Bully

Author note: I wrote this to get the word out about bullying.

Bullying causes 100 kids to commit suicide a day.If you saw bullying, what would you do to stop it? Would you stand by and let it happen ?Take part in it, or try to stop it? Not many students think about this, and that’s part of the problem when it comes to bullying.

Treat others the way you want to be treated.That’s the Golden Rule and it should be followed in every of your life. If someone was in a position to stop you from being bullied and did nothing, how would you feel? If you find that unacceptable, you must do everything you can to stop others from hurting people.No one is even  aware of how much pain these victims feel every day. They go to school knowing they’re going to be hurt and they see no way out. This is because people that bully and many others stand by and let it happen without realizing how much pain this is causing people.

 Even though,bully's know most of the time how much pain they are giving the individual  they don't stop. When the victims see no way out, they may choose to tragically end their life, leaving more hurt behind for those who were unable to stop it.A death of a young person is always a waste of life,even if they lived a good short life.So how many more lives must be wasted before something is done? If you see.or hear bullying in any way you are taking part in it and will be considered a bystander. Bullying is everyone’s responsibility and the option of doing nothing  is not a option .

 Finally ,bullying can happen in school, so it is the responsibility of students to protect their classmates and to show everyone the respect they would like to be treated with. The first line of defense in bullying is in student’s own behavior. But when that fails, it must be brought to the attention of someone, like a teacher.Speak to a teacher you trust and know will do something to stop the bullying.

 In conclusion Bullying is happening everywhere, even at your own school. You may not see it, you may not know it is there, but it is happening and it causes unimaginable pain to the victims. The only way to end bullying is to talk about it If someone is hurting another person, they will not stop unless someone (either a fellow classmate or a teacher) stands up for the victim and tells there bully to stop. Bullying is everyone’s problem; therefore everyone has to be part of the solution.
