Bullying
Bullying has continued to be considered as a vital and critical issue in
our modern society. Very few of us are aware that bullying goes
beyond just children in school, but also occurs commonly in adults
during college and in the workplace. Cyber-bullying has become an
extensive issue because of social media.
Every month, thousands of students are subjected to physical and
psychological harm through bullying. Bullying is a form of physical
and emotional abuse that has three defining characteristics: physical,
verbal, relational, and cyber bullying. Physical bullying is the result of
a person using physical performance to dominate, provoke, and claim
control over another person. Physical bullying can consist of pushing,
kicking, slapping, or hitting another person. This type of bullying is
physically and psychologically damaging to a child and an adult.
When an adult or child fears for their safety, they struggle focusing on
their work or school. Physical scars will eventually heal but the
emotional scars from bullying can cause a child or adult to develop
anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), have lower academic
achievement and lack of sleep. Children and adults being bullied
undergo extreme stress and commonly begin to develop anti-social
behavior.
Bullying is commonly verbal, involving name calling, taunting,
intimidating and sexually charged comments. It is used by the
aggressor to dominate another person by degrading them.
This can result in depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, falling out of
school or quitting altogether. One out of five students between the
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
ages of 12-18 in the United States have reported being verbally abused
(Vlasova, H., 2020).
Relational bullying damages its victims through systematic damage
and manipulation. This type of bullying includes negative behaviors
like spreading gossip and rumors, as well as social exclusion. It
typically stems from female aggression, with the goal of weakening or
outmaneuvering someone. This type of bullying can cause feelings of
self-consciousness, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, and emotional trauma.
Bullying began in eighteenth and nineteenth century sports. Athletics
were seen as strengthening ideals of masculinity, developing
alongside norms regulating public schooling practices. A link can be
seen between increased physical bullying in early physical education
and wider revulsion for the practice leading to variances of bullying
behavior today- among those, cyberbullying has become the most
pervasive. It is easier to conceal and meet out punishment than with
traditional bullying and often goes unreported.
There has been an increasing academic debate surrounding the issue
of depiction and theoretical issues considering what is considered
bullying. These debates are based around the close association of
bullying with issues involving prejudice, harassment, discrimination,
and victimization. With increased debate surrounding the issue of
bullying, some academic researchers have sought to emphasize the
“moral imperative” for taking action to reduce instances of bullying in
schools.
It has long been a well-known fact that a reader will be distracted by
readable content when examining layout. Currently, Lorem Ipsum is
used as the standard model text for desktop publishing programs and
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
many web page editors. A search for lorem ipsum will turn up several
young websites. Several versions have evolved over time, sometimes
accidentally and sometimes on purpose.
Bullying is a rampant problem in schools, colleges, and workplaces.
While it may seem impossible to stop bullying overnight, one major
step is to increase awareness and understanding of the issue. Many
schools and colleges are working hard on anti-bullying campaigns,
and this takes time.
Cultural Beliefs and Bias
The beliefs I chose were that bullying is not really a big deal and that
it makes you stronger if you are bullied and bullies eventually stop
picking on others because people "grow up" and develop thicker skin.
The negative impact this belief has on the social issue is because if
someone is 35 years old and they say that he or she is being bullied,

they will not be believed, or else their situation will get worse because
they have openly said something wrong. People tend to think that
what does not kill you makes you stronger, which is not false.
However, more people are meant to withstand being bullied than just
brush it off. Bullying typically starts as an act of insecurity on the part
of the bully and unfortunately it often extends to those who are
victims. By understanding both viewpoints-victims and perpetrators-I
have a better understanding of my social issue. In addition, having
knowledge of both sides allows me to put myself in everyone's shoes
to better understand them.
Social Roles
Society imposes certain social roles upon people, which can influence
their behavior and cause frustration. The role of the bully is one in
which a person takes advantage of another for their own gain. This
occurs in a never-ending cycle, as a child becomes bullied at home
and then picks it up at school. Understanding these roles can help us to
better intervene in bullying situations.
Bullying is the result of imitation of accepted behaviors by those who
are subjected to them. The social roles identified on the concept map
are the parents and the bully. The connection between these two social
roles and bullying is how a person tends to mimic the behavior of the
environment that they are subjected to because they see it as normal.
For example, if a parent has a judgmental attitude about people who
are different or who show racist behavior and hate towards other
races, their child is more than likely to be a bully. The bully can have
varied reasons for why he bullies but living in a verbally and/or
physically abusive household can also lead to bullying because kids
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
will learn that if somebody upsets them it is ok for them to call them
names or abuse them.
Social Inequalities
Bullying has been proven to cause two social inequalities: people
being bullied because of their race or things they cannot control, and
people being bullied because of their family's economic standing.
These are two things I remember from when I was a student. People
tend to bully others for many reasons, but these are some of the most
common. Some kids are brought up with so much hatred inside them
that they need an outlet, so they usually pick on the most
disadvantaged people. Those who have more money often think they
are better than those who do not, so they let the less fortunate know
that. If people cared more about their friends and classmates than they
did about themselves, then these problems would not exist.
The social issue of inequality is targeted based on a person's specific
group of identity.
This often leads to them being bullied for their sexual orientation,
race, or any other social issue. It has been estimated that around 5 to 9
percent of youth identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and about 1 in 4
black people and 1 in 6 Latino people have experienced racial
bullying in their lifetime (Hazelden publishing 2016). Labeling
someone as predator, villainous, or an outsider diminishes our
compassion for them and creates an unequal playing field.
Impact of Social Change
Social media is a constant in everyone's lives, with it being so easily
accessible today.
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
There are people who like to hide behind their phones or computers
and just degrade people. Those people are also known as "keyboard
warriors." Suicide is also a result of how easily social media is
accessed. Some people believe that they cannot get away. They are
criticized for every little thing they do. Social media can make you
feel isolated, and like nobody knows the real you. According to the
article "Increase in Suicide Mortality in the United States 1999-2018,"
the suicide rate has increased by 35%. I think the start to facilitating
change with social media could start with parents by either not
allowing their children to have any social media or monitoring it
carefully. Facilitating change with suicide is also raising more
awareness. I have experienced my own losses to suicide, but not
everyone has. To me, suicide is the coward's way out, but I am also
sympathetic because I know most of the time their mindset is not in
the right place. If we raise more awareness and are just kinder to one
another, I think that will help tremendously. I also think that if it were
talked about more broadly, especially among all age groups, it would
help tremendously too.
