10 Health - Bullying

Bullying

In health we are looking at different types of relationships the issues within them. I chose to look at bullying.

 Why do some people bully?

Most people who bully others do it to feel a sense of power, purpose or control over you. Others do it to let off built up anger from their own home life/personal environment.

Why are some people more likely to be bullied?

Most people who are targeted by bullies have something unique or different about them that a bully can make fun of. They could also be seen as something less than by the bully and/or others.

Why is bullying harmful?

Bullying can be harmful to a person by making that person feel insecure about their differences from other people. They could try to hide and mask the thing that can make them a target. This could seriously affect someone's Taha Hinengaro, Taha Whanau and Taha Tinana. 

What can you do if you are being bullied?

If you are being bullied you can tell a teacher, the school counselor, friend, family, or help line.

What can you do if you see someone else being bullied?

Instead of being a bystander you could be a outstander and step in to stop the person from being bullied. You don’t have to physically step in, you could also tell a teacher that a student is being bullied.

My Discovery Tasks

 In health we have to pick a topic to research on. The topic I chose was OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). My success criteria was legend consisting of 1 green question, 2 yellow question and 2 red questions.

Once I had my 5 big questions chosen and the basic key concepts of them I explained the answer further. I explained in more detail how OCD affects people lives and how it works. After that I worked on strategies to over come some of the affects of OCD. I learnt these stratiegies and there usefulness to others. 

I worked well by myself but next the I want to work faster and produce better work. The thing I am most proud and produced well was my create work. For this I did art, it shows a girl struggling with OCD.
