Although bullying is not a new problem, it has moved from the schoolyard and classrooms to the internet. Media such as Facebook, emails and mobile texting all provide the opportunity to "bully" others and do it on a more widespread scale than before. This can prove to be more traumatizing to the individual being bullied than traditional forms of bullying.
Here's recent link to review as part of this discussion: Bullied Teen http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/a-horribly-bullied-teen-committed-suicide-now-his-former-dairy-queen-boss-has-been-charged-with-involuntary-manslaughter/ar-AAmx8hs
For this discussion, consider the following questions/subtopics:
1. Do some jurisdictions consider bullying (in any form or some forms) a crime? Cite examples if you can find them. Should it be a crime in some circumstances?
2. If you feel that bullying behavior would be considered a crime, how would you define it (i.e. what would be the language that should be used in the statute)?
3. What sorts of bullying behavior coculd or should give rise to civil action against the bully? Which specific torts come to mind and why?
4. Should a parent be liable for their child's bullying of another child?
5. Should their be any distinction made between a victim being a child (minor) or an adult?
6. Do schools have an obligation to educate students and parents on the issue of bullying? Could the school, school board, teachers, etc. have potential liability for not curtailing this behavior when discovered? Should they?

The lack of achieving this goal could best be explained by:
A. Goal difficulty
B. Lack of goal commitment

Adaptive functioning is defined as the ability to effectively perform ordinary life tasks (Mash & Wolfe,2016). Those with an intellectual disability have limitations when it comes to conceptual, social, and practical skills used every day (Mash & Wolfe, 2016). For example, those with an intellectual disability are unable to live independently or obey laws and societal norms. Just because a person has a low IQ does not mean they are intellectually disabled, however, even with an intellectual disability, there can be cognitive growth (Mash & Wolfe, 2016). This means that there is potential to live as an independent adult, but there must be adaptive functioning is necessary to lead an independent life. The deficits in intellectual functions include, reasoning, planning, learning from experience, and/or problem-solving (Mash & Wolfe, 2016). Adaptive functioning is important when assessing someone’s intellectual functioning. In court, a person is deemed competent or not based on their mental state. Without adaptive functioning, a person is unable to functionally communicate. Therefore, an intellectual evaluation would not be passed if taken by someone who does not have adaptive functioning.
