BULLYING
COMMUNICATION
In the nineteenth century people came calling in the twentieth century they phoned and now preteens communicate on the Internet They type to each other fast as thirty-dollar-an-hour secretaries (except that secretaries can spell) one instant-message box on the screen for each conversation

RELATIONSHIPS
Sometimes the stars converge and a boy and girl actually go out ldquoOutrdquo these first times would better be described as ldquoinrdquo either because of
discomfort or lack of opportunities A few awkward phone calls a lot of empty instant-messaging a mildly flirtatious note or two a slow dance at the
school social no kisses no dates Still the elation could be immense and the heartbreak inevitable
rejection being the most miserable thing imaginable
RELATIONSHIPSmdashBOYS AND GIRLS
It seems like everyone is ganging up on me these days and taking sides like Irsquom a nobodyrdquo one
seventh grader says ldquoLike one day wersquoll be really cool and hanging out and the next day one of them is all mad at me for saying the wrong thingrdquo God this sort of thing drives Ms Thomas nuts ldquoBest friends one day and the next day they hate each
other And the girls just donrsquot let it go Boys if they have an issue they get it out and itrsquos over Girls it
can linger for quite a while So dramatic Ugh
BEHAVIORAL CHANGES IN ADOLESCENTS
Just like that Jimmy has stopped sitting up in bed wondering about the universe ldquoIrsquom not that curious anymorerdquo he says This too is part of the changes engulfing him as he enters adolescence No
longer is pleasing his parents a major factor in the equation of how to spend his time Just the contrary For reasons he cannot figure out even while itrsquos happeningmdashand not like he loves them any lessmdashJimmy like his peers finds great sport in contradicting
his mother and father
Kids donrsquot dance face to face anymore A boy approaches a girl from behind and grinds his groin against her butt At school and church dances the chaperones act as freak cops But at teen dance clubs like the one a half-hour away in suburban Baltimore where a few Wilde Lake kids have gone children as young as eleven simulate sex on the dance floor as rappers bleat about oral gratification
(87)
MASLOWrsquoS HIERARCHY OF NEEDS
Itrsquos no mystery to the staff that Ericrsquos home situation has a huge amount to do with his academic problems and
his behavior and that worse problems could emerge soon if it
doesnrsquot improve
TEACHER PERSPECTIVES
A teacher can give students a dozen opportunities to retake the quiz they bombedmdashCome in before school At study hall At lunch After schoolmdashand they wonrsquot either because they forget or because their time is too important to them A child can be asked again and again
how her social studies project is coming and shersquoll say itrsquos done then the day before itrsquos due she asks for help
ldquoMiddle-school kidsrdquo Ms Thomas says ldquohave to move around They have to be able to talk they want to be engaged in what theyrsquore
learning and you really canrsquot do anything in the classroom for more than fifteen or twenty minutes without losing the classrdquo A teacher
learns at a middle school seminar to divide his class into four segments the teacher speaking the students speaking the students
working alone the students working in groups When the teacher doesnrsquot make movement a priority the students fidget
BULLYING IN SCHOOLSDodge ball has been banned this year in the Howard County public
schoolsmdashtoo violent too humiliating In a way middle school is a game of dodge ball except instead of a red ball you avoid
annoying people
Teasing is some people had their way would become a federal crime Brightly colored pamphlets tout efforts like the National Education
Associationrsquos National Bullying Awareness Campaign ldquobully proofingrdquo schools is debated on the floors of Congress with that
idea that bullying is why angry teens turn guns on their classmates Miss America takes it up as her platform Just like
with sexual harassment schools teach prevention
Lily has been pleading with Mia to do an act together at the outdoor-ed talent show and even though they did one last year Mia says no way ldquoThis is middle schoolrdquo she says ldquoPeople look for the
littlest thing to pick you apartrdquo
BULLYING IN SCHOOLS
WHATrsquoS THE WORST THEY CAN SAY
Gay Used to describe an activity say or a book itrsquos a simple synonym for ldquolamerdquo Used to describe a person itrsquos the biggest insult in the male middle-school lexicon If someone called you gay a boy this age figures it would be even more upsetting
than if he spied on you in the shower or pulled your pants down or even made you touch him A boy