Conclusion
Bullying has become a serious social issue that must be addressed.
Diversity is an important part of society today, and we need to learn
how to adapt to it. Just because someone looks different, sounds
different, or comes from a different background should not be a reason
to attack them. It is up to each of us as individuals to do whatever we
can to help stop the epidemic of bullying. There are numerous
resources available on bullying- how to recognize the signs, how to
prevent it, and how to talk to your children about it. Our children and
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
friends should not end up taking their lives or those of others because
of this social issue- we can stop it.

common. Some kids are brought up with so much hatred inside them
that they need an outlet, so they usually pick on the most
disadvantaged people. Those who have more money often think they
are better than those who do not, so they let the less fortunate know
that. If people cared more about their friends and classmates than they
did about themselves, then these problems would not exist.

The social issue of inequality is targeted based on a person's specific
group of identity.
This often leads to them being bullied for their sexual orientation,
race, or any other social issue. It has been estimated that around 5 to 9
percent of youth identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and about 1 in 4
black people and 1 in 6 Latino people have experienced racial
bullying in their lifetime (Hazelden publishing 2016). Labeling
someone as predator, villainous, or an outsider diminishes our
compassion for them and creates an unequal playing field.
Impact of Social Change
Social media is a constant in everyone's lives, with it being so easily
accessible today.
There are people who like to hide behind their phones or computers
and just degrade people. Those people are also known as "keyboard
warriors." Suicide is also a result of how easily social media is
accessed. Some people believe that they cannot get away. They are
criticized for every little thing they do. Social media can make you
feel isolated, and like nobody knows the real you. According to the
article "Increase in Suicide Mortality in the United States 1999-2018,"
the suicide rate has increased by 35%. I think the start to facilitating
change with social media could start with parents by either not
allowing their children to have any social media or monitoring it
carefully. Facilitating change with suicide is also raising more
awareness. I have experienced my own losses to suicide, but not
everyone has. To me, suicide is the coward's way out, but I am also
sympathetic because I know most of the time their mindset is not in
the right place. If we raise more awareness and are just kinder to one
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
another, I think that will help tremendously. I also think that if it were
talked about more broadly, especially among all age groups, it would
help tremendously too.
Conclusion
Bullying has become a serious social issue that must be addressed.
Diversity is an important part of society today, and we need to learn
how to adapt to it. Just because someone looks different, sounds
different, or comes from a different background should not be a reason
to attack them. It is up to each of us as individuals to do whatever we
can to help stop the epidemic of bullying. There are numerous
resources available on bullying- how to recognize the signs, how to
prevent it, and how to talk to your children about it. Our children and
friends should not end up taking their lives or those of others because
of this social issue- we can stop it.
Cultural Beliefs and Bias
The beliefs I chose were that bullying is not really a big deal and that
it makes you stronger if you are bullied and bullies eventually stop
picking on others because people "grow up" and develop thicker skin.
The negative impact this belief has on the social issue is because if
someone is 35 years old and they say that he or she is being bullied,
they will not be believed, or else their situation will get worse because
they have openly said something wrong. People tend to think that
what does not kill you makes you stronger, which is not false.
However, more people are meant to withstand being bullied than just
brush it off. Bullying typically starts as an act of insecurity on the part
of the bully and unfortunately it often extends to those who are
victims. By understanding both viewpoints-victims and perpetrators-I
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
have a better understanding of my social issue. In addition, having
knowledge of both sides allows me to put myself in everyone's shoes
to better understand them.
Social Roles
Society imposes certain social roles upon people, which can influence
their behavior and cause frustration. The role of the bully is one in
which a person takes advantage of another for their own gain. This
occurs in a never-ending cycle, as a child becomes bullied at home
and then picks it up at school. Understanding these roles can help us to
better intervene in bullying situations.
Bullying is the result of imitation of accepted behaviors by those who
are subjected to them. The social roles identified on the concept map
are the parents and the bully. The connection between these two social
roles and bullying is how a person tends to mimic the behavior of the
environment that they are subjected to because they see it as normal.
For example, if a parent has a judgmental attitude about people who
are different or who show racist behavior and hate towards other
races, their child is more than likely to be a bully. The bully can have
varied reasons for why he bullies but living in a verbally and/or
physically abusive household can also lead to bullying because kids
will learn that if somebody upsets them it is ok for them to call them
names or abuse them.
Social Inequalities
Bullying has been proven to cause two social inequalities: people
being bullied because of their race or things they cannot control, and
people being bullied because of their family's economic standing.
These are two things I remember from when I was a student. People
lOMoARcPSD|61746433

Impact of Social Change
Social media is a constant in everyone's lives, with it being so easily
accessible today.
There are people who like to hide behind their phones or computers
and just degrade people. Those people are also known as "keyboard
warriors." Suicide is also a result of how easily social media is
accessed. Some people believe that they cannot get away. They are
criticized for every little thing they do. Social media can make you
feel isolated, and like nobody knows the real you. According to the
article "Increase in Suicide Mortality in the United States 1999-2018,"
the suicide rate has increased by 35%. I think the start to facilitating
change with social media could start with parents by either not
allowing their children to have any social media or monitoring it
carefully. Facilitating change with suicide is also raising more
awareness. I have experienced my own losses to suicide, but not
everyone has. To me, suicide is the coward's way out, but I am also
sympathetic because I know most of the time their mindset is not in
the right place. If we raise more awareness and are just kinder to one
another, I think that will help tremendously. I also think that if it were
talked about more broadly, especially among all age groups, it would
help tremendously too.
Conclusion
Bullying has become a serious social issue that must be addressed.
Diversity is an important part of society today, and we need to learn
how to adapt to it. Just because someone looks different, sounds
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
different, or comes from a different background should not be a reason
to attack them. It is up to each of us as individuals to do whatever we
can to help stop the epidemic of bullying. There are numerous
resources available on bullying- how to recognize the signs, how to
prevent it, and how to talk to your children about it. Our children and
friends should not end up taking their lives or those of others because
of this social issue- we can stop it.
Cultural Beliefs and Bias
The beliefs I chose were that bullying is not really a big deal and that
it makes you stronger if you are bullied and bullies eventually stop
picking on others because people "grow up" and develop thicker skin.
