BULLYING
INTRODUCTION
- WHY I CHOSE BULLYING AS MY TOPIC
Well, I’m going to talk about one of the
most important problems in our schools at present. It is bullying. I have chosen this topic because I work as a P.E. teacher and this is an issue which
I’m worried about.
A
SAD CASE OF BULLYING
Last month, on TV, I saw that Arancha, who was a disabled teenager, committed
suicide after being bullied in her school in Madrid. This is a real case in my country. I was deeply saddened when I saw
it, I couldn’t believe my eyes, I cannot imagine how frightened the girl must
have been to commit suicide.
MY
CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE IN SCHOOL
I remember when I went to Primary and
Secondary school, children used to have little arguments but they were really
little problems that they used to solve very quickly. I must say that if
someone had been bullied, the students would have tried to defend the
victim.
Another curious fact is that they didn’t have the chance
to use mobiles phones, tablets,
computers, laptop… because they didn’t exist. Perhaps if they had had all the
technology that children have at present, they would have sent emails, text
messages, Facebook posts and other social media to hurt someone, like what happens currently.
I personally believe that the more people work towards a solution, the
better future generations will be.
Have you ever stopped to think how terrible
bullying is? Have you ever thought what consequences bullying can have?
WHERE,
WHAT, WHEN AND WHY BULLYING OCCURS
Bullying might be defined in many different
ways but in general we could say that it is aggressive behaviour which someone uses
to cause harm, fear, intimidate to
dominate other. This behaviour is
typically repeated over time.
Secondly, where might people suffer
bullying? bullying can happen
in any context in which humans interact with each other. This includes family,
parks, workplaces, home, neighbourhoods and so on,
but I am going to focus on schools. Lots of Psychologists consider that
It may occur more frequently during Physical Education classes and activities
such a break time , it can also take
place in school hallways, bathrooms, on school buses, in classes that require
group work and or after school activities.
On the other hand, how could people hurt
somebody? Experts say that this happens because the bully is full of
inferiority complexes.
Bullying can cause both physical and psychological damage. The former can be, for example
pinching, shoving, hitting. The latter, the bully usually uses 3 types of techniques
·
Verbal, they usually make sexist, racist
or homophobic comments.
·
Social, the best common is excluding
others from a group, saying bad words about the person.
·
Written, writing insulting notes. It commonly
knows as cyber bullying in which they use technology to send emails, photos, add bad
comments in social networks