knows he canrsquot deviate or hersquos a ldquofagrdquo Not being a fag preoccupies him Being normal preoccupies
him
BULLYING IN SCHOOLS
THOUGHTS
The section of the brain where thoughts about notes and gymnastics jackets once resided is now occupied
by thoughts about themselves

RELATIONSHIPSmdashBOYS AND GIRLS
It seems like everyone is ganging up on me these days and taking sides like Irsquom a nobodyrdquo one
seventh grader says ldquoLike one day wersquoll be really cool and hanging out and the next day one of them is all mad at me for saying the wrong thingrdquo God this sort of thing drives Ms Thomas nuts ldquoBest friends one day and the next day they hate each
other And the girls just donrsquot let it go Boys if they have an issue they get it out and itrsquos over Girls it
can linger for quite a while So dramatic Ugh
BEHAVIORAL CHANGES IN ADOLESCENTS
Just like that Jimmy has stopped sitting up in bed wondering about the universe ldquoIrsquom not that curious anymorerdquo he says This too is part of the changes engulfing him as he enters adolescence No
longer is pleasing his parents a major factor in the equation of how to spend his time Just the contrary For reasons he cannot figure out even while itrsquos happeningmdashand not like he loves them any lessmdashJimmy like his peers finds great sport in contradicting
his mother and father
Kids donrsquot dance face to face anymore A boy approaches a girl from behind and grinds his groin against her butt At school and church dances the chaperones act as freak cops But at teen dance clubs like the one a half-hour away in suburban Baltimore where a few Wilde Lake kids have gone children as young as eleven simulate sex on the dance floor as rappers bleat about oral gratification
(87)
MASLOWrsquoS HIERARCHY OF NEEDS
Itrsquos no mystery to the staff that Ericrsquos home situation has a huge amount to do with his academic problems and
his behavior and that worse problems could emerge soon if it
doesnrsquot improve
TEACHER PERSPECTIVES
A teacher can give students a dozen opportunities to retake the quiz they bombedmdashCome in before school At study hall At lunch After schoolmdashand they wonrsquot either because they forget or because their time is too important to them A child can be asked again and again
how her social studies project is coming and shersquoll say itrsquos done then the day before itrsquos due she asks for help
ldquoMiddle-school kidsrdquo Ms Thomas says ldquohave to move around They have to be able to talk they want to be engaged in what theyrsquore
learning and you really canrsquot do anything in the classroom for more than fifteen or twenty minutes without losing the classrdquo A teacher
learns at a middle school seminar to divide his class into four segments the teacher speaking the students speaking the students
working alone the students working in groups When the teacher doesnrsquot make movement a priority the students fidget
BULLYING IN SCHOOLSDodge ball has been banned this year in the Howard County public
schoolsmdashtoo violent too humiliating In a way middle school is a game of dodge ball except instead of a red ball you avoid
annoying people
Teasing is some people had their way would become a federal crime Brightly colored pamphlets tout efforts like the National Education
Associationrsquos National Bullying Awareness Campaign ldquobully proofingrdquo schools is debated on the floors of Congress with that
idea that bullying is why angry teens turn guns on their classmates Miss America takes it up as her platform Just like
with sexual harassment schools teach prevention
Lily has been pleading with Mia to do an act together at the outdoor-ed talent show and even though they did one last year Mia says no way ldquoThis is middle schoolrdquo she says ldquoPeople look for the
littlest thing to pick you apartrdquo
BULLYING IN SCHOOLS
WHATrsquoS THE WORST THEY CAN SAY
Gay Used to describe an activity say or a book itrsquos a simple synonym for ldquolamerdquo Used to describe a person itrsquos the biggest insult in the male middle-school lexicon If someone called you gay a boy this age figures it would be even more upsetting
than if he spied on you in the shower or pulled your pants down or even made you touch him A boy
knows he canrsquot deviate or hersquos a ldquofagrdquo Not being a fag preoccupies him Being normal preoccupies
him
BULLYING IN SCHOOLS
THOUGHTS
The section of the brain where thoughts about notes and gymnastics jackets once resided is now occupied
by thoughts about themselves
There came a time when it was no longer okay to be nicehelliphelliphellip
THEN THIS HAPPENShelliphellip
DID THEY DO ENOUGH
THATrsquoS WHAT THEY ALWAYS SAYEDUCATE
