Bullying is a very bad problem that every school faces. Being a bullied is not a FANTASY, it is very FACTUAL.There is always somebody that thinks that they are all that and try to bully smaller kids.This person is going to try and make these kids suffer evey week of school knowing that they are not going to fight back.
These bullies are not always two times their age they are sometimes in there own class so they can see who is weak or not.This antagionist sometimes get it from somebody else that taught it to them which is like a character trait.They think that bullying is something good and would be beneficial.Most of these bullies are people that think they are cool and try to be motif and use horrible pruncuation.They would try to make any thing an abbreviation and they would never use salution.
The best thing for these children that are getting bullied are to tell anybody and not keep it to themselves. and stop being scared. These bullies always have plans and arcitectual work.This THEORY can be PROVEN with EVIDENCE which can be INVESTIGATED and then CONFIRMED. It is not right to bully people. it is very ILLOGICAL to me. Even though teachers or parents and staff try to PERSAUDE bullies not to bully no more they still do it.My OPINION is that buly should not be tolerated.

Bullying is a big problem at our school.This is FACTUAL and is not a FANTASY.Bullies like to bully other kids that are smaller or weaker than them because they can't bully anyone else.
These bullies can know weather someone is weak or not by INVESTIGATING and confirming their information.
Children who are being bullied try to hide EVIDENCE that they are being bullied, and won't tell the TRUTH until they are PERSUADED to tell someone.If the bullied told who was bullying then this bullying problem could be solved.

bullying is a big problem at our school. this is can be a FACTUAL situation and can be true.some [people may think that there all that and think there smarter and tougher since they got fancy clothes or can fight.but the TRUTH is that most kids may bully other students because they may have problems at home and needs to take there angry out.
if i was a friend of a student that was being bullied i would PERSUADE the person to talk to a teacher or a consular. i would show that his/her problem can be PROVEN and investigated and don't even have to worry about anything.i would make the other student go and get consul to, to see whats the matter.
these stories are BELIEVABLE, and are not based on a REALITY.children that are being bullied, may not show it and try to block all EVIDENCE of them getting hurt and bullied.

Bullying is not just a problem in my school, but also a problem at others. Lot of kids are veing bullied by how they dress, look, act, or even talk. It has caused children to commited sucide. Sometimes when he or she is being bullied some teachers dont do anything to stop it or the children cannot rely on anyone.Its hard for some people and they deal with it everyday.My school deals with it by watching the behavior of those who are acting or bulling others. Some teachers try to stop the situation of going too far. Its realy BELIEVEABLE that this is happening.I realy dont think this approach is effective , because its not going to stop with just talking.Its not a FICTION book that you can just forget everything else and escape to your place. But, most students at my school wont REVEAL whats being happen to them and nobody will no. Or some people will see and wont tell the TRUTH, because of their friends.And the teacher cant deal with the situation unless the students come face to face with the situation.I would suggesst maybe taking a survey and it might stop. Or embarass the one that are doing the bullying its FACTUAL and the REALITY.

Bullying is a big problem that our school and many other schools.Kids in our school may think there tough cause they striving for attention.In REALITY outside and inside the school kids are hurt on the inside and outside.Sometimes when you try to tell someone whats going on you might need a little bit of EVIDENCE and CONVINCE the one you are trying to tell.
When you get the bully in trouble they may not always tell the TRUTH.Life might not always be a FANTASY,especially when your being bullied.Bullying is a FACTUAL thing that people do to gain control over you (which is not cool).

bullying is a major problem in our school. bring bullied is a a factual thing that people see is very serious. it is not a fantasy it is the truth is about a real person who bullies another person.when some one bully someone else that reveal there true self to another and everyone will know the real you

MeganeN said...

This week, our school talked about the issue of bullying. There was a bully in our school, and I do think that this approach is effective. I recommend that they INVESTIGATE, and use EVIDENCE from the video cameras to support a victim's THEORY. Sometimes, a kid is ''fresh'' and be acting like they are the king, and the bully wants to stop the FANTASY, and might CONFIRM that he's bigger.

It is hard to PERSUADE a victim to speak against a bully, due to the fact that they know if it goes wrong, it would be ILLOGICAL to stay out in the public, even if it is PROVEN that he is really being bullied.

It is FACTUAL that someone bullied might need therapy because they are traumatized. I allow people to CONTRADICT on that but there is proof to support that. My OPINION is that if someone is being bullied do not wait for a witness to see. Speak out and stand up for yourself, even if the bully is way bigger, and way taller than you. That does not mean they have a bigger brain, or is smarter. use YOUR brain to make your life AND the bully's life easier.

