BEING A TEACHER....

BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

  2. The problem that affects in teenagers nowadays is the integration in other groups or social circles. In spite of that everyone, specially the adults, who think it's easy for the childreens and teenagers to make friends quickly. It is very important, for avout doings as the of article, that parents pay attention to how their children be have and what they do. We should set a climate of confidence inside the family between adults and teenagers. so that we can notice if a case of bullying is taking place.
    On the other hand, the teachers have to be set of the "hard feelings" which may be between peers

  3. I have just the text, it is very interesting because it is a problem that you can hear more and more frequently in ous society.
    I think that this case is very serious but in my opinion stop it and violent people should be captured.
    There are other different ways to resolve the problem.

  4. This case of bullying has been very commented in social networks like “twitter”. When I saw the notice I felt very sad and indignant because nobody deserves to be treaty like Amanda Todd.
    Amanda was a girl who made a mistake in social networks because she has let herself be manipulated by her friends that told her that she was beautiful, perfect… But was necessary that unknown person harass her?
    Unfortunately, bullying is present in everyday life of many teenagers around the world. I think adolescence is a phase very complicated in our lives because teenagers are very easy to manipulate, they usually ignore his parents and pay attention to his friends. I hope society change and people have personality to do they want.

  5. I have watched the video which Amanda posted on You Tube telling her story and I was shocked and had goose pimples all over the body. How can people be so evil? She made a mistake on a social network, that’s right, but she repented and tried to start again in a new school in a new town and it was like if her mistake had been chasing her everywhere she was going. Bulling is still a big problem, especially in schools, and the worst thing is that people don’t notice it or don’t think it’s an important issue. Bulling often starts with “kid stuff” which grows into a serious problem and I think there are many people who suffer from these kinds of problems and they don’t tell anybody because they feel ashamed. If we had a look closely, we would see more bulling victims than we think there are.

  8. I think bullying is one of the most extended problems all over the world. It is not among the most important problems, as well as hunger, poverty or global warming, but I think this one is a little bit undervalued just because not so many people talk about it. The truth is many more people suffer from bullying than we think but most of them don't report or even tell anyone because of the shame they feel of being a victim. I have watched the entire video of Amanda Todd and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. There is no way to make me understand how people can be so cruel to make an innocent girl kill herself. Everybody says Amanda made a mistake, but I don't think so. I think if Amanda wanted to show herself to an unknown man, she had the right to do it. It was that man, who had no right to fool Amanda. I can't understand what people would be thinking about not help this girl when she even left a video telling her whole story. Bullying is a current problem which many of us ignore, just because there are a few serious cases of bullying which are known, and they tell about ordinary people. However, more and more celebrities are bringing out their experiences at school, where they suffered from bullying. For example, Stefani Germanotta, better known as Lady Gaga, was harassed in the High School. She hadn't got any friends and her classmates hurt her in every way they could. But she stayed strong, she got over it, and now she has created the Born This Way Foundation, an organization to support and help people who suffer from bullying, to make them know they are not alone. It's unbearable to let people end their own lives because of problems like this.

  10. Many people think that bullying is an issue that only happens in faraway places, but more and more bullying is getting popular in schools and colleges. Specifically, Amanda Todd 's case has left me shocked. I saw her video and the truth is I never thought that a 15 year old girl could live so bitterly and that she could kill herself just after asking for help.
    I think this girl didn’t do anything wrong when she went to meet another guy to try to rebuild her life and could live without anxiety. This girl was also criticized in a video where people commented that even when you were going to die, it was important to be beautiful, because another boy suffered from a similar bullying case and nobody would listen to him.
    I think it's a pity that there are such evil people that are able to do much damage, and the truth is although this girl tried to rebuild her life and forget her past, she couldn't cope with the pressure and she died as a victim of one of the many cases of bullying unknown to us.

  11. I was very impressed when I watch the Amanda's video. Amanda uploaded this video to Youtube a month before her death and almost nobody knew it. If people had known it, Amanda wouldn't have died. This girl made a mistake in a social networks, Facebook, and nobody forgave her. This it was because a lot of people in her country knew the case of Amanda and although she changed school, city and friends, they continued harassing and insulting her until that she committed suicide.

    The bullying is a very serious problem that nowadays many teenagers suffer, especially in their schools. I think that parents and teachers should help these adolescents who suffer it and inform them of the dangers of the Internet and social networks.

  12. Well I think it's very absurd to do those things, I hate the people who do this kind of things, because everybody is equal and nobody can't make other people unhappy.

