Facts About High School Bullying Physical bullying is more common in middle school but declines in high school. Emotional or verbal bullying, however, remains constant from middle school through high school. Bullying can have many negative effects, not only personal effects on the individual victim, but societal effects such as school shootings, suicide rates and high school drop-out rates. Some populations are more likely to become targets of bullies. Gays, lesbians, teens with disabilities and teens in certain ethnic groups or who are people of color are often singled out for bullying in high school. Some teens bully teachers or other school employees instead of or in addition to their peers. Although the bullies were middle school students rather than high schoolers, the profanity, insults and sexual taunts to which bus monitor, Karen Klein, was subjected to in 2012 were captured by another teen’s cell phone and provoked widespread outrage in New York and across the U.S. Every day, 160,000 teens skip school because of bullying, according to DoSomething.org. Bullying has an impact on drop-out rates — one out of every 10 teens drops out because of bullying, according to DoSomething.org. Harassment and bullying have been factors in 75 percent of school shooting incidents. In most cases, it is the victim who becomes a shooter. Eric Harris, Dylan Klebold, Nathan Ferris, Edmar Aparecido Freitas, Brian Head, Seung-Hui Cho, Wellington Menezes Oliveira and Jeff Weise were all school shooters who committed suicide or were killed after a shooting rampage. All had been bullied. As many as 70 percent of high school students have been bullied but many never report it, because they are afraid or because they feel the school will not take action
rugby trials. “Male” and “Female” sport carry lots of stereotypes. A female athlete need to be elegant, highly skilled, strong, flexibili and have “ the perfect body”. Even in sport their appearance counts, woman appearance is still overshadowing their achievements. Unlike women sports men sports are more violence orientated, due the the high level of testosterone.
Media is one of the main income sources for athletes. Athletes needs to have a good image to earn lots of money through media, a man is more likely to make more money play soccer or rugby than playing netball or figure skating.
It's really hard for an athlete to make it without following the structure gender roles has created in our sociaty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xXpo032rVk&ab_channel=NikeBasketball

How does this benefit Nike? They would be the first to pay men and women equal and I say will be a great marketing idea as it will attract a lot of woman as they can see nike as the right idea in my mind and made a solution to treat women equal to men.

Bryan Habana will become the fourth Springbok to play 100 Tests for South Africa when the Boks face Australia in Perth on Saturday. ◦ Habana made his debut against England in 2004 as Springbok No 766, and has made 97 starts for the Boks. ◦ His record on the wing is unparalleled, having amassed 56 tries in his 99 Tests, a South African record. ◦ He scored his first Test try with his first touch of the ball in a Bok jersey, against the then Rugby World Cup champions England at Twickenham. ◦ All but one of Habana’s Test appearances have been on the wing – he played once at outside centre, against Ireland in 2006. ◦ He made his provincial debut for the Golden Lions in 2003, although his breakout year came in 2004, when he was selected for the Blitzboks and the Junior Boks, as well as being named SA Young Player of the Year. ◦ In 2005 he was named Super Rugby and SA Rugby Player of the Year, and was also awarded the Try of the Year for his effort against the Blues while playing for the Bulls at Loftus. ◦ He enjoyed his most successful year in 2007, taking home the SA Rugby Player of the Year award for the second time, along with the IRB Player of the Year. He scored 13 tries for the Boks that year, including eight at the Rugby World Cup where he equalled Jonah Lomu's record, and was once again awarded with the Try of the Year for his title-clinching score in the Super Rugby final against the Sharks. ◦ Habana was named SA Rugby Player of the Year of the year for the third time in 2012, and became the second South African to claim the IRPA Try of the Year for his superb solo try against the All Blacks in Dunedin.

Brilliant. It’s nothing new though, Hunt was devoted to his dog Oscar, allegedly taking the alsatian out for dinner in some of London’s finest eateries. 6) Lauda was left badly burnt by the Nurburgring crash which is the central event in Rush. It wasn’t all bad news though. Burns to his scalp mean Niki has worn a red baseball cap pretty much ever since and he revealed in 2009 advertisers pay around £1million a year to advertise on motorsport’s most famous headgear. 5) The Austrian also claimed losing half an ear at the Nurburgring made it easier to use the phone. 4) After retirement Hunt became a popular commentator on BBC’s F1 coverage, providing quite a contrast to Muray Walker’s unbridled enthusiasm. Hunt was famously dismissive of Andrea de Cesaris (‘an idiot’) and any back marker with the temerity to get in the way of the quicker cars. He was also prone to the occasional bout of swearing. 3) James Hunt proposed to Helen Dyson, who would have been his third wife, in 1993 but died, suddenly, of a heart attack the following day. 2) Hunt, infamously, claimed to have slept with over 5,000 women in his short lifetime. 1) Lauda, in an interview to promote Rush, claims to have been ‘30% of the playboy Hunt was’. We’ll allow you to do the maths on that one.