In our school, bullying is not such a huge thing in our school. If it ever occurs, it gets solved. For some EVIDENCE, just last week, someone bullied a 6th grader, and Mr.David was all over his case.

I dont think anyone would do anything to get him mad, and give you a month out of the school. If i were you, i would PERSUADE your friends to do their work and stop talking in class.

The TRUTH is, 8th graders only bully the kids because they force us to BELIAVE that they are super tough. In REALITY, they just want to be respected. They want to make up non-FACTUAL statments that dont sound BELIVABLE, so they can sound touch, and all the FICTION, sci-fi, fantasy geeks would be scared of him

I didn't think bullying was a problem up until last w eek. Mr. David CONFIRMED that someone from the first floor was bullying one of our sixth graders. It seems ILLOGICAL because the kid didnt do anything to the bully.
It has been PROVEN that the school will suspend you for bullying another student. Yes it is effective but the next year the kid will either be stupid enough to start bullying again or he will leave the kids alone and CONTRADICT what he did in the past. People have THEORIES that people that are bullies are people that are hurt on the inside and take it out on the smaller and weaker kids.
I am BIAS and that any bully should got beat down(but that's just me)

Amanda said...

Yes bullying is a problem in my school. Its not even BELIEVABLE that kids are still doing this im my school. The school deals with it by...when a child reports that he or she is being bulliend the dean will suspend that bully for atleast 90 days or more, which i think is a good idea.
I would also PERSUADE the dean to put the bully on a different floor than the person being bullied. If you put the bullier on a differnt floor it is highly FACTUAL that the child will be protected because the bully will hav no contact with the child

Bullying is in every school system. Bulling is FACTUAL it is never a FANTASY. Bullies like to pick on kids and it's PROVEN they are showing off. Bullies can make life really hard for people. My school deals with bullying by trying to PERSUADE the students that it's wrong and can get you in a lot of trouble. The school wants people to tell the TRUTH if anybody is being bully.

It's BELIEVABLE that they take it serious. Most students always try to hide the EVIDENCE that somebody is bullying them. Bullying is REALITY and should not be taken as a joke to anybody. The outcome for bullying can be taken in different ways. In the end for bullying it never turns out good for the person that is being bully. I think that my school can just watch and see if any bullying is going on in the school. I do think their approach is effective because they do everything they can to stop it.

If somebody REVEAL that they are being bully it will be easy for them now. It is not a FICTION tale bullying is real that going on in lots of schools. If people speck up that they are being bulled their life would be easy for they to deal with.

Yes bullying is a problem that my school faces, but many other schools face this problem as well. The kids in my school always say " Ohh that will never happen to me, but in REALITY anyone can be bullied. People think that bullying only happens in schools, but bullying can also happen on the internet.
FACTUAL, EVIDENCE that sows that bullying does happen in my school is that the other day one of the deans told us that this person on our floor was bullying one of his favorite students and he suspended them for however many days. So that statement has shown & PROVEN how my school deals with bullying and what they do to the bully's.
I do think that this approach is effective. I would recommend to my school that every case of bullying that they have should be well INVESTIGATED. This is a NON-FICTION situation that needs to be stopped. Teachers, Deans or whoever need to find a better way to PERSUADE these kids to STOP bullying.

Bullying is a serious problem in school. Sometimes bullies have no REMORSE in what they do. Sometimes bullies do this for fun. They pick on you because you have something they dont have. They might pick one you because you are pretty\unqiue.They think being aa bully is their own FANTASY.People have EVIDENCE that you have a bad background or story. They also do it to pick on the weak. I can tell you some of my stories i get bullied at school because girls dont have what they want.
Thats FACTUAL infomation because thats happens to me everyday in school. My THEORY can be PROVEN. Do you have an enemy who hates you and bullies everyday. They do if beacause they have no friends and everyone hates them. They probaly have people that does that to them also. That is very ILLOGICAL because this does happen. Bullies need to pick on people their own size because its not fair to pick on the weak ones.
Teachers think they can do something but their not doing crap. All they do is INVESTIGATE it and CONFRIMED they its going to stop. In my OPINION this crap needs to stop now. People are going to get hurt if it contiunes. Teachers really need to step it up or students will jion to gather and take it in their own hands. Thats how most people gets killed. Thats why bulling needs to stop now.

