Running Head: SYSTEMS THINKING 1

Introduction

How to reduce suicide rates amongst children, this could be refined as a systems approach to reduce bullying in school. Bullying consists of being physical such as hitting and verbal abuse which includes name calling, threatening or even spreading rumors. Many children suffering from bullying this condition can lead to serious injuries and problems with their self-image or self-esteem. Those that engage in bully like behaviors tend to use their popularity, power or strength to manipulate others. Bullies tend to target those smaller in size, or even those that does not have the ability to defend themselves. I chose this topic because I also have been a victim of bullying. This topic speaks so many levels for myself because I have been in many abusive situations at the age of twelve that have affected me. I felt as though my experiences and what have helped me through life could have the child realize to not let others manipulate them and make them feel less of a person. System approaches include:

1. Providing role-playing techniques to build confidence in the victim

2. Support group method

3. Exercising

Providing role-playing techniques to build confidence in the victim, the board of Guilford County Schools should provide role-playing techniques, so the victims are able to have the opportunity to discuss how being picked made the victim feel and gives them the chance to speak on what their thinking in various roles. The goal of the schools is to let victims draw out what they’ve learned from the role play experience and make connections with their own lives.

Support group method is a method that helps people that have offended someone attend a meeting together, at which the bully is required to listen to what harm he/she has done to others which can give the ability to see the remorse from the offended party. This method also gives the person that has been bullied a way of sharing their feelings at the meeting with the bullies, together with people that has had similar experiences that could give their support.

Exercising is an activity that requires you to use your abilities to strengthen your mental, physical and emotional health. The child could spend about 30 mins to 1 hour 3 days a week to use this technique just, so they are fully getting over the bullying they’ve endured. This will make the child feel like they are in control and have more confidence within themselves. This hobby a way to help the child to feel less likely sad or have suicidal thoughts, it is stated the more you exercise the better a person’s mental health could be.
