Bullying+and+Stereotyping

=__**Bullying and Stereotyping**__=

Here at Moyock Middle School, we have bullying, cyberbullying and stereotyping, which tends to get out of hand if not helped.
====In Katie's point of view, she feels that bullying is rude and disrespectful to those who are being talked about. She's mentioned that she's been a victim of bullying and that people usually say that she comes off like a mean person. She said it made her feel very upset because most people who had said that about her didn't know her that well since it was by first impression. She told me that she witnessed a girl being bullied in person before and that this girl was being yelled at by, not one person, but a group of people at one time; she mentioned that they were yelling at her for no reason.====

====In Briana's perspective, she views bullying as unnessesary and irritating to those being bullied. She said that she's never been a victim to bullying, but she has witnessed it a couple times. Like Katie, she saw the same person being bullied and it was a group of people, that same group of people. Briana mentioned that she doesn't understand why people have to always have a negative input on what and why someone does something or likes something, which is basically leading back to bullying.====

====To Kaylah, she thinks of bullying as a easy way to hurt someone, especially if that person has a weak will. She's been a victim to bullying before and people would call her annoying, etc. She's stuck up for herself and several people ended up stopping. She's witnessed people being bullied and stuck up for them as well as herself.==== ====I asked four people which was worse: cyberbullying or bullying in person and two out of the four thought cyberbullying is worse. Briana had said that it's easy to be strong at a safe distance. What she means is that as long as you never come face to face with that person, or see them physically, you'll say anything, and not in a positive way. Another person, Kaylah, mentioned that cyberbullying is worse because if that person who's texting you, messaging you, or even talking to you over the phone, you won't know if that's someone else, expecially on Facebook, Twitter, etc. It could be one of their friends, or anybody else; as long as their profile has their name and picture on it, you're gonna think it's that person.====

====On the other hand, Dmahria and Katie, think that bullying in person is worse. Katie said that it's worse because it's to that person's face and it's coming from the actual bullier, or even a group of bulliers. She said it could also hurt more since you're actually hearing it. Dmahria said it's worse since it can lead to more than just words, and angry slurs, but also physical fights. It could get out of hand since there's a possibilty someone else could get involved, maybe even a witness. And as Katie mentioned, more than one person could be ganging up on someone.====
