Bullying is an emotinally draining issue prominent across the world today.

Bullying is unacceptable, and there are many, if not several movements in an effort
to end bullying once and for all. Throughout the course of this essay, I am going to
discuss the issue of bullying, and formulate an argument towards the issue at hand.
In this argument, I will show my support in the fight against bullying. A lot of things
have changed throughout the course of time; however, it is still prominent
throughout the world today. Bullying is inhumane, and needs to end; The old saying,
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me? (Steiny 2)
isnt necessarily true; words hurt. Maybe not physically, but when kids already have
insecurities, bullies dont help. They build on those insecurities and insult the
different qualities of kids. No one likes the way insults feel, and this is why bullies
are criminals and deserve more severe consequences. what do you think? Do you
think the fights against bullying are effective? Do you all think that everything is
right in the world? Wrong! Despite all the fights against bullying; it still happens.
Why? Well, that is what this essay is about.

Parenting is where a lot of bullying tactics begin. Conaway states, These days, parents simply
cannot pop out a kid and expect to learn everything on the fly. There are some tools likecreating
teachable moments, talking about difficult issues, handling inter/intra personal stressors, etc., that
could significantly help how a parent raises their children. (Conaway, 2012) His point is quite
valid; parents influence how other children view their peers. They can also influence just how
they can deal with bullying if their child is the one being bullied. Therefore, there needs to be
raised awareness on the signs of bullying.
If you're in a situation where you have to deal with a bully and you can't walk away with
poise, use humor it can throw the bully off guard. Work out your anger in another way, such
as through exercise or writing it down (make sure you tear up any letters or notes you write in
anger). (Dealing With Bullying, 2010) These are some effective ways to deal with anger. Anger
is a natural emotionthat can sometimes be very difficult to control. I even find myself still having
issues controlling anger, but not as much as when I was younger. Anyway, what should be done
is that there needs to be guidance. The parents need to teach their children just how to control
their bursts of anger. These bursts of anger, especially when someone is bullied; can often lead to
several problems. If these are not controlled, then there can be some dire consequences.
In short, bullying needs to stop! Bullying is a criminal act. Bullies harass, make
threats,
terrorize, and use verbal and physical abuse on their victims. We need to stand up
to bullies and
not let them strip us of our self-esteem. Bullies must face the consequences of their
actions with

either therapy or some version of criminal punishment. Maybe if we take a group of

bullies to
visit a jail to show them how rough their life could turn out, they may rethink their
behavior.
So the whole point? Bullying needs to end once and for all.
