Actually, Lindsey, the majority of bullies have family and socioeconomic issues, not the bullied. They have a point to prove because of something that do not like about themselves, but a bully's need to compensate for their low self esteem will not allow them to look at their own actions, because they carry somewhat of a narcissistic personality. Children of this nature are truly the ones that need an extreme amount of help. The bullies are caught in the same web they cause. They are yelling and screaming for help the only way how victimizing others in their process because that is all they were ever taught. The bullied are the less aggressive that were taught and given the proper tools. It isn't until the bullied are not heard by the one's that have the power to stop it that the real psychological damage of the innocent occurs.

The results of this study regarding the affects of being bullied connecting with the victim's academic life are very helpful to teacher's in their attempt to decrease the bullying rate among schools. These results can prove useful because it shows not only the fact that bullying affects academics but also answers the question, HOW it affects them. I believe that these results do reflect on the Hudson High School enviroment but no entirely. This whole bullying issue doesn't seem like a urgent topic to me becaus e I don't think our school has much of an issue with it. Don't get me wrong, I understand bullying does go on but compared to the way they make it seem, our school doesn't even come close. Students who are bullied do seem to have a more difficult time participating in class and asking questions which is a huge key to success but there is a bigger picture rather than just bullying itself. The majority of victims of bullying have a poor home life or are socially challenged which may lead to the being bullied, but bullying is just of smaller aspect of it. Bullying does not directly affect me but seeing it and reading about the issue makes me think and put myself into their shoes in order to do my part in lowering the rates. I think the researchers approach to this topic was well done but it would've been a good idea to study differant age levels to get a wider range of data. I think bullying laws will be ideal to solving the issue and more bullying awareness would also be affective.

It's really upsetting to think that there is bullying going on in schools everywhere, including Hudson High, but even more upsetting to think that the victims of this bullying suffer more than just low-self esteem but also in their schoolwork. I think that when people think of bullying they picture some cliche like a huge kid taking a little boy's lunch away or shoving him into a locker, but the fact is that bullying doesn't have only that image anymore. Today it exists in many different ways; kids are targetted online, through rumors, through name-calling and tons of other forms of abuse. I also think sometimes people aren't fully aware of their actions or even that they are bullying someone. This is easy to do if you're online because you don't see the other person and you feel free to say whatever you want. Because of this feeling of openness and freedom that being online gives you, there is a lot more cyberbullying occurring. That is why this article is really disturbing to me, because the rate of bullying, has definitely increased due to these new forms of abuse, so based on this research, there are probably a great deal of bullying victims at Hudson High and every school that are suffering not just the abuse but also in school. This research is beneficial for kids to read so they know to watch what they say on the internet and in person because it can have such a greater effect than you think, and also for teachers and guidance counselors so they can look out for it.
