\"Anna<\/a><\/p>\n

Bullying is a more prevalent topic these days, with the subject being in the news now more than ever.<\/p>\n

For that reason, Sinclair Community College will be hosting a Sinclair Talks event that deals with bullying.<\/p>\n

Anna Bucy, a Humanities instructor will present the talk.<\/p>\n

This presentation will include the basics on bullying and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cMostly I want to be able to serve the needs of whoever comes. [I\u2019m] going to talk to them about what they have endured, what their kids [or younger siblings] are enduring, talk to them about where they can find help if they haven\u2019t already sought assistance and what kind of bullying they might be dealing with in their life here,\u201d Bucy said.<\/p>\n

Bucy, who has been at Sinclair since 1995, was a victim of bullying and considers it the area her specialty.<\/p>\n

She said bullying has always been an issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always been a problem \u2014 we are just now realizing it doesn\u2019t go away, that it\u2019s a bigger problem than we wanted to pretend it was,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

With emerging technology, cyber-bullying has come to light. Bullies can now reach their victim at any time.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a kid, the kids at school could be awful, but I could go home. Home was a safe place for me. I could close the door and it was gone. Now with computers and cell phones, it\u2019s never ending,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

As a victim of bullying, Bucy offers advice for those being bullied.<\/p>\n

\u201cTell \u2014 tell until it stops, tell everybody. Sometimes you have to tell them more than once, you got to tell more than one teacher, you got to tell more than one parent, you got to tell anyone who will listen because you\u2019re not alone,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Bucy hopes those attending the presentation will take away what they specifically need from it.<\/p>\n

\u201c[It] depends on who they are, the least of which would be feeling empowered to find help. Whether it\u2019s asking me for directive or knowing that help is available. If it\u2019s someone whose been victimized, maybe [a supportive] feeling that you’re not alone and a connection with other people who are in a similar situation,\u201d Bucy said. \u201cBut I know that as a parent you can feel helpless, especially if you\u2019ve gone through the chain of command and your not seeing results. You feel tapped out. Where do you go next? I can help answer those questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The presentation will take place on March 19 at noon in Building 2, Room 334.<\/p>\n
