3. Does Bullying Vary Between Genders
• Answer: How did you decide on that question
• I decided on this question because I thinks girls
are the root of all evil and they created bullying.
• What did you do to narrow/broaden your topic?
• I did extensive pre searching I looked through a
lot of library catalogs and databases.

4. Boys bully physically, girls bully
psychologically
How did you answer your research
What is your argument? question?
• My argument is that boys • I answered my research
bullying in a more physical question by finding
and animalistic way trying to information in books articles
be the alpha male. Girls try to and websites.
be the alpha female also but
they do it through mental and
psychological control or
bullying.

5. My Research
• The Article: Patterns of Adolescent Bullying &
Behaviors, back up my argument by giving statistics on
Verbal bullies which were led by Girls.
• The book: Gender and Education, also back up my
position on the attitudes of males and females wanting to
be the alpha Dog or Cat
• The website: http://suite101.com/article/the-
differences-between-male-and-female-bullying-a218187
Made my argument valid when explaining that male

7. Introducing Michelle Phillips

8. What is Cyberbullying and what are
the effects?
• This is a form of bullying
• It is a newer form of bullying because of
technological advances
• I narrowed the topic down from bullying in
general to virtual bullying

9. People feel more secure cyberbullying
than they do traditional bullying
• Cyberbullying is very similar to bullying in
general in the effects aspect, but the internet
supplies a certain security that real life bullying
doesn’t.

10. Website
• U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
"StopBullying.gov." What is Cyberbullying?. N.p., n.d. Web. 6 Nov.
2012. <http://www.stopbullying.gov/cyberbullying/what-is-
it/index.html>.
• “Cyberbullying can happen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and reach
a kid even when he or she is alone. It can happen any time of the day
or night
• Cyberbullying messages and images can be posted anonymously and
distributed quickly to a very wide audience. It can be difficult and
sometimes impossible to trace the source
• Deleting inappropriate or harassing messages, texts, and pictures is
extremely difficult after they have been posted or sent.”

• This is a scholarly website because it is a government website

11. Book

age. Malden, MA.: Blackwell Pub., 2008. Print.
• It is written by experts in the field
• “The internet is simply apart of life.”(2)
• “The effects of cyberbullying are very similar to
regular bullying such as depression, low self-
esteem, helplessness, social anxiety, reduced
concentration, alienation, and suicidal ideation.”

15. “The psychological effects of
bullying”
(Answer: How did you decide on that question (what did you do to
narrow/broaden your topic?))
• I believe that this question was important in order to understand the
psychological problems that come from bullying even after the
bullying has stopped. Also to show the different problems that affect
the victim’s life during the bullying process either at work, school, or
everyday life. I was able to narrow the question from effects of
bullying to psychological effects of bullying as I believe this would be
a more interesting topic as these effects can be long lasting and can
go unnoticed if a cause such as bullying is unknown and not
addressed correctly. I was able to broaden the topic to include
bullying not only in school, but at work and at home as well.

16. By revealing the psychological effects
of bullying, the public can see the
value of bullying prevention.
(What is your argument? (How did you answer your research
question?))
• My position is to bring awareness and explain the psychological
effects of bullying in order to allow others to see problems that can
come from it. I also wanted to show that bullying not only happens
at school, but at the workplace later on in life and at home. To bring
awareness to it’s problems and how serious they can be in hopes of
more people taking action and working on solutions on reducing
bullying in all aspects of life. Bullying can also take more subtle
forms in which the effects aren’t as apparent even to the victim(s)
but can also have long-lasting effects such as joking.

17. Research
How do the books, articles and website (discuss as least one of each,
so at least three resources) you found back up your position?
• Book - Failing Grades: This book speaks mainly on the effects of
bullying on a victim’s school success and therefore their future
success.
• Website - www.bullyonline.org: A detailed website with much
information on bullying overall and it’s many psychological effects
on the individual.
• Article - Wolke D, Woods S, Bloomfield L, et al. Bullying
involvement in primary school and common health problems. Arch
Dis Child. 2001;85:197–201

18. Evaluation Process
How did you decide that the three sources you discussed
were credible and relevant to your project?
• All of the resources I choose were relevant to the
position that was proposed more so then other’s that
dealt with bullying and listed it’s psychological effects
and problems associated with it.
• I also looked to sources of authority such as
www.bullyonline.org which as an information source is
ranked highly over other website sources.
• The author’s credibility was also important with many
having PHD’s and/or serving high positions in
organizations dealing with the topic.

21. What are the Long-Term Effects of
Bullying?
• I decided on this question:
▫ Because I was curious about the topic
▫ I have an interest in self esteem.
▫ I broadened it from “How bullying effects self
esteem”

22. The effects of bullying last well
beyond childhood
• Carrying characteristics of being victimized can
hinder job market success.
• Being bullied in the past and effect how
academic environments are approached in the
future.
