Bully
Bullying is a real problem in school. There are many things we can do to prevent bullying. Three things that schools can do to reduce bullying among students are to get uniforms, better the punishments, and showing better guidelines of what bullying is opposed to what people believe bullying is. The first way to reduce bullying is to get uniforms. I think if we would get uniforms there would be less to make fun of. There are some people who don't care about high end clothes like Hollister or Polo and like some other brands. We like to express our individuality, but we do this at the expense of our social status and where we land on the social ladder. If we were all forced to where the same clothing then no one would be able to say anything about the other person. We could stop focusing on clothes and put more effort into school. The second way to reduce bullying is to get better punishments. When kids get bullied the bullies usually just get off with a warning or sent home, unless in the case of a death. When the bullied don't kill themselves the bullies usually get off with a warning. When given a warning people don't take it seriously and more often than not nothing is done until it is too late. I think that the bully should be given a in school suspension. When people are given out of school suspensions they look at it as vacation time, at least thats how I did. I think if we gave out in school suspensions as the first punishment to bullying it would happen less. Thirdly and finally, I think we could show better guidelines as to what bullying is and what isnt. Kids think that every time somebody says something mean to them, they believe they are being bullied, and they're wrong. The definition of a bully is "a blustering, quarrelsome, overbearing person who habitually badgers and intimidates smaller or weaker people." A bully doesn't just say something to you once. The abuse is constant. We need to show students that somebody saying something to them
