Diversity

Diversity

Not just schools can help protect children but communities as well if they respect diversity. When kids are not in a protective environment they can be at a higher risk. When anyone is working with kids of diversity there are things someone can do to prevent and address the issue at hand.

Race and Ethnicity

We are not so sure how clear it is how often someone might get bullied because of their race or ethnicity. We also do not know how many people within the same area bully each other. Those of darker skin are more likely to fail academically unlike their white peers.  Nothing really has been done to identify the exact problem for racial and ethnical groups. Some campaigns though have been developed for racial and ethnic groups. Stand up Stand Strong was created by The Indian Health Service for American Indian and The Alaskan youth.

When bullying is severe enough based on ethnicity and race its considered a crime and harassment. See https://kierstisocialmediabullying.blogspot.com/2018/09/harassment.html for more information.



Religion

Bullying based on religion has yet to be explored. This is less have to do with what people believe in but more about there perceptions about there religion. Title IV of The Civil Rights Act may be used if the bullying is severe enough based on religion. If bullying is happening because of shared ethnic characteristics and becomes severe enough The Title VI of The Civil Rights Act may be used.
