Bullying is something that happens "frequently" in many schools. I have read some "narrative" stories about bullying.Schools need to "diminish" the amount of bullying in the schools. Bullying is "scrutinizing" other people and making them feel bad. I have heard of bullying in my school and I myself was once bullied.
Schools need to "modify" the rules and make it that bullying never happens again. Bullying can lead to suicidal thoughts or even more. There are many "catastrophic" results of bullying. People need to do something to stop the bullies. That would be a very "influential" thing to do. Then, more people will say something if they get bullied.
Students need to tell someone about "whether" or not they or someone they know are being bullied.If I had to name the type of "weather" that bullying is, it would be a big storm or hurricane. The object of bullying is not "irrelevant". This is the matter at hand. I think that bullying is very wrong.

I would have to say that bullying does not take place at our school. The reason i say this is because in our school students do not get bullied or pick on, the real word are fights and rumbles and even verbal abuse. When these events occur it usually is pretty CATASTROPHIC.
Though i beleve there is really no bullying at our school, the problems that we do face are never really dealt with. Teachers, faculty and even the principal might think that they have done something when yet nothing is being resolved. I am pretty sure that the most FREQUENTLY asked questions that parents ask when wondering if Isaac Bildersee is the right school for their child is, " Are my children or is my child, safe at this school". My answer to that worried parent would be, " There are alot of INFLUENTIAL students in this school that can change and rearrange your childs mind frame, especcially if your child is easily influenced, but if not, if your child is hard working and has the ability to ignore i would say that this school might be the right one".
Nevertheless, i do feel that there is a little bit more that our school faculty and teachers can do to improve the school more. I feel the best way to get students to understand and comprehend the importance of respectful behavior on school grounds is to DIMINISH extra curricular activities and other classes that students find enjoyable. These enjoyments and privalledges are IRRELEVANT if the rules are not being followed and children do not have proper behavior. Until school faculty members SCRUTINIZE this serious issue, the matter will only get worst.
I know that some faculty members might say, " Oh, their just kids, they need a balance of education and fun in their everyday lives". Yes, that is true, but whats the sense of giving them the recreational classes when they don't follow rules and listen to the teachers. Thats like a reward for doing what your not even supposed to do. I believe that WHETHER or not the students like the rule of being stripped of their privalleges or not that until they learn to respect the rules this is what should be done.
When reading NARRATIVE story books and watching cartoon shows, you see bullying take place. But us as human beings need to realize that that is not real, in those things, the bully characters are able to past the stormy WEATHER and go past their differnces and so forth. In this world it is a differnt situation, bullying will never end, once there is is fear there will will always be bullying

I for one think that bullying is present in our school. Bullying is an issue to "diminish" or to stop once and for all. I feel that all schools need to end bullying or there could be a "catastrophic" problem in the learning enviorment of students. "Frequently" I have only seen one student being bullied in I.S.68. If guidance counselers could have a talk with bullies, they could probably "modify" the way they interact with other students in the school.
I have heard that bullies bully other kids to make themselves feel better. "Whether" or not, I still think that bullies should end their bad habits against the students. "Scrutinizing" other students is wrong- especially when it does not make any logical sense. Bulllying is kind of like "narratives" events happening multiple times. "Influential" acts must be taken!
If bullying does not end it is "irrelevant" to conitnue to take matters in to. If school staff members take part in putting a close to bullying, then our school will provide a sunshine type of "weather" for ALL the students.If we can achieve this goal then we just might be one of the best schools in the district- probably the city!

