Children need to consider each other’s feelings before they decide to bully or pick on each other.

The bullies in schools never think they will get severely punished, so they don’t stop. They think that they won’t be caught and that bullying isn’t a huge deal, but it is. Bullying causes students to not go to school, to feel alone, and to leave their school feeling worthless. If the bully were to be suspended, he/she would learn quickly that what they are doing is wrong in so many ways. They will realize that bullying can be the reason they don’t get into their dream school or do something they love.

This program will be run and led by students who want and are willing to make a difference, and will be a biweekly FLEX activity, where students can learn about all the sides of bullying, why it happens, the effects of bullying, and most importantly how to stop it. Members will sign a contract and must respect the rules and guidelines of the group. Not doing so will result in probation and if necessary expulsion.

Bullying occurs at a young age and it is mostly dealt at school or on the bus. Many people hear horrific stories about students being bullied and what comes to their mind is why no one stand up for them or why no one did anything to help them. The major question is why that student did not speak up and tell an adult about the bully bothering them. The answer is simple, those who are victims of bullying are consumed by fear. When they do seek help, they are ignored and they have to face all of this on their own.

People live for one thing and that is happiness, but how can someone go through day-by-day with being bullied that’s the biggest issue we are facing in the school systems these days.

Approximately one out of four people have been bullied, but few measures have been done to help this group effectively. Anti-bullying programs are not efficient in helping those involved in bullying, as some only scratch the surface, and those that are effective can cost a lot of money. It’s not just the anti-bullying programs’ lack of efficiency, however, it’s the victims’ efforts as well. The victims do little to tell adults in fear. The bystanders are also included; they don’t take action in helping the victims. We should change this. We can’t go on in our lives and ignore the fact that others are being bullied right now, in other schools, all over the world, and that soon, worse things will happen. Better measures should be used to prevent

What if you were terrified to go to your school every day? 160,000 students miss school each day because they get bullied and are scared of what will happen (“Bullying Statistics”).

Students who bully should be suspended from school.