Bullying is a big problem in our school. This is such a big problem because when kids come to school all their doing is getting bullyed. This a FACTUAL situation . Many kids go home crying and complaing to teachers and parents.
Since the parents are not there to witness the situation that's going on in the school,the kids go to the dean,principle and/or consular. The kids need enough EVIDENCE to prove that this person is bullying them on the everyday bases. In our school kids are able to talk about the stuff that is happening to them to the adults that work in our school.
When this information is given to the adults they appraoch the situation in a timely manure. They talk to both students whom is getting bullyed and the bully. They do the best they can to help the situation. If things still go back to the way it was the bullyier either gets ''IN HOUSE'' or ''SUCSPENSION''. I feel that this approach is effective because most students are learning thier lesson and are ACTUALLY learning to become more freindly to their victums.
I would reccomend that in a bullying situation students should go talk to someone about it. So, something can be done

Ezekiel Bovell said...

Yes, there is a bullying problem in my school. In fact a kid in my school almost commited suicide because of getting bullied. I think it is very ILLOGICAL to bully people. I also think that bullying should be INVESTIGATED and took more seriously in my school.

In my OPINION think that we should PERSUADE the kids in our school to stop bullying. Bullying is not a FANTASY it is very real and FACTUAL. Some people think that it is funny to bully little kids but it is really not because on the kids side it does not feel good.

I recommend that the school take bullying very seriously this year and the years to come.Some kids when their being bullied they do not want to fight back because they know they are not going to win. This THEORY can be fixed and PROVEN with EVIDENCE shown by other people in their point of view. One day this will be all solved and CONFIRMED and everything would be ok.

TeeTee James said...

Bullying is a very bad problem that every school.Bullying harms others in ways that you cant imagine. Bulling is a BIG problem in my school.Treating a person badly is just not morally right. It's common sense to treat people fairly and nicely.It just makes kids feel bad and afraid. They don't have the level of courage or confidence to dismiss it as easily as a grown up would.Being a bullied is not a made up conflict, it is very FACTUAL. People are just getting bullied physically but emotionally too!
In my school we do a lot of things of bullying. If we see someone getting bullied we go to the Dean or a teacher. The bully will suffer a lot! But I think when a bully is bullying someone its because things are having to the bully out of school and he/she wants to get his/her anger out on someone. Children who are being bullied try to hide EVIDENCE that they are being bullied, and won't tell the TRUTH until it gets out of hand and they need help. They are scared.Its BELIEVABLE that this is happening but some people dont understand why its happening.
Power is the ability to influence a person to do something you want done, or the ability to make things happen the way you want them to happen.Bullying can be physical, verbal, or emotional and is usually repeated over a period of time. An additional recommendations that I would suggest is:
1- Be ALERT !!! Be aware of whats going around you.
2- Be there for the classmates/students when they need help.
3- CONVINCE bullies to STOP bullying !!

There is bullying in my school but its not as bad as other school. In many other school's it is way worst. I would say it is not a big problem in my school. In my school if you are
caught bulling you will be suspended or worst. I do think that this approach is effective because I can see the bulling rate decrease day by day in my school.
To many people bulling is not a FANTASY it is not a joke. It FACTUAL and it happens everyday thing. Many people get caught up doing it. Some of them are the victims. I feel like if the bully’s got to see how it feels to get bullied they would not do it. It can be PROVEN because once they see how it feels they won’t do it again.
I have a THEORY that if I give EVIDENCE that making the punishments harder on people that bully other children. In my OPINION they should be sent to another school for the rest of the year and they have to go to anger management classes. I can PERSAUDE them that the reason they act that way is because something is bothering them but they don’t want to say anything about it to anyone. I would make sure that not ILLOGICAL information joins the conversation. I will wait for them to finish INVESTIGATING what I said to them. Later hope that they will CONFIRM what I said to them. For example if there was some one being bullied everyday but they didn’t want to say anything and it kept happen that person they would eventually end up doing something bad to themselves. We try and keep that from happening to anybody because they don’t deserve that happening to them or to anybody at all. That is why I say this is another good way to stop bullying from continuing.

I am Taliah.morgan and i can tell you about bullying:comming from me bullying can be fun at times for people my age and up,not even they can be even younger than me starting from 7...8...9...10 and so on. Bullying is a very bad influence to our community and mostly kids. it is not a FANTASY it is a FACTUAL thing many people might not find it BELIEVEABLE but everyone has EVIDENCE for someone bullying someone ,mostly they could be that person.
Some kids dont use their minds sometimes to go tell an adult because they think they would get punished but thats not the key issue u have to stick up for yourself.Many police and school guides have INVESTIGATED kids getting beat up some in some ways.I would PERSUADE many people to watch out for each other everytime.My opinion for this issue is bullying could be a persuasive way sometimes because you could be sticking up for a friend at all times,other than that i would not allow bullying in my territory. taliah morgan 271

Bulling is something that every school faces, it is PROVEN that bullies probably do this because of a rough childhood.It may not seem BELIEVEABLE but in REALITY bullies probably just want to beat people up.I think their brains cant function properly and i wish they could understand that being bullied is not fun like a FICTION book it is very FACTUAL.

