A lot of children from different schools are passing through that sort of situation, being chased or being bitten up, feeling themselves very badly; that could even happen in this school and we don’t even notice it. I would also like to suggest to the children that are bullied or to their friends that they should ask for help to an adult, because these situations could get even worse. In some cases, being bullied during years can cause so much pain that some children even try to kill themselves. A research made in some schools of Spain says that about 2% of the Spanish children suffer from this unfair situation of being bullied and it also claims that about 16% of the children and youngsters had participated of annoying and bullying others. In Hondarribia (2004) there was a case of 14 year-old-boy that killed himself. His name was Jokin Zeberio and he was suffering from bullying every day and he couldn’t stand it any longer. His last words were “Free, free. My eyes will be, even if they stop my feet”. In conclusion, if we are being bullied or if we know a case like this we should tell an adult about it so that he or she could help them because it could have horrible consequences. 3 Reports TEENAGERS WITH PROBLEMS IN THE SCHOOL In the school there are a lot of things that disrupt teenagers. For example, problems at home with their parents or with partners. Some teenagers have to bear bulling. Bulling is every act that can intimidate a person in the school. It can be just psychical or even physical. The attackers make the victim do something he or she doesn’t want to do and in the end the victims have always a sad and impossible life. Teenagers have a very bad time because they have no friends and no auto esteem. They are always afraid of school and partners and even they don’t want to go out from their houses. There is a strong link between bulling and suicide. Bulling provokes suicides every year. People between 15 and 25 years old commit suicide every year because they are bullied. Research indicates that adults and children who bully have personalities that are authoritarian; they have a strong need to control or dominate other people. Bullying can also be done by teachers and the school system. For example, sometimes teachers humiliate abuse or exclude students making them feeling badly and unhappy. STORIES OF BULLYING Janet Brown: This girl is 15 years old and she lives in Chicago, USA. 4 Reports She was not a very popular and beautiful girl. She had to support bullying by her classmates. One day, she tried to kill herself because she had the auto esteem really low. She went to a psychologist because her parents were very worried. She went to another school and she did new friends. Now, she is happy. Taylor Smith: This boy was 14 years old and he lived in Dublin, Ireland. He wasn’t very good-looking, he was ugly. He was a very good student and he liked reading and studying. He didn’t like playing sports like other people from his class. He was fat and his classmates laughed at him because of his appearance. He went to another school, but he wasn’t happier. He was very sad, nobody respected him and he committed suicide throwing to the space. Alice Doyle: This girl is 13 years old and she lives in Munich, Germany. She was addicted to computers. She was always playing games and chatting with people in the web. She didn’t go outside and she didn’t have friends at her school. Her classmates laughed at her because they though that she didn’t have a social life. Her parents removed her from the computer and she was very sad, but she had an idea, she called her chat friends and she stayed with them. Now, she has a lot of friends and her classmates don’t laugh at her. John Kenny: This boy is 16 years old and he is from Ottawa, Canada. He was addicted to drink alcohol and his schoolmates laughed at him because he went every day drunk to the school. He was very solitary. He went to a psychologist, but he didn’t change his attitude. Nobody could make him happy. Finally, when he was 17, his parents hid him the alcohol and they looked for new friends for John. Now, he is happy. 5 Reports Vitoria-Gasteiz is one of the best cities of Spain dealing with the facilities for handicapped people, but it could be better. One of the latest changes made are the bins, but now they’re useless because the rubbish men put it half a metre from the sidewalk and it’s difficult for the handicapped people to reach there. Another important change consists of placing a ramp of the sidewalks; but unfortunately you can only find them in one of the sides of the road which makes it dangerous for them. In some streets, depending of the person’s disability, some of them can’t pass through some ramps; and so they can’t reach their houses; and that’s why the city council is thinking of putting lifts for them. Some pubs haven’t adapted their facilities to this situation. If they want to do some working they have also to consider the situation of disable people, installing in the bathrooms, the ramps, and an easier place for them to reach to the tables. All the houses must have facilities for the handicapped people. 6 Reports SOCIAL NETWORKS A social network is a social set of people, organizations, communities, nations… A social network is a web page that shows the people photos and information about themselves, their feelings or what they are doing at that time. People who visit the space have the chance to comment what their opinion is about themselves. These are some pages with this purpose: -TUENTI -TWITTER -FACEBOOK -MESSENGER -MYSPACE (THE MUSIC THAT PEOPLE WANT ) Here are some logos from that page: In tuenti you can only communicate with Spanish people Facebook is an International page. You can communicate with people all over the world. With the Messenger (msn) you can communicate with any person in the World because the Messenger is International. 7 Reports Myspace is a special page because singers, DJs and bands put their music on the page and they can add photos, news, information about their music and so on. There is a difference between tuenti and twitter. Tuenti is for the young people and twitter is like the tuenti for the adults. Now I will say the creators of these international pages: The creators of all this pages are young people. They know what young people want so they think and create these pages. Tuenti: Zaryn Dentzel Twitter: Evan Williams Face book: Mark Zuckerberg Messenger: Dizzy Nick MySpace: Tom Nowadays these pages are known in the entire world because with these pages you can communicate with anybody anywhere.
