“Bullying is a big problem that effects millions of students, and it has everyone worried, not just the kids on it’s receiving end” (Lyness 1). Bullying does not just affect kids, but the parents too. It affects the parents because a lot of their children begin to be afraid attending school. In the novel Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, Melinda was affected by being bullied lead her to think about suicide, scared of coming to school, and victims like Melinda begin to not care about school and fail. Melinda was affected by being bullied and led to many things and one of them is thinking about suicide.

After that, she felt like a big failure; moreover, she quitted trying so hard and stopped taking English seriously, but her biggest worry was that she never knew why she didn’t pass that test. The story of Shannon Nichols deeply amazed me and I really enjoyed it and loved it because of the simple and unique reason that I also experienced the same kind of feelings when I took a similar test six years ago and I was trying to get in one the best universities in my country, so I know how Shannon felt after failing the test that was very important for her. I need to mention that in Peru is a little bit different from America; students graduate from high school and after they prepare themselves, they have to take a test that decides whether or not one is ready for the university. The test is called “Admission Exam”, and every single student needs to pass it before getting cleared to attend classes at the university. It took me twice to pass that test and just like Shannon, I got completely disappointed after failing the first time because I was always a good student and I knew I had prepared myself well enough to pass the test in the first time, but that was not the case and I did not pass the test until my second attempt.
They will miss school more often and complain of such illnesses as colds, sore throats, fevers and stomach upset. Continued bullying can result in the child dropping out of school, developing bad habits such as smoking, drinking alcohol and getting into fights. The HRSA website also indicates that “60% of boys who were bullies in middle school had at least on criminal conviction by the age of 24. Bullying in school also has an impact on other students at school by creating a climate of fear and disrespect in schools and has a negative impact on student learning.” Those who are bullied are five times more likely to be depressed and far more likely to be suicidal than those who are not bullied according to the Groundspark
Older people always tell me they would re-do there high school years over again, but not me. Graduation day had to be the best day of my life, finally my senior year was over. I could finally get away from the horrible memories I had and start over. I couldn’t believe I made it through Brennan High School. A lot of people always think Brennan High School is for bad kids, kids that get kicked out of school that might be true for a few but most of us were there for emotional problems.
Jeremy Reed English 1101 Section 104 Jack Ehn October 29, 2014 Against School I can relate to John Taylor Gatto. "Against School" As I look at my kids as they do their homework it seems challenging at times, or I find them being bored with it and wanting to either do more work or not wanting to do any work at all. They seem to understand it’s just not challenging enough, or they may just be bored. Gatto says “I taught for thirty years in some of the worst schools in Manhattan, and in some of the best, and during that time I became an expert in boredom. Boredom was everywhere in my world, and if you asked the kids, as I often did, why they felt so bored, they always gave the same answers: They said the work was stupid,
* Due to all this I believe that I that at work I am a reliable, hard working person. Although I make mistakes sometimes, when I am told, I do my hardest to rectify that. * I’m punctual and I have never been late for anything. I believe as I’m mature for my age, I am a good role model for the people I work with, and as I have lived with someone with disabilities I can relate to them in some ways. * I am a forgiving and patient person, which I think is what you need to work in this sector.
I have always had various interests in different things. And this work was rewarding in a way that at the end of the day it brought me inner satisfaction of steering peoples beliefs into something better, hence the reward made me excel in it. I do (in my personal life and work) use my resources very well and don’t let negative situations get me. The reason I didn’t score well in Humanistic Encouraging section is maybe because I learned how to talk about leadership and what leadership but I didn’t pay much attention to people who were actually around me or maybe to myself first. I can recall situations where I was friendly and was being able to sustain a healthy relationship with friends and coordinates; I wasn’t able to support them fully.
During middle school was when he was introduced to many illegal substances. He started hanging with the wrong crowd and was very much influenced by his peers. Middle school was also around the time when there started to be abuse within his family; between mother and stepfather to whom he called dad. Having abuse in his family; made him want to retaliate, not against his stepfather, but with the other kids at his school. Getting in trouble at school meant coming home to stepfather and getting punished.
Another factor was their classification by others as being “Goth” or “outcast nerds”. Being harassed by classmates as well as being put down by their teachers can lead a student to be depressed, but should never lead to a full fledged massacre. Another major factor considered to be influencing these boys were video games. The boys had been diagnosed with mental disabilities and the police, family members, and others felt their game playing contributed to their actions. They say the games became to life like for the boys to handle which lead to the homicidal thoughts and in the long run the massacre itself.
