I am going to spread this out in parts and hopefully target all of the types of bullying that I can think of. We all know that bullying is picking on another person comes in many forms well this part is going to be about gossiping. I think it is a form of bullying do you? I think it may actually be one of the worst kinds though because it is one of the hardest to stop. Once people start a rumor whether it is true or not people believe it as if it were and the doubt is forever cast that say some random girl was pregnant. Schools try to counter bullying as much as possible and by the time you are ready for college it has thankfully for the most part died down correct? Tell me if I am wrong but by the time a person gets to college they are considered an adult that has better things to do than gossip like a thirteen year old.
However, what are schools to do they cannot stop freedom of speech and even if they tried it is nearly impossible to control everyone at all times. Should schools make more policies against gossiping? Should they not care at all because as kids grow up some schools tend to take the policy that they are growing up they should learn how to deal with their own problems. Also there is always the harder problem of if it goes off school grounds does the school still have the authority to try to limit bullying if it is obviously affecting the student. I think schools should take a greater hand in stopping bullying but there are just so many factors to it. But they should try their hardest because it does affect the student their environment can often determine how well they work and the kind of education they get in school. But what can schools do what policies if any can they create to help end bullying? What are your thoughts, ideas, and opinions?




People don't really like it when you post a ton of things in a row like this.
