Opening Lines- Bullying is something that everyone becomes more aware of as they enter school and interact with other people, whether it is children or teens. I came into high school as a very naïve girl and I had no idea what kind of abuse other students took from their peers. High school has made me aware of the negative interactions that many have experienced throughout their life. Preview Statement- All types of bullying take a toll on a person, it can be physical, verbal, indirect or cyber abuse. These types of bullying all have negative effects on an individual and a lot of the times, these methods of abuse are overlooked. Reason for Listening- It’s painful to experience or watch a person being destroyed by the insecurities of others. If you or someone you know is going through this abuse, it is easy to relate. When a daughter or son comes home to a parent in tears or a sibling isn’t acting themselves or a friend starts to hate themselves, all because of the negative influence of another person, you hurt for them. How can you not? Sometimes it’s hard to realize the effect bullying can have on someone until it happens to someone you love. I specifically chose this topic to inform the students and parents that aren’t aware of what can be going on with their child or friends. Body Part One –What is Bullying? ing Information (In note, sentence fragments and phrases, should not be written in paragraph form.) 1. Types of bullying - Cyber, Verbal, Physical, Indirect 2. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose. 3. It is a power imbalance – thinking you are above someone and able to control a person and damage them mentally and physically 4. Effects of bullying – depression, low self-esteem, health problems, poor grades, suicidal thoughts 5. School effects - school develops an environment of fear and disrespect, students have difficulty learning, students dislike school, students perceive that teachers and staff have little control and don’t care about them.

Part Two- Prevention ing Information (In note, sentence fragments and phrases, should not be written in paragraph form.) 1. Create POLICIES and RULES 2. Mission statement - stating positive intentions and goals for students 3. Student Bill of Rights – rights that we have as students 4. Reporting system – establishes consequences, easy, private and confidential reporting 5. Pay attention, don’t ignore a situation, deal with students individually, LISTEN and don’t PRE JUDGE Part Three – Statistics 1. Over 3.2 million students are bullied each year 2. 160,000 Teens skip school every day due to bullying 3. 71% of students report incidents of bullying as a problem at their school 4. These statistics aren’t just random numbers laid out on a board. They should mean something to everyone. The victims included in these statistics could be teens that you know, or students that you have taught, or maybe your own child that you love so much. Looking at these statistics and realizing what they really mean inspired me to create a video of some pretty inspiring people and I trust that you will love them just as much as I do by the time you are done watching. Part Three- Personal Conviction - short children’s video ing Information (In note, sentence fragments and phrases, should not be written in paragraph form.) 1. Short video of children on the topic of bulling 2. I wanted to make this video to remind people how innocent and harmless every child starts out 3. To picture one of these children getting bullied is heart breaking, and it can make people realize how terrible bullying is and that bullying one of these kids is no different than bullying teens my age. 4. We need to stop this because as I see these innocent little hearts as they are filmed on the topic of bullying it’s painful to realize that according to the statistics and what they show, that many of these children could potentially be bullied in the future. Part Four- Personal Conviction ing Information (In note, sentence fragments and phrases, should not be written in paragraph form.) 1. I chose this topic to address the issue of bullying I think they are very much overlooked at this point in high school 2. High school is supposed to be something a student learns and grows from, however it shouldn’t be a painful experience. 3. I was never a huge victim of bullying, I learned that with high school comes the sometimes hurtful names, stereotypes, and labels. 4. I think every student comes face to face with a situation like this, I know that it would be hurtful to me at first, which is why I can’t imagine what victims of harsher bullying feel like. Conclusion- This may be written in paragraph form. to leave your with optimal eye during your conclusion.

Bullying does take place frequently in a variety of ways. Whether the abuse occurs physically, verbally, indirectly, or in a cyber-attack, bullying can effect even the strongest of people. However, to let those cruel words, those shoves and punches, those mean texts and hurtful tweets define you as a person, is just allowing them to destroy you. Once you give in to the lies and the abuse, it’s simple, you have officially lost. “What you focus on becomes reality. Everybody carries anger inside. But also happiness. Those who focus on anger will always be angry. Those who focus on happiness will-” ― Ben Mikaelsen, Touching Spirit Bear . With that, if there was one

piece of advice I could give to the victims of a bully, it would be that life will get better. Work Cited: MLA Format "Set Policies & Rules." Set Policies & Rules. N.p., n.d. Web. 15 Apr. 2015.
