 People have always been bullied for a long time and this is not new and it must be stopped . There are multiple types of bullying in schools and online or just anywhere you go. Bullying can be caused by different types of things or problems.

There is an article that talks about bullying and how it can hurt kids. The website is called HealthyChildren.org it talks about how there are 3 types of bullying and what it can do to the people that are getting bullied. And the website gives numbers and support for the people to call for bullying. 

Most kids at Jefferson Morgan once in there life or even its still going on and that they have been getting bullied from online and in public. Here is a quote from Dash Mihok “A lot of us have done bullying and didn’t even realize we did it”. He is saying that watch the things you say because it can really hurt someone and you don’t even know.

In the article “Bullying is not ok” it talks about how most bully’s go for kids that cry or get mad very easily. The kids that are bullying have been bullied before and bully kids to make them feel better about themselves. The article says that most kids bullied at school,online, and when adults are not around to witness it.

Students from Jefferson-Morgan say that most of them when they were bullied was from online. Kids use social media so that they are not bullying them in front of adults or not doing it in public. They do this so they do not get in any trouble unless the kid getting bullied reports it.

This is from the Jefferson Morgan Bullying Policy it technically explains what bullying is and the rest of the policy is talking about how if they find out about the bullying you will get in trouble.Bullying means an intentional electronic, written, verbal or physical act or series of acts directed at another student or students which occurs in a school setting that is severe, persistent or pervasive and has the effect of doing any of the following:

  1. Substantial interference with a student’s education.
  2. Creation of a threatening environment.
  3. Substantial disruption of the orderly operation of the school.

Bullying, as defined in this policy, includes cyberbullying”.
