where two different types of people were involved ; the strong and the weak ones. Although bullying is considered as a form of aggression, or in some cases as an infringement of the human rights, “bullying is commonly regarded as an aspect of aggression”.
