Effects Of Bullying

Bullying seems to be a constant issue in our school community. When I think of a bully, I think of someone that is hurting inside and needs to do something with all the hate, anger and broken heartedness. Being bullied is hard to go through at any age. It is a tough issue to address but I think we should stand as a generation and make a difference in this. Bullying can happen to anyone and anywhere and even a bully can be bullied . The three main points I want to make are, the effects of bullying, why bullies bully, and how we can change.

First, I want to say that anyone who has been bullied can end up losing their life . For example, our dear friend,  Amanda Todd, was bullied so much it lead to her suicide this past October. Other struggles may include emotional stress, low self esteem, cutting arms to ease the pain and try to escape all problems that around them. But did that help ? Not one bit !

The most popular question I think in bullying is, why does the bully bully other kids? I personally think this is because the bully, when he or she bullies, it  makes them feel better inside. Because they have been bullied in his or her past years.

In this tough world, we have to stand as a whole school community and as a generation. Let’s stop this big issue around the whole world. We need to address the issue and put action and change to it right away. Also, resolve it.  If you're the bully just  ask for forgiveness from who ever you bullied.
