Everyday within our society we see people, mostly younger children, get bullied whether it be inside school walls, or online with social media. We fail to take a long look at this problem and try to find a solution to why this may be happening. We also don’t realize that we are in some way encouraging this type of behavior in some way, shape, or form. This can come from friend’s behaviors, family members, and even parenting.
People every day getting bullied in the real world, at work, at school and just in public. One of the forms that this comes in is verbal bullying, people may say things about ones family, the way that a person looks, and even a disability that one may have. Now people may think, how can someone bully another human with something that they are born with or can’t control? And yes there are people out in the world that say these types of things and they may not realize it, but these words can really have an impact on someone and can really hurt the confidence they once had.
Another type of bullying that is a bit worse is cyber bulling, this type of bullying takes place on social media such as, Instagram, snapchat, and Facebook. Cyber bulling can also be putting another down because of the way a person is but it can also be much worse for the fact that is so easy for people to be a bystander and also it’s even easier for someone to join in on the action. Many of the websites that we have nowadays allows a user to be anonymous and keep a bully’s tracks covered up pretty well. It is upsetting to see that people get joy out of doing this to other individuals because this can also be the cause of people committing suicide.
Social bullying is also one of the bigger bullying trends nowadays, this is one of the types of bullying that doesn’t necessarily happen right in front of the victim themselves but rather this is basically rumor starting. People will tell a lie to others and make it seem true and many others will believe it and spread the lie to their friends in a never ending cycle of spreading lies. For women this can be a lie that they are pregnant or that they have an STD, for men this can be a lie about having a STD as well and also for doing something that isn’t cool, or popular. This

In our time today, there are many types of "bullying", but the one type I believe can be the worse and the one I will be discussing will be “Cyber bullying.” Cyber Bullying is an action when people either get together or by themselves purposely threaten or harass another kid through social media, such as Twitter or Facebook. The use of smart phones makes this action so easy to do and we can't really do anything to stop it from happening. These people can go and tweet about something any part of the day. All types of bullying are usually related in some type of way but the action of doing it is usually much different. Cyber bullying is one of the worst types of
In the United States and all over the world people get bullied every day at school. As a result, this motivates people to try an stop bullying. Countries have made laws to keep kids in school and out of school, safe from bullying, and some schools have rules to deal with bullying.

Bullying has changed over the years, between being just verbal and being physical. Most of the time it is verbal but it can grow into being physical. People like to pick on each other and joke around but sometimes it hurts their feelings or it physically hurts them, you never know what people have going on in their heads. I think it is a very big problem in our community and school, I think at my school is the worst because people judge people for who they are and I don't think it's right at all. People can't help for being what they want to be thats the person they want to be and other people shouldn't
Bullying is a result of 2 types of social practices. First, a person may choose to bully someone in attempt to lower the victim's self confidence therefore in theory raising the bully’s. Secondly, a person may choose to bully in attempt to gain approval from their peers. Levenson in her article “What Isn't Known About Suicides” states “Cyberbullying is a classic anti-social behavior”. Therefore “bullying” is simply a person trying to gain self confidence or social acceptance through anti-social behavior. One can cause bullying by being a bully themselves and teaching antisocial behaviors as the norm and the way to handle social situations. One may also choose to bully people different from them. This is danced around in the article “Monstrous
Picturing a macho teen boy, probably a jock, towering over the puny, nerd boy and threatening to take his lunch money is not at all what bullying is. Bullying can be threats, name-calling, exclusion of certain people, and the victim is made to feel low. Today, acting against bullying has become prevalent in schools and in the media. However, with social media, bullying has become that much easier. It gives the bully a sense of protection. In seconds, a person can make a fake social media account, posing as someone who doesn’t really exist, and contact their victim without the victim knowing their true identity. Also, it allows them to bully behind a screen, which is easier to do, because while in person there might be physical retaliation or other people joining in to stop it, behind the monitor of a computer or the screen of a cell phone, a person can be alone and protected from those possibilities, which makes them more brave than they would be in person. It isn’t encouraged to use social media with malevolence because it can be viewed by people all over, but it is used for this purpose
Would you rather have a black eye or a broken heart? Bullying can be started by anyone, but most importantly, it can even happen to anyone. It affects many people, even in today's society.

Bullying hurts the victim, and some even lose their lives as a result of bullying. Cyber-bullying is worse than physical bullying, because it is publicly posted out on the internet, it stays with the victim consistently, and the bullies are a lot harsher because they have the option to be anonymous.

Bullying is a devastating act committed by an individual or group of individuals to intimidate another, generally to force the other to do what one wants. A person does not choose to become a bully abruptly, usually there tends to be a cause of influence to change one’s perception of themselves as being superior.
