BULLYING
Bullying is a very big problem in almost every school. When bullying goes out of the limit , it might end with a terrible gunfire(Colombian massacre). I believe everyone have been bullied by someone and have been a bully for a once . Bullying is an issue that is very important in nowadays and needs a special attention .
Some of the ways to bully other people are by: calling you names , making things up to get you into trouble, hitting, pinching, biting and pushing, taking things away from you, damaging your belongings, stealing your money, taking your friends away from you. Now, to talk about why people bully someone there are many aspects. Some bullies do it to get attention or to make other people afraid of them . Others might be jealous of the person they are bullying. It makes bully feel , stronger, smarter, or better than the person he or she is bullying. Some people think that it's one of the best ways to keep others from bullying himself . What is even worse, some bullies may not even understand how wrong their behaviour is and how it makes the person being bullied feel.
Some young people are bullied for no particular reason, but sometimes it's because they are different in some way. It could be the colour of their skin , their financial condition, the clothes they wear or even their name.
Some people think bullying is just part of growing up and a way for young people to learn to stick up for themselves. But bullying can make young people feel lonely, unhappy and frightened. Young people who bully are more likely than those who don't bully to skip school and drop out of school. They are also more likely to smoke, drink alcohol and get into fights. It scares some people so much that they skip school. As many as students may stay home on any given day because they're afraid of being bullied. It downgrades students marks and makes an awful inside pain. What is more children who bully are more likely to get into fights, vandalize property, and drop out of school.
If I see that someone is being bullied Im always going to try to stop it. Sometimes the best thing you can do for a person who is being bullied is just to be there for him or her and be a friend . Whether this means agreeing to walk home with him or her after school, sitting with him or her on the bus or at lunch , trying to include him or her in your school or social activities, or just spending some time with him or her and trying to understand what he or she is going through. I know what feeling you have when someones is calling you with nasty names or talking rubbish about your parents . It will make such an anger inside you that you really want to kill that person who is bullying you.
It's hard to talk about serious things with adults sometimes, but they can help to stop bullying. Tell an adult that you trust and can talk to your parents, your teacher , your best friends or even your neighbour . If you've told a grown-up before and they haven't done anything about it, tell someone else . Having someone else there to support you can make it a lot less scary. Tell the adults exactly what has happened - who did the bullying, where and when it happened, how long it's been happening to you, and how it's making you feel. If you talk with an adult at your school, ask them what they will do to help stop the bullying. It is their job to help keep you safe . Most adults really care about bullying and will do everything they can to help you.
Fortunately bullying is not such a big problem in Estonia than it is in USA, regrettably it still exists. In my opinion bullys should think about what kind of pain they are making. Many kids have taken their lives because they have been so fustrated of bullying. Bullying is also one of the main reasons in school shootings. Once the shooting is done, bullys understand what they have made. Many teenagers are being mocked and swaggered at the moment. Everyone can do something to stop this. Think about that and help bullies in every ways that you can.
