In our school, the teachers and some groups are working together to prevent and stop bullying in school. Personally, I don't think anyone understands what bullying is because it is different to everyone. A comment to one person could mean something completely different to another person. I don't think there is a serious problem with bullying in our school, but I do know that there is some harassment that goes on. People need to realize though, that you can't stop the drama that people are always going to start. Rumors are always going around and if it is something dumb, you just need to learn to ignore it and be the bigger person. I'm sure there are bigger schools where bullying is probably a huge problem, but as far as I'm concerned, I dont think Redfield has a huge bullying issue.
I agree with Shayna. Bullying is different for every person. It is just that those who take everything really seriously, are the ones that report the bullying or are noticed because of bullying. I have had people ask me, "How do we stop bullying?" My response is always, Bullying will never ever stop, it can only slow down. But that doesn't mean the bully needs to be punsished for every single thing reported. Drama is just going to be drama. there is not stopping it. You just need to ignore it, because most of the time, it is nothing. Rumors shouldn't start, but they're going to and there is nothing we can do about it. Redfield doesn't have a big bulling problem, it is just a few people who make it sound really bad.
I think that the problem is in how people “cope” with the ordeals that everybody has gone through before. Everybody gets called fat or stupid or ugly. Most people aren’t that creative and cope with ways that they know of, whether that be crying or talking or exercising or anything that helps them through what’s making them feel bad. A lot of people have felt bad but because we’ve been exposed to a bad way of coping it’s now getting some attention. Bullying was just a part of life until someone made it just the end of life or the physical pain of it. After people started noticing that it got around that it actually wasn’t too bad to cause self harm when you were feeling hurt, that’s where the real problem started coming from. After suicide started coming about, well, that turned into more and more of an option; and if something isn’t an option, if it’s totally unheard of and a pretty much unconceivable thought, then most people aren’t the type to think of it (in my experience). Maybe that’s where the problem comes from, we know too much about it so we can get way more ideas on how to “fix” our problem. Sometimes it’s better to stay in the dark so you don’t see the boogie man crawling out from underneath your bed.
this is putting in a great deal of effort to stop bullying and that kinda makes me wanna think like do we have a bullying problem but we dont see it because were not the ones getting bullyed there's enough drama in this school that it could be harrasment or bullying and maybe that one issue we should resolve before we jump to bullying the main source of it. but yes i think we do i mean you can't control no one else but your actions so the rite state of mind to be in is im better to not even bother there not even worth it.
In our school I think that each person has his/her own definition of bullying. Wheather it is teasing or bugging the person. When people say something to you and you take it differenly that could mean bullying, or if some one is teasing you, you could say that that is bullying. The reason I think that people bully in the first place is that they are experiencing some difficulties at home, and need to take their frustaion out on other people at school. Being here in Redfield, we have some bullying going on, but not as bad as other places.
In our school, the teachers are providing the PBIS program for all students. I think this program has helped with some of the bullying and harassment that has gone on in the past. I really don’t think anyone knows the true meaning of bullying, because it can look different in everyone’s eyes. One person may say something to someone that they think is funny, but that person may look at it as something totally different. Some people may consider a rumor a kind of bullying, but they are never going to quit, and for this I totally agree with Shayna on because the rumors and drama happen to almost everyone. I honestly don’t think that Redfield has a very big problem with bullying. I think it happens more in bigger schools, just because it is on the news more often. It happens at the bigger schools more often, because there are a lot more students, and teachers don’t realize it as easily.
In our school, people are definitely trying to prevent bullying whether it is through posters or lectures they all want to end bullying. I feel that in our school certain comments can hurt one person and completely tear them down; however, that same comment to someone else can be just a joke and everyone laugh it off. People need to understand that bullying can turn into something much bigger and quite a bit harder to stop or even prevent from happening. I feel that Redfield High School doesn't have a huge bullying problem because we are a small school where we all know each other and understand everyone's personality when dealing with a joke that might hurt someone.
Honestly I think we are doing one through four of the steps in that. Our school tries to make it aware and take action, but sometimes it doesn't work. Also, we don't bring it personally or to the parents, unless a student goes in themselves and tells someone else that won't tell. They almost never bring it to the parents. Then again, I think our school has brought up the bullying situation too much. They have over done it. by over doing it, they are just making it worse. If you bring it up too much, people won't care at all, and I think it has gotten to that point. In the past when the adults now were in high school, there was so much bullying, and it was never brought up and the students were just fine. I think some are taking things to seriously and making a big deal out of nothing. Things are constantly happening and some of them need to suck it up and deal with the fact that this is happening. I understand if it's gotten so bad that you can't even show your face anymore and you are constantly thinking bad things. Some people I believe are doing it for attention, and should stop. Bullying is a problem, but I think we should leave it alone for a while.
i think that theres really not that big of an issue on bullying alot of people at our school think its a huge issue i mean with some people there is but with most no theres not and when teachers think its bullying they are normally just jokeing around with eachother and teachers dont understand that so they take action which you cant blame them and thats what you have to think about if your gonna mess around take responsability.
Without a doubt, there is a bullying problem in our school. Although, I seldom see it, I know it goes on. Everyone has a different definition of what bullying is, but I think that we can all agree that bullying is an act of violence or abuse meant to hurt someone physically, emotionally, or verbally. Even the "harmless" teasing is bullying, depending on who the person is. If I was teasing my best friend, Shayna, she understands the playful nature, and knows that I wouldn't say something to intentionally hurt her feelings; therefore she is not offended by my jokes and sarcasm. People just need to be more conscientious of their actions, and how they are affecting others.
Bullying is a problem in pretty much any school. People are aware of the bullying but there really is not a way to stop it. You cannot monitor everything that goes on in school. Bullying is taken differently from person to person. Some people may think they are messing around but to the other person they could take it in a completely different way. Some people need to grow up a little bit and stop bullying. Bullying happens every day and sometimes teachers can not do anything because they do not see it. If people get caught bullying they should be punished more than they are now.
