I found another resource from ABC News: What Would You Do? Watch this amazing video. I know the issue is girls being bullies, but there is so much more going on here. The reactions of the bystanders says a lot about the problem of what to do when you see bullying. One of the issues we discussed was that the silent acceptance of bystanders is a major motivator for the bully to continue their torment. If kids and adults had the courage to stand up to the bully, would there be any bullying? Wouldn't all bullies stand along?
I know there is a lot here, but what do you think? Is girl bullying worse than boys? Do some research. Respond by stating what you think and try to include an article or blog that supports your opinion.
-Mr. Kohl
I think girl bullying is worse because it causes more drama and girls start to cry and some girls find enjoyment in starting drama.
ReplyDeleteboy bullying is with violence though so i think that girl and boy bullying is equal its just that girls bully in a different way.
DeleteBut Lucas boy bullying happens to its not just girls.I agree with eden,boy bullying is vilonence and is just as bad.
DeleteBut Eden and Amara don't you think girls are more of a problem because if girls start to bully more then boys now a days think how sad the world would be if both girls and boys start to bully equally that would make up about 1/2 of the world population being bullied each day.
DeleteI dont think this should be happening because 1 bullying is alegal in most states and 2 girls are more emotional and weeker in a way but if it leads to fist fights a guy cant hit back and I think parents need to put a stop to this ASAP!
ReplyDeleteI think that boy bulling is wores because they sometimes get pysical and that means that the victim could get hurt.
ReplyDeleteIsn't emotional pain just as bad? Most of the suicides caused by bullying is more about emotions, not a fistfight.
DeleteI agree with Mr.kohl emotional pain is just as bad because you can turn the whole day around for a person isn't that just as physical bullying. Plus people are starting to be suicidal because of just plain out bullying.
Deletegood point mr.kohl. i think that people should be more vigilent becouse i have seen people that thaught about suicideand near it and they LOOKED hurt, i just dont understand how people dont notice! they looked SICK, and vary gloomy.
DeleteGirl bullying is worse because girls need to get their friends involed in it
ReplyDeleteThat isn't entirely true sometimes it is just influence.
DeleteI think girls bullie more because they are looking for popularity and collness. On they other hand, boy's are not bullies for that. They think it is fun to bully, and to watch the kids cry.

ReplyDeleteI think girl bulling is worse because, there is more "Drama", which a lot of the time has crying.Boys and their bulling is less worse than girls bulling because after it happened they don't really care.
DeleteEli what if a boy gets bullied and they commit suicide is that forgetting.
DeleteI agree with Eli, after a boy gets bullied he kinds of gets past it and gets on with his life.
DeleteI agree with Lucas, girl bullying is worse because girls are much more emotional. Also, girls can take it to a whole new level. I think that parents should take action in bullying instead of just letting their kids get bullied or bully others. If a child is bullying, their parents should know about it and try to stop it.
ReplyDeleteParents dont do anything. They sit arround giving you stupid strategies to avoid bullying. They dont work. It is the same with counsolars; there pointless. The school wastes money on them. They should say "You need to stand up to them. Show them what your made of". It was like that with both of me elementry counsolars.
Deleteyes, and when the parents decied to step up it is to late, this happen in the article, the dad on the bus came becouse he was done with it! why did he not take action before!!??!!
DeleteI agree with you Lucas that some girls bullying can be worse but i still feel that boys bullying can be just as bad. I disagree with you on that ALL girl find enjoyment in starting drama.
ReplyDeletekennedy that is true but girls pride themselves socily but guys don't.
ReplyDeleteI wish you would elaborate on this. I think your point is interesting, but I think a lot of people would have something to say about it.
DeleteReally the boys that bullied when I was in elementary school took pride in it.
DeleteI think that girl bullying is worse because the emotional effects last for aa long time. I also think that girl bullying is more sofisticated because of the tactics they use to get into their victims minds
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that girls kept on bullying the girl even how many grown ups stepped in.
ReplyDeleteboys have more of a problem because they hit and kick. And girls mostly hurt emotionally.
ReplyDeleteI think that boys and girls are both the same when it comes to bullying because they can both take it to as high a level as they want. Though boys and girls have different stragities they can still be as mean as they want. But what hurts more, being hurt on the outside or the inside.
ReplyDeleteThe outside and inside are the same because you can have marks on the outside and have feelings hurt on the inside and show that feeling on the outside so to me it doesn't matter because you get hurt on the inside and the outside.
DeleteThat's true.but what if a boy a girl started bulling someone Together on one person.
ReplyDeleteWell that probably means the bullies are friends and they both hate that person.
DeleteI agree with Baylee because they can take it to a other level. Baylee's comment make me think a lot. It does hurt on the inside AND the ouside!
ReplyDeletei think that the onley reason why people are bulling is thy were or are getting bullied
ReplyDeleteDid anyone look up another article or blog. I thought the video was very powerful here. I'm curious what you all think. Why didn't men step in? What does it say about gender differences?
ReplyDeletewich is there more of boy or girl bullies
ReplyDeleteLook it up!! That is a great question. Now find an answer.
Deleteprobably Girls because they have more friends when their friends make them mad that girl starts to bully them.
DeleteI think alot of people are getting bullied because they think that everybody is mean to them so they try too blend in by being meaner and meaner then the start to get followers so they get power over the people that were being mean before.
ReplyDeleteI think it depends on what the girl or boy is being bullied on. sometimes if a boy is being bullied it will lead to fistfights. normally a girl being bullied is just drama and doesnt lead to a fistfight. Girls just normally gather up other girls and single another girl out and bully her. When it comes to saying herttful things to girls they are a lot weaker then boys, if a girl says to another girl something about their weight, they will start to become self concious.
ReplyDeletei read an article like this for current events and it is much like this article. it shows the differences between how boys and girls bullying are different. i think think it is very important to know that even though the boys kind of bullying seems so much worse than the girls, they are equally hurtful.
ReplyDeleteMy opinon is that boys are more physial when it comes to bullying but girls are still as affective. Ether way they still cause the same feeling to the victims. I think that boys would pick on girls more because of the belive that girls are weeker than boy, but thats not always true.
ReplyDeleteGirls seem to be more dramatic so they might take more drastic measures.But boys seem to be more vilant. So wen you think about it each gender has their own "strengths" for bullying.
ReplyDeleteHello? Did you all watch the video? I know they were actors, but holy cow! How come so many people didn't stop? Why only women? Does that have something to do with gender differences as well. Are guys more accepting of bullying?
ReplyDeleteI think the men don't understand how emotional this bullying can be. If there was a fight a man would step in.
ReplyDeleteI think I want to go back and watch the old video of the boys fighting. I'm curious how it is different.
DeleteI think girl bullying is worse than boy bullying because even though you get phisically hurt with boy bullying, the pain is only temporary. The pain from being hurt emotionally can stay with you and effect your life for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI think girl bullying can cause more people to commit suicide because once boys are done fighting and bullying its over but when girls are done it stays with them
ReplyDeletei see that the differance is that boys are physical and girls leave emotional scars on other peoples lives like the video explained that woman are more lilkly to stand up to an emotinal bully than a physical bully and men are more lickly to stand up to physical bullying rather than emotional bullying there are diferenses but what would happen if a boy and a girl bully were bulllting somone how would one person stand up to that.
ReplyDeletewhat would happen would that one person only stand up to one of the bullies like if it were a boy they are more phyical a girl is emotional so now lets say that they ae bullying someone and a man walks over wil he get the boy in more trouble than the girl?
I agree whith you greydon because what if there was a boy bully and a girl bully both bullying someone at once what would they be able to do to stop both of them.
