The first one is a bully. A bully can be more than just a person beating up a weaker kid. Bullies need to feel powerful over others, "The aim of bullying is to cause embarrassment and humiliation in the subject" (Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying, 6). A bully is someone who is usually overbearing or cruel. Harassment is where someone is being bothered to the point that the situation has now become dangerous. Individual's harass others for two reasons, "Harassment is aimed at intimidation, and a desire to dominate for some reason" (Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying, 6). They feel like they need to be in charge of a certain situation. Dealing with bullying and harassment can be really difficult. There are many ways to help stop these situations. They include, "Showing good posture indicates confidence, and may reduce someone's likelihood of being a target. Making eye contact can also communicate that you are not vulnerable. Avoid isolated areas. Try to stay in public areas, where there are likely to be witnesses to the bullying behavior. Keep friends around. Many bullies are not interested in picking on someone who has a support system. Runaway. This can be difficult. However, it is better to leave the situation that to comply with a bully's demands. Tell an authority figure. Notify authority figures of bullying behavior. This can be a good move, since it will bring the bully to the attention of those who can help" (Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying, 7). These ways may seem not easy at first, but in a given situation they could help you avoid a bullying problem in the future. People who bully and harass are just wanting to be superior over a weaker person. Using these tips above can help you avoid these problems.]]> 2017-03-18 02:59:48 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie_caple/bqmsd8bex0es/wish/160907972 stephanie_caple https://padlet.com/stephanie_caple/bqmsd8bex0es/wish/160908357 My sister was bullied last year in middle school. There was a boy making fun of her for being the only girl doing percussion. He bullied her everyday. My sister told my mom and she told the band director of the school and they kept an eye on the situation. My sister began to walk with her friend to every class and she was never alone. He bullied her in front of her friend and her friend stood up for her. Since they showed him that she was not weak, he didn't bother her after a while. She now learned from that situation and began to take matters into her own hands. She does not want this to happen to her again, so she walks in groups and always walks with confidence. I do not think that this situation could be handled any better because she completed most of the tasks to either, avoid or get out of being bullied, that were on the list.]]> 2017-03-18 03:16:58 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie_caple/bqmsd8bex0es/wish/160908357