The school deals with this by PERSUADING the bullies to stop and then helping them.They may tell you the TRUTH or they might not thats why we need EVIDENCE.For bullies it doesnt matter what age they are.If they start out young you might just be able to stop them if they're big dont get your hopes up.This is a NON-FICTION matter meaning if not dealt with it can lead into something that we cannot control.


I would recommend principals and teachers should have more interaction with students so they can feel free to speak up if they are been bullied.I think security in the school should pay more attention to whats going on.Once you find the bully then you should tail him/her, catch him/her in action then sit down with him/her. Then you talk if he/she can tell you the main reason why she/he is doing this.Then you can solve the problem thats what I would do I think my response/answer is correct.Mostly because I have seen alot of Realilty tv shows about cops and detectives.So I used my prior knowledge to come up with a soultion that I like.

Bullying is something that kids around the world face daily.Bullying is not fictional,it is factual.Kids who are bullied are afraid to tell an adult.Kids who are bullied sometimes commit suicide.

Bullying is not only faced in school, it is also faced on the internet, which is called cyberbullying.Kids use facebook,twitter,and aim to say mean things to other kids that make them feel bad.

Sometimes other kids witness kids being bullied. Those kids who witness kids being bullied are afraid to speak up. When a child does tell an adult about being bullied it is investigated.After the case is investigated, the bullier is suspended or expelled.

Bulying is a problem in my school. on thursday mr.David stated that a student on the first floor was being bullied. this was actually the first time i have ever heard of bullying occurr in any schools that i have been in.
my school will deal with bullying simply. If the dean or principals find enough EVIDENCE that can PROVE that you were bullying another student they will suspend you for a year. All of the evidence has to be FACTUAL like a security camera replay when being showed to yourparents.
Thye student that was being picked on ended up not coming to school for about thrre weeks. The dean began to INVESTIGATE when the childs mother caught him in the house one morning and took him to the school to figure out what was going on. He told them what was happening and that was when evreything began making sense. He pretended to leave his house in the mornings and camped out in the basement until his mother went to work. he played videogames for those three weeks. his mother ende up catching him cause she didnt go to work and washed some clothes. this was when everything was solved.

Bullying s a problem in my school. In all schools bullying stands. If you were ever bullied it would bring you back to REALITY. My school s doing something to stop bullying. Some kids who bully get suspended. This is NOT a FANTASY. This is real.
At some points i think what my school is doiing is not helping. i think they need to do something else because its not gonna stop its just going to get worse. some bullying cases causes kids to comment suicide.
i think something needs so be done. if i was getting bullied i would take this issue to the court and try and make it a law or something. keyanna williams class 271

Bullying is a horrible conducting factor that happens in a lot of schools. I agree with gansterfifi that bullying is FACTUAL and not a FANTASY. Kids that are being bullied are too scared to tell an adult when a bully threatens them. I suggest that these victims help faculty with PERSUADING the bully to tell the TRUTH and stop engaging in lies . The victims can also convince witnesses to tell the truth about what they saw. This is also good EVIDENCE.
“Action speaks louder than words”. Bullying is a problem at our school because it makes people scared of sections they don’t want to go to anymore. Our deans are suspending or expelling students for this serious stunt. The best method for kids to stop bullying is to tell an adult, notify other bullied children to move away, and stay AWARE of bullies. It may not be BELIEVABLE to everyone, especially those who have never seen it.
The solution can be PROVEN when everyone sticks with the plan. The hard work of commitment and cooperation of bullied children, school staff and witnesses can stop the mess. An INVESTIGATION can ruin a bully’s life knowing what they’ve done was wrong. That is my OPINION on bullying in my school.

bullying is a problem that happens everywhere and almost everyday especially in school. bullying is a major problem . bullying is a FACTUAL problem it's not a FANTASY.some students don't REVEAL the truth when they get bullied by others that are bigger and tuffer.
kids now days think that they can bully kids smaller than them for some reason they don't think before they act.this THEORY can be proven with evidence by INVESTIGATION then it will be CONFIRMED.
MY OPINION towards bullying is that they should learn their lessons by getting bullied by someone bigger and tuffer than them , so they could see how it feels. also bullying is ILLOGICAL.

Who Cares said...

