I need to write an essay about bullying the prompt is

In the aftermath of several widely reported incidents of school violence across the nation, many parents, teachers, and students are examining the problem of school bullying. To avoid potential tragedies, your school board is considering implementing a policy to address the incidence of bullying.


Write a letter to your local school board in which you discuss the need for a policy to prevent bullying in your school and suggest what steps this policy should take to prevent bullying from occurring.

Answer 1

The article is

Bullying is usually described as aggressive behavior against less powerful students that takes place repeatedly over time.

How widespread is this problem? A 1998 survey found that thirty percent of school students identified themselves as either the target of a bully or as a perpetrator of aggression. This means that each day 3.2 million students nationwide are the victims of 3.7 million bullies. While girls are slightly less likely to be bullies, boys and girls suffer to the same degree from the aggression of bullies.

Bullying is not just a normal part of growing up that kids must "go through." Researchers have found that the victims of persistent bullying are five times more likely to show signs of clinical depression than other students. Depression, in turn, can lead to illness, poor grades, lowered self-esteem, or violent behavior.

Bullies are also affected by their behavior. Self-reported bullies are more likely than other students to get into fights or carry a weapon to school. After school lets out, researchers have found that bullies are more likely to be convicted of a crime by the age of 24 than other students.

Experts differ widely when asked how this problem should be addressed. Some agreement exists as to the basics, however. Anti-bullying programs often begin with classroom discussions to raise awareness among students about the causes and effects of bullying. Greater adult supervision in and around the school and playground can further help to identify bullies who may require individual interventions. Finally, the consequences of bullying must be made clear to the student body.

With the right kind of policy in place, experts believe a less threatening environment can be established in America's schools.

During the third paragraph, describe how bullies aren't natural, how they are affected by nurture factors. (environmental factors, like their parents abuse them or hit each other.)

Answer 14

The factor bullying can affect everyone! The main three that are influenced by this aggressive behavior is those who are the victims, the bully, and the witnesses that watch this type of harassment. Bullying causes many negative effects, it impacts greatly on mental health and self-esteem. Kids who are bullied would usually experience depression and anxiety along with feelings of sadness and loneliness. They would most likely have sudden changes in sleep and eating patterns; lose interest of activities they use to enjoy also. They can be permanent and stick to the child throughout adult hood. They can even decrease in academic achievements! Even school participation. Victims would miss, skip, or even drop out of the school. In 12/15 school shooting cases in the 1990s, most of the shooters had histories of being bullied!

Answer 15

@ShadowLegendX

Answer 16

That can finish up your 2nd paragraph, so now you say how it can contribute for bullies and witnesses, and that should finish up your 3rd paragraph, then your almost done.

Answer 17

so that is the Second paragraph?

Answer 18

yes!

Answer 19

oh, including this: Kids that are bullies also suffer in the long run. They can use alcohol and other drugs to sooth their pain during their teenage years or adulthood. Probably to be involved in fights, vandalization of property, and engage in sexual activities EARLY. Also, they are most likely to have criminal sentences and traffic citations as adults. Even to become abusive towards their partners, spouses, or even children as they progress into adults. The kids that watch bullying play out would copy what they see! Or even worse, think it is ok!

Answer 21

Bullies are influenced by nurture affects, they aren’t just naturally born bullies. They’d probably been abused or seen their parents abuse each other. So they think it is OK to mistreat others! It isn’t alright and we need to put a stop to this unhealthy hostility! To stop this, we can speak up and tell them that this isn’t right! It isn’t justice. Get the bullies some support and consolers, also to those whom are the victims. We can stop this if we make the effort to. If we don’t act soon, these bad factors will increase! More suicidal cases will come in! More heartbreaks and mental illnesses will occur in each subject. The bullies, the victims, and the watchers.

Answer 22

That is the conclusion, and your done!

thank you @MissSmartiez
