How Has Bullying Changed?
Posted:Friday, October 22, 2010 by Jodee Blanco

I hear this question all the time: is bullying any worse today than it was thirty years ago? My answer is always the same - bullying is just as bad today as it was in generations past. What //is// different? The weaponry is far more sophisticated, cutting a wider and deeper swath. For example, when I was kid, someone could start a nasty rumor by jotting down a note and passing it around class. And that would be the end of it. But now, that same rumor could be posted on Facebook, uploaded on YouTube, emailed or IMed to hundreds of recipients or texted to countless cell phones. The impact of the rumor is then far more severe, and can often take on a life of its own. What's even more difficult is that teens today have no escape. When I was a student, I knew that when I went home after school, I could get temporary respite from the abuse. With the Internet, that's no longer true. Kids are now haunted in their homes and constantly held hostage by the hostility of their peers. No wonder bullying-related suicides are on the rise. It seems that many kids simply have no place to go that feels safe. What's the good news in all of this? America is finally starting to "get it" and respond appropriately to the problem. When speaking at schools and working with students, teachers and parents to generate awareness, I see evidence every day that gives me hope. I see school administrators who are beginning to respond to the call for action. Politicians across the country are aggressively engaged in passing anti-bullying laws. Services like Social Shield are giving parents more effective tools for protecting their children in cyberspace. Another encouraging sign is the expanding media coverage on bullying issues. This coverage is not only reporting incidents of bullying, but probing for answers to the problem. Do we still have a long way to go? Of course we do. But the dialogue has begun. Keep in mind that when I was a kid, the term "school bullying" didn't even exist. It was just "kids being kids," and many adults believed bullying was simply a rite of passage. Thank goodness that kind of ignorance has been replaced by an outcry to not only understand bullying's underlying causes, but to find suitable solutions.

 SUMMARY: DANIELA CORDOBA: when i read this information i was very impressed, because i though that in the past there was no bulling, or at least is was very rare, but i also realized how much it has changed, becoming even worst. now, if you are being bullied, in a few seconds it can be a world rumor, just by clicking on "post" .... once you post it on the internet it can be never deleted! wow! i think it answers this concept, because it tells how bulling has aggraviate through time... how it has become more powerful, and how long it can last !

CHANGE

Boys or girls?

“In the past, physical bulling was usually Only carried out by boys, and boys are often still involved in these tipe of bullying. However, some girls are becoming more assertive and aggresive. Now there is a greater change that girls will take part in acts of physical bulliyng.”

SUMARY:

I think this information answers change concept, because it tells how bulling has changed through time, it shows that nowadays not Only boys are the ones involved with bullying… also girls do bully people!

previous knoledge:

i think that bulling have always existed in the hole world, but it has changed in somethings through generations, and time. for example the bully, when my mum was little, if an adult get to know that someone was bulling their child, they would tell the bluer parents and the bully would be punished worst than what it is now, because in this nowadays generations, kids don't care about what their parents think or tell them ! they just do whatever they want... before, schools teached values and they where more important for kids!

nowaday kids shout to their parents, and do what they want!