Bullying is a problem in my school and many others as well. Students can be bullied in many different ways. There is physical,verbal,and cyber-bullying. Bullying happens all around the world and in many schools. It is a problem that could cause serious and lasting harm. Students who imply or implicitly say that bullying is not a problem are wrong. The government itself is trying to conclude bullying.
In my school when a student is bullied the victim should go to an adult or the dean and tell them about it. However, alot of kids are sometimes scared to somebody because of the fear of being a "snitch". But if the student does tell an adult that bully will get a suspension from the school for a long time. Maybe even the whole school year.
I think this approach is effective. The student will no longer have to be bullied and it would be nice for him/her. Although I think this is a good approach to stop bulling, but what can we do to stop cyber-bullying? Cyber bulling can happen anytime and anywhere rather then during school. Students can post or create violating images of one another that can really hurt the other person. The internet is forever, so these images can never go away. I recommand our school to explictly explain about the dangers of cyber-bulling to prevent it. Children who have insights and/or awareness of cyberbullying may know who to stop or prevent it. I also reccommend the school to percieve the students' behavior. Bullying could be happening and you don't even know it.

The TRUTH is I don't think cyberbullying is a problem in my school.In auditorium my dean talks about many problems at school but not cyberbullying.He told us about someone bullying another child but it wasn't over the internet.This happened in REALITY.
If cyberbullying was a problem in my school I think they would deal with it in a fair way. The child must have EVIDENCE of this. The evidence must be BELIEVEABLE and it must be real not FICTION.It must have alot of facts in other words it must have FACTUAL information.
My school would give the person up to 190 days suspension. This approach is affective because this person will be in a different school with people they don't know and they won't be able to see their friends for a whole school year. This will REVEAL to them that the schools are not playing when it comes to bullying and they will know to never bully someone again. Additional recommendations i would like to suggest is that the school gives all the inside information to how it all started before they suspend the child. Besides that, 190 days is enough days of suspension for that child.

gears elite said...

Bullying is wrong and I think every school as EVIDENCE OF someone getting bullied, so that people should not be bullied it is wrong because you might have more stress.
They will bully you because they know you will not try to do any thing cause if you tell on them they will come after you before anything it is the TRUTH so be careful.
All the things I said is BELIEVABLE so do not think I am lying to you because if you do you will pay a price.

In my school there is a lot of bullying. I have some EVIDENCE to PROVE my theory that there is bulling in my school. I would sometimes wish that I lived in a FANTASY world where there is peace.
There is a lot of FACTUAL information in school but, nobody actually want to hear. That is the cold TRUTH. A teacher would try to CONVINCE the students that school is important to our lives. There is always a problem though.
In a FICTION text you can REVEAL the TRUTH about life. You can also find the TRUTH through REALITY. In some stories it can be BELIEVABLE. Some stories PERSUADE you that life always have a happy ending but, they sometimes do.

In my OPINION the Truth is that bullying is a conflict all schools go through especially in our school of I.S 68.
Our school is coming down hard on bullying.We are encouraged to go to our deans an/or school officials.One thing people do is file a report.The report has to tell the TRUTH and nothing but the truth.It has to be REALITY.You must also have stone cold EVIDENCE in Factual details to back up your claim.It must be BELIEVABLE.You must be able to CONVINCE the adult that you believe you are in danger.
When you have PERSUADED the adult that you are being bullied and the truth is REVEALED the repercussions may vary depending on the bully.My THEORY is a hardcore bully will try to get revenge because of the consequences the bully went through.Other bullies will come to their senses as they do in FICTION and FANTASY pieces.This just goes to say that the approaches taken by the victim is not always effective.
I recommend that the victim fight back.Even if the bully victim loses at least he has the peace of mind knowing that he tried. You never know the victim just might win.

CarliValcin said...

There is FACTUAL ,EVIDENCE that Bullying goes on at our school children don't realize but when they talk about what kids wear or how they look or even keep knocking them about what they did in the past it is Bullying because the child is effected with what they say.
My school deals with bullying by counseling the bully and the child that is being bullied.But if counseling does not work and the Bullying still continues they INVESTIGATE and CONFIRM there suspension.
I feel like Bullying is very effective because when I child gets bullied they are PERSUADED that something is wrong with them so they face mental and physical abuse. Sometime Bullying effects children from goin to school and can prevent suicide I suggest my school should tell children what is Bullying and how it effects people around them. Carlyanne Valcin

What is bullying ? Bullying is the unfair treatment between people in school.Is bullying real in REALITY ? Bullying is in real life and can happen to anyone, because it is not FICTION . Most kids say that there is not enough EVIDENCE to prove that bullying is BELIEVABLE , but there are videos REVEALING that bullying is real , and claims of it being the TRUTH are not false. My school deals with the situation by suspending the bully for a long time. In my opinion , I think that only FACTUAL information is needed to find out something.
