A lot of young people have a good idea of what bullying is because they see near them every day!Bullying happens when someone hurts or scares off another person on purpose and the person being bullied has a hard time defending himself or herself.Sometimes bullying can occur constantly. Punching, shoving, spreading around bad rumors, keeping certain people out of activities, teasing and other acts that hurt people physically can be considered as "Bullying"
Not only can this happen outside but it can also occur on on-line or electronically.I think the right word for it is "Cyber-bullying."By this Bullying,can be used by sending a mean text,email,posting bad pictures or messages about others in blogs,or on websites.Have you ever been bullied?A lot of people have,they just don´t want to admit it.Bullying hurts,and no one should be part of it. As we see in this picture bullying in not the way to go!
Your probably wondering"Why do kids bully?" There are all kinds of reasons why young people bully others, either occasionally or often. Do any of these sound familiar to you?
1.Because I see others doing it
2.Because it's what you do if you want to hang out with the right crowd(cool kids)
3.Because it makes me feel, stronger, smarter, or better than the person I'm bullying
4.Because it's one of the best ways to keep others from bullying me Whatever the reason, bullying is something we all need to think about. Whether we've done it ourselves ... or whether friends or other people we know are doing it ... we all need to recognize that bullying has a terrible effect on the lives of young people.
It may not be happening to you today, but it could tomorrow.
"Just the fact of life","No big deal." Have you ever heard an adult or someone else say it? Too often,people just don´t take bullying seriously,or until its become of it a big problem that involves something to do with the Hospital. Here are some of the acts that kids that are being bullying do and how bullies can be later affected by it. The kids that are being bullied are skipping school because they are afraid of what will happen that day. And for the person who bullies it can be a problem because later on in life he can end up in jail.They are also most likely to drop out of school. In fact, most school shootings are caused by kids who were bullied non-stop.
"BUT"Wait!"What can be done to stop it?"First of all you should try talking to an adult. They have probably experienced this when they were small too. Or go to your School´s counselor. They will surely know what do in these kind of cases. And don´t worry if they say your a "snitch" or a"chicken." I assure you they wouldn´t like to be treated like they treat you. Have self-confidence. Keeping it silent just makes things worse.
