Bullies' Targets



Do you think bullying is a problem in WHS? Who do think bullies target the most and why? Is there anything that can be done to lessen bullying in schools and ultimately decrease the number of youth suicides? Have you ever been bullied?

Yes bullying is a problem in WHS, because people do commit suicide as a result of bullying. I think bullies target gay people the most because all you hear in the hallways is "your gay, get away from me." I don't think that there can be anything done because sometime you can't prevent what people say because adults aren't always there to prevent this. Of course not, I have never been bullied in my life.

I have not heard any serious cases of bullying in WHS. Bullies often target people who are different or have different views than them such as being gay. Bullying is a serious thing and should be seriously stopped. People have a right to be who they are without criticism from other people. I was bullied I my younger years but, it wasn’t as bad as others.

I do not think bullying is a pressing issue in Windsor High School. Yes, we have bullying in our school but I don’t believe that it is a major problem. I think bullies target people they believe are smaller than them in a physically and mentally. I’m not sure what we can do to stop bullying in schools. It is one of those things that has always been there and most likely will stay there. We possibly could educate the students more on this issue.

I don't really think that WHS has a lot of problems with bullying that I see. I think that bullies always target the weak. The weak consists of the gays, nerds, and skinny weak people. People are going to bully people no matter what a school tries to do. Children are going to kill themselves if they feel the need to. I think children who feel that way should talk to someone before they try to and look for help because not everyone is a bully. I have never been bullied before but, everyone gets hurt one way or another by either getting bullied or not.

I do not think bullying is a problem in WHS. I think bullies target people who do not stick up for themselves. I think there is nothing to lessen bullying in schools until there are tougher punishments. I was not aware that people took their lives do to bullying. I have never been bullied sometimes what when you stick up to yorself, they try to be your friend.

I think this video fits today because today is suppose to be a day to wear purple in honor of the six suicides involving gay guys. In addition to this, Kesha has dedicated her newest song, “we are who we are” to these victims. I find it ridiculous that people are hurting people for their sexual preference. Who someone chooses to be with is their business and unless you’re interested in being with that person you shouldn’t care what kind of people they like. If you don’t like someone for something they do, believe in, or have a preference for then don’t hang around them. You can stay away but don’t go out of your way to make them feel horrible for being themselves.

WHS does have bullies, but most times it is caught in its early stages and worked out before someone gets hurt. I think that bullies target homosexuals and independent kids the most. The only thing that can be done is to make kids more aware of bullying and how to get an adult involved. I was bullied in elementary school, but they eventually left me alone once I stopped letting it bother me.

I think bullying is problem at WHS. Bullies target people they are jealous of or people they feel are not as good as they are. There will never be a way to stop bullying. Bullying is a way to make people feel good about themselves or cover up their insecurities. I have been bullied and I still am. I am so tired of it but there is no way to stop it.

No i do not think that bullying is a problem in WHS. I think bullies target the smaller children the most because they are not able to defend their selfs. There are somethings that can be done to lessen bullying in school when ever some one is bullied they should tell a teacher an adult. Yes, i have been bullied before at all my schools i was always joked on because of my size

Bullying happens everywhere. I really don’t know about any bullying in WHS. As long as there is someone who feels that someone is different and needs to be picked on there will be bullying. To lessen the accounts of bullying we need to teach acceptance and tolerance. If someone’s bullying someone the punishment should be worse then a freaking slap on the wrist. I was bullied when I was young. I was the smart social reject, the perfect target. Now I’m taller, stronger, and down right scary looking so most people don’t mess with me.

I do not think that bullying is a problem at Windsor High. I think that bullies target the more different people, such as gay boys and gothic type people. I think they chose them because the person bullying feels the need to pick on someone else maybe because they are not liked or feel the need to hurt someone’s feelings. I don’t think that bullies will ever go away, there’s no way to fix people who do messed up things to other people. A way to help prevent youth suicide could be talking about it more, showing young teens the damage it really does, and explaining that if you cause someone to kill themselves you have to live with that. No one wants to live with the guilt of causing a young child to commit suicide. I personally have never really been bullied, people joke around but that’s about it.

Maybe there are things I don't know but from what I see I don't think bullying is a problem in WHS. I think bullies target gay boys and goths because those are the people that are so much unlike themselves. I don't really think there is too much that can be done to lessen bullying in schools and decrease the number of youth suicides because if they are not bullying people in school then they are bullying people out of school because they have to have that feeling of superiority. I have never been bullied and that probably is because of my personality.

I think bullies target anyone who is the slightest bit different. I don't think there is anything authorites could do to STOP bullying but make these videos, tell stories, and list the numbers of problems from this. I have never been bullied, but it is a sad thing to hear of young adults killing themselves on a count of someone else hurting their feelings. I believe once people visually see what they are doing they won't feel so tough when they are beating someone or poking fun at them.

No i dont think bullying is a problem in WHS. The weak the people how cant fight back. Their is not realy anything you can do about it. Yes i have been bullied.