The negative impact this belief has on the social issue is because if
someone is 35 years old and they say that he or she is being bullied,
they will not be believed, or else their situation will get worse because
they have openly said something wrong. People tend to think that
what does not kill you makes you stronger, which is not false.
However, more people are meant to withstand being bullied than just
brush it off. Bullying typically starts as an act of insecurity on the part
of the bully and unfortunately it often extends to those who are
victims. By understanding both viewpoints-victims and perpetrators-I
have a better understanding of my social issue. In addition, having
knowledge of both sides allows me to put myself in everyone's shoes
to better understand them.
Social Roles
Society imposes certain social roles upon people, which can influence
their behavior and cause frustration. The role of the bully is one in
which a person takes advantage of another for their own gain. This
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
occurs in a never-ending cycle, as a child becomes bullied at home
and then picks it up at school. Understanding these roles can help us to
better intervene in bullying situations.
Bullying is the result of imitation of accepted behaviors by those who
are subjected to them. The social roles identified on the concept map
are the parents and the bully. The connection between these two social
roles and bullying is how a person tends to mimic the behavior of the
environment that they are subjected to because they see it as normal.
For example, if a parent has a judgmental attitude about people who
are different or who show racist behavior and hate towards other
races, their child is more than likely to be a bully. The bully can have
varied reasons for why he bullies but living in a verbally and/or
physically abusive household can also lead to bullying because kids
will learn that if somebody upsets them it is ok for them to call them
names or abuse them.
Social Inequalities
Bullying has been proven to cause two social inequalities: people
being bullied because of their race or things they cannot control, and
people being bullied because of their family's economic standing.
These are two things I remember from when I was a student. People
tend to bully others for many reasons, but these are some of the most
common. Some kids are brought up with so much hatred inside them
that they need an outlet, so they usually pick on the most
disadvantaged people. Those who have more money often think they
are better than those who do not, so they let the less fortunate know
that. If people cared more about their friends and classmates than they
did about themselves, then these problems would not exist.
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
The social issue of inequality is targeted based on a person's specific
group of identity.
This often leads to them being bullied for their sexual orientation,
race, or any other social issue. It has been estimated that around 5 to 9
percent of youth identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and about 1 in 4
black people and 1 in 6 Latino people have experienced racial
bullying in their lifetime (Hazelden publishing 2016). Labeling
someone as predator, villainous, or an outsider diminishes our
compassion for them and creates an unequal playing field.

the right place. If we raise more awareness and are just kinder to one
another, I think that will help tremendously. I also think that if it were
talked about more broadly, especially among all age groups, it would
help tremendously too.
Conclusion
Bullying has become a serious social issue that must be addressed.
Diversity is an important part of society today, and we need to learn
how to adapt to it. Just because someone looks different, sounds
different, or comes from a different background should not be a reason
to attack them. It is up to each of us as individuals to do whatever we
can to help stop the epidemic of bullying. There are numerous
resources available on bullying- how to recognize the signs, how to
prevent it, and how to talk to your children about it. Our children and
friends should not end up taking their lives or those of others because
of this social issue- we can stop it.
Cultural Beliefs and Bias
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
The beliefs I chose were that bullying is not really a big deal and that
it makes you stronger if you are bullied and bullies eventually stop
picking on others because people "grow up" and develop thicker skin.
The negative impact this belief has on the social issue is because if
someone is 35 years old and they say that he or she is being bullied,
they will not be believed, or else their situation will get worse because
they have openly said something wrong. People tend to think that
what does not kill you makes you stronger, which is not false.
However, more people are meant to withstand being bullied than just
brush it off. Bullying typically starts as an act of insecurity on the part
of the bully and unfortunately it often extends to those who are
victims. By understanding both viewpoints-victims and perpetrators-I
have a better understanding of my social issue. In addition, having
knowledge of both sides allows me to put myself in everyone's shoes
to better understand them.
Social Roles
Society imposes certain social roles upon people, which can influence
their behavior and cause frustration. The role of the bully is one in
which a person takes advantage of another for their own gain. This
occurs in a never-ending cycle, as a child becomes bullied at home
and then picks it up at school. Understanding these roles can help us to
better intervene in bullying situations.
Bullying is the result of imitation of accepted behaviors by those who
are subjected to them. The social roles identified on the concept map
are the parents and the bully. The connection between these two social
roles and bullying is how a person tends to mimic the behavior of the
environment that they are subjected to because they see it as normal.
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
For example, if a parent has a judgmental attitude about people who
are different or who show racist behavior and hate towards other
races, their child is more than likely to be a bully. The bully can have
varied reasons for why he bullies but living in a verbally and/or
physically abusive household can also lead to bullying because kids
will learn that if somebody upsets them it is ok for them to call them
names or abuse them.
Social Inequalities
Bullying has been proven to cause two social inequalities: people
being bullied because of their race or things they cannot control, and
people being bullied because of their family's economic standing.
These are two things I remember from when I was a student. People
tend to bully others for many reasons, but these are some of the most
common. Some kids are brought up with so much hatred inside them
that they need an outlet, so they usually pick on the most
disadvantaged people. Those who have more money often think they
are better than those who do not, so they let the less fortunate know
that. If people cared more about their friends and classmates than they
did about themselves, then these problems would not exist.
The social issue of inequality is targeted based on a person's specific
group of identity.
This often leads to them being bullied for their sexual orientation,
race, or any other social issue. It has been estimated that around 5 to 9
percent of youth identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and about 1 in 4
black people and 1 in 6 Latino people have experienced racial
bullying in their lifetime (Hazelden publishing 2016). Labeling
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
someone as predator, villainous, or an outsider diminishes our
compassion for them and creates an unequal playing field.
Impact of Social Change
Social media is a constant in everyone's lives, with it being so easily
accessible today.
There are people who like to hide behind their phones or computers
and just degrade people. Those people are also known as "keyboard
warriors." Suicide is also a result of how easily social media is
accessed. Some people believe that they cannot get away. They are
criticized for every little thing they do. Social media can make you
feel isolated, and like nobody knows the real you. According to the
article "Increase in Suicide Mortality in the United States 1999-2018,"
the suicide rate has increased by 35%. I think the start to facilitating
change with social media could start with parents by either not
allowing their children to have any social media or monitoring it
carefully. Facilitating change with suicide is also raising more
awareness. I have experienced my own losses to suicide, but not
everyone has. To me, suicide is the coward's way out, but I am also
sympathetic because I know most of the time their mindset is not in
the right place. If we raise more awareness and are just kinder to one
another, I think that will help tremendously. I also think that if it were

it makes you stronger if you are bullied and bullies eventually stop
picking on others because people "grow up" and develop thicker skin.
