Why Teens Bully?

Bullying has become just a part of growing up - has become a serious problem to the point where the school is no longer a safe place for our children.

When I think of Alex Wildman under his own life because he was bullied mercilessly read, I went down to the heart for his family - and Alex there. The way he felt when he decided that suicide was his only chance, pain, loneliness and the struggle must have, it is difficult to understand.

According to Kids Helpline,Bullying is the fourth most common cause of small children asking for help for support services. This is a topic that does not go away quickly.

So what is it that drives a person to harass others? As a teenager I interviewed for my book "You better find your way through themes Teen," admitted Tom a bully at school. "I was intimidated and then there was a time when I was a tyrant," he said. "I sense weakness in someone to intimidate others andthem. I think this has been driven by the need to be accepted, and have some kind of influence or control in my life. "

Bullies are asserting their authority to gain popularity and try to help pay for his own feelings of inadequacy. But at what point it was nice, expected to break a fellow student that the only way to escape as the torture continues to go is to take your own life?

Bullying is everywhere these days. It is no longer limited toThe school yard or railway station bus stop and train station, when students are on the way home from school. Bullies stalk cell of your child. They try to exploit the vulnerability of your child by selectively blocking chat online and recruiting others to do the same. This is the online version of what was once the playground politics know Go away, we do not want to hang with us. " It is also in front of your child's room, the only place you should feel safe. Bullying online via instant messaging,Facebook, MySpace and chat room means that the homeland security risk.

According to a study conducted at the Australian Catholic University (ACU National) Canberra campus, a quarter of school children to experience cyber-bullying and some victims do not report incidents to their teachers fear the loss of access to new technologies.

Robert staphylococcus aureus disease contracted at the age of 15 and because of bleeding and floor mats from his scalp and hair, was forced to shave his head."Because I looked different and had a clear disease, people in the school to enjoy the scars on my scalp and teased me to die. It made me feel hopeless and I found it difficult to find friends and fit me very depressed now. "Robert also sought his life by jumping from a high wall. He was paralyzed for several days and all I could think about what was, what he wanted to live. He says: "When you talk with teachers being bullied and parents, as long as your voiceheard. "

But what about those like Alex, who are too afraid to speak?

Therefore, we have a strong support network of school counselors, teachers and tutors in schools to stop bullying in its tracks provide vigilant need. The perception must be a change in which bullying is so cool that the authors themselves, and are closed unpopular. Tough penalties for cyber-bullying must be done so that our children have a sense of security and know thatif they are victims of bullying as it is a protocol to follow as they deem safe.

Meanwhile Alex Wildman family mourn the loss of a young man with tremendous potential, whose life tragically cut short, because he was publicly ridiculed and humiliated by his colleagues. This can not happen to someone else.

Chemicals in plastic bottles are weakening our boys Teen

Have you ever wondered why so many teenage girls in early puberty in these days, and the guys behind?

Plastics contain synthetic estrogens have been emasculated our boys (and lead precocious puberty, our girls) are on display along with some other factors, according to a family physician and research psychologist Leonard Sax, these plastic bottles of lemonade, water and other beverages.

Five factors contribute to the growing number of low-performing boys and men,by Sax One is the fact that boys and men synthetic estrogens obtained as contaminants from plastic water and soda bottles, baby bottles, pacifiers and toys for children provided. Sax water and soda bottles identified with a number from 1 recycled as the most common culprits. These elements contain BPA and phthalates, synthetic estrogen to soften the plastic.

This is not a surprise. There is a debate among scientists about the amount of these chemicals is harmful.Animal studies, the amount you need to locate to cause cancer, the industry will be used as a benchmark, so that the tracks are not sufficient to cause cancer.

Sax is the question of how estrogen affects a male? Over the past two decades, many of us drink our water from plastic bottles. In fact, he changed the soda manufacturer of aluminum cans, plastic bottles. This makes us part of a huge experiment to study the effects of estrogen administration inMales. Evade the question whether it can cause cancer, says Sax, who believes makes young men quiet, and the causes of delayed puberty.

Four other factors, and plastic additives together to promote a group of men and boys do not grow, says Sax He cited a study that found 25 years ago, had only 8 percent of men aged between 35 and 40 not is still married. In 2006, however, were still up 22 percent in this category, and number. (NYT,08/06/2006, "Facing middle age with no degree and no woman," O'Donnell and Porter)

The proportion of men aged 18-35 living at home with parents or relatives has doubled in the last 30 years. Meanwhile, 36 percent of children in the United States in 2004 were born to unmarried women. These statistics cut across all demographic groups.

Congress, with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, is a ban on phthalates in products for children under 12 years sold in August 2009. Thisinclude baby bottles and pacifiers.

The authority for the food and beverage and its container, the FDA, the Food and Drug Administration. In the controversy over BPA, the FDA decides to prove the safety of the 11 studies funded by industry that BPA is believing. But there are 104 independently funded studies that show it is dangerous Catherine Zandonella, MPH, writing in The Green Guide, an online magazine.

Therefore, let the buyer beware. Avoid drinks in plastic bottles (# 1, 3,or 7 on the ground, if you want to check). In particular, that the bottles filled with hot, a condition in which the chemical than Leach. Also, avoid drinking soda from these bottles because the acid is the chemical from water. And avoid the heat in the microwave in plastic containers.

Sax identified four other factors, the epidemic of men who did not grow:

* Requirements to sit still in kindergarten. Children are taught these daysto read in kindergarten, at an age when most kids are not ready. So start to hate school.

* Video Games

* ADHD Drugs

* The lack of cultural traditions emphasize the transition to manhood
