Translation
Well, in this term we've decided to talk about bullying, because we think is a social issue that exists in schools and high schools, and many times we don't realize that it exists.
Bullying is any form of psychological abuse, verbal or physical conduct among schoolchildren. The dominant type of violence is the emotional and it happens often in the classroom and school break time. Bullying is common in children between 12-13 years, and is more common in girls than in boys.
Because of the bullying, the victim generates psychological disorders. Victims live terrified with the idea of going to school. They're nervous, sad and lonely in their daily lives. In some cases, the hardness of the situation can get to suicide. Over 350 million children suffer some form of violence at school.
We can see that there are eight types of bullying:
1-Lock social
2- Harassment
3- Manipulation
4- Constraints
5- Social Exclusion
6- Intimidation
7- Assault
8-Threats
1. Lock social: The aggressor wants to marginalize and isolate socially the victim, so the victim feels weak, helpless and stupid.
2. Harassment: Harassment: The aggressor acts with contempt, disrespect, and without consideration of the dignity of the victims. The signals of this type of bullying are contempt, hate, the nicknames, cruelty...
3. Manipulation: It distorts the social image of the victim. All the things that the victim makes are negative.
4. Constraints: The aggressor obliges the victim to realize actions against himself. With this way the aggressor can control the victim and he can get what he wants.
5. Social exclusion: They don't want the victim to participate. Aggressors treat the victim as if he was invisible, they don’t want him to participate in their games.
6. Intimidation: The aggressor creates fear to the victim. The person feel threatened. The aggressors attack the victim in the hallways and when school finishes.
7. Assault: The aggressor hits the victim.
8. Threats: The aggressor threatened and extorted to the person and his family.
Risk factors
Profile of the aggressor:
- The aggressors not always have a mental illness or a severe personality disorder. The main problem is lack of empathy. Without empathy the aggressor can’t understand what the person suffers, is totally insensitive.
- A 70% of the aggressors blame the victim saying that he had begun the discussion, so they haven’t got remorse of what they do.
- It can also be a bad family environment: abuse, humiliation…
Profile of the victim:
- There are people that can't react
- They’re not sociable and they’re sensitive.
- They don't know how to defend themselves because they have shame, and aggressions are very harmful to them.
The school environment:
In the school where the environment is bad and the teachers don't know how to control conflicts, bullying is more frequent.
The television:
There are TV programs that show violence as a good thing, and children tend to imitate. However, experts are still debating the effects of TV.
Consequences of bullying
On the victims:
- They can suffer physical injury, fear and anxiety.
- In school performance gets worse, because they are not going to school or they have difficulties to concentrate.
- Stress causes suffering stomach pains, headaches, not eating ...
On the aggressor:
- They may have social problems; it is difficult to live with others.
- In adulthood they can have a criminal life.
Conclusion
- The female suicides could be reduced by 10% if the bullying disappears.
- 22% of Spanish children are exposed to suffer bullying.
- Being overweight and having a bad economic situation increases the possibility of suffer bullying.
- Bullying is a common problem in this society, destroys self-esteem and self-confidence.

Well, I’m going to speak about plastic surgery and , I will explain a little bit like what the people do and the result. This is not a personal topic, but I like this topic because I like medicine and things about it.
What is plastic surgery?
Plastic Surgery is a surgical specialty that deals with the correction of any body part.
What is the difference between plastic and static?
Plastic Surgery restores or improves function and appearance when you have accidents, burns or diseases and tumors of the skin and support tissues and congenital anomalies.
However the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery deals with generally healthy patients and aims at correcting abnormalitiesThis affects the emotional stability by improving the quality of life through professional relationships, emotional, and so on.
Why do people do it?
The decision to have an operation of Aesthetic Surgery is very individual, there are a lot of influencing factors, but one of the most important is society, to have a young and dynamic appearance.
The appearance is one of the things that people give importance to.It is also fashion and beauty. These reasons have a negative influence on the person so they drive people to do it.
Before the surgery they see your clinical record, they do a study of what they can do photos, analysis, x-rays. And also information about the economy of the person.
Are there risks?
As in all operations there are risks and complications and there are also sometimes sequel. There are two different kinds of risks:
-Health risks; include those resulting from the operation, complications and sequel as motivated by the anaesthesia.-Aesthetic risk; the quality of the result and the dissatisfaction that could cause a poor outcome.-And when the patient dies.
Result:
There are three different results; good result, intermediate result and bad result.
- In this photo you can see a woman who had WRINKLES after the woman had an operation and now she looks younger.
- This is a woman who had a good change.
- This woman has had a significant change, I think
- This girl has had a nose and bags under the eyes operation, also is a good change.
- This woman has had a significant change.
- This is a photo that BREAST REDUCTION
Look at this photo! In here you can see two wemen, they are addicted to the operations, you can see the result. It’s incredible. Remember when we watched thirteen; Evie’s mother was addicted to these kinds of operations.
àNow you can see a statistic about the surgery. There are more people that don’t like the surgery than the people that do.
Well, that’s end of my oral presentation, I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for the attention
Have you got any questions?
Check your Language and Structure. Can you correct your mistakes?
The next oral presentation is in pairs and I think that it’s better because you have more security and support. I think that this is the first oral presentation and speaking in front of the people is impressive and even more when it is not your language.
In the next oral presentation I would like to look more at my audience, and not be nervous, I'll try to be calm. Also I'll try to make my oral presentation longer than the first, and if I can make it interesting and better, now I know how to do the oral presentation and what how you feel when staying in there. I think that in my oral presentation I invented a lot of words… but that was because of the nervousness.
Now, you can see the power Point.
