How Classroom Bullies Have Affected Students In Later Years

The two articles I chose to read gave a well described and organized description of how classroom bullies have affected students in later years. Throughout both articles, the authors explained when children are bullied at such young ages, it really affects their mental growing. If a child is bullied because he/she dresses like the opposite gender, they will forever remember being harassed and made fun of. As children start getting older, they need to be surrounded by positive and complimenting individuals so their esteem and respect is high. One topic both articles covered very well was the psychological look at bullying. Classrooms in the twenty first century should praise good behavior and team work.

One focused mainly on the teacher’s role to provide a comfortable and accepting classroom, when the other focused on more of the different types of bullying done in classrooms. The reason why teachers have such a big role in bullying is because the teacher is the adult that is with the children six-eight hours a day. If a teacher sees a student pick on another student, the teacher’s responsibility is to take action and punish or talk to the bully and the other student. Classroom management is important because if you create an anti-bullying classroom, show your students how to behave and accept one another for their differences, then the students will take action and listen to the rules and accept one another. The other article pointed mainly at what types of bullying were being done in classrooms and why. Bullying has been an issue in schools since forever and the reasoning for bullying is usually because the bully comes from a disturbed home. Bullying can be done simply by just teasing another student. When a child reports a bully, the teacher’s responsibility is to act as soon as possible. Bullying can affect a child’s mental growth. They can grow up to be mean, depressed, anxious, and many more. Over all both articles were different, but did go back to the same similar topic, how bullying can be prevented in
