Write about an aspect of the days reading that you don't understand or something that surprises you. For this blog post, I will be offering my thoughts on a concept and reality explored in the book that confused and astounded me. I also apologize, because this blog will largely be a rant. Bullying: I DON'T GET IT! Kim is exceptionally poor; she lives in a tiny apartment with her mother, that has no dishwasher, indoor heating, or AC. He clothes are homemade or hand-me-downs and new clothes are a very rare, very expensive privilege. Living in these conditions, Kim cannot afford to wear the clothes that the other girls wear, and at her new school, the other girls bully her relentlessly for it. I don't get it! Why do people try to shame other …show more content…

I find this as no excuse. Is their own sense of self-worth, worth sacrificing someone else’s? Is fear of the unknown a just reason to allow cruelty to rear its ugly head. I do not believe so. I don’t get why people hurt others. One of the worst things about bullying is that parents can often do nothing about it. A stern talking to won't stop bullies from slipping a hurtful comment in the hallways or trying to trip someone. Even Kim's mom can't understand that anyone would bully Kim, and won't spend extra money trying to fix something that "no decent person would tease her about". It makes me sick that people bully other because they are different, or poor, or have difficulty in certain areas! What is the point of being cruel to others?! What baffles me is that people can be so mean to people whom they do not even know. I hate it, I hate it that people bully others that they know nothing about. Hurt, shame, tease, and degrade people who may be struggling, who may not have as much as they do, or are simply having a hard time. No one should be bullied for who they are, for what they can't change. People say life isn't fair as an excuse for almost everything that is bad or unjust in the world. Why can't we do everything in our power to make it fair? I believe the world would be a better place if people simply did their best to be kind

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. Even though we are not all white or all African American that does not mean we all should not be treated the same. Chris Crutcher wrote Whale Talk to show how bullying can dramatically hurt people by expressing acts of violence, using profanity and racial slurs.

sa critical mind at all ! they never been asked to do it, they don’t know how to do it and if it’s not quick and easy they get give up, they don’t have the emotional mental muscle to work through the problem, yeah because there is no punishment no negative outcome. We have tried during times to find a balance between what’s going on between what happens in schools but then you have two different masters, the national government who sets the policy for the schools like us and there is the local governments, which are involved in you know setting policy for the schools, so my wife is currently teaching in a very progressive school, but Reykjavik runs that school she has to do the námsmat over and over again and is constantly changing, that’s

Subconsciously humans have always had and will always have a “kill or be killed” mindset where each organism fends for themselves.

Bulling Did you know that students may be bullied because they want other people to be hurt because they are hurt or to feel like they are part of a group? Well, it’s true. In the source Tales of Bulling, on Why Bulling Happens stated, “Kids sometimes bully other kids to feel like they are a part of a group,” and, “Some people have a lot of trouble at home and when they go to school … they let it all out.” I feel like bullies want to hurt other people to feel better because I can relate to that. In the end of fifth grade bad stuff started happening at home, so when I got to school I bullied other kids to feel better.

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”. (Roland and Idsoe, 2001), there are significant differences between them , the most important of which that “bullying is different from peer conflict. It is conflict between individuals that do not share equal physical and / or psychological power.

I say that it’s human nature, and you can’t fix that. As such, the current attempt at stopping bullying is not, and will not, work. What we need to do, is cut down our efforts. We have a lot of efforts, but that doesn’t mean that they’re good.

My claim is people need to stop bullying. I think that people need to stop bullying because when people bully other people it hurt’s the and that could lead to significant problems in the future. Sometimes when the victim get bullied they think that it is ok to hurt the other people that surround their life, and it is never ok to hurt anyone ever. Sometimes when people get bullied they brush it off and it doesn 't hurt them, some people when they get bullied it really hurts them and they could even go into depression, sometimes when people are depressed they think that they don 't need to be alive anymore and they kill themselves or attempt to, which is never the way to go because there are always people that love you in your life you just have to realize who those people are. One more person that is involved in this cycle is the person who stands around and watches people get bullied, and if you
