Research Log #3 - Solutionary Project 2020

Date: 2/21/20
Name: Konnor Harada
Essential Question: What causes teens to be bullies?

Three Points to Prove: #1: Teens bully to feel powerful.


#2: They’re worried they could be next.
#3: They don’t care about the harm their causing.

Point that this Source Proves: ##1: Teens bully to feel powerful.

Excerpts (These should provide insight into the Point to Prove):

Karen Duling is the founder and president of Bullying Know More, In her work with Bully
Know More, a company with seeks to put an end to bullying, Karen gives speeches and
workshops on bullying topics in Kentucky.

Analysis (How does this source support the Point to Prove?):

Sometimes when people feel bad about themselves, they will try to make other just as down as they are,
so they will bully. This makes the bully feel like they are more powerful. Teens may also bully other to
try and be more popular because they are picking on others. By understanding this we can prevent
bullying at the source, rather than being reactive and trying to help people who are being bullied.

Sometimes people who are around the bully and the victim who see it going on are afraid that
they speak out, tell them what they’re doing is wrong, they could be next. They can also do it
because they want be popular, or are directly pressured into joining in. To prevent this, we need
to be taught that when we witness bullying, that we support that person, talk to a teacher or
counselor about it.

Karen Duling has worked with many workshops with kids, and has found that Bullies don’t care
about the harm they are causing, she says “Bullies are lacking in empathy and generally do not
consider how others feel or how what they are doing affect others.” This is especially worrying
because how the mental and psychological damage bullying can cause if the bullying isn’t
prevented.
