needs to stop

Bullying. Why, What, When, Where, How? Why do people bully others? What makes others bully people? When do people ever feel bad? Where does it happen? How come it happens every single day, almost anywhere? There are so many questions that come to me when I think about bullying, the biggest is just why. But in today’s society it happens everywhere and sadly it is somewhat acceptable. I’m not going to tell you ive never bullied someone because I would be lying and I’m not going to believe you if you tell me you haven’t, because everyone has done it. But, Why?

I have personally been bullied, and I’m sure many others too. Society today is full of it, but what can we do to prevent it, because frankly I’m sick of it. It’s just not funny to me anymore; it’s annoying and very degrading on so many levels. Once again, Why, What, When, Where, & How?

WHY: Why do people bully others? – People bully others either a) for their own benefit, or b) to be cruel and harmful. Why bully someone though, what exactly comes from it, the other person feeling terrible, or possibly doing something terrible as a result that’s terrible and life threatening. It’s really just not worth it, it can make not only them feel bad, but make you personally feel bad too.

WHAT: What exactly is bullying? - Bullying: may be defined as the activity of repeated, aggressive behavior intended
to hurt another person, physically or mentally. The definition itself says why you shouldn’t bully and how it’s intended!

WHEN: - When do people ever feel bad? Usually the bullier doesn’t show that they feel bad or they just really don’t, I almost think that if someone feels bad about themselves they feel better making someone feel the same way, but what does it take for you to “feel” bad? Is it possibly making someone get hurt emotionally or physically or what worth it!

WHERE:-Where does it happen? It happens EVERYWHERE every day, every single minute, & yes every single second. It doesn’t matter if you’re at school or at home or anywhere. There are so many forms and ways you can be bullied, like texting or over the internet; there aren’t usually filters for things like that.

How: - How come it happens? It happens due to the fact that in today’s society we have accepted it almost and don’t seem to worry about it that much! There are so many ways it happens and times it happens that I have seen.

In conclusion it just needs to stop. Many, many, many people are affected from it every day and it needs to be confronted and stopped.  Majority of people have done it and I don’t think everyone feels positive about it. So here is what you can do, next time you see it happening maybe you should be the person to stand up and not just sit there and watch it happen! Stand up for someone and maybe even make a difference for once. (511 words)
