Students Should Be Disciplined At Home
By:Laura Rushton

Kids these days are getting bullied too much at school. Parents need to control their kids so they are disciplined and kind to one another. Kids don’t have a right to be mean to one another, although kids think they do. Parents should know to discipline their kids when they need it or not. Parents hear what their kids do in class and just let it go. Kids should be disciplined at all times!

Students should have discipline at home because it’s their children and their job not the schools. Parents are sometimes not letting kids know what’s wrong and what’s right. Which then makes kids think they can live their lives and never get in trouble. Which might lead us to trouble in classrooms or school.

Students can learn to behave, help,be respectful, and nice only if they learn how to be disciplined. Schools or should I say most schools are having problems with bullies and some say its because they don’t have enough discipline. Personally I agree. People not only get hurt on the outside but they get hurt on the inside. Some kids may think they should act in a bad way or disrespect people if other kids aren’t disciplined because that will make good kids think its ok to bully and disrespect others.

Students can become a better and nicer people just by one thing called discipline. They will understand where the line must be made. Kids might get overwhelmed and do silly stuff but you don’t NEED to worry about that much. You might want to check if your kid is treating everyone with respect. Kids need to know that friends and (proper ones) are really important, helpful, and meaningful.

I understand that parents let their kids be kids but their kids need to know when a parent says enough is enough. Kids also need to know to be well behaved. Parents may think what I am saying ids crazy but, to be honest it’s true. I have spoken to many parents who have said discipline is very important in a child’s life. Some parents have the idea that discipline has nothing to do with bullying and stuff. I think that they are wrong because if kids don’t know what’s wrong and what’s right they are just going to get away with it or think it is right.

My solution to this problem is spending time more time with your kids and sitting down with them and telling them what is wrong and what is right. You can ground your kids for a punishment which most parents think is a very good solution to a problem like this. It is a very good way for your kids to learn their lesson. It only really works if you ground them for something they really like doing or using. Thank you for taking the time to read my opinion piece.
