FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):
EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV).
Bullying on a child is serious. It can occur often and have severe impacts on a child. A child may be bullied simply because "they are timid and lack confidence then they may be a target or potential target of a bully" Or they put themselves out there the wrong way.
These article states that "martial arts training can teach your child the important, life-changing lessons that will allow him or her to be able to beat the bully" surprisingly "“without” fighting at all…"
When people critize you for beliving that martial art would promote more bullying "…What a load of crap!" it actually does the complete oppsite. If you wouldnt want you bullied child to learn martial arts "you’d rather have your child targeted, humiliated, and even beaten, instead of being someone the school bullies are afraid of, and others know they can go to for protection?” 
Mixed Martial arts is the best way to handle bullying" while teaching students how to physically defend themselves from physical attacks" and furthermore at the same time "your child will develop a sense of calm, in the face of bullying and aggression."
Ultimately when you enroll your son or daughter into the world of mixed martial art "they will also develop a sense of confident, disciplined presence" and their is nothing more important than self confedience.



Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):

When your child is facing any sort of bullying its important to enroll them in some sort of mixed martial art class. Mixed Martial arts does not turn a bullied victim into a bully, but helps them develope self confedience and helps them make the right moves.

Many people accuse everything as cyberbullying so its important to know whats and whats not cyberbullying."Cyberbullying is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones." It is important to know the difference between both because the4y envolve different age groups.
Froms of cyberbullying "involves sexual predators who are intrigued by the sexual harassment or even ads posted by the cyberbullying offering up the victim for sex" When these act are published in any way shape of form its considered cyberbullying.
Cyberbiullying is serious and is meant to be taken extrmely seriously "children have killed each other and committed suicide after having been involved in a cyberbullying incident." When you beleive that someone is a victim of cyberbullying then get them help asap. This signs are a little less difficult to detected because it's on the internet and for the most part can be read by many.

Many times schools stay out of cyberbullying because "they are often sued for exceeding their authority and violating the student's free speech right" Although its necessary to tell a school teacher when you feel bullied, but when it comes to cyberbullying its a little different.
Many ways can be helpful to prevent cyberbullying. First when you see someone getting cyberbullyrd dont stand their and let it happen. Its up to use to help the victim "we need to address ways they can become inadvertent cyberbullies, how to be accountable for their actions and not to stand by and allow bullying (in any form) to be acceptable. We need to teach them not to ignore the pain of others".

 Cyberbullying is another form of bully. Except cyberbullying involves the internet. Weither its social media or emails, everyone and anyone is at risk of become a victim of cyberbullying.

EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV).
The articles explains that" bullies often choose people who are passive,easily intimidated, or have few friends" therefore it is easier to cast them out because the bullies know that they won't stand up for themselves.
According to most and proven by experiences " children who are bullied experience real suffering that can interfere with their social and emotional development" and the affects can be everlasting effects.
If you know someone who is bieng bullied or is the victim of bullying take neccessary percausions to avoid it "Don't encourage your child to fight back.  Instead, suggest that he or she try walking away to avoid the bully, or that they seek help from a teacher, coach, or other adult." Many times there are other ways to handle bullying.
Many time when a child is bullied at school, teachers, niether parents are aware or never informed. When a bully victim comes home its sometimes noticed when "your child becomes withdrawn, depressed or reluctant to go to school, or if you see a decline in school performance" There are many including this sighns of bullying.

If you suspect that you child is being bullies, "Talk to your child's pediatrician, teacher, principal, school counselor, or family physician" With there help and advice, handling the bullying is less ignoring,but more assertive.


Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):

Bullying is something that cant be completly whipped out. With the help of well trained proffesionals bullying can help become less affective on students. If you assume that you're chil is becoming bullied, let him know that fighting back isnt the option, but get help.

1. Ted Feinberg is the assistant executive directer of the National Association of School Psychologist. Ted believs " bullying was once dismissed as an ordinary part of growing up", but now believes that it's starting to get out of control.

2. 15% to 30% of students across the country are either bully victims or bullies. Bullying comes in many ways and forms " overt acts of physical violence" to " paterns of verbal or relational cruelty"

3. According to Feinberg the greatest challenges schools face across the country is the recognition of bullying, but sadly "25% of teachers report that they do not think its necessary to intervene in bullying" because teacher feel that its not important enough to worry about.

4. Many preventions of bullying are bieng taken to prevent bullying. According to Feinberg " the gaol is create a culture in which adults stop all bullying immediatly", but this is going to take alot from the help of everyone.
