Campus bullying is one of the countrys hottest issues. It is a form of human

rights violation, done by harming someone. Victims of bullying are always left hurt,
either physically, emotionally, or both.
Bullying can be done in many ways. The most common type of bullying is
physical bullying. Intentional pushing, tugging on someones uniform: those are
examples of physical bullying.
Another kind is verbal bullying. Saying bad words to someone, making fun of
someone; thats verbal bullying.
Bullying can also be done in social networking sites. This is called Cyber
Bullying. It is a lot like verbal bullying, but because it is done through social
networking, Cyber Bullying is done by posting false or malicious thoughts about
someone. Everyone can view these posts: teachers, students, parents, and
everyone else.
There are many causes of bullying. It can be revenge, envy, or any negative
events that can lead persons into bullying.
School is meant to be a place of fun and joyful learning. It is not supposed to
be a place for bullying.
Bullies usually find pleasure in bullying, but they may not know that they are
hurting their fellow schoolmates feelings.
Many schools are promoting the anti-bullying policy. You can help in stopping
bullying. Whenever you witness bullying, tell the bully to stop; if not, report them to
your teacher. Campus Bullying is a disaster for us students and humans. It must be
stopped!
