No Proof Yet of 11-Year-Old Boy Being Paralyzed Due to Bullying at School
2008-04-15 18:41:00 This photo of Matthew is very difficult to look at but if true (as of today it is still under investigation) that he was indeed pushed down the stairs by another child in his school, then the photo should be enlarged and hung up in the bully's juvenile detention bedroom while he is undergoing counseling for his behavior. Oh yes and the bully's family needs to be included in this counseling, as bullies are created and not born. Every single school needs to be addressing bullying by way of classes on the subject as well as keeping a watchful eye out as far as their students' behavior is concerned, via hall monitors, video cameras, etc. Our children need to be kept safe while attending school - not living in fear of their very lives by bullying, weapon use, etc. It is up to US to make certain they are protected. We are the mature adults after all and the role models, who are there to guide their smooth transition along their path into a civilized society. READ ABOUT THIS HERE Pr...

Parenting Tips - Bullying Prevention
2008-04-04 17:58:00 Parenting Tips - Bullying Prevention By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expe-rt=Pauline_Go]Pauline Go One of the most common problems of children at school is bullying. Bullying can lead to many other problems. For instance, your children may want to start skipping school because of fear and anxiety. Bullying can lower your children?s self esteem. Some victims of bullies may feel depressed. Other victims develop aggressive behaviors toward other children. Bullying can range from verbally teasing to physically hitting. Unfortunately, approximately ten percent of children are the victims of bullies. Children who are quiet, anxious, sensitive, or small are more vulnerable for bulling. Believe it or not, most victims of bullies will not seek help from the teacher or parents, because they may fear the bullies. Therefore, it is important for the parents to learn how to recognize the signs of the problem. For instance, some children constantly complain about being teased at school. Other child...

Bullying the epidemic that’s a growing concern
2008-03-06 03:52:00 This is the last in the three part series on a worldwide probelm By Gina Burgess Originally published in the Picayune Item Behavior that offends or harms someone is a broad definition of workplace bullying. Mary tells Sandra that Betty is sleeping with the boss, when in fact the rumor isn’t true. Spreading gossip or rumors is one type of indirect bullying. When a vicious rumor is spread with the intent to get a person fired, that is defined as an intent to harm, but few would call that a criminal act worthy of jail time. According to Workplace Bullying and Trauma Institute, workplace bullying is “the repeated mistreatment of one employee targeted by one or more employees with a malicious mix of humiliation, intimidation and sabotage of performance.” Court cases involving disability, ethnic and gender discrimination, and sexual harassment have had such reasonable success as to cause laws to be enacted to make them criminal acts if proven. However, statistics show that b...
Bullying is torture at school
2008-03-06 03:49:00 Part 2 of a 3 part series By Gina Burgess Originally published in the Picayune Item “For two years 13 year-old Johnny was a human plaything for some of his classmates. The teenagers badgered him for money, forced him to swallow weeds and drink milk laced with detergent, beat him up in the restroom, and tied a string around his neck, leading him around as a ‘pet’. When interrogated about the bullying, they said they pursued their victim because it was fun,” said Dan Olweus, of the Research Centre for Health Promotion at the University of Bergen, Norway. The quote was part of an article published in a Norwegian newspaper in 1993. Bullying among school children has been going on for centuries, but it was only in the 1980s that it became a phenomenon of study among social psychologists in Europe. In the 1990s it gained worldwide attention. More recent headlines read like disturbing case studies from a child behavior psychology book. - A 14-year-old kept a journal in whic...
Bullying is the silent epidemic part 1
2008-03-06 03:44:00 By Gina Burgess Lifestyles Editor First published in the Picayune Item  A six year old girl is walking home from school. The street is deserted and there are no other children at play close by. Suddenly an older girl stops her bicycle in front of the little girl. She grabs the little one’s chin and slaps her face leaving a redden hand print on her little cheek. The older girl then verbally abuses the child and slaps her again, threatening the child with more of the same treatment if the older girl sees her walking down her block again. The child’s parents are concerned, but don’t have a recourse because they don’t know the older girl’s name or where she lives and the incident didn’t happen on school grounds. Bullying like this is more prevalent than most people realize. Dr. Ken Druck, the founder of Families Helping Families program, worked with families at Columbine High School and Santana High School and other families who have had tragedies. He describes bullying a...

