Cloud, John. "When Bullying Turns Deadly: Can It Be Stopped?" Time. Time Inc., 24
Oct. 2010. Web. 25 Feb. 2016.
This was published in 2010 and I think that this does not take away from the
credibility because bullying is still deadly and causes the death of many people. In
this article Cloud supports his title by giving examples of kids that have killed
themselves due to bullying. Going deeper into the topic, he gives specific reasons
that they committed suicide. The big one was people being bullied because of
sexual interests. A specific example that hits the hardest is that of Seth Walsh. He
was thirteen years old when he hung himself in his own back yard. His bullying
began when he was in fourth grade, and by seventh he was afraid to walk home
from school. This eventually led to him hanging himself and his mother finding
him still barely alive. Ultimately after being on life support for nine days he
passed away. Mental harm left this young boy and many others to their death.
Mental harm can do so much that a person begins thinking that life is worth living
anymore. These suicides showing that it has taken a turn for the worse.

The main thing they want to see here is how the views that people have on what
behaviors cause bulling, teen dating violence (TDV), or both.. They ran an
experiment and found that the views were different between the groups they
surveyed. It was written in 2015 so it is recent data on the subject and is another
This source talks about how a Latina teen is more likely to have symptoms of
depression and other things related to bullying. I would like to look at another part
of this study where it shows the different types of bullying that has been going on
with the teens. It talks about the percentage of bullying at school versus cyber
bullying. It clearly shows a rise in the cyber bullying side of this. This helps my
argument because it means that it is happening in more places than just at school.
This is a credible source because it is a peer-reviewed paper. The authors do not
seem bias to me because they are just telling facts about the study. This helps me
because it shows that cyber bullying is one main reason for the bad effects on
teens. It also shows how bullying is becoming a big problem because of the great
percentage that are thinking about committing suicide.

"Trauma Experience of Youngsters and Teens: A Key Issue in Suicidal Behavior
among Victims of Bullying?" Eds.b.ebscohost.com. N.p., n.d. Web. 25 Feb. 2016.
This source was done in 2014 so it is fairly recent it is also one of my peered
reviewed sources, this means that it credible for my research. This talks about
research done that basically sees the connection between bullying and suicides.
One of the things they found is that the risk of suicide attempts are higher in girls
other than boys. They have also shown that the depression and feelings of their
being no hope of happiness are drawn directly from bullying and are linked to
suicides. This shows that bullying is a great problem and needs to be fixed. I do
not believe that the authors here are bias because they are simply talking about
scientifically proven things.
I think you did a really great job with this essay. You made sure to give information on
why your sources were credible. To make these statements a little bit stronger I would
consider giving a sentence or two on where you found these articles (online library
database, google) and including whether or not it is a peer reviewed journal! I also
changed some of the formatting of your essay so your paper would look like the example
that was on blackboard. Overall, the main thing I would change would be to add
quotations throughout your summary of each source. I would also give a sentence,
maybe at the end of each paragraph, explaining how this source is useful to your final
essay and where you plan on using it within your final paper. I think for your essay, if
you narrow in your inquiry question to reflect where specifically bullying occurs and
why, you will tie in readers even more to your topic. I think this because I was very
intrigued when reading your source analysis of the article talking about bullying in solo
sports (which is a very specific place bullying occurs).