The negative impact this belief has on the social issue is because if
someone is 35 years old and they say that he or she is being bullied,
they will not be believed, or else their situation will get worse because
they have openly said something wrong. People tend to think that
what does not kill you makes you stronger, which is not false.
However, more people are meant to withstand being bullied than just
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
brush it off. Bullying typically starts as an act of insecurity on the part
of the bully and unfortunately it often extends to those who are
victims. By understanding both viewpoints-victims and perpetrators-I
have a better understanding of my social issue. In addition, having
knowledge of both sides allows me to put myself in everyone's shoes
to better understand them.
Social Roles
Society imposes certain social roles upon people, which can influence
their behavior and cause frustration. The role of the bully is one in
which a person takes advantage of another for their own gain. This
occurs in a never-ending cycle, as a child becomes bullied at home
and then picks it up at school. Understanding these roles can help us to
better intervene in bullying situations.
Bullying is the result of imitation of accepted behaviors by those who
are subjected to them. The social roles identified on the concept map
are the parents and the bully. The connection between these two social
roles and bullying is how a person tends to mimic the behavior of the
environment that they are subjected to because they see it as normal.
For example, if a parent has a judgmental attitude about people who
are different or who show racist behavior and hate towards other
races, their child is more than likely to be a bully. The bully can have
varied reasons for why he bullies but living in a verbally and/or
physically abusive household can also lead to bullying because kids
will learn that if somebody upsets them it is ok for them to call them
names or abuse them.
Social Inequalities
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
Bullying has been proven to cause two social inequalities: people
being bullied because of their race or things they cannot control, and
people being bullied because of their family's economic standing.
These are two things I remember from when I was a student. People
tend to bully others for many reasons, but these are some of the most
common. Some kids are brought up with so much hatred inside them
that they need an outlet, so they usually pick on the most
disadvantaged people. Those who have more money often think they
are better than those who do not, so they let the less fortunate know
that. If people cared more about their friends and classmates than they
did about themselves, then these problems would not exist.
The social issue of inequality is targeted based on a person's specific
group of identity.
This often leads to them being bullied for their sexual orientation,
race, or any other social issue. It has been estimated that around 5 to 9
percent of youth identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and about 1 in 4
black people and 1 in 6 Latino people have experienced racial
bullying in their lifetime (Hazelden publishing 2016). Labeling
someone as predator, villainous, or an outsider diminishes our
compassion for them and creates an unequal playing field.
Impact of Social Change
Social media is a constant in everyone's lives, with it being so easily
accessible today.
There are people who like to hide behind their phones or computers
and just degrade people. Those people are also known as "keyboard
warriors." Suicide is also a result of how easily social media is
accessed. Some people believe that they cannot get away. They are
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
criticized for every little thing they do. Social media can make you
feel isolated, and like nobody knows the real you. According to the
article "Increase in Suicide Mortality in the United States 1999-2018,"
the suicide rate has increased by 35%. I think the start to facilitating
change with social media could start with parents by either not
allowing their children to have any social media or monitoring it
carefully. Facilitating change with suicide is also raising more
awareness. I have experienced my own losses to suicide, but not
everyone has. To me, suicide is the coward's way out, but I am also
sympathetic because I know most of the time their mindset is not in
the right place. If we raise more awareness and are just kinder to one
another, I think that will help tremendously. I also think that if it were
talked about more broadly, especially among all age groups, it would
help tremendously too.
Conclusion
Bullying has become a serious social issue that must be addressed.
Diversity is an important part of society today, and we need to learn
how to adapt to it. Just because someone looks different, sounds
different, or comes from a different background should not be a reason
to attack them. It is up to each of us as individuals to do whatever we
can to help stop the epidemic of bullying. There are numerous
resources available on bullying- how to recognize the signs, how to
prevent it, and how to talk to your children about it. Our children and
friends should not end up taking their lives or those of others because
of this social issue- we can stop it.

their behavior and cause frustration. The role of the bully is one in
which a person takes advantage of another for their own gain. This
occurs in a never-ending cycle, as a child becomes bullied at home
and then picks it up at school. Understanding these roles can help us to
better intervene in bullying situations.
Bullying is the result of imitation of accepted behaviors by those who
are subjected to them. The social roles identified on the concept map
are the parents and the bully. The connection between these two social
roles and bullying is how a person tends to mimic the behavior of the
environment that they are subjected to because they see it as normal.
For example, if a parent has a judgmental attitude about people who
are different or who show racist behavior and hate towards other
races, their child is more than likely to be a bully. The bully can have
varied reasons for why he bullies but living in a verbally and/or
physically abusive household can also lead to bullying because kids
will learn that if somebody upsets them it is ok for them to call them
names or abuse them.
Social Inequalities
Bullying has been proven to cause two social inequalities: people
being bullied because of their race or things they cannot control, and
people being bullied because of their family's economic standing.
These are two things I remember from when I was a student. People
tend to bully others for many reasons, but these are some of the most
common. Some kids are brought up with so much hatred inside them
that they need an outlet, so they usually pick on the most
disadvantaged people. Those who have more money often think they
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
are better than those who do not, so they let the less fortunate know
that. If people cared more about their friends and classmates than they
did about themselves, then these problems would not exist.
The social issue of inequality is targeted based on a person's specific
group of identity.
This often leads to them being bullied for their sexual orientation,
race, or any other social issue. It has been estimated that around 5 to 9
percent of youth identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and about 1 in 4
black people and 1 in 6 Latino people have experienced racial
bullying in their lifetime (Hazelden publishing 2016). Labeling
someone as predator, villainous, or an outsider diminishes our
compassion for them and creates an unequal playing field.
Impact of Social Change
Social media is a constant in everyone's lives, with it being so easily
accessible today.
