Bullying
There is a large number of kids that are bullied every second, minute , and year. Suicide is the third leading cause of death according to the Center for Disease Control. It results in about 4,400 deaths per year. Bullied victims are 7 to 9% more likely to consider suicide according to a study by Yale University. Studies in Britain have found half of the suicides among youth related to bullying. Also more than 160,000 kids stay home from school each day to avoid being bullied. That's no way to receive a great education. Let us and help us end bullying. More than 160,000 students are missing school each day because they're afraid of getting picked on, taunted, beaten up.
A recent report from the Interactive Autism Network found that around 63% of children with the autism have been bullied over three times as much as those that don’t have the disorder . Children with disabilities like physical, developmental, intellectual, emotional, and sensory disabilities are at an higher risk of being bullied. Any number of factors like physical vulnerability, social skill challenges, or intolerant environments it may increase the risk. Research suggests that some children with disabilities may bully others .Kids with special health needs, such as epilepsy or food allergies, also may be at higher risk of being bullied. Bullying can include making fun of kids because of their allergies or exposing them to the things they are allergic to. In these cases, bullying is not just serious, it can mean life or death.Special considerations are needed when addressing bullying in youth with disabilities. There are resources to help kids with disabilities who are bullied or who bully others. Youth with disabilities often have Individualized Education Programs or Section 504 plans that can be useful in crafting specialized approaches for preventing and responding to bullying. These plans can provide additional services that may be necessary. Additionally, civil rights laws protect students with disabilities against harassment.
Help us make sure all bullying is stopped. It is important for everyone in the community to work together to send a unified message against bullying. Launch an awareness campaign to make the objectives known to the school, parents, and community members. Establish a school safety committee or task force to plan, implement, and evaluate your school's bullying prevention program. Build bullying prevention material into the curriculum and school activities. Train teachers and staff on the school’s rules and policies. Give them the skills to intervene consistently and appropriately. We should also establish a school culture of acceptance, tolerance and respect and make sure that all bullying is rampant in all schools . Use staff meetings, assemblies, class and parent meetings, newsletters to families, the school website, and the student handbook to establish a positive climate at school instead of roving around the campus . Reinforce positive social interactions and inclusiveness.
Bullying is an extremely hard thing to go through as a kid in this world and all this bullying is making kids susceptible . I have been bullied my life and everyone has been bullied by someone. So when I read about how parents don’t help their own children who are getting bullied I feel bad that I can’t help . Parents shouldn’t ever expect their child to solve things all on their own. Bullying is something human being’s should never have to go through. If you ever see a person or anyone ever getting bullied you need to make sure you tell that person being hurt words of kindness or condolence and everyone should assertively agree . There should be a constituency one day .
When I see on t.v. or read about anyone with a special need getting hurt it breaks my heart . My 6 year old little brother has high functioning autism. So in school when I hear people make fun of eachother by calling each other special ed or retarded or stupid It effects me alot. I always imagine my brother in high school and I get so scared and emotional ,because me as someone who doesn’t have a disorder I think high school is hard and I don’t want to go sometimes because of people but I have to . I don’t ever want my brother to be hurt or heartbroken same with my other 5 siblings.
