Bullying can now lead to criminal cases and lawsuits. By the schools letting bullying continue it teaches students that it's ok. This creates a fearful environment instead of a learning one. Students feel "let me bully so I don't get bullied". Bullying victims can have a lot of stress added on and it can lead to retaliation such as school shootings as well as suicide.
• Psychological / Mental – this is when someone is intimidated and stalked • Cyber – In this technological age Cyber Bullying has become a problem. This type of bullying can be chat rooms, online, instant messaging, emails, on a mobile phone or computers None of the above are acceptable behaviour.

In the article “From Lockers to Lockup” Jessica Bennett argues about the issue of bullying. Bennett believes that bullying is bad and questions are schools really the problem of bullying? Can they really do much about it? I agree with her questionings, for example she claims that “cases like this are being invoked as a potent symbol for why, in the digital age, schools need bullying policies and states need legalization” (Bennett). This is true to the point that the schools are already doing all it can do to prevent bullying, however legalizing it has to be the next step so people can become more aware of the seriousness this is.
Class discussion could be based on a consideration of the characters and the different ways they deal with bullying. The bullying is done for no understandable reason, as the author shows. What would be other ways to combat bullying? • Teamwork is demonstrated in the novel in the boys’ efforts to present a united front for their debating team. Perhaps a formal debate with four speakers against and four speakers for the affirmative could be arranged to discuss such questions as: ‘That unchecked bullying in schools leads to world conflict’; ‘That intelligence always overcomes brute force.’ • Students could emulate Prue Leseur’s peg people and create their own versions of world leaders, or famous actors or musicians, and present them in class, describing why they chose the person, and their
Step 1 – Define the problem When reviewing and revising cyber bullying policy for the city of St. Joseph, I took it upon myself to look at the past and present policy upon bullying and cyber bullying St. Joseph has in place. I looked at the St. Joseph School District policy and noticed the school policies defines bullying as “repeated and systematic intimidation, harassment and attacks on a student or multiple students, perpetuated by individuals or groups.

Cyberbullying and Sexting Cyberbullying and Sexting are two technological abuses that have societal and environmental effects on students and adults today. Siegle (2010) commented, “According to an AP-MTV (2009) poll, more than 75% of 14- to 24-year-olds believe that digital abuse is a serious problem for people their age. Yet, only about half believe that what they post online could come back to hurt them” (p. 15).

The use of cell-phones, gaming and the internet is communication tools of choice for this generation.

Bullying was once looked upon as a rite of childhood. You had to deal with it and get tougher because of it, it was going to happen no matter if you stayed home, went to school or even went out to play with the neighborhood kids.
