Stop Bullying!

I had to do this for english paper but I'm so passionate about stopping bullying.  i had lots of fun with it, the statistics are scary and i wanted people to realize what they are doing!.  No one cared but one day they will. So many teenagers who are victims of bullying, even many teens who do bully against their friends. They must be helped and given a proper briefing.

We are living in a world where some people think that violence is the only reason to solve every problem.  If people keep this violence around us, it’s not going to get better. Violence has been in this world for centuries now and for the same causes, to gain power of authority. Kids in schools feel superior to others by calling other kids horrible names and making fun of them. Men hit women so they can “earn” their respect back. The point is that violence won’t make you a better person, it will make you a monster and nobody likes a monster.

Bullying has been an exceeding issue over the year. It is about time to make it stop!.  Bullying affects everyone not just the victims of bullying but, the bully’s and everyone surrounding them. The numbers of kids that are starting to become victims as well as bullies are increasing. Nobody like’s a bully and being one just makes matters worse. Bullying is a major problem.

Most people don’t realize how big of a problem this is. Bullying is so common in our lives that we don’t even realize that it’s happening when it does. We believe it to be something normal, everyday thing, when it’s not. Everything it happens, adults say “They’re kids. They’ll get over it.” And “It builds characters and makes them stronger. They can deal with it themselves” (From Brainy Quotes, Quotes.com). When in reality, it breaks us and rips apart bit by bit.

Bullying is a constant problem in schools today. It starts with annoying comments, but escalates to more severe matters. We’ve seen it happen, and a lot of us know how it feels. None of us like it. People might say they are just ignorant kids, but bullies truly are criminals, stealing self-esteem and at times ending lives.

Bullying can be defined as a form of torture toward an innocent person from another “person”, a bully. I have observed three forms of bullying, including physical, verbal, and cyber. Before we can discuss these forms of bullying, we must recognize the plot of bullying.  A bully is pathetic, insecure, and disgusting, by drawing on the pain and suffering from another human being for enjoyment. This “victim” is the one that gets harassed.

Bullying can take place anywhere, school, bus stop, neighborhoods, even at your job. However, bullying take place mostly at school. It is currently a huge problem in schools, making it difficult for student to focus academically. Both boys and girls are bullied at an undetermined amount. Bullying is wrong because it is inhumane,causing physical and emotional pain to another person is cruel. Punching, kicking, spiting, shoving, tripping, and breaking a person’s possessions, is all example of physical bullying. Using the body or another object to hurt another’s body or possession is physical bullying. 

The harassment doesn’t end when you step off the place and go home. Cyberbullying is becoming common on many social networks. Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Path, Tumblr and so many other sites experience this. Teens of a variety of ages hide behind a computer screen, feeling they can do whatever they want to and say what they want and no one would be able to catch them. 42 % of teens have been cyber bullied. 8 % have said they have seen it happen  (From Scholastic Scope).

“Your overweight, ugly, stupid, gay, unwanted” are examples of verbal bullying. Verbal means using words to communicate. Therefore, verbal bullying is harassing with use of word. Writing notes is also verbal. The last type of bullying is, in my opinion, the worst type of them all, cyber bullying. Using the application of technology to hurt someone emotionally and demote his or her social status is cyber bullying.

Sending hateful emails, harassing videos, embarrassing photos, and posting downgrading status are all examples of cyber bullying. This is the worst because not only does it hurt the personally emotionally, but also makes them disliked by other people. Secondly, what is on the Internet can never be taken back. Leaving that person with a permanent reminder of the event. This is unacceptable. People shouldn't be afraid to attend school and get an education.

In order to resolve this problem we need to include these solutions. First, we need to implement stricture punishment. This will make the bullies think about what they are about to do, and reconsider harassing another student. Secondly, we need more security. Meaning, more faculty, officers, and cameras to survey the area to prevent bullying. Thirdly, we need to give incentives to the ones who actually take up for the victims.

Making the students realize doing the right thing is rewarding. Unfortunately, the school cannot resolve cyber bullying due to their inability to control what students do at home. Only the parents can resolve this. I recommend blocking any communication with that person and telling your parents, therefore, allowing your parents to deal with the situation and bring justice to their child. Also I recommend, researching state laws pertaining to cyber bullying.

People often think that bullies don’t see the effects of their actions, or that they don’t understand what they are doing to others. The thing is, bullies understand what they are doing. Whether the bullies are kids or adults, they know it is wrong. Bullying someone is abuse. Some people might say, “Bullying is really common. What are we going to do, send half of school kids to jail?” (From Scholastic Scope Part 2). Half of school kids won’t end up in jail because there are other alternatives.

For instance, bullies could be required to do community service, therapy, or be made to visit a prison to be shown what their futuremay be. In addition, parents, schools, college and kids need to work together. The problems won’t go away on their own. We need to look at the facts of each others case and take the appropriate action.

In short, bullying needs to stop. Bullying is a criminal act. Bullies harass, make threats, terrorize, and use verbal and physical abuse on their victims. We need to stand up to bullies and not let them strip us of our self-esteem. Bullies must face the consequences of their actions with either therapy or some version of criminal punishment.
