6. Reflection #1
This article did a very good
job at explaining what is
considered bullying.
There are many forms of
bullying and a lot of them
are not taken as seriously
as the should be. This
specific article got the
point across that bullying
clearly does exist.

9. Reflection #2
Throughout this article
there were a lot of things
that I was not aware took
place. I did not realize
that there were so many
children that are made
fun of and picked on
throughout the United
States daily. There really
needs to be an end that is
put to this.
10. How Teachers Deal With Bullying
• The term bullying refers to
the direct physical and
verbal acts of hitting, kicking,
taunting, or teasing another
individual.
• There are many things that
are considered bullying but a
few of the ones that people
normally don’t think are
included are manipulating
and excluding others.
• All teachers need to be
aware of every students
feelings and things that are
going on in their classroom. (Gleason)
11. Strategies for Dealing with Bullying
1. Turn the situations into a
learning experience for the
children.
2. Have the class brainstorm
ideas to prevent it from
ever happening again.
3. The individual that is
bullying is never singled
out or talked to in front of
the class, they are always
alone where no one can
hear them. It is now
believed that if something
is said in front of the class
then it will not happen
(Gleason) again.
12. Reflection #3
One thing that teachers
should be able to do
before they are
allowed to get their
teaching licenses is to
know how to control
bullies. There are
many children that are
bullied on a daily basis
and it is not right.
There are strategies
that each teacher
should do to help stop
this issue from
reoccurring.
13. Conclusion
1. There are so many different
types of bullying that exist
now. They can range
anywhere from text
messaging to verbally yelling
at someone.
2. Bullying happens to everyone,
it doesn’t matter on the
individuals race, gender, or
grade. It does however effect
some individuals more than
others.
3. One way for teachers to try to
eliminate bullying is by
talking to their students in
front of the class and not just
alone and private.