    People sometimes die because of these horrible people that want them to do what they want.They go for the weakest in the class,the school or anywhere, it is unforgivable, if they did it to me or anybody I know, I would kill them literally, because they make people's life unbearable,victims fight to survive and they are scared all the time, and the worst thing of everything is that they can't protect themselves, because if they say to the world what happen,the only thing they get is their own death, like Amanda.

    I can't understand how the people who do this kind of things can sleep at night, if I were them,I couldn't sleep, I would be dreaming with the person I killed and I would get crazy, I'm sure.

    We don't have to give very importance to childhood of famous, I'm sorry for them and their problems, but they are persons,like anybody and if they have problems with bullying is the same like anybody and not for be famous it has more importance than other people.

  14. Bullying is a problem that is very usual among teenagers nowadays, I think people should be more concerned about this awful practice, which should be eradicated as it is one the big problems of society as well as poverty, global warning, homelessness...

    What could we do to end this? We must stop judging people and help those one who are alone to get into society, we should do an exercise of empathy to make the world better. If everybody proceeded that way, bullying would be eradicated.

    The case of Amanda is so creepy, I don't know how a person can be so evil to destroy the life of a teenager and I don't know how her friends could leave her either. Finally, she ended with her life. I think this could have been avoided if authorities had been more involved in the case.

    STOP BULLYING!

  18. Bullying is an English word that comes from "bull". It is when one child teases another child. Although it has always existed, it is now a real problem in Spain and in other countries too.
    Children sometimes insult, tease and hit other children in schools an outside schools. We sometimes think that it is normal, but it is bullying, a very serious crime. I have watched on the news that manyh children die or suicide because of this, so, we must doo something.
    Governments should create very strict laws to stop this!!! Teachers must have more authority too. We are all equal... so stop bullying!

  19. Bullying is a pattern of agressive behaviour meant to hurt or cause discomfort to other person. Bullies always have more power than victims. Their power comes from physical size, strengh, status, etc.

    There are many roles that kids can play. Kids can bully others, they can be bullied, or they may witness bulling. When kids are involved in bulling, they often play more than one role. It's important to understand the several roles that kids play in order to effectively prevent and respond to bullying.

    There are some specific types of bullying:
    -Verbal or written abuse.
    -Violence.
    -Sexual harassment.
    -Homophobia.
    -Discrimination including radical discrimination.
    -Cyberbulling.

    When a person is bullied, he doesn't say nothing neither to their parents nor their friends.

    I think it's a grave problem. They should tell it!

    STOP BULLING !!!

  20. I've never seen a case of bullyng but the objetive of the people who make buying is to make life impossible for a particular person, I think that people who have ever do buying, should suffer more than they have to suffer

    People who have ever do buying should go to a place where people could help them psychologically, such as a psychologist, so he could help them and would be a very effective method

  22. The bullying is a real problem. The people leave alone else. Normally the bullying pass in the school when a people is new in the school or for other problems: Be low,fat,or any disability.
    I have a friend in Motroi tell me in his class, all class doing bullying. Always the people leave alone to this people because he have a problem in the face. The teachers has spoken with theirs and some people tell with he. Even so there are people don't speak with this people. I think he must speak with he for try doing friends.
    The people doing bullying must think how bad it pass the people who suffer. I think must solve this problem yet, because the people pass very bad. And I say: STOP BULLYING!!!!!!!

  23. Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Both kids who are bullied and who bully others may have serious, lasting problems.

    Bullying is very common in the school. Shy children are often affected by other aggressive children. The children or teenagers who suffer bullying don’t want go to school or relate to people because they think everybody will do the same. It is a pity that in the schools around of the world there children who are afraid of their classmates.

    This problem should be resolved since there are millions of children who are suffering. I know who feel this people because I passed for something similar. I was about thirteen, my classmates of this year don’t respect anyone and they were all day, everyday insulting everyone! I felt miserable like all my classmates, even the teachers was jaded.

    From my point of view, this is a problem which should reach solution because it is a problem that occurs in the entire world. I think, the schools should create departments specialized in these types of problems.

  24. The bullying, I think that is a big problem for students, I also think that they should not ask for help to reach such extreme cases like this girl, because no one should be insulted, intimidated or harassed. Many people do it to vent, pulling down the self esteem to a weaker person subiendosela themselves, not what I see right.

    People suffering bullying has to ask for help as soon as possible, before it's too late.Also friends of those who suffer bullying if they see it go bad should help parents and contact that person.

    The story of this girl touched me a lot, but it also teaches you that you must not trust strangers or give your personal information online as they do not know who is the estasdando and can be very dangerous.

