Wednesday, October 31: Find at least one image that you would use in a presentation about your topic and cite it correctly. Also find an additional resource you’d use in your research project (it can be anything!) and include an annotation summarizing the article and how you plan to use it in your research project.




Ciliberto, Kayla. "Bullying." 2012. PNG file.
I edited it today but took this picture years ago.

U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. "Bullying Definition | StopBullying.gov." Home | StopBullying.gov. U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, n.d. Web. 2 Nov. 2012. <http://www.stopbullying.gov/what-is-bullying/definition/index.html>.

On this government website they detail what bullying is, types of bulling, frequency of bullying and where and when bullying occurs. This site gives great details in an organized way that is beneficial for our project and they cite statistics to back up what they are claiming.

CRAWFORD, NICOLE. "New ways to stop bullying." American Psychological Association (APA). N.p., n.d. Web. 4 Nov. 2012. <http://www.apa.org/monitor/oct02/bullying.aspx>.

This is a trusted website I adore. The APA is wonderful. This article is from a bullying expert (the author is just reporting on it) and have peer-reviewed research. All of this information is useful for seeing long term effects bullying can have both on victims and the aggressor.  
"Nansel and colleagues also found that:

• Bullying occurs most frequently from sixth to eighth grade, with little variation between urban, suburban, town and rural areas.
• Males are more likely to be bullies and victims of bullying than females. Males are more likely to be physically bullied, while females are more likely to be verbally or psychologically bullied.
• Bullies and victims of bullying have difficulty adjusting to their environments, both socially and psychologically. Victims of bullying have greater difficulty making friends and are lonelier.
• Bullies are more likely to smoke and drink alcohol, and to be poorer students.
• Bully-victims--students who are both bullies and recipients of bullying--tend to experience social isolation, to do poorly in school and to engage in problem behaviors such as smoking and drinking."
