Who ever came up with the phrase “Sticks and stones can hurt my bones but words can never hurt me” must never have had someone call them names or make fun of them.
The first type of bullying is called, Name-calling or Teasing, these are forms of verbal bullying. Name-calling was the most prevalent form of bullying identified in many studies. “When someone kicks or punches us it hurts us on the outside, while when someone teases us or calls us names, it hurts us on the inside.” (Wikipedia). In many classrooms teasing and name-calling are the most common forms of bullying. Unfortunately, because they don’t leave scratches or bruises and often happen when there are no adults around, they can go unnoticed by parents or teachers

.
Exclusion, it is another type of bullying, this is when a person or a group of people live someone out, I mean, when this group of people won’t let play someone with them, join a group activity or will invite everyone to come to a party or take part in a game except for one person on purpose.
Physical Bullying, some kids not only tease others or exclude others; they can also be physically abusive. Kicking, punching, pinching, pushing are all forms of physical bullying. It is never okay to hurt someone physically even if they have hurt you. While it can be very tempting to hit someone if they have hurt you in some way, this is not going to make you feel better or solve the problem. Being physically bullied is incredibly scary for a victim and puts them at great risk. “Many children have been seriously injured by physical bullying. Often, the kids doing this end up hurting victims more than they meant to. In some cases, victims have been killed accidentally” (Students).

Cyber-bullying is bullying that takes place on the internet or with cell phones. It can take the form of many of the above forms of bullying, the only difference is instead of happening face-to-face, it takes place on-line via websites, chat-rooms or text-messaging. “The cyber-bully may send the victim threatening emails, take pictures or video of them and post them on-line or say mean things about the victim in a chat-room.”(Education). While all forms of bullying are very hurtful and embarrassing for the victim, cyber-bullying can be especially painful because of how many people may see the photos, videos, name-calling or teasing

1st Post. Bullies description.
Understanding bullies is very important because bulies are the main aggressors in our society. Different studies point to males as the main aggressors, while others point to the females as protagonists of events that use more subtle psychological elements in their intimidation.
Depending on the personality and behavior of each individual it can easily be deduced whether or not a person is a bully. The attacker is characterized by impulsive and aggressive temperament with poor social skills to communicate and negotiate their wishes. This kind of person tends to lack empathy for the feelings of the victim. This type usually feels very little guilt for his/her actions
· Bullies can have several consequences that affect the bully later in life.
Yooth bullying may lead the offender learning about how to achieve goals. “As an adult, the bully might use the same techniques. This could put the bully on the threshold of criminal behavior.” (Convivencia sin violencia)
The phenomenon of bullying is something common between all schools, with no difference in ethnicity, urban or rural, private or public schools, boys or girls. Lack of no anger management and a high level of hostility makes relationships with others a source of conflict and aggression.

second post:School´s can stop bullying
As a culture we need to focus more on the bullying problem. All children pass almost half their day in school and this is the place where bullying take place, so for that reason it is important that school´s do something to stop bullying.
School must stop bullying
Bullying is huge problem in schools, and schools need to have programs in place to successfully stop it. Bullying is not a phase that kids go through; it is not just a minor problem. It absolutely does interfere with learning and with emotional well-being. In fact, it can make for long-term emotional concerns.
Schools must do the following things to combat bullying:
“challenging all bullying behaviour
befriending younger children
talking about bullying
Or, by taking part in your schools' anti-bullying activities such as:
acting in plays
designing posters
carrying out surveys”
http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2007/06/adviceforyoungpeople
Teachers need to act in a proper way, in order to control this problem.
When children are in school they must talk more with their teachers. So for that reason teachers need to make a special effort to recognize the problem and to do something to stop bullying.
Teachers need to take a special action when they recognize bullying, and they must prepare to do something right away.
Teachers must keep the following things in mind:
“Immediate intervention is crucial.
Clear procedures must take place when a case of bullying is discovered.
Many teachers and schools find it helpful to develop clear statements of what is appropriate behavior in the classroom.
This may be in the form of a school-wide Code of Conduct or in an individual classroom or school statement.
Because victims can be passive and withdrawn, others need to tell when they see bullying.
Good teachers encourage the ‘telling of tales’.
They develop mechanisms to ensure that their pupils can report bad behaviour without fear of retribution or being chastised for telling tales.”
“A good teacher will:
Notice when a pupil is isolated and sad.
Look for the reasons for this.
Not see it as just play-fighting, name-calling, a bit of fun or just part of growing up.
Work with the victim to stop the offending behavior.
Not tell the victim to ignore it, to sort it out them or to hit back.”
http://www.nobully.org.nz/guidelines.htm
Stopping bullying
Bullying hurts kids and kids need to grow in a peaceful environment.
Bullying is commonly seen in schools and not for that reason, it means it is normal, we need to make all things in our hands to stop it, and we do not have to accept it.
“Nobody has the right to hurt other people by hitting them, kicking them, calling them names, spreading rumours about them or by doing anything else which is intended to be upsetting.”
“We sometimes see bullying as an inevitable part of childhood. Yet, according to world-wide research, 50% reductions in rates of bullying are possible. The Stop bullying now intervention is based on the work of many researchers in bullying prevention”.
http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2007/06/adviceforyoungpeople
Bullying is an international problem that affects all schools. There is a remarkable similarity in the incidence of bullying from country to country, school to school. Bullying knows no international boundaries, socio-economic status or ethnic boundaries.
To stop hurtful behavior, we all need to respond when it occurs and take steps to prevent it. The first step is recognizing when there is a problem.
Bullying is not a normal part of growing up but some people think that bullying is normal that some kids are stronger than others and that make the difference but not for that reason those kids need to abuse and hurt other kids.