Is bullying a problem in our school. In my opinion bullying "frequently" occurs in my school. And bullying itself will never be "diminished." The worst part of it all is that their are bullies that are concealed or hidden, for example verbal abusers, sexual harasses, thieves, etc that are never caught. And many people either take their frustration out on other helpless students, or place the blame on just one kid, and there are two outcomes that will occur anyway. Either the cycle will continue or someone will pay and this is a incredibly "irrelevant" occurrence.
No matter how many times the school board "modify" those infractions the majority of the school never obeys them. Now I don't mean me I just saying facts. Take today's "weather" for example, it is cold raining and kids are rushing home, well basically it was a "catastrophic" day. Now imagine this, but it is purposely caused. Now this resides in every child, teens and even adults who victims of this abuse.
Bullies also use violence, which gives a very "influential" effect on scared people. This eventually leads to thoughts of killing the bully, suicide to escape, running away,etc, but no matter what their will be some that will look down on you and make you suffer. I will never write a "narrative" of my experience though it's to horrific. Unlike most of people I can handle bullies because I'm used to the experience and I really don't care. Now the real question is "whether" the bully cycle will ever end?

Bullying is in every school all over that happens every day "FREQUENTLY." Bullying is a "CATASTROPHIC" problem in my school. It's a probelm because some kids get hurt really bad and hurt other people. My school deals with bullying by suspending the kids who are bullying other's. This does not "DIMINISH" the problem of bullying and I think they need to "MODIFY" this.
I hav read many "NARRATIVE" accounts on bullying and suspending the bullies does not work. A recommendation I suggest that school principal's should "SCRUTINIZE" the big problem called bullying and give both the bully and the kid being bullied therapy."WHETHER" or not they want to go they should go.
Suspending the bully is "IRRELEVANT" to the problem of them bullying. Sending the bully and the kid who is being bullied to therapy is going to help the bully let out why they bully and why they feel they need to take it out on innocent kids. For the kid that is being bullied therapy will help him not be scared and to stick up for him self with out violence. Bullying isnt ghud at all, not at home. not in school, and not outside in bad "WEATHER." Bullying needs to be stopped!

Is Bullying a problem in our school? Yes bullying in our school is a problem and happens alot and FREQUENTLY not only in our school nut others also.The board of Education needs to DIMINISH this problem but yes it is hard to avoid this problem.Bullying can be very INFLUENTIAL because if one person see one bullying someone they would find interest in doing the same.
I think that teachers,principal,guard in the schools had to MODIFY the fact they sleep on the kids.I mean there isnt enough teachers around the whole school building to watch and see whats going on.Specially afterschool/outside they should be more protective with police and school helpers on board to make sure the fact bullying dont happen.The teachers in the school has to be SCRUTINIZE because they have to pay critical close attention to the action thats going on in the school building and on school board.I think bullying is very unessary specially if a classmate is doing it to another,bullying is just IRRELEVANT.If teachers,principal,board of education doesnt find a way to stop this situation school to children that are being bullyed will be CATESTROPHIC to them and really not interesting/fun.
THis problem can be solve in many ways.Ways where children will think school is another home or another safe place to be.WHETHER children likes school or not it doesnt really matter but if good things happen in school and they get education I'm sure they will be more comftable coming to school.Another big issue is when it has bad WHEATHER teachers jus dismiss the students out of the school without no guards,teachers outside to wait til every is making their way home safely and school board is clear.Bullying is jus such a big topic to talk on and talk about.Im sure there are alot of NARRATIVES on Bullying.

Bullying is a problem in every school . There is bullying in our school . It happens FREQUENTLY and everyday . CATASTROHIC things happen because of bullying. Bullying is very SCRUTINIZING to the person that is geting bullied but some of them could avoid bullies . Im not even going to lie bullying is IRRELEVANT and the person who is doing it need to MODIFY their behavior . Bullying is so common , there is times when you dont know if WHETHER you're hurting a person or not . Some bullies go to far with the things they do to the victim and it is very INFLUENTIAL to some people because it seems funny . The victims can avoid bullying but they put themselves out there , if you know you're doing something that attracts bullies try avoid doing those things.... CaREEm SpeCe 281

