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.

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.

What will happen when you lose someone so special due to “bullying?”. Imagine coming home after school waiting for that call from your friend, but remembering she/ he i gone. Imagine coming home after school every day crying only because the girls at school are insulting you and approaching you. “Why you ask?”, because of the mere fact that I was associated with her. Imagine walking through the hallways of school and not be able to smile at one another. Day & night you continue to receive messages that makes you feel unwanted, and miserable. Bullying is not only a crime, but it is also a verbal abuse. Bullying is a stage of denial, regret, and hate. We all have our differences, which makes us unique. Only for some it’s the opposite.

Bullying is a huge problem in the United States. Many people have committed suicide from being tormented, bullied and depressed and not being able to stand it anymore. This is a problem that needs to be fixed. This problem could be solved if people were nice and realized the consequences of tormenting others at a young age and were taught that it is not okay. Bullying is not okay and it is a problem that needs to be stopped.

Bullying has become a very hot topic in schools and on social media. There is a chant kids say “sticks and stones my break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” This is totally false. In truth, words can kill. Bullying is a fact of modern society; it can cause psychological effects and in most cases result in self-harm. I believe preventative measures to reduce bullying in schools and social media should be taken.
