on April 16th 2009, the 11 years old Jaheem Herrera, a 5th grader at Durane elementary school in Dekalb county Georgia, woke up acting strange. He didn't want to eat nor go to school. He packed up his bag and went to school anyways. However, he got his report card full of A's and B's, and looked happier when came back home. He gave the report card to his mother, she was happy and he went straight to his room while his mother was cooking dinner. When it was time for dinner, his sister called him, he never answered. when they went to his room, they found him hanging by his belt in his closet (Mllory Simon CNN). no parents should never face such tragedy and feel guilty for not being there for their child from any type of bullying. Because of all the teens lives that were lost to bullying, every school starting elementary school to high school should have a required bullying class where every student can have the chance to learn about bullying, and help bringing an end to it.

you may never believe it, but bullying is one of our serious issue in united States. According to Brockton High School Scool Commitee, bullying is any unwelcome written,verbal, or physical or gesture where a student feels intimidated, harassed, or threatened. Those characteristics can appear in different ways, they could be beating, kicking,shoving, or gossiping. the eak of bullying is in elementary school (johnson Teddi Dinely). bullying used to be less serious in the very beginning. Americans tended to believe that bullying was a growing behavior in every childhood untill it started causing the lost of several lives. it is proven that 1 out of 3 kids in BHS are being bullied every day (Mr. Guilloteau). BHS used different ways to help bullies and victims. Whenever a bully event is found, they always confront the bully, seperate bully from victim, provide them therapy to find out what the problem is untill the bully stop completely.

Bullying have been too much of a problem in this society. Eventthough they find solution for it, it is still being a problem(Mr.guilloteau). Every time there is a bullying event happening, it is so sad and shocking knowing that so much kids are being the victim of bullying At a point school was becoming an unsafe place for so many students that were being victim of bullying for jno specific reason. Not only it is stressful on students, but also stressful on school administrations knowing that their compounds are not a safe place for student to learn without being harassed or scared(Mr. Guilloteau).

Bullying is caused by so many different issues. Some kids are being exposed to so much violence in their environment at home. a lot of time parents dont have any respect for their children, and just exerce violence one one another right in the presence of the children(Johnson Teddi Dinely). when kids are exposed to those kind of violence, they most likely feel or think that it is okay to do so to other kids. a lot of time they use the same violence from home like heating, kicking, to others just because the victim is not pleasing them. another reason why kids bully is to have power. especially the kids that are popular and get a lot of attention at school. whenever they want to look cool and powerfull to their friends, they just pick on a weaker student. sometime, they do it to have the power that they don't have at home, that happens a lot when kids have elders at home that abuse them. they look down to the weaker kids at school to overcome that power they want at home which they can't have. it is seen to be parents fault because they allow that type of violence in their home(Johnson Teddy Dinely). Bullying effect kids accademecally .I have a friend which was a victim ofbullying in the past 2 years. In the begining no one ever keow what her problem was. We used to blame her a lot and call her lazy and stupid for not passing her classes in the middle of the school year. It wasn't till she could no longer handle it no more and chose to ask for help, that we found out she refused to go to class and couldn't pass the class because she was intimited by this one girl that always harass her. It is said by secretary Ducan that were children don't feel safe is a school where children struggle to learn." If a student don't feel safe in the classs room it's hard for them to focus and learn.Whenever a victim starts being too scared of bully, the result always come to them not going to class and end up failing the class. According to Paulson Amanda . 1 out of 5 students that get bullied at apoint either jup out or commit suicide. 70% of their time at school they have t deal with the bully harassing them. Alot of time they feel helpless and lonly, than they start being depressed. They can't really focus in classes and get scared to even go to school. When they feell like their is no way that bully will never stop they find a way to get out of it. The victim solution come up to either stop going to scholl or putt an end to their life by commiting suicide. many School Adimistration school have decided to talk to every teachers and make sure that they always report every signs of bullying they ever witness. it is obligatory, if any teacher is found knowing something and never report it, that teacher can either get fired or get into serious trouble with the school. they enforced the rules stricly because they want the safety of the kids in the school. they install video cameras in every spot of the school to record the actions of the kids. it is a way to make sure that they are getting all reports. in maureen Healy's view " bullying is simply a symptom. it is a warning that a school system is sick." which i totally agree. this is why a bully can even get expelled from the school. after all the effort schools had put to bring an end to bullying, up to 2011 in Florida 3 years after passing a law to do a better job of identifying and reporting bullying, Mamidade, the state largest district with 342,400 students, seven cases has been reported which werethe one that involved the police(Rebecca, Catalamello). still their is still not a solution for bullying. I believe that every school starting middle school should use the kids as thier solution. In other words, Rebecca, Cutalanello believe that "when you teach you sart in to in form kid about that bulling looks like, definetely increase the number of report". If the kids are informed of the situation, im sure they will be more then happy to help as long they reporting as an ananomis person. School administrations should come up with a required bully class, where every student can be expesed to the subject."Last december Craig little 13 year old boy saw a new student being bullying by a group. The lead bully wouldn't let him pass. Instead of standing by Graig acted you guyys leave him alone, let him go Graig then esco.... the boy away from the group . The lead bully and the new boy have some since made up they kind of become friend" (Prince Sean). One student stand up for the other helped so much. This is why having the student themselve involved into the soluution would help. I believe even bully might change their mind about being a bully once they really know what exactly their actiong are causing to others. Kids the action could been hepless since they are doing the action, but once the are informed a complete change accur.

Bullying have been so hurtfull to so many people for the pass years. A lot of families have went through a lot after loosing a child from the bullying situation. A lot of those parents put the blame on themselve for not being their for their child, or for being part of the social life. A lot of them believe that if they had payed much attention to their kids, or super used them more that would never happen to their child. The thruth is we are all the cause. We as a society need to work together for the safety, or one another. Just a parent can't watch over a child because they will never be only around their parents, then had time where they are watch over them. As a society, it is one another's responsibility to watch over and protect pone another. We need a whole societyu to raise a child, not just a parents, this is why bringing the bullying situation toward the students which is one pof the most population your child will spenp time with would help a lot. The student make the school, without them there is no school and having just the school administration helping will not be enough , we need the whole school to coorperate and help one another in good and bad situations.

Web. 19 May. 2011.this article is about a girl that used to be bullied by her classmate because of her life style and over the fact that she was a foster child. the bully used to get suspensions and detentions over that, but she would still continue the negative behavior. at the end they found a solution to it and separated the bully from her by putting them in different classes. even after all the help she had, she was still paranoid, always worrying about watching for someone else not to come and bully her again. she couldn't really focus in school because of just that one time that happened to her, now she is scared to have it happen again.it's always better to avoid bullying than to go through, because the memory will never be able to go away, and might effect really bad on you. i used this source to describe the reason why kids bully.