for me i would say there no bullies this but i dont know about every body eles. but there are students expreernice it these events occur could be "catastrophic" in many reasons. our schoolneeds to "modify" the rules they have and make it that bullying never happens again. i do feel that there is a little bit more that our school. feel the best way to get students to understand and comprehend the importance of respectful behavior on school grounds is to "diminish".to make the school activies more "influential" and "irrelevant". Thats like a reward for doing what your not even supposed to do. I believe that "whether". in my point of view i think that our schools and many ohter school needs to have less disapline so students wont worry about rules that they to follow, to relese at the rules but yet school faculty members "scrutinizes" this serious issue, the matter will only get worst. when working like reading gets in involes reading "narrative" story books at homes or school even if the "weather" is nice or horriable. "Frequently" I have only seen one student being bullied in I.S.68. less or the time.

Bullying, now that's a touchy subject. WHETHER or not you acknowledge it, bullying will still happen. It is the mindset that states that if you DIMINISH another person you yourself will become, in comparison greater. Sad is it not. It's not the bullying itself that concerns most adults, it's the INFLUENTIAL results that matters to them. That , most definitely, has to change.
Any NARRATIVE you read is bound to include a bullied character, but not in the right light. The way bullying works is like WEATHER. One day it might be sunny and then next week there might be a CATASTROPHIC tornado, you never know. That is why instead of waiting for them to SCRUTINIZE the child to the point of... well I'd rather not say. The bottom line is that the person being bullied FREQUENTLY takes too long to react.
It's commonly IRRELEVANT for one to tell a teacher, sad but true. One simple solution is to MODIFY your daily pattern. If they seek for you try your best to avoid the bully and tell an adult you trust that can actually do something about it, in a hopefully nonviolent way, but who am I to judge.

Bullying happens "frequently" in many schools."Whether" in my school or another,it still happens. It is "catastrophic" to see the damage that bullying can do. Bullying is very"irrelevant". There is know point to see someone suffer so you can make your self feel better.
Bullying happens in my school. Most of the times their are consequences if you do bully someone.Bullying should be "diminished".This can be done so by "modifying" the rules.
Bullying can be very "influential". If you're under the "weather", there is still know reason to bully someone. You should "scrutinize" a "narrative" to see what to do. This is how bullying should be dealt with.

DarkApprentice said...

Does the school look into bullying? No, not in the years I've been in this school and not the years my brother came here. Which is six consecutive years. Bullying has been a "frequent" issue at this school. The issues aren't going to "diminish" anytime soon.
Unless, this school "scrutinize" the topic. They have to "modify" the rules. They need to read something "influential" like a "narrative" about bullying.
This topic is already "catastrophic", so why not study it. It's not "irrelevant" to approach this topic slowly and carefully.
When the "weather" is bad, use this time wisely. The school should use this time to modify the rules."Whether" you're sure about the rules or not, the school should try it out. The school is already not in the best position.
Innovation is what this school needs.

Bullying occurs in almost every school. It happens FREQUENTLY in my school.It is an CATASTROPHIC problem that hopefully could be DIMINISHED. I feel that The Board of Head should MODIFY this problem and try 2 stop bullying from occuring.
Schools could help by holding INFLUENTIAL sessions on Bullying and let victims speak thier behalf about being bullied and how they can prevent and/or make it IRRELEVANT.Bullying can hurt students physically and even verbally.It can affect students in school through fear.
I believe schools should discipline these students by giving them inhouse ..detention or even suspension do to what they did, WHETHER or not it is SCRUTINIZED.

Bullying is not a problem for me but is (frequently) poping up in other schools.Bullying is a act of (scrutinizing) children of there apperance and personality.Bullies are mostly found in schools because of the amount of children to bother.
Schools need to (diminish) bullies in school before it becomes a big problem. If they don't (modify) these bullies behavior it will become (influetinal) to other children.(Whether) or not you think this problem can be solved easily it can't and it has reach the level of children being suicidal.
These results are (catastrophic).For a child being bullied there emotions is the type of (weather) that will destroy a person. For elementry schools they should have a (narrative) on storys about bullies to help them.This situation is not (irrelevant) to the reason there is so many violence in school.For bullying is not a thing to kid around with;.

