The topic of bullying is a very serious topic and over time I feel like its been pushed to the side a little bit. As we continue to grow and excel as a society, specifically with how we are expanding with technology and social media, bullying can become more frequent. Although we can not control all aspects of bullying I think that making sure faculty members and parents are as informed as they can be. By breaking down the impacts that bullying has on children and from different point of views it is providing emphasis on how bullying can affect kids in different ways. By point all of this out, and then discussing the barriers did a great job with emphasizing the important of how not being informed will effect the staff as well. I think you did a really great job with breaking down all aspects of this issue and putting it together to show its importance and flow nicely.
Hi Idelyz! This was a great presentation and really showed the importance of mental health and bullying prevention, especially in schools. Our kids are the future of America, so we must make their mental health a priority so they can thrive and grow in all settings of their lives. In order to start anti-bullying prevention tactics, I believe schools should get parent, student, and staff opinions on what they think should be done, then test out the tactics they come up with. Some bullying will go unreported or unrecognized by adults, so how can schools and parents help with that? As Alexiss said before me, adults should learn about their child and social media presence, because cyber bullying is becoming way too common. In my high school, we had a very tight-knit community, often interacting with different grades at assemblies and pep rallies. Bringing students together with school-led activities may not eliminate bullying, but will stop some instances from happening. Overall, this is a crucial topic to be discussing in social work, and I hope you continue this research after you graduate from Seton Hall. Great work!
Hi Idelyz,
I enjoyed reading your poster. The topic of bullying is so important, especially in youth. Bullying is a topic that has always been talked about; however, it arguably has not been taken seriously enough. There is a stigma, or even assumptions, to bullying where we tend not to be as concerned or the idea that “we all get bullied at some point in life.” I liked how you emphasized why it is so important, especially the connection you made between suicide and bullying in youth. It is essential for youth to feel comfortable and safe in their learning environments, which bullying prevents. Bullying is often overlooked by teachers, parents, and staff, which I agree causes many barriers to the successful implementation of anti-bullying policies and programs. Teachers, staff, parents, and anyone really in a position of power should be well informed on anti-bullying programs and how to respond if a student or child comes to them for bullying.