There are people who like to hide behind their phones or computers
and just degrade people. Those people are also known as "keyboard
warriors." Suicide is also a result of how easily social media is
accessed. Some people believe that they cannot get away. They are
criticized for every little thing they do. Social media can make you
feel isolated, and like nobody knows the real you. According to the
article "Increase in Suicide Mortality in the United States 1999-2018,"
the suicide rate has increased by 35%. I think the start to facilitating
change with social media could start with parents by either not
allowing their children to have any social media or monitoring it
carefully. Facilitating change with suicide is also raising more
awareness. I have experienced my own losses to suicide, but not
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
everyone has. To me, suicide is the coward's way out, but I am also
sympathetic because I know most of the time their mindset is not in
the right place. If we raise more awareness and are just kinder to one
another, I think that will help tremendously. I also think that if it were
talked about more broadly, especially among all age groups, it would
help tremendously too.
Conclusion
Bullying has become a serious social issue that must be addressed.
Diversity is an important part of society today, and we need to learn
how to adapt to it. Just because someone looks different, sounds
different, or comes from a different background should not be a reason
to attack them. It is up to each of us as individuals to do whatever we
can to help stop the epidemic of bullying. There are numerous
resources available on bullying- how to recognize the signs, how to
prevent it, and how to talk to your children about it. Our children and
friends should not end up taking their lives or those of others because
of this social issue- we can stop it.
Cultural Beliefs and Bias
The beliefs I chose were that bullying is not really a big deal and that
it makes you stronger if you are bullied and bullies eventually stop
picking on others because people "grow up" and develop thicker skin.
The negative impact this belief has on the social issue is because if
someone is 35 years old and they say that he or she is being bullied,
they will not be believed, or else their situation will get worse because
they have openly said something wrong. People tend to think that
what does not kill you makes you stronger, which is not false.
However, more people are meant to withstand being bullied than just
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
brush it off. Bullying typically starts as an act of insecurity on the part
of the bully and unfortunately it often extends to those who are
victims. By understanding both viewpoints-victims and perpetrators-I
have a better understanding of my social issue. In addition, having
knowledge of both sides allows me to put myself in everyone's shoes
to better understand them.

Social Inequalities
Bullying has been proven to cause two social inequalities: people
being bullied because of their race or things they cannot control, and
people being bullied because of their family's economic standing.
These are two things I remember from when I was a student. People
tend to bully others for many reasons, but these are some of the most
common. Some kids are brought up with so much hatred inside them
that they need an outlet, so they usually pick on the most
disadvantaged people. Those who have more money often think they
are better than those who do not, so they let the less fortunate know
that. If people cared more about their friends and classmates than they
did about themselves, then these problems would not exist.
The social issue of inequality is targeted based on a person's specific
group of identity.
This often leads to them being bullied for their sexual orientation,
race, or any other social issue. It has been estimated that around 5 to 9
percent of youth identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and about 1 in 4
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
black people and 1 in 6 Latino people have experienced racial
bullying in their lifetime (Hazelden publishing 2016). Labeling
someone as predator, villainous, or an outsider diminishes our
compassion for them and creates an unequal playing field.
Impact of Social Change
Social media is a constant in everyone's lives, with it being so easily
accessible today.
There are people who like to hide behind their phones or computers
and just degrade people. Those people are also known as "keyboard
warriors." Suicide is also a result of how easily social media is
accessed. Some people believe that they cannot get away. They are
criticized for every little thing they do. Social media can make you
feel isolated, and like nobody knows the real you. According to the
article "Increase in Suicide Mortality in the United States 1999-2018,"
the suicide rate has increased by 35%. I think the start to facilitating
change with social media could start with parents by either not
allowing their children to have any social media or monitoring it
carefully. Facilitating change with suicide is also raising more
awareness. I have experienced my own losses to suicide, but not
everyone has. To me, suicide is the coward's way out, but I am also
sympathetic because I know most of the time their mindset is not in
the right place. If we raise more awareness and are just kinder to one
another, I think that will help tremendously. I also think that if it were
talked about more broadly, especially among all age groups, it would
help tremendously too.
Conclusion
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
Bullying has become a serious social issue that must be addressed.
Diversity is an important part of society today, and we need to learn
how to adapt to it. Just because someone looks different, sounds
different, or comes from a different background should not be a reason
to attack them. It is up to each of us as individuals to do whatever we
can to help stop the epidemic of bullying. There are numerous
resources available on bullying- how to recognize the signs, how to
prevent it, and how to talk to your children about it. Our children and
friends should not end up taking their lives or those of others because
of this social issue- we can stop it.
Cultural Beliefs and Bias
The beliefs I chose were that bullying is not really a big deal and that
it makes you stronger if you are bullied and bullies eventually stop
picking on others because people "grow up" and develop thicker skin.
The negative impact this belief has on the social issue is because if
someone is 35 years old and they say that he or she is being bullied,
they will not be believed, or else their situation will get worse because
they have openly said something wrong. People tend to think that
what does not kill you makes you stronger, which is not false.
However, more people are meant to withstand being bullied than just
brush it off. Bullying typically starts as an act of insecurity on the part
of the bully and unfortunately it often extends to those who are
victims. By understanding both viewpoints-victims and perpetrators-I
have a better understanding of my social issue. In addition, having
knowledge of both sides allows me to put myself in everyone's shoes
to better understand them.
Social Roles
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
Society imposes certain social roles upon people, which can influence
their behavior and cause frustration. The role of the bully is one in
which a person takes advantage of another for their own gain. This
occurs in a never-ending cycle, as a child becomes bullied at home
and then picks it up at school. Understanding these roles can help us to
better intervene in bullying situations.
Bullying is the result of imitation of accepted behaviors by those who
are subjected to them. The social roles identified on the concept map
are the parents and the bully. The connection between these two social
roles and bullying is how a person tends to mimic the behavior of the
environment that they are subjected to because they see it as normal.
For example, if a parent has a judgmental attitude about people who
are different or who show racist behavior and hate towards other
races, their child is more than likely to be a bully. The bully can have
varied reasons for why he bullies but living in a verbally and/or
physically abusive household can also lead to bullying because kids
will learn that if somebody upsets them it is ok for them to call them
names or abuse them.

black people and 1 in 6 Latino people have experienced racial
bullying in their lifetime (Hazelden publishing 2016). Labeling
someone as predator, villainous, or an outsider diminishes our
compassion for them and creates an unequal playing field.
Impact of Social Change
Social media is a constant in everyone's lives, with it being so easily
accessible today.
