"It's a problem
at every school, there is no way
around it, people are different,
and have different personalities
and thought processes. So the result
of someone thinking opposite of
another is bullying, in some situations."
17-year-old female student, New
York
"I feel bullying
is a problem, though it is not something
that occurs on a daily basis. I
know it happens and even though
it may be happening to less people,
those "less people" are
feeling humiliation each and every
day when they walk into school."
12-year-old female student, New
York
"There are
a lot of bigger kids in this school
who think they can take charge of
those with some slight disabilities."
12-year-old female student, New
Jersey
"I think
that bullying is a problem in our
school because I always see kids
bullying in the halls, even though
our school has signs that say NO
BULLYING!!!"
15-year-old female student, West
Virginia
"I think
you can find bullying anywhere and
everywhere. I come from a large
public high school, so there are
many differences between race, religion,
friends, and parents' salary. Where
there are differences, there is
bullying, because people feel insecure
when they have less or are not accepted
by a certain group of people. Yes,
my school is guilty of this problem."
17-year-old female student, Maryland
"The teachers
stop it when they see it but it
also happens behind closed doors,
and some teachers are even afraid
of some students who have intimidating
adults/lives."
14-year-old female student, North
Carolina
"I
just moved here this year in September
and I have been at our school for
5 months. I have seen about 4 fights
(serious ones.) The first time I
saw a fight I walked away because
I didn't want to get involved. However,
you won't get in trouble if you
are helping someone. Let's say a
bully punched someone to the ground.
At first my instinct was to walk
away but now I would help the person
up, ask if they were ok. Then I
would bring the person to a teacher
and tell them what happened. Remember,
two wrongs don't make a right."