    People sometimes behaves badly and I think we should teach a lesson to every person who suffers bullying. They would also have to learn to live with other people to accept them as they are.
    We all have problems and we have to face them and when you need help ask for it, because it means that we can not alone and need the support of others to leave them.

    I had a friend who suffered harassment, but has already passed that stage and hopefully will not happen again.
    For all is solution. Paola Quirós Pozo 3B

  25. The cases of bullying ,as usual, of the students. In the school there is too many cases of this. People who suffering bullying should ask a proffesionals what they should do, but as normal that they don't do it. I think I don't know cases of bullying but if you have a friend that have this problem you should give advices him/her.

    The bullying can be a fisical and psychologica: insults, boost... I think the worts is a psychologica because a fisical can be recover but the psychologica must pass years or not month for this recover.

    For this not pass should be a lessons for explain what tehy should do if they have this problems or other people, and say them they mustn't do it because this can be a serious problem until arrive to suicide. For example recently a girl to suidice bacause a boy from the same high school said her, she give he some money i don't know for what he insults her. Her parents report him and now he move a other high school.

    So in conclusion you don't do bullying in other person and if this pass for your mind, you think it two times and you put in the place that the person who's you in beginning want do that.
    STOP BULLYING!!! (-_-)

  26. This subject-matter is very common in the school and in internet.
    The bully are persons losers, that they need to feel better than others, they are people aggressive. When the bully do bullying to a person, the others move away to him for fear to they do bullying too.
    Therefore the people suffering bullying feel lonely.
    Even so they have to say it to someone who can help them.

    You have to be strong, Not serrender.Be brabe

  27. School bullying is a type of bullying that occurs in an educational setting. Bullying can be physical, sexual, verbal or emotional in nature.
    The long-term effects of school bullying are numerous, and can include sensitivity, anxiety, and depression.
    Even though there are some bullying actions that are considered criminal, bullying itself is not illegal. There are four basic types of abuse, among them is cyber-bullying, that is becoming the most common type of abuse.

  28. Most people know that bullying is wrong. Calling someone names has absolutely no beneficial purpose. Moreover, hitting someone makes a bully feel good in the moment while doing permanent damage to the person being victimized. With the Internet, people now have even more opportunities to bully through cyberbullying. This includes sending crude pictures, posting fake web pages, or tweeting slanderous messages. Cyberbullying has subsequently led to a rise in a completely new kind of bullying.

    One of the effects of bullying is that it can change the victim’s personality. It can cause people who are normally confident and happy to become self-conscious, shy, and unsure. Additionally, victims of bullying may also become sad or depressed. Their confidence might completely disappear, keeping them from trying new things or trusting people.

    Despite all the negative effects of bullying, there are even far more serious consequences. People who have been bullied sometimes become so upset, scared, or depressed that they see no worth in themselves and no way out of their torment. There have been countless reports over the past few years of students committing suicide because they were bullied.

    Aside from its long-term effects, some consequences of bullying can be seen and felt immediately. When one child calls another child names, the victim might cry and a bruise might appear after a punch to the arm. However, some effects of bullying are not always obvious to the naked eye. The results of bullying might grow and appear over time, damaging a person in profound ways for the long term. There are so many effects of bullying that they are impossible to count or predict. This is why it is so important to stop bullying.

  30. Everyone knows the word bullying, it is a problem which affects around the world unfortunately. It's a big problem which takes place in schools and affects children. This problem has caused death to different people like the death of Amanda Todd, who was 15 years old, She committed suicide because of internet sexual explotation and bullying by her peers.

    Bullying is physical and psychological damage by another, or a group of them in shools. People insult and they don't know the damage they can cause. People who suffer bullying should go to a specialist for help them and talk with their parents and teachers to solve the problem. Another type of bulliyng is the cyber bulling which is on internet.

    From my point of view bullying is a serious problem that affects many people and we should change. Some people suffer and they don't say anything and this has to change. Everyone should have someone to help them. We must stop bullying

  32. The word bullying is not a nuisance, many people suffer this , and is a horrible experience. I think that the people do bullying to attract other people's attention, but they don't really know the damage that they do to the person they are doing bullying. In my opinion, the worst kind of bullying is the homophobic bullying, because the person is scared to express his or her opinion and they have to live with someone that they don´t like, but luckily there aren't many cases of this kind of bullying. Another bullying that is very bad, is the one where they laugh about your body, because probably this may affect how this person eats and if this doesn´t work, they can have depression or they just don't want to go out so that nobody. As well, another kind of horrible bullying is the one where they laugh about the way they pronounce some words, for example, many people can´t pronounce the letter R.