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
There are people who like to hide behind their phones or computers
and just degrade people. Those people are also known as "keyboard
warriors." Suicide is also a result of how easily social media is
accessed. Some people believe that they cannot get away. They are
criticized for every little thing they do. Social media can make you
feel isolated, and like nobody knows the real you. According to the
article "Increase in Suicide Mortality in the United States 1999-2018,"
the suicide rate has increased by 35%. I think the start to facilitating
change with social media could start with parents by either not
allowing their children to have any social media or monitoring it
carefully. Facilitating change with suicide is also raising more
awareness. I have experienced my own losses to suicide, but not
everyone has. To me, suicide is the coward's way out, but I am also
sympathetic because I know most of the time their mindset is not in
the right place. If we raise more awareness and are just kinder to one
another, I think that will help tremendously. I also think that if it were
talked about more broadly, especially among all age groups, it would
help tremendously too.
Conclusion
Bullying has become a serious social issue that must be addressed.
Diversity is an important part of society today, and we need to learn
how to adapt to it. Just because someone looks different, sounds
different, or comes from a different background should not be a reason
to attack them. It is up to each of us as individuals to do whatever we
can to help stop the epidemic of bullying. There are numerous
resources available on bullying- how to recognize the signs, how to
prevent it, and how to talk to your children about it. Our children and
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
friends should not end up taking their lives or those of others because
of this social issue- we can stop it.
Cultural Beliefs and Bias
The beliefs I chose were that bullying is not really a big deal and that
it makes you stronger if you are bullied and bullies eventually stop
picking on others because people "grow up" and develop thicker skin.
The negative impact this belief has on the social issue is because if
someone is 35 years old and they say that he or she is being bullied,
they will not be believed, or else their situation will get worse because
they have openly said something wrong. People tend to think that
what does not kill you makes you stronger, which is not false.
However, more people are meant to withstand being bullied than just
brush it off. Bullying typically starts as an act of insecurity on the part
of the bully and unfortunately it often extends to those who are
victims. By understanding both viewpoints-victims and perpetrators-I
have a better understanding of my social issue. In addition, having
knowledge of both sides allows me to put myself in everyone's shoes
to better understand them.
Social Roles
Society imposes certain social roles upon people, which can influence
their behavior and cause frustration. The role of the bully is one in
which a person takes advantage of another for their own gain. This
occurs in a never-ending cycle, as a child becomes bullied at home
and then picks it up at school. Understanding these roles can help us to
better intervene in bullying situations.
Bullying is the result of imitation of accepted behaviors by those who
are subjected to them. The social roles identified on the concept map
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
are the parents and the bully. The connection between these two social
roles and bullying is how a person tends to mimic the behavior of the
environment that they are subjected to because they see it as normal.
For example, if a parent has a judgmental attitude about people who
are different or who show racist behavior and hate towards other
races, their child is more than likely to be a bully. The bully can have
varied reasons for why he bullies but living in a verbally and/or
physically abusive household can also lead to bullying because kids
will learn that if somebody upsets them it is ok for them to call them
names or abuse them.
Social Inequalities
Bullying has been proven to cause two social inequalities: people
being bullied because of their race or things they cannot control, and
people being bullied because of their family's economic standing.
These are two things I remember from when I was a student. People
tend to bully others for many reasons, but these are some of the most
common. Some kids are brought up with so much hatred inside them
that they need an outlet, so they usually pick on the most
disadvantaged people. Those who have more money often think they
are better than those who do not, so they let the less fortunate know
that. If people cared more about their friends and classmates than they
did about themselves, then these problems would not exist.
The social issue of inequality is targeted based on a person's specific
group of identity.
This often leads to them being bullied for their sexual orientation,
race, or any other social issue. It has been estimated that around 5 to 9
percent of youth identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and about 1 in 4
lOMoARcPSD|61746433

change with social media could start with parents by either not
allowing their children to have any social media or monitoring it
carefully. Facilitating change with suicide is also raising more
awareness. I have experienced my own losses to suicide, but not
everyone has. To me, suicide is the coward's way out, but I am also
sympathetic because I know most of the time their mindset is not in
the right place. If we raise more awareness and are just kinder to one
another, I think that will help tremendously. I also think that if it were
talked about more broadly, especially among all age groups, it would
help tremendously too.
Conclusion
Bullying has become a serious social issue that must be addressed.
Diversity is an important part of society today, and we need to learn
how to adapt to it. Just because someone looks different, sounds
different, or comes from a different background should not be a reason
to attack them. It is up to each of us as individuals to do whatever we
can to help stop the epidemic of bullying. There are numerous
resources available on bullying- how to recognize the signs, how to
prevent it, and how to talk to your children about it. Our children and
friends should not end up taking their lives or those of others because
of this social issue- we can stop it.
Cultural Beliefs and Bias
The beliefs I chose were that bullying is not really a big deal and that
it makes you stronger if you are bullied and bullies eventually stop
picking on others because people "grow up" and develop thicker skin.
The negative impact this belief has on the social issue is because if
someone is 35 years old and they say that he or she is being bullied,
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
they will not be believed, or else their situation will get worse because
they have openly said something wrong. People tend to think that
what does not kill you makes you stronger, which is not false.
However, more people are meant to withstand being bullied than just
brush it off. Bullying typically starts as an act of insecurity on the part
of the bully and unfortunately it often extends to those who are
victims. By understanding both viewpoints-victims and perpetrators-I
have a better understanding of my social issue. In addition, having
knowledge of both sides allows me to put myself in everyone's shoes
to better understand them.
Social Roles
Society imposes certain social roles upon people, which can influence
their behavior and cause frustration. The role of the bully is one in
which a person takes advantage of another for their own gain. This
occurs in a never-ending cycle, as a child becomes bullied at home
and then picks it up at school. Understanding these roles can help us to
better intervene in bullying situations.
Bullying is the result of imitation of accepted behaviors by those who
are subjected to them. The social roles identified on the concept map
are the parents and the bully. The connection between these two social
roles and bullying is how a person tends to mimic the behavior of the
environment that they are subjected to because they see it as normal.
For example, if a parent has a judgmental attitude about people who
are different or who show racist behavior and hate towards other
races, their child is more than likely to be a bully. The bully can have
varied reasons for why he bullies but living in a verbally and/or
physically abusive household can also lead to bullying because kids
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
will learn that if somebody upsets them it is ok for them to call them
names or abuse them.
