On Monday, October 21, Alburtis Elementary School will be celebrating Unity Day! (please wear Orange!) Unity Day is a day set aside to discuss bullying and ways to reduce bully behaviors in our schools!
Bullying is defined as deliberate hurtful behavior which takes place over a period of time by a child with the same specific target/victim. Often times victims do not report bullies.
Here at Alburtis we work hard to help students understand the difference between a child who makes a bad choice (is mean, rude, disrespectful) toward another and a bully who demonstrates repetitive patterns of mean, rude, disrespectful behavior toward another.
Bullying can be physical, verbal, social/relational, and/or cyber.
Bullying is becoming more and more frequent among today’s youth in locations like school and online, according to recent bullying statistics. There are different types of bullying of which bullying statistics reveal almost half of all students have experienced.
Unfortunately, recent bullying statistics show that bullying is on the rise among young adults, teens and children. The rise in these bullying statistics is likely due to a fairly recent form of bullying seen in recent years called cyber bullying. This type of bullying has gotten immense media attention over the past few years sighting instances of cyber bullying pushed too far, and in many cases leading to cases of teen suicide or death. Many bullying statistics and studies have found that physical assaults have been replaced with constant cyber assaults in the form of bashing, rumors and other hazing content targeted at a single student or group of students.
Bullying statistics:
About 42 percent of kids have been bullied while online with one in four being verbally attacked more than once.
About 35 percent of kids have been threatened online.
About 58 percent of kids and teens have reported that something mean has been said about them or to them online.
Other bullying statistics show that about 77 percent of students have admitted to being the victim of one type of bullying or another.
The American Justice Department bullying statistics show that one out of ever 4 kids will be bullied sometime throughout their adolescence.
46 percent of males followed by 26 percent of females have admitted to being victims in physical fights as reported in one report of bullying statistics by the Bureau of Justice School.
What Is Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place over digital devices like cell phones, computers, and tablets. Cyberbullying can occur through SMS, Text, and apps, or online in social media, forums, or gaming where people can view, participate in, or share content. Cyberbullying includes sending, posting, or sharing negative, harmful, false, or mean content about someone else. It can include sharing personal or private information about someone else causing embarrassment or humiliation. Some cyberbullying crosses the line into unlawful or criminal behavior.
The most common places where cyberbullying occurs are:
Social Media, such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Tik Tok
Text messaging and messaging apps on mobile or tablet devices
Instant messaging, direct messaging, and online chatting over the internet
Online forums, chat rooms, and message boards, such as Reddit
Email
Online gaming communities
Thank you for wearing Orange on Monday, October 21 to show that we are united and inclusive! Together we will take a stand against bullying!
