The article entitled, “Bullying and Teasing: No Laughing Matter” by scholastic website begins by explaining that teasing becomes bullying when it becomes repetitive and is intended to cause pain in someone else. It defines the three types of bullying that exist such as verbal, psychological, and physical bullying. The article provides information on how bullying begins, the effects of bullying on children as well as warning signs and behaviors that parents should be cautious of. It lays out ideas for parents on ways to approach and help children suspected of being affected by bullying. Parents are also encouraged to speak to the parents of the bully and speak to teachers and school administration about the suspected incidents of bullying as well as of the behaviors of their children. The strong elements of this article include the content, such as the defining of terms. It is also effective in providing parents and educators with helpful ideas in their attempts to prevent bullying. The article did a great job at providing some background of bullying. However, it was weak in making the article attracting as it did not have any forms of visual rhetoric except for children's books that could aid in the subject of bullying. Overall, the author is trying to be of help to those who have difficulty speaking to children about bullying and I feel that the article accomplishes that goal through suggestions on how to communicate with the children and school staff about the bullying incidents. Personally, I enjoyed reading this article as it provided some great suggestions to tackle the issue of bullying. If I were to rate the article on a scale of 1 to 10 it would earn an eight from me as it is very helpful. After reading it I feel so much more educated and feel as though I would know what to do if I encountered a child who was affected by bullying. This article was most definitely worth reading.
