Q10 and Q3

Q10 What can we do for victims?
What to do when you see bullying happpening is to let teachers , parents principal know your classmate is bullied. No matter how snall you think it is, letting them know is always right to do. Both bullies and victims need help, so ask any adults you can trust to help them out. Do not try to get fhysical with the bullies. violence will never resolve the problem.

Q3How do we create the environment free from bullying?
Invite someone who looks lonely or that you have seen being bullied to sit with you at lunch, study with you in the library, or habg out after school. And let them know that you have their back if they need help.

NGO group

I found a NGO group, Multilingual Education Research Institute.
Bullying is recognized as a serious problem affecting Japanese children. But non-Japanese children and their parents who are also harassed can have a hard time finding practical advice in their native language. They are doing Izime Zero campaign and it provides a number of services including telephone hot line and a web page with advice in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Japanese.

Q12


12.Do you think the way boys and girls bully someone is different? Why?


A. Girls bully by social and complicated ways. Though boys bully directly by violence or fights, girls bully by the following ways; Rumour-spreading, writing graffiti about their victims, alienating them from their classmates and the use of email and instant messaging... Girls do harm to you by these nasty ways because they are intelligent. They bully by the brain.

Answer to Q8


8.Do you know what effect and influence happens if someone is bullied? What?

A. Bullying causes so much influence that a big murder could even happen. It's not the bully but the victim that makes the disaster; in return for the torment. Just like this, there seem to be a lot of outcomes that might be contrary to what we expect them to be. Generally, we don't predict that the victim might resist against the bully by the means of slaughter. This may show our lack of imagination about how hard the victims are feeling.

Q5 and 7

Q5what is the reason of bullying?


  • lack of communication

  • desire fore power

  • attempts at increasing self conception

  • desire for self aggrandizement

  • can't control their mind

Children tend to pick on someone who seems emotionally or physically weaker, or acts and appears different in someway. In addition, we have to think about the traits of Japanese society. It is well known that Japanese society is homogeneous. People tend to consider that being similar to each other is a virtue and gives a sense of relief or safety. People try to eliminate people who are different from them to protect themselves.

Q7How much do Internet or cellphones affect bullying?


It can have more devastating and longer-lasting effects. It's rapidly becoming a major problem. The problem is people write nasty things on blogs or websites anonymously, so we can't know who wrote them. The long term cyber bullying is greater than traditional bullying.

Q1 and 14

Q1What is the difference between bullying and just joke?
according to this website, bullying is when someone keeps doing or saying things to power over another person. For instance, saying or writing nasty thing about them, leaving them out of activities, ignoring, threatening. But any website says that dividing line between bullying and joking is ambiguous. Sometimes kids torment others because they may think their behavior is normal and it's the same thing as everyone regularly gets angry, shout. Or they may think they are just joking, but I think if the person felt uncomfortable and suffered from the interaction(though bullies think it's just joke or fun), it's bullying.

Q14How do bullying affect victims ?


  • depression

  • low-self esteem

  • suicidal thoughts

  • health problems

  • poor grade

Q9 and 12

Q9Do outlookers have also responsivility of bullying?

It is described students involved or witnessing a bullying situation as having roles in the Bullying Circle. A: students who bully B: followers or henchmen(positive toward the bullying and take an active part, but don't play a lead role) C: supporters or passive bullies(actively and openly support the bulling by laughter or calling attention to the situation, but they don't join in) D: passive supporters or possible bullies(they like the bullying but do not show out the sign of support) E: disengaged out lookers( dislike the bullying and think they should help but do nothing) F: defenders(they dislike the bullying and help or try to help). I think most people could be F, but they also have the responsibility? according to the website, doing nothing means they give permission to continue it. I think typically they worry that they will make the situation worse or risk becoming the next victim. But they will have regal responsibility to stop the bullying because it is considered bullies and out lookers are both equally to blame if the bullying leaded to suicide.

Good site and bad site

http://kidshealth.org/
This site is for children's health and development, and you can find a lot of useful information on this website. The reason why I thought this is a good site is the articles are written from each points of view, parents, kids, and teens. It gives not only just information but also tells us solution strategies.

http://alllooksame.com/?p=530
This site is about why Japanese corporate hazing is so common in Japan. It says why this happen is that it comes from common misunderstanding of methods used in achieving enlightenment in Zen Buddhism. But I couldn't understand clearly why it's related to bullying. It also says a zen master treats his disciples in a manner that comes across as abusive, so the popular culture of Japan interprets this as a sign that abuse leads to enlight. Of course most of the Japanese people are Buddhist, but not pious Buddhist. I don't know where did the writer get the evidence, so I thought it's untrustworthy.

"Obamas Focus on Antibullying Efforts"Jackie Calmes. March 10, 2011.

Perspectives from bullied people and how to deal with it

The bullied people say "the bullying people is bad, not our blame". You could say that. But the feature that people who are bullied have in common is mostly a lack of confidence or reluctance to claim. They share the same characteristic of acting passively. So when you are picked on by someone, it's the proof that you can't resist against him with words.

Ironically, bullied people misunderstand the reason why they are provided with hardships. They only think their bodies are quite small, so they feel they can't win others in fight. However, it is almost always the truth that giving back any strong word can stop people from considering you a weak person without fighting. If you make it a rule, it could be a prevention of bullying from those people.

perspective from people who bullies others

This could part be an answer to my Q2.

 People pick on someone for many reasons. The most reasons why they might do it are that he or she looks weak in fight, and that the way he or she behaves is strange and different from theirs. It seems that if you look small and are likely to have less power than someone, he wants to show that he's stronger than you, and shows it by action. You feel uncomfortable and actually hurt in the body. But he says that he does it not for harassment, but for his mere curiosity and he doesn't feel sorry at all.
 Another reason for bullying is that people pick on someone to remove their stress. As the days go on, they feel tired and fed up of everything, so they do it to relieve their mind like fighting video games. They think of you as an enemy so they kick and punch you in the mind and trunk.

Well, I THINK that people are only justifying the bullying by saying they have exact reasons to do it.
They don't stand in your place and consider your feeling, I GUESS.

yahoo groups

I decided to join a yahoo group whose topic I'm assigned to do. Here is the page.
I'm so sorry to show you that I'm not ready to join it, because the moderator hasn't allowed me to enter the page yet.
The reason why I chose this page is that this group is based on an official homepage which is created to discuss bullying problems. I felt reliable when I finished reading the site's outline. Specifically, it was designed not only to talk about the topics of bullying but also to make efforts to prevent, resolve and eliminate the bullying issues.

When I receive the acceptance from the site's boss, I'll make it quick to put more details here so please wait until he gives me OK.
