Barrett, Delphene, and Scott Poland. "Preventing Bullying: A Key to Suicide Prevention." Alaska.gov. Kathleen M. Benson, 15 Apr. 2009. Web. 17 Mar. 2013. <https://extranet.dhss.alaska.gov/sites/stopsuicide/Shared%20Documents/AAS%202010%20-%20American%20Association%20of%20Suicidology/AAS%202009%20Proceedings.pdf#page=127>.
Barrett and Poland both explain in their article how bullying and suicide are
closely related together and both are at a greater risk of suicide when compared to others.
They also explain how there are several cases of bullying that have led to suicide and
only 33 states have legislations to prevent bullying. The main goal of their article is to
prevent bullying and suicide from happening; therefore, preventing bullying will help
decrease suicide rates because samples or surveys from the United States tell if schools
had prevention programs for bullying it had made the school a better environment and
children have felt safer when attending school. This source is very credible because it
was used in a suicidology conference and has many articles explaining suicidal behavior
and reasons why people will commit suicide. Barrett’s and Poland’s intended audience
can be schools, teachers, and parents because they tell how the schools play a main role
and if bullying prevention programs get welcomed into the school it can help decrease
bullying and possibly suicide.
Bonanno, Rina A., and Shelley Hymel. "Beyond Hurt Feelings: Investigating Why Some Victims of Bullying Are at Grater Risk for Suicidal Ideation." Muse.jhu.edu. The
Bonanno and Hymel explain in their article how social hopelessness is the main
problem that is in relation with victimization and suicidal ideation. Also, the greater the
risk is for suicide when social hopelessness becomes greater. In addition, Bonanno and
Hymel say if victims have support from their families the rates are lower for suicidal
ideation compared to victims of bullying with no family support with have higher
suicidal ideation levels. The creditability of this source is very current since it was
published in 2010. This article gave off an emotional reaction because you will never
want to see someone have suicidal ideation and try to end their life just because they have
no support.
Chisholm, Catherine. "Characteristics of Bullying, Victim Behaviour." Ox.ac.uk. Kira Rose, 2011. Web. 17 Mar. 2013. <http://mcr.new.ox.ac.uk/journal/NewCollection2011.pdf#page=29>.
In the article "Characteristics of Bullying, Victim Behaviour," Chisholm states
how there are many different problems with defining the word bullying. Bullying
takes different forms with cyber-bullying being adapted into the bullying group
with one of the most commonly used sources is text messaging. Chisholm then
goes on to state how everyone has different opinions of what can be considered
bullying or not and how the little things we do can be considered bullying. This
article’s intended audience can be aimed towards teenagers, parents, and people
researching different facts about bullying and the behaviors. Each of these
intended audience members can have an emotional reaction because most parents
base things off their prior knowledge. Also, teenagers do not realize how the
victims do not choose to be where they are to get bullied and the reason why, but
then from all the hurt they end up getting socially harm and withdrawn from the
people around them. In addition, most victims can become aggressive. Then,
from the researcher’s emotional perspective, they can realize what can hurt a
person and why the bullies might have the tendency to go after others with a less
power imbalance which leads to different outcomes for the victims. This article
gave great statics and facts to support my topic and why people have the tendency
to bully and what the outcomes to the victims could be.
Donegan, Richard. "Bullying and Cyberbullying: History, Statistics, Law, Prevention and Analysis." Elon.edu. N.p., 2012. Web. 17 Mar. 2013. <https://www.elon.edu/docs/e-web/academics/communications/research/vol3no1/EJSpring12_Full.pdf#page=33>.
Donegan’s article explains how bullying has been known to be around forever, but is slowly escalading and can be reduced with the smallest things that we can do. He later goes on saying how cyber-bullying is a big factor in the bullying society because online information is much easier for bullies to target their victims. The victimization rates of bullying are increasing due to the trend of technology rising in the daily lives of humans. The intended audience for this article would be teenagers since technology plays part of the everyday lives. Also, the article could be for parents, so they can be aware of the consequences cyberspace and to know the dangers of bullying. Donegan also explains how high school and middle school students are usually known to be angry when bullied, while elementary school kids are sad. Donegan’s article affected me emotionally because he had told how everyone is affected from bullying even if they are just a bystander. In addition, he states a static of suicide being the third leading cause of death for youth from ages 15-24 and those who bully or victims have a bigger suicide rating. Donegan shows a great perspective on the idea of cyber-bullying and how it is increasing the rate of suicide making the statics even larger.
Ericson, Nels. "Addressing the Problem of Juvenile Bullying." Ncjrs.gov. N.p., June 2001. Web. 8 Apr. 2013. <https://www.ncjrs.gov/txtfiles1/ojjdp/fs200127.txt>.
Ericson explains in his article how bullying usually happens when parents or
guardians are not around and explains bullying is an increasing problem that is arising.
Taking surveys nationwide an estimate of 1.6 million children and teens have been
bullied once a week and 1.7 million others getting bullied more frequently. These statics
are very shocking and emotional because for me as an audience member because you
realize how society is started to be rounded among bullying and it was never intended to
be like this. This article’s intended audience can be everyone because bullying is an issue
everyone sees and can have long and short mental effects around on everybody that
witnesses it. Some of the effects are loneliness, humiliation, insecurity, depression,
schizophrenia, and suicide. The article helps make you want to prevent bullying and to
make an action if you see someone bullying others.
