This can lead to heartbreaking consequences to the victim and their families.

Have you ever bullied someone before or are you a victim of being bullied? Well, bullying is described as an immoral and aggressive behaviour where it has an impact on one person to another. This is caused by people assuming they are dominant, superior in age or position. The bully also brings that unnatural anger on someone and tries to victimised them so that they can feel good about themselves. Bullying can occur in a range of places from schools to public places, even at home. Now these days technology is also a problem because of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is becoming an infamous territory to battle their victims as it is often used to humiliate them on social media. As a result, we can say that schools’ bullies have become a huge problem these days. The concept of a bully is that some students who lack in specific qualities in the eyes of the bully is a target for them in order for them to become popular. To be honest, bullying is a bad sign which results in lowering victim’s emotions and this may lead to mental illnesses such as depression and suicidal attempts. Actually, bullying to be present in school should not be tolerated in every possible way because it is violating a person’s human rights. This speech talks about the causes and the consequences of bullying as well the opinions to persuade you to be against bullying in schools and in general.

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.

Bullying is the worst fastest growing trend. Students think that if they bully they can raise their status and others just do it for fun.

According to “bullyingstatistics.org” that a study in Britain found that at least half of suicides among young people are related to bullying. This shows that we need to find more ways to stop bullying all over by using alternate ways to stop bullying from taking so many of the young and thriving minds of today’s youth. Although empathy can be a great help when facing certain types of bullies, having confidence, teaching discipline, and standing up to the bully are much more effective ways to stopping a bully if you’re a bystander or the actual victim.

Individuals often seek others opinions about themselves, while the outcome isn’t always positive. Words are the most destructive acts that people use as a form of bullying; I know this because I was a victim. Being sensitive to these words that these bullies spit out, led to a buried chest of awful feelings. Some of these feelings were in no position to be hidden. Learning how to let out my feelings and let others in has been so important and life changing for me, both then and now as I continue to run into these negative people, the bullies.

When you see someone getting bullied what do you do? According to dosomething.org, most people are bystanders and there are more than 8,000 + cases of people being victims of bullying each and everyday. That's 3.2 million people each year and not enough is being done about it. Whether it’s cyber, physical, or verbal there are always bystanders of some sort thinking if they step in they will be persecuted also. Bullying has become normal in today’s world. As you hear, “kids will be kids and life will go on.” But that’s not the case. Bullying happens around us and we don’t even realize it. Bullying has become more fatal leading to self injury, depression, and even suicidal events. There is not enough being done trying to terminate this problem and there needs to be more done. Teachers, students, adults, etc. are the only people who can put an end to this, and maybe by stepping in to stop the action could prevent one of those 8,000 cases and begin to make a change to the world. There needs to be more consequences faced with this problem because the government is not partaking enough in this problem, suicides are happening too frequently, and laws need to be made.

Growing up many kids and teenagers don't expect to get bullied. Many are bullied for being different than others. There all comes a point where we ask why me why is it bullying me. Many times the bullies do it for attention and making themselves look more, more. Believing in the end of this is what keeps us going and fighting in our daily lives and trying to prove the ones who bullied us wrong. For many it becomes too serious and prefer to put an end to the misery and the torment of the things that happen in their lives. Imagine a place where none of this happens, standing up for yourself can take you to this place.