Hi ms. T Hall, I agree with Stephane's, Yvenalie's, Shae's, and Shannon's position. In my opinion bullying is "frequently" happening in every school in the world. It's something that starts since Pre-K to the 12th grade of your school years. In my opinion I think that bullies bully someone to install their "irrelevant" dominate on weaker student.

I do not think that bullying could ever be stop, but the least we can do is to try to "diminish" as fast as possible. If schools do not do what ever they could to slow down bullies right now, they will post a bad "influence" for the student that want to learn. Last year mr. Fralin say that their would not be a zero tolerance on bullying, but I did not see no changes in the student behavior.

If we do not "scruptinize" this problem it will be a "catastrophic" ending. I dont think the school has done enough to prevent bullying. One way to prevent bullying is to have more security to reinforce th rule. And a progam to try to "modify" the bullies.

Bullying is a problem in most schools so it definety is a problem
in my school.It "frequently" causes
problems in my school and in other
schools.Most bullies "scrutinize" other kids then bothers them if
they might be different in someway.
I have seen bullying occur in my
school a small amount of times.Even
so it is still a problem that I
feel must be dealt with immediatly
in all schools.
The school has a few security gaurds to make sure things are okay
in the school.Even though they are
good at their jobs the school shouldhave more ways to prevent bullying from happening.Maybe the school could "modify" a few rules
to make the situation a little better.This school should try their
best to enforce the rules on the children so the rules will not be irrelevent" to the prooblem.I think the the school could do better when it comes to safety and order.
I now that school can be safe as long as the school tries.If the
school does not take care of this problem things could get realy
"catastrophic" within school grounds.I feel that "whether" the school gets more security gaurds or
not they need to completely get rid
of bullying.The school can still help its students.

I think that bullying is a problem in my school. Bullying "FREQUENTLY" occurs in my school. Sometimes kids are bullied for "IRRELEVENT" reasons. They get "SCRUTINIZED" by the way they look or act. They are also bullied for being smart. In my school if a student is being bullied, they could go to the principal and the bully could be suspended. My school takes bullying seriously and tries to "DIMINISH" these problems. However, I don't think this approach is very effective at all. Some students are sometimes so frightened by bullies that they don't make complaints.I think the school needs to look over the rules that they have and "MODIFY" them.
I don't think bullying would ever end in my school. There are some students that don't care about the consequences that may follow their actions. For example, I saw a student arguing with a teacher and although their grade was being lowered every time they said something they wouldn't stop. This could be the same with bullying. A student could pick on another constantly and not care about what happens. This may lead to "CATASTROPHIC" result.
I think some people bully others because they have problems at home. They may not have an "INFLUENTIAL" parent or they may be suffering from abuse. These students need to seek counseling. "WHETHER" or not this may be the problem, bullying is still wrong.
Since, bullying occurs often in my school. I have had experiences with bullies. I could even write a "NARRATIVE" about them. Once, the "Weather" was very cold and I was trying to get home as fast as I could. But a kid just came up to me while I was speaking to a friend and took my hat and started throwing it around to his friends and he wouldn't give it back. Bullying should be ended.

Hello Mrs T.hall this Shevan Humphrey from class 271.I think that buylling is really not an problem in my school because even though some kids in our school have disagreements we really do not have bullys but, if we did ii thik this should be approched by having an asemmbaliy that shows kids how bullying affects childrens self a steem and personality
I think kids in the scool who have been bullied should create an organization telling how do they feel about being bullied, and expressing their feelings so that they wont build up their anger insde of them.
I also think that the bullys should make ip an organization telling why they bully kids because they might have been bullied in the past so they take their anger out on the other kids
