Bullying has always been something that has upset me. At times in my life I think it is safe to say I was mildly bullied; however, I was not bullied to the extent that most victims are. When I become a teacher I, like most teachers, will be dedicated to keeping a keen eye open to bullying. I have received a lot of bullying education starting in middle school and progressing through high school. It amazes me that bullying is still an issue inside and out of school. While I will not have much authority outside of the classroom, I will do everything I can inside the classroom to create a bully free environment. One way to do this is to put the students who I believe are being bullies in the front of the classroom, and the other students in the back of the classroom. This will ensure that the bullies are always facing forward and if they turn around it will be easier to detect. If I am lucky enough to catch a student bullying, I will give them a very strict warning to never do it again or else there will be major consequences. I will also give them a detention and make them write "Bullying is bad" several hundred times on the board. I think this is a good strategy that was once used, and still should be. On the second offence, they will be sent directly to the principle/headmaster to be punished more severely. I will then talk to the student who was bullied and hear it from their perspective. I will try to sympathize with them and make them feel better about what happened. If the student ever needs to talk to someone about it again, I will make sure to tell them I am always available for something of that matter. I believe bullying can be stopped in the schools, and it takes every teacher and administrator to make it happen.
This brochure is original and unique to signify bullying is a very serious threat to students, and it shows how students and faculty can work together to eliminate it.
