In the assignment, Legal Eagle Research Project: Bullying, I had to research “bullying” and write an essay about this serious subject. The objective was figuring out the causes and effects that bullying has on today’s society using real life situations. There were quite a few solutions that would help prevent bullying from happening. The standard I met writing this essay was Historical Research, Evidence, and Point of View # 5. I had to do a ton of research for my bullying research essay. I visited multiple websites to collect information about bullying and created a bibliography for the research project. I cited quite a few of the websites and articles I found, in my essay. There were many search engines we used to gather data for our essays besides Yahoo and Google; for example, Newsbank, where we found articles about our topics.

I could have improved my bullying essay. There have been many times in my life where I have been in “bullying” situations. I could have expanded the idea of bullying and also my essay more, by using my actual situations. Although I’ve overcome most of the hard times I’ve been through, I still think about the damage that’s been done to me. There could have been many more concrete details and commentary added in my essay. A couple paragraphs would have been included to show how serious bullying is to me and also teenagers all around the world. There were quite a few examples I used but mine would have displayed a better understanding to it because it would be my problems and feedback. I could have made some of my questions that I used for my essay more interesting and it would have led me to writing a better essay. I should have found a few more websites that had actual examples of bullying, therefore I could have shown how bullying happens all around the world. Finding more websites would have improved my essay because I could have added additional information on bullying. Those were all ways I could have improved my work.
