ANTIBULLYING

 

In today's advanced, sophisticated and modern age, everything develops rapidly as technology and people's thinking change. However, in this advanced era, there is still bullying at school, home or in the home environment.

Bullying (known in Indonesian as "oppression / risak")constitutes all forms of oppression or violence committed intentionally by one person or group of stronger people or power over others, with the aim of hurting and done continuously.

Types of bullying:

• Physical bullying
• Verbally bullying

• Direct non-verbal behavior
• Indirect non-verbal behavior
• Cyber ​​bullying

a. Impact on victims:

- Depression and anger

- low attendance and low academic achievement

students

- Decreased intelligence test scores (IQ) and analytical skills

students.

b. Impact on the perpetrator:

Doers have high self-esteem with high self-esteem too high, tend to be aggressive with pro behavior against violence, typical of people who are violent, irritable and impulsive, low tolerance for frustration. Have a need strong to dominate others and less empathetic towards the target.

c. Impact on other students who witness bullying (bystanders):

Several students might join the bullies for fear of being the next target and some others may just be silent alone without doing anything and the worst they felt there's no need to stop it.

Here are some steps parents can take to prevent bullying:

-Institute moral values ​​from an early age.

-Encourage children to jointly assess and distinguish good deeds from actions that are not appropriate to others.

-Build good communication with children, and accompany them in the process of growth and development.

-Teach children how to be assertive, aka firm but always polite, so that they are not easily bullied and become a people pleaser.

-You can also advise your child to dare to report to teachers at school when they experience bullying behavior.

-If your child feels unable to speak directly, maybe he or she can write them a letter or email them.

-If your child is a bully, then invite the child to discuss and find out the cause. Explain that this is not acceptable behavior, and is not acceptable.

-Parents can invite children (both perpetrators and victims) to undergo counseling so that their thought patterns and behavior can be better directed.

Last but not least, be a good role model for children. Because consciously or not, children will imitate their parents as a measure of behavior.

My story:

Talking about bullying, I have experienced it from elementary school to junior high school, only a verbal bullying is said to be grumpy, dirty, short or snub. It didn't really matter to me because I realized that I was. All I do is shut up and accept the reality. That's all my story I'm afraid what I'm telling you is boring hehe.

The Story of Mouse Deer and Farmer

Once there were a mouse deer and a farmer. The farmer planted cucumber in his farm. In the same time the mouse deer was trying to steal the cucumbers.

One day, when the mouse deer wanted to steal the cucumber, he saw a scarecrow int the farmer’s field. He was frightened in the first time but soon found that the scarecrow could not scare off him. Even he punched the scarecrow with his front leg. Unluckily his front leg got stuck in the scarecrow because the farmer had filled it with strong adhesive glue.

The mouse deer forcefully tried to pull out his leg, but it did not work. The glue was too strong for him to set free. Not long after that, the farmer came. The farmer was satisfied to his work. The mouse deer was finally trapped. Then the farmer put the mouse deer in a cage.

The mouse deer was really in a big trouble as the farmer’s dog came approaching him. The dog said that the mouse deer would be cut and cooked for the following morning. In such dangerous situation, the mouse deer kept calm even relaxed. Of course it made the dog confused and asked the mouse deer why  he was not scared. So the mouse deer answered,” I’ll not be cooked but I’ll be a prince” Hearing the answer, the dog became more confused then the mouse deer continued. “I’m going to marry the farmer’s daughter so I’m going to be a prince. I am sad about you. You have loyalties but they are paid just like this” The mouse deer knew that the dog felt unhappy and continued proudly, “Now, look at me! I’ll become a prince in this house tomorrow”

The dog felt discriminated and asked the mouse deer to switch place. The dog thought that by switching place with the mouse deer in the cage, he would become a prince. The mouse deer agreed. Soon the dog opened the cage and let the mouse deer free.

One day my brother's pet cat gave birth to a cute kitten, usually if the cat has given birth she will be more possessive of the kitten and fierce if anyone approaches her. But the cat that my brother keeps is not like that, she is very obedient and calm.

On a time when our family woke up for Sahur, the cat's mother went missing somewhere leaving her kitten alone. The kitten who is only 1 week old is very calm but we are very worried about the kitten why. Already from 10 pm the cat mother disappeared, we waited for the cat to come home but did not come home, at 5 am my mother gave the kitten a drink.

We wondered if the cat really didn't go back to what about the kittens, what milk should they give. We keep thinking about it because this is our first time taking care of a cat especially since it was just born.

Until finally in the morning the cat's mother returned home, we felt relieved and at the same time confused about where the cat went all night.

Enchanted Fish

 

     Enchanted fish is a folk tale that teaches us about a hope that will always exist. The bad nature of greed that brings disaster to itself. 

     And also teaches that we must be assertive and responsible people so that we can guide the people closest to us to realize that what they are doing is wrong.

     I made a banner out of the folktale. In the banner that I made there is a picture of a fish, I purposely made it like a polaroid photo to attract visitors. 

     The sentences I use are also not long so they are easy to read when people pass them. And there is also an address and entrance fee so that visitors are not confused.

 Butterfly metamorphosis

 General statement 

To grow into an adult, a butterfly goes through 4 stages, namely egg, larva, pupa and adult. Depending on the type of butterfly, the life cycle of a butterfly can last from one month to a full year. 

Explanation 

A butterfly begins life as a very small, round, oval, or cylindrical egg. The eggs hatch and the young ones called larvae or caterpillars emerge from the eggs. The first caterpillar eats the egg shell in which it was born. Then it started eating the leaves and started growing. The exoskeleton (skin) does not stretch or grow, so it grows by "molting" (shedding the growing skin) several times as it grows. As soon as the caterpillar has finished growing and reaches its full length, it forms itself into a cocoon, which is also known as a cocoon. The cocoon remains motionless inside the cocoon. Inside the cocoon, the pupa undergoes a series of changes. After about 15 days, a beautiful adult butterfly emerges from the cocoon. 

Closing 

When the butterfly comes out, the wings are small and wet, then the butterfly pumps the liquid into it to make it strong and expand. After a few hours, the wings become strong enough and the butterfly can fly.