Big Head DC Getting Lesson In Blog Law | Big Head DC Bullying Stopped By Ze
2008-02-19 03:40:00 Big Head DC is a respectable publication on politics in DC. I enjoy reading it. But I did not like one of Big Head DC's blog articles where he -- the "he" is Rob Capriccioso (pictured) who's the editor of Big Head DC -- accused ABC News anchor Sam Donaldson of being a client of a DC madam named Deborah Jeane Palfrey and basically just because his name happened to be in her phone book and even though Deborah Jeane Palfrey who's the escort, explained to Rob that she had just called him to explain a phone mix-up, and not to offer services. Plus, Jossip explained "Except all Palfrey had to say to Capriccioso was that she made a single call to Donaldson ? to explain a phone call mix up, not to offer her services...Not that it stopped Capriccioso?s report.."Rob went ahead and wrote an account that in my view smeared Sam Donaldson and left out that the matter seemed to be a total misunderstanding. I wrote that Big Head smeared Sam Donaldson. That's my view and I'm sticking to...

Management Company is bullying me!
2008-01-28 18:58:00 My prior rental experiences have all been wonderful. Repairs were taken care of quickly, managers were pleasant to speak with, and I always received back nearly my full deposit.I lived in my last apartment for a year and three months. My requested repairs were not taken care of, but as they were minor complaints, I didn't put up a fuss about them. I loved my apartment. Imagine my surprise when I received my deposit check and out of $800 I received back $215 (I paid $400 regular deposit and $400 pet deposit)!I am a self-confessed neat-freak. I scrubbed, vacuumed, dusted, etc. I enlisted the help of a friend. I followed the rigorous list given to me.I was charged for painting, cleaning, and repairs (of something I could not read - the invoice was illegible). So I wrote a letter to management demanding more of my deposit back plus receipts.I received a letter back on Saturday, 70 days after my move-out date. They sent me the receipts (I still think these things that are norma...
Bullying at school is nothing new
2008-01-24 05:05:00 Bullying at school is an age-old problem and many took the "children will be children" attitude towards the problem. Bullying is about one thing: the strong taking unfair advantage of the weak. The problem exists in all schools. And now it seems teachers and principals are turning into bullies too.MP Lily Neo and chairperson for Government Parliamentary Committee for Education said, " School bullies are increasing and becoming bolder, brainier "My son Jaymes was a victim of school bullying, from primary to secondary school. He was small in size and meek. When the bullying started in Primary 2, he didn't dare to tell me. My parents-in-law noticed that his shirt was usually scribbled on and dirtied with coloured crayons. At first we thought he did it or he must have done something to deserve it. But words like 'idiot' and 'stupid' were written on the back of his shirt. I then dismissed it as children's pranks. We advised Jaymes to avoid conflicts with his clas...

Nearly all Oz teens are victims of mobile phone bullying
2008-01-23 09:44:00 Nearly all Aussie teens experience some form of mobile phone bullying at school, states a new study. The research, led by Queensland University of Technology Associate Professor Judy Drennan, has based its findings on a survey of 218 Queensland teens, out of which 93.6 percent admitted to having being bullied. Mobile phone bullying - or m-bullying as it has been nicknamed - involves using a mobile phone to harass, menace or offend someone. This form of bullying can include sending obscene or pornographic images, threats to sabotage the receiver’s reputation, or inappropriate messages of affection. Prof Drennan said that the results contradicted the findings of previous research that stated that mobile bullying was not on the rise in the country. "In contrast to previous research suggesting m-bullying did not appear to be increasing, our study finds that it is more prevalent than generally perceived among senior high school students,''...

Boy Scouts Take On Bullying
2008-01-23 06:00:00 There is a tendency in some circles to dismiss the recent efforts to deal with school bullying as unrealistic or "feel-good" nonsense. In part, I think that the situation may be exacerbated by stories about fringe programs that characterize boys as natural bullies or by remembrances of the important life lessons inherent in learning to stand up to bullies. However, I think that it's a mistake to be dismissive of the bullying problem or of efforts to address it. Consider the fact that the majority of those students who report being bullied are boys, and that boys are much more likely to be the victims of physical bullying. Consider also the fact that bullying is extremely detrimental to the school experience--how can a student who spends his school day full of fear and worry be expected to devote the necessary time and attention to his studies. When a child is afraid to go to school, we've passed the learning experience stage and entered...
