　　在老师眼里，反抗欺凌弱小者和校园敌人的男孩社交能力更强，同样选择反抗的女孩则更受人欢迎，在老师和同伴那里更受宠。遭人欺负会对孩子产生巨大的不利影响，导致抑郁和焦虑，勇敢站出来进行抵抗的人却可从中受益。这绝不意味着受人欺负对孩子来说是一件好事，但这种经历同时也能教会孩子如何化解冲突，能够帮助他们在未来应对困境。

　　LANDOVER, MARYLAND — Bullying is a serious concern in many U.S. schools, which is why education officials just outside the nation's capital challenged young students to respond to the issue with artwork and poetry. in a contest called Diverse Expressions.

　　All the entries for the Diverse Expressions contest were compiled in a booklet and distributed to elementary school students across Prince George's County, Maryland.

　　William Paca Elementary school in Landover, Maryland, is home to several of the top contest winners, including Marquette Dunbar, 11, who expressed how he feels about bullying by putting pen to paper.

　　Inspired by the U.S. civil rights movement, he imagined people marching, holding signs with messages against bullying, like 'Don't be a bully', 'We just want peace and joy' and 'Harmony could be between us.'

　　Marquette won first prize in the art category. He says his picture expresses a painful personal experience as a victim of bullying.

　　“The common bullying [form] for me is name calling," he said. "I just felt annoyed and disoriented because I'm just confused of how I get bullied and I didn't do anything.”

　　Cameron Ross, 8, is second grader. Her drawing took third place in the same category.

　　“The picture is about a girl who is being bullied by this boy," she said. "He’s calling her ‘ugly, ugly.’ This [other] girl is saying, ‘This is not cool. I’m going to prevent her from being bullied.' She’s telling a responsible adult.’”

　　Cameron says the girl she drew is so sad to be called ugly that she cries.
