Bullying is everywhere. It’s that horrible thing that destroys people’s happiness and life.
Being bullied is the big guy picking on the little guys at lunch, the popular girls spreading rumors about the nerdy one, or even the mentally challenged kid being made fun of everywhere he goes. Bullying is the intelligent college student who committed suicide after being humiliated on the internet by his best friend. I’m sure just about everyone has either been a bystander to the horrors of bullying, heard about someone (most likely a student,) who decided to end their life just to get away from a bully, or have possibly even been bullied themselves. You may be wondering what kind of a person would do this, possible reasons for it, and even how they would go about bullying someone. Going through your mind may be thoughts about the dangers to a society a bully can cause. Hopefully you were also thinking about ways that everyone, including yourself, could help to put a stop to bullying once and for all!

Some people bully others because they believe that doing so will make themselves feel better, even though the outcome is usually the complete opposite.

    “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt… “ That statement couldn’t be further from the truth. How often have someone implied that words are meaningless and couldn’t possibly be hurt by them? “You’re stupid; you’re ugly; nobody likes you” are words most bullied victims may hear on a regular basis, words that can permeate through ones psyche emotionally, ones that can... well hurt. When we hear of someone being bullied, a normal humane reaction is to gravitate towards the victim and there is nothing wrong with that. Bullying is immoral, its indecorous, simply put – bullying is just mean. However, no one ever takes into consideration that bullies too might be victims, perhaps a victim of circumstance, of life or abuse. This is not to suggest that bullying is a suitable approach to coping with life’s challenges; unfortunately for some, it can be a defense mechanism.…

Physical bullying includes body contact between the bully and their “target” (Anthes, 2010). It is the most lethal and threatening, because of the possibility of immediate injury or even death. As with any other form of bullying, emotions and mental health can be permanently damaged.
