Week 8 Post 2

I found this week's discussion to be very interesting because bullying has become a major issue all over the world. I believe that everyone can relate to the personal reflection part of the discussion either directly or indirectly and contribute their own experiences to the subject. I read many of our classmates' responses to the personal reflection. Reading about other people's experiences opened my eyes to the subject in a new way. Learning about other people's real-world example of bullying made me realize even more how relevant bullying is, whether it be in elementary school, middle school, or high school. I also read many of our classmate's responses for part two which brought many people to state that they believe school should implement anti-bullying programs. I agree with these responses because the research that I read explained that anti-bullying programs are very effective and that there are various ways that they can be implemented in schools. One common way that many schools inform their students about bullying is through assemblies. Another way is through anti-bullying programs that are policy and higher discipline measures. Many of our classmates had similar responses for part three in regards to cyber bullying. Many children and teenagers find it easier to bully others when they are behind their cell phone or computer and I believe that parents need to monitor their children's use of social media.