I think bullying isn't a major problem in Windsor High. I know it happens, but I don't think that is the main problem here. Bullies target gay people the most. Punishment should be administrated when a guy person is bullied because the bullying his a lasting effect on the person. I've been bullied and it feels horrible. I don't think anyone should have to go through or deal with bullying especially not for being gay.

I believe bullying is a problem at Windsor High School. Many people bully gay and fat people. Fat people are easy to bully because they are fat. Some people cry after they get bullied. I don’t feel sorry for people who get bullied because they are fat because they choose to be fat.

I do not think bullying is a big problem at WHS. Some bullying goes on around school though. I’m not sure what could prevent the bullying in schools. I haven’t been bullied but I have been a bully at one point time in my life, hate to say it.

Brandon said...

Eh its bullying it happens to everyone at one point or another. Sure its wrong and it shouldn't happen but it is also human nature to put down both those who we believe to be beneth us and those we are jealous of. Bullying really can't be fully stopped. Yes bullying does happen in Windsor.
I am mostly bullied by brother.

I don't think there is bad bullying in Windsor. I think bullys target the weaker kids or the kids that look nerdy. In my opinion there will always be a bully. There will always be bullys and I know that more kids will commit suicide. That pressure I would think is terrifying. I have never been bullied.

Unknown said...

Bullies need to find something better to do, seriously. Bullies seem to target people that are different. In some cases people need to learn to take some criticism. Some people, on the other hand, need to watch what they say to people because you don't exactly know what this person is going through or how they are going to deal with it.

Unknown said...

I think bullying is a problem here a WHS. People just talk a lot of smack about anyone, but that's everywhere you go. I don't think bullying will ever end, because nothing is going to stop people from saying stuff about others. I think teens consider suicide not only from bullying in school but also out of school. Suicide is a horrible thing and if people just kept opinions to themselves maybe things would change. I used to get bullied sometimes because people would say stuff about anything! But now I really keep to myself, that's the best way to avoid it all.

Bullying has sometimes happened at our school. I hate it when people bully. I think bullies target the kids who aren't exactly with the "in" crowd or gay people. The one thing that can be done to decrease the number of youth suicides would be to have councilors, teachers, and principles do something about it. They can't just sit around and do nothing about it. It affects me a lot because I was bullied at my old school. The only reason they bullied me was because I was short. People can be so stupid and terrible.

Not really here in Windsor High School. The only person I have seen bullied at Windsor for being gay is Matthew Burgess. I think that bullies target each other and quiet kids. I think that schools discipline against bullies. I have never been bullied.

Unknown said...

I don't think that bullying is a problem. That's only because I haven't witness it. But just because I haven't witness it doesn't mean that it isn't happening. To me it shouldn't really matter if anyone is gay or anything. Most people don't know what is going on in others mind but we should consider thinking about that.

I don't think bullying is a problem at WHS. Bullies target anyone who is easy to torment. Anyone who seems weak or different can be a target. There has to be something that can be done, but I don't know where to start. People need to be aware of what they are saying and to whom they say it. They might not realize that how they treat other people affects them in a big way.

I think bullying is a problem in Windsor High. I say this because people often get criticized on a daily basis. I see students sitting by themselves at lunch. People with low self - esteem take things serious and these are the people who take it out on themselves. Bullying needs to stop period!

Hannah said...

I don’t think bullying is a big problem in Windsor. I think bullies target the people who let them make it hurt them. If you act like it’s a big deal it makes it more fun for them so pick on you. If you act like it’s not a big deal they will leave you alone. I think people need to grow up and leave people alone. There is no need to pick on people. Personally I have never been bullied, and I’m thankful for that.

Unknown said...

Yes, bullying is a problem in WHS. The bullies target the people with low self esteem, because they are the easiest targets.Bullies will be bullies, they are only going to change if they want to.No I have not been bullied before, because people are scared of me haha. Losers.

I personally don't think bullying is not a problem at WHS. Bullies target the people that they think don't have enough confidence and people that aren't like them. There are lots of ways to reduce bullying and decreasing the number of youth suicides. People should form circles of friends or a friend that is there for them, and also and won't judge them. They should be able to talk with them at any time they're not feeling so great about a situation, and the friends should be able to listen to them. I've never been bullied before because I try to get along with anyone I come in contact with.

Yes I think bullying is a problem in WHS!I have seen people crying because they have been bullied by other students. I think bullies target fat kids,gays or lesbians and the quite kids. No I do not think anything can be done to lessen bulling. The only way to decrease the number of youth suicides is to not have any people around fat,gay,lesbians,or quite kids.That would be the only way to to decrease youth suicides. As a matter of fact I have been bullied. When I was younger I was bullied for being fat and for being quite. So I know what some kids go through that are bullied.

My thought when i watched this video was, how could someone do something like this? I feel less secured and more in danger after watching this video because the Muslim's ideas are getting better. And we dont really know their ideas until they're exposed. I have very little confidence in the government regarding our national security because they just don't know what they're doing at times. especially dealing with Muslim's.
