KINGS RESPONSE AND REFLECTION TO BULLYING
KINGS RESPONSE AND REFLECTION TO BULLYING
Bullying is a serious problem that we have been faceting for years now. Schools all over the world are not recognizing all the damage being done to students and their educations. Bullying has been a problem for years and the only safe place students could escape everything is home. Since the evolution of technology, bullies have used technology and social media platforms to their advantage. Everyday new students are getting bullied, hurting themselves, and sometimes committing suicide. It’s important that schools stop this cycle because Childrens educations are decreasing at a very fast steady rate.
king’s junior high has done a great job in trying to reduce bullying. Kings junior high has a class called digital citizenship. This class informs the school’s students about the dangers and how to be safe online. The class goes through how to know what an online scam is and how to prevent hackers from breaking into your personal information. The class has the students write blogs on the information you had learned throughout the class. This class raises awareness on school bullying and cyberbullying. The class shows how we can prevent doing this to others and how to stop bullying if we see it.
However, Kings junior high students aren’t the only students on campus learning about online safety. Elementary students actively have teachers and other online safety executives come in and talk about online safety. Kings has programs in high school where the school has police officers come in and talk about examples of digital citizenship and people’s identities being stolen. Kings has had a guest speaker talk during a chapel about some of the students accounts and what information he could gather just from their profiles. He showed some of the student’s accounts and pointed out what is dangerous to have on the internet.
At a young age as low as kindergarten, kings have been teaching children effects on what you keep on the internet stays there forever. Kings teachers 4th and 5th graders how to use digital sites and promotes good digital citizenship. Teachers let students know that there will be consequences of cyber bulling on the devices they have been granted at school. Kings schools does however want to expand this program to lower ages so that they can be trained to have good digital citizenship.

In the video a kid was being bullied by fellow classmates at a burger king. In the video the real customers didn’t do anything to help the actor (they didn’t know it was an actor). Since they didn’t do anything about it the workers smashed the customers hamburgers to represent bullying. The customers were obviously upset and when the workers asked if they would report someone who did this to the burger if they saw it happen with their own eyes. All the customers said yes, but yet none of them reported the junior high students’ case or even helped him. Overall, only 12% of customers tried to help the student.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