Being a bully may affect a child’s future.
Saida RodrÃguez
There are reasons why some people bully and this can affect the lives of the bullies. One of the reasons that bullys act as they do is because for them bullying is a way of being popular, or making themselves seem tough. Bullies do it to get attention or to make other people afraid. Others might be jealous of the person they are bullying for different reasons. Sometimes bullies might victims of bullying themselves and think that making other people feels bad will make them feel good.
Bullies are more likely to be involved in ongoing antisocial and criminal behavior, have issues with substance abuse, have low academic achievement, and abuse their spouse or children later in life. In some cases it could be abuse of their partner or if they form a family the abuse can affect the children. This is a very serious problem because the bullying phenomenon can pass from generation to generation.
Bullies usually have their own problems that cause them to pick on others and if they are allowed to bully these problems may never be resolved. Bullies often have friends but these relationships are destructive and only help to grow bullying. The effects of bullying on bullies are usually realized in school and in the home.
A bully who is never taught to deal with his other problems will most likely end up being aggressive and bullying others in their adult life. Bullies are also can be more likely to commit crimes and to be involved in illegal things when they get older. Bullies often end up being problematic persons throughout their lives.
Children need to understand that being a bully is wrong and not positive at all. Children need to feel loved, safe and secure and this will most likely help the child build confidence levels.
Victims of bullying.
Saida Rodriguez.
Parents and teachers can help explain to victims what bullying is, they can also explain the causes of this phenomenon, this would give victims of bullying the confidence and support to stop being victims.
The victims of bullying often are very sensitive children. They aren't able to dodge a conflict with humor .Such children are often serious. They have less skill in fighting and most lose fights. Victims can be selected from any category, although neglected children are often more likely to be victims.
Many victims of bullying are so terrified of a bully that they suffer in silence. This is often because the victim doesn’t have enough confidence to talk with an adult.
Children need to understand that they are free to form their days building friendships, and dreaming about all the possibilities for their lives. Also victims often ordered by bullies to say nothing. In this case the communication with children, parents and teachers is very important.
Victims of bullies tend to be anxious as a result of bullying. It is difficult for many children to speak freely in class. This is a characteristic of timid children. It is important to observe the attitude of children, to see if they have a problem, and know the difference between a victim of bullying and child timid. Many times we think that the victims of bullying are quiet children that are hesitant to defend and protect themselves. This is because sometimes parents protect them a lot and they can not explore the real world. Sometimes the victims of bullying have bad habits that may be difficult for adults to deal with.
The affects of bullying can be seen even after the victims grow up. Victims can have feelings of bitterness, desire for revenge, difficulty trusting people, personal difficulties, fear of new social situations, the taste for being alone, self-esteem problems, and other factors that can negatively affect their lives. In another case bullying toughens victims and prepares them for the real world. It is important to teach children that they can become good people with successful lives if they learn to defend themselves.
