I choose the Bullying subject and the age group is between 10 and 14 years old.
You will need to include the following :
- Statistics on bullying and suicide are alarming !!!!!!
- Some of the early warning signs of suicide may include:
Display of signs of depression, such as permanent sadness, withdrawal, loss of interest in favorite activities, or difficulty sleeping or eating. Speak or show interest in death or dying or engage in hazardous or harmful activities, including reckless behavior, substance abuse, or personal injury.
I will use this to show the behavioral expectations for the chosen age group, I was wondering if I can include the sources of aggression and how it can affect a young child`s cognitive and behavior pattern. In other word, also show the behavior pattern of child who bullies others.
- The family has a real influence on teenagers and young people today. Indeed, it is one of the social instances most present around people aged 12 to 14 for example, and it influences many times our consumption, our lifestyle, and our decisions. We must also add that she is the principal actress of primary socialization that takes place during childhood. Several parent agree on the devastating consequences of jokes and negative comments from peers on self-esteem, bodily dissatisfaction for example.
- Bullying has consequences for life,
I will find some informations that demonstrate the serious impact on children's health does not cease when abuse stops but increases with the passage of time. Teasing is always a direct impact on the child's health by increasing symptoms of depression and low self-esteem. Students who suffer chronic harassment during these years have shown a significant decline in their health, with significant difficulties in performing physical activities such as walking, running or playing sports.