Social Inequalities
Bullying has been proven to cause two social inequalities: people
being bullied because of their race or things they cannot control, and
people being bullied because of their family's economic standing.
These are two things I remember from when I was a student. People
tend to bully others for many reasons, but these are some of the most
common. Some kids are brought up with so much hatred inside them
that they need an outlet, so they usually pick on the most
disadvantaged people. Those who have more money often think they
are better than those who do not, so they let the less fortunate know
that. If people cared more about their friends and classmates than they
did about themselves, then these problems would not exist.
The social issue of inequality is targeted based on a person's specific
group of identity.
This often leads to them being bullied for their sexual orientation,
race, or any other social issue. It has been estimated that around 5 to 9
percent of youth identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and about 1 in 4
black people and 1 in 6 Latino people have experienced racial
bullying in their lifetime (Hazelden publishing 2016). Labeling
someone as predator, villainous, or an outsider diminishes our
compassion for them and creates an unequal playing field.
Impact of Social Change
Social media is a constant in everyone's lives, with it being so easily
accessible today.
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
There are people who like to hide behind their phones or computers
and just degrade people. Those people are also known as "keyboard
warriors." Suicide is also a result of how easily social media is
accessed. Some people believe that they cannot get away. They are
criticized for every little thing they do. Social media can make you
feel isolated, and like nobody knows the real you. According to the
article "Increase in Suicide Mortality in the United States 1999-2018,"
the suicide rate has increased by 35%. I think the start to facilitating
change with social media could start with parents by either not
allowing their children to have any social media or monitoring it
carefully. Facilitating change with suicide is also raising more

resources available on bullying- how to recognize the signs, how to
prevent it, and how to talk to your children about it. Our children and
friends should not end up taking their lives or those of others because
of this social issue- we can stop it.
Cultural Beliefs and Bias
The beliefs I chose were that bullying is not really a big deal and that
it makes you stronger if you are bullied and bullies eventually stop
picking on others because people "grow up" and develop thicker skin.
The negative impact this belief has on the social issue is because if
someone is 35 years old and they say that he or she is being bullied,
they will not be believed, or else their situation will get worse because
they have openly said something wrong. People tend to think that
what does not kill you makes you stronger, which is not false.
However, more people are meant to withstand being bullied than just
brush it off. Bullying typically starts as an act of insecurity on the part
of the bully and unfortunately it often extends to those who are
victims. By understanding both viewpoints-victims and perpetrators-I
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
have a better understanding of my social issue. In addition, having
knowledge of both sides allows me to put myself in everyone's shoes
to better understand them.
Social Roles
Society imposes certain social roles upon people, which can influence
their behavior and cause frustration. The role of the bully is one in
which a person takes advantage of another for their own gain. This
occurs in a never-ending cycle, as a child becomes bullied at home
and then picks it up at school. Understanding these roles can help us to
better intervene in bullying situations.
Bullying is the result of imitation of accepted behaviors by those who
are subjected to them. The social roles identified on the concept map
are the parents and the bully. The connection between these two social
roles and bullying is how a person tends to mimic the behavior of the
environment that they are subjected to because they see it as normal.
For example, if a parent has a judgmental attitude about people who
are different or who show racist behavior and hate towards other
races, their child is more than likely to be a bully. The bully can have
varied reasons for why he bullies but living in a verbally and/or
physically abusive household can also lead to bullying because kids
will learn that if somebody upsets them it is ok for them to call them
names or abuse them.
Social Inequalities
Bullying has been proven to cause two social inequalities: people
being bullied because of their race or things they cannot control, and
people being bullied because of their family's economic standing.
These are two things I remember from when I was a student. People
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
tend to bully others for many reasons, but these are some of the most
common. Some kids are brought up with so much hatred inside them
that they need an outlet, so they usually pick on the most
disadvantaged people. Those who have more money often think they
are better than those who do not, so they let the less fortunate know
that. If people cared more about their friends and classmates than they
did about themselves, then these problems would not exist.
The social issue of inequality is targeted based on a person's specific
group of identity.
This often leads to them being bullied for their sexual orientation,
race, or any other social issue. It has been estimated that around 5 to 9
percent of youth identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and about 1 in 4
black people and 1 in 6 Latino people have experienced racial
bullying in their lifetime (Hazelden publishing 2016). Labeling
someone as predator, villainous, or an outsider diminishes our
compassion for them and creates an unequal playing field.
Impact of Social Change
Social media is a constant in everyone's lives, with it being so easily
accessible today.
There are people who like to hide behind their phones or computers
and just degrade people. Those people are also known as "keyboard
warriors." Suicide is also a result of how easily social media is
accessed. Some people believe that they cannot get away. They are
criticized for every little thing they do. Social media can make you
feel isolated, and like nobody knows the real you. According to the
article "Increase in Suicide Mortality in the United States 1999-2018,"
the suicide rate has increased by 35%. I think the start to facilitating
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
change with social media could start with parents by either not
allowing their children to have any social media or monitoring it
carefully. Facilitating change with suicide is also raising more
awareness. I have experienced my own losses to suicide, but not
everyone has. To me, suicide is the coward's way out, but I am also
sympathetic because I know most of the time their mindset is not in
the right place. If we raise more awareness and are just kinder to one
another, I think that will help tremendously. I also think that if it were
talked about more broadly, especially among all age groups, it would
help tremendously too.
Conclusion
Bullying has become a serious social issue that must be addressed.
Diversity is an important part of society today, and we need to learn
how to adapt to it. Just because someone looks different, sounds
different, or comes from a different background should not be a reason
to attack them. It is up to each of us as individuals to do whatever we
can to help stop the epidemic of bullying. There are numerous
resources available on bullying- how to recognize the signs, how to
prevent it, and how to talk to your children about it. Our children and

victims. By understanding both viewpoints-victims and perpetrators-I
have a better understanding of my social issue. In addition, having
knowledge of both sides allows me to put myself in everyone's shoes
to better understand them.
Social Roles
Society imposes certain social roles upon people, which can influence
their behavior and cause frustration. The role of the bully is one in
which a person takes advantage of another for their own gain. This
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
occurs in a never-ending cycle, as a child becomes bullied at home
and then picks it up at school. Understanding these roles can help us to
better intervene in bullying situations.
