This article was written to inform others about social bullying and the influence certain girls can have on others who feel inferior to them. The author focuses in on a particular situation where a girl was unknowingly being bullied by a “popular” girl in her school. Social bullies make their victims feel as though they aren’t good enough or pretty enough, and often times are very oppressive and controlling. Social bullying can result in low self esteem, and the author recommends that everyone should steer clear of “friends” who are overly controlling or manipulative. The only way to stop a social bully is to break away from them, and to distance yourself from them as much as possible. The author tells the reader that most social bullies are actually insecure about themselves, and that is the reason that they make others feel inferior. ======

[|Gay Teens Are at Risk] ======

Bullying due to sexual orientation is a growing problem. Matthew S. Robinson wrote an article to address this growing problem, and how people can help stop the bullying of gay teens. Using several surveys and statistics it can clearly be seen that high school and college can be a scary, lonely, and dangerous place for gay teenagers. To help the victims cope, support groups have been popping up all over the country; however, many kids are harassed simply for attending the group meetings. The author believes schools should enforce anti-bullying policies especially for gay teens much more than they have before. Also, state legislature should become involved. The problem has gotten out of hand and it is time for a serious reform in anti-bullying policies. ======

The author’s focus in this article is how bullies bully kids socially, why they do and how to prevent it. The evidence that is used is two real life examples of kids getting teased and monitoring what they do after. The results are that bullies use this method of bullying because it is not as easily seen as physical bullying and that the only way to identify social bullying is for the victims to speak up about it. The recommendation the author gives is for victims to speak up and find help to stop bullies. The author concludes that if that if victims speak out that eventually their voice will be heard and then as a result social bullying will decrease.
