Speak up.

Almost every school has a major issue, at Sunridge I believe bullying is  our biggest issue. Four out of six  students that I interviewed also think that bullying is our biggest problem. Each grade had at least one person saying bullying was a problem so it must actually be a big dilemma .

  Students gave many ways to stop bullying such as, getting help from teachers the moment it happens to you or when you see it happening, also some students said if teachers monitor a little bit more it could help,or maybe even finding another consequence besides suspending them or sending them to ISD. People who could help with this problem is principals,teachers, and even students.

 Another problem that was brought up by 7th grader Samantha Parker she said “students are  being suspended way too much”. Which I agree this year has been the worst for students being suspended.”Students must have just stopped caring that they are bullying people or getting suspended”,said 6th grader Lark MacDonald.This seems very true it does seem like the students at Sunridge have stopped caring if they get in trouble. Getting suspended for some kids is just a way to get to stay home. Those students that get suspended repeatedly are only missing out on getting themselves educated.Being suspended and acting up at school could lead to students dropping out.

  So when  you see someone bullying another person say something to an adult or even the bully.When you see someone doing something that could get them in trouble or suspended tell them to stop so they don’t get in trouble. They may not listen to you but at least you did say something to them that could’ve stopped them from getting in trouble or suspended.
