Bullying is violent and unwelcoming behavior among various different aged children in school that involves a lack of power for one kid and a lot of power for another. The behavior of a bully is repeated numerous times over time and becomes more aggressive as the path goes on. The bully has an imbalance of power over the one being bullied.

In the past years there has been a lot of bullying and suicide attempts. I think people need to come out and tell people how they feel and maybe it will help them think more about what they all got in life to live for. Bullies also need to know that it isn’t right to be mean to people, because you never know what kind of story that person has.

Kids hurt others and they don’t even realize what bad things they do. Teens think that bullying is just a funny game when it really does hurt people.

A little bit of background detail on what bullying is, bullying is the act or form of abuse to hurt another person making or causing bullying to be linked to a numerous amount of cases of suicide and depression. Bullying is caused by the littlest and stupidest of things but sadly it causes the most catastrophic and devastating effects.

Maybe they are not physically killing the victims, but mentally they are destroying their whole world and then some. Half of these suicides caused by bullying, is half too many suicide cases period. If you are clearly pushing someone to the point of hatred towards themselves as to where they see no way out then you honestly deserve to be prosecuted.

Or they have a problem about themselves and putting someone down brings them up but doesn’t solve anything. Just makes things worse and bullying could get you in trouble that way.
