We have all had a bully at some point in our lifetime, our book defines bullying as "a complex form of aggression in which one child, the bully, routinely aggresses against one or more habitual victims." (Bee, 259). With advances in technology and social media, we now have the cyber bullying epidemic upon us. A study conducted by a Michigan State University criminologist Thomas Holt says "Children who are bullied online or by mobile phone are just as likely to skip school or consider suicide as kids who are physically bullied," (Thomas Holt). According to the study, it would appear cyber bullying has an even greater effect on children than physical, the study shows that 22% of kids who were physically abused had suicidal thoughts while kids who were bullied online or text message had suicidal thoughts ranged between 28-29% of children studied, (Thomas Holt). Our book says that bullies are more likely to not accept responsibility for the actions and see that negative consequences are unjust (Bee, 259). So who is take responsibility for the bully then? In my opinion the parent, if we show our children at a young age that bullying is wrong and to treat others with respect maybe we can decrease the percentage of kids who have suicidal thoughts and begin making this world a safer place to live.