Bullying is the result of imitation of accepted behaviors by those who
are subjected to them. The social roles identified on the concept map
are the parents and the bully. The connection between these two social
roles and bullying is how a person tends to mimic the behavior of the
environment that they are subjected to because they see it as normal.
For example, if a parent has a judgmental attitude about people who
are different or who show racist behavior and hate towards other
races, their child is more than likely to be a bully. The bully can have
varied reasons for why he bullies but living in a verbally and/or
physically abusive household can also lead to bullying because kids
will learn that if somebody upsets them it is ok for them to call them
names or abuse them.
Social Inequalities
Bullying has been proven to cause two social inequalities: people
being bullied because of their race or things they cannot control, and
people being bullied because of their family's economic standing.
These are two things I remember from when I was a student. People
tend to bully others for many reasons, but these are some of the most
common. Some kids are brought up with so much hatred inside them
that they need an outlet, so they usually pick on the most
disadvantaged people. Those who have more money often think they
are better than those who do not, so they let the less fortunate know
that. If people cared more about their friends and classmates than they
did about themselves, then these problems would not exist.
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
The social issue of inequality is targeted based on a person's specific
group of identity.
This often leads to them being bullied for their sexual orientation,
race, or any other social issue. It has been estimated that around 5 to 9
percent of youth identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and about 1 in 4
black people and 1 in 6 Latino people have experienced racial
bullying in their lifetime (Hazelden publishing 2016). Labeling
someone as predator, villainous, or an outsider diminishes our
compassion for them and creates an unequal playing field.
Impact of Social Change
Social media is a constant in everyone's lives, with it being so easily
accessible today.
There are people who like to hide behind their phones or computers
and just degrade people. Those people are also known as "keyboard
warriors." Suicide is also a result of how easily social media is
accessed. Some people believe that they cannot get away. They are
criticized for every little thing they do. Social media can make you
feel isolated, and like nobody knows the real you. According to the
article "Increase in Suicide Mortality in the United States 1999-2018,"
the suicide rate has increased by 35%. I think the start to facilitating
change with social media could start with parents by either not
allowing their children to have any social media or monitoring it
carefully. Facilitating change with suicide is also raising more
awareness. I have experienced my own losses to suicide, but not
everyone has. To me, suicide is the coward's way out, but I am also
sympathetic because I know most of the time their mindset is not in
the right place. If we raise more awareness and are just kinder to one
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
another, I think that will help tremendously. I also think that if it were
talked about more broadly, especially among all age groups, it would
help tremendously too.
Conclusion
Bullying has become a serious social issue that must be addressed.
Diversity is an important part of society today, and we need to learn
how to adapt to it. Just because someone looks different, sounds
different, or comes from a different background should not be a reason
to attack them. It is up to each of us as individuals to do whatever we
can to help stop the epidemic of bullying. There are numerous
resources available on bullying- how to recognize the signs, how to
prevent it, and how to talk to your children about it. Our children and
friends should not end up taking their lives or those of others because
of this social issue- we can stop it.
Cultural Beliefs and Bias
The beliefs I chose were that bullying is not really a big deal and that
it makes you stronger if you are bullied and bullies eventually stop
picking on others because people "grow up" and develop thicker skin.
The negative impact this belief has on the social issue is because if
someone is 35 years old and they say that he or she is being bullied,
they will not be believed, or else their situation will get worse because
they have openly said something wrong. People tend to think that
what does not kill you makes you stronger, which is not false.
However, more people are meant to withstand being bullied than just
brush it off. Bullying typically starts as an act of insecurity on the part
of the bully and unfortunately it often extends to those who are
victims. By understanding both viewpoints-victims and perpetrators-I
lOMoARcPSD|61746433

For example, if a parent has a judgmental attitude about people who
are different or who show racist behavior and hate towards other
races, their child is more than likely to be a bully. The bully can have
varied reasons for why he bullies but living in a verbally and/or
physically abusive household can also lead to bullying because kids
will learn that if somebody upsets them it is ok for them to call them
names or abuse them.
Social Inequalities
Bullying has been proven to cause two social inequalities: people
being bullied because of their race or things they cannot control, and
people being bullied because of their family's economic standing.
These are two things I remember from when I was a student. People
tend to bully others for many reasons, but these are some of the most
common. Some kids are brought up with so much hatred inside them
that they need an outlet, so they usually pick on the most
disadvantaged people. Those who have more money often think they
are better than those who do not, so they let the less fortunate know
that. If people cared more about their friends and classmates than they
did about themselves, then these problems would not exist.
The social issue of inequality is targeted based on a person's specific
group of identity.
This often leads to them being bullied for their sexual orientation,
race, or any other social issue. It has been estimated that around 5 to 9
percent of youth identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and about 1 in 4
black people and 1 in 6 Latino people have experienced racial
bullying in their lifetime (Hazelden publishing 2016). Labeling
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
someone as predator, villainous, or an outsider diminishes our
compassion for them and creates an unequal playing field.
Impact of Social Change
Social media is a constant in everyone's lives, with it being so easily
accessible today.
There are people who like to hide behind their phones or computers
and just degrade people. Those people are also known as "keyboard
warriors." Suicide is also a result of how easily social media is
accessed. Some people believe that they cannot get away. They are
criticized for every little thing they do. Social media can make you
feel isolated, and like nobody knows the real you. According to the
article "Increase in Suicide Mortality in the United States 1999-2018,"
the suicide rate has increased by 35%. I think the start to facilitating
change with social media could start with parents by either not
allowing their children to have any social media or monitoring it
carefully. Facilitating change with suicide is also raising more
awareness. I have experienced my own losses to suicide, but not
everyone has. To me, suicide is the coward's way out, but I am also
sympathetic because I know most of the time their mindset is not in
the right place. If we raise more awareness and are just kinder to one
another, I think that will help tremendously. I also think that if it were
talked about more broadly, especially among all age groups, it would
help tremendously too.
Conclusion
Bullying has become a serious social issue that must be addressed.
Diversity is an important part of society today, and we need to learn
how to adapt to it. Just because someone looks different, sounds
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
different, or comes from a different background should not be a reason
to attack them. It is up to each of us as individuals to do whatever we
can to help stop the epidemic of bullying. There are numerous
resources available on bullying- how to recognize the signs, how to
prevent it, and how to talk to your children about it. Our children and
friends should not end up taking their lives or those of others because
of this social issue- we can stop it.
