ESSAY ON BULLYING
I stood up and I watched the people eyes filled with tears and the environment impregnated with cry of mothers, fathers, cousins and relatives while I looked in awe and shamed, this was the same guy that tried to start a conversation with me three weeks ago that I ignored because other people labeled him a wanker and a weirdo. I had nothing against him after all its not a crime to be selective in choosing one’s friends so why should I neglect that moral logic and principle and moreover talking to him will lead to a drop in my reputation of being the coolest kid in high school.

From my own personal observation, bullies derive some sort of psyche high when they do mean or hurtful things to another person, they feel they are on top of the world. So, in my own view I feel bullies get their sense of acceptance and pride when they do something mean or hurtful in the presence of an audience. Bulling is growing rapidly in the United State of America and it is now becoming a ticking time bomb that ought to be stopped before it explodes because bullies want to hurt or harm their victims. In a survey in the United States by Nansel et al.., (2001), the result found out that at least 20% of sixth through tenth graders have bullied someone during the academic term and at least 17% of this same age group have reported being bullied at one point or the other. We should never view bullying to be restricted to children alone because it is not, adults also suffer from one form of bully or another either from their boss, their colleagues or their spouse. This adult bullying is now so rampant given the new trend of human’s activities like terrorism, homosexuality etc. To be frank, humans are not given to change easily and most of the time they tend to react violently to change for example when people started publicly declaring their sexual orientation most countries couldn’t stand it to the extent that they came up with certain laws preventing people from practicing their own believe, I still remembered a West Africa leader

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”). Bullying has been a major problem in schools for far too long. Students should not be scared to go to a place that is supposed to be safe and where they can express themselves. Students that bully never get the punishment they deserve, which causes them to continue to act. When you go to school, you should know that if you are getting treated in a horrific way, the people who were treating you that way will get punished. Students who bully should be suspended from school.
“Ha, it’s Mr. Caveman who somehow got accepted into this school without a tablet,” exclaims my annoying bully. He turns, does a 180, smashes my desk and yells, “Did that startle you? You baby!”

required to stand up for themselves or somebody else. Every day children are bullied and many other children are given the chance to stop it, but they crumble under peer pressure and either ignore it or join in with their peers. Bullying often happens to students in school more than anything else.
Bullying has been an issue in education for a long time, and people have discussed many ways to fix bullying. Typically, when people are discussing bullying, they cover bullying in general and do not include bullying of LGBTQ students. The discussion of bullying of LGBTQ students has been excluded most likely because of the controversy involved. However, bullying is harmful and should not be undermined just because of someone’s sexuality. Bullying of LGBTQ students in school systems from other students is an aspect of society that continues to be a major issue, but educating students on sexuality to remove misunderstanding and advocating for LGBTQ students in school systems to show support will assist in abolishing this issue from society.
Something that prevents bullying is treating everyone with respect. If you realized that you were being a bully to someone you can apologize to them. Try to have a good attitude towards a person. If you are being bullied you can tell them straightforward to show that you are not the kind of person to be messing around or not to seem easily picked on. Try to make it seem as if it doesn't bother you to make it seem that it doesn't bother you. Don't act like a victim and if they don't listen when you tell them to stop go get support. Don't ever fight back, violence is never the answer. Then stay away where the bullying happens. Get support by asking parents, other students or friends and an adult at school for help. Telling someone will not always make it better but it is worth it to get a little help. Talking to someone is best to not let your feelings about being bullied build up causing it to become more dangerous.

Students at EMS don’t get the support they need when it comes to bullying. Most students are afraid that if they tell a teacher or an adult, the bullying will get worse. I was shy all throughout elementary school and there was this one boy who thought it was okay to bully me and others. He would insult me, my family, and my friends everyday at school. I told my mom about the bullying and she went into the school to talk to the principal superintendent. They never did anything about the bully and he continued to bully me and others. He made me feel less than everyone else in the school and I absolutely wouldn't want anyone to feel the way i did. I’m glad that i spoke up but for others it could be harder for them. When it comes to bullying , Students ar EMS do not receive the necessary support because students are afraid of speaking up, and if they are a bystander, they are afraid of becoming the next victim to the bully and we need to shut the bully down before they strike again and hurt someone.
“Approximately 160,000 teens skip school every day because of bullying.” ("11 Facts About Bullying." DoSomething.org | Volunteer for Social Change. Do Something, n.d. Web. 24 May 2017.)

Choosing whether to stand up to bullying and make others aware of the situation starts with you and only you.
We are currently living in the digital world. A world where children may easily grow up without knowing card catalogs or phone cords. With access to the latest technology from birth, these children are quickly becoming more proficient digital consumers than their parents. Gone are the days of saying goodbye to your friends after school on Friday and anxiously awaiting Monday morning to see them again. Now children have the opportunity to remain connected to their peers 24/7. Instead of a playground argument ending at the sound of the recess whistle, today those disagreements can potentially continue online through various social media accounts. With a rise in technology use in the classroom, there is also the opportunity for virtual confrontations within the school building.
When bullying becomes noticeable to others, especially those of a higher power, it can lead to consultation to put a stop to the violence.

In any country, in any state, and in any city, there is one thing that occurs to link all these places together: bullying.

What appears to be bullying is not always bullying. There is this misconception that when someone disagrees with another person or is hurtful towards that person, bullying always seems to be what they say is going on. Although statistics shows that one in four kids are bullied, all aggressive actions are not bullying. If a person has self-esteem and self confidence in themselves and not let others tear you down the imbalance of power is balanced. Bullies have more power over their victims and always want to be on top. They enjoy displaying the power they have over their victim.
