Unfortunately, bullying is not always dealt with effectively. A lot of children tend
to not know just how to deal with bullies. Sometimes bullying ends badly; one reason
is that bullying can escalate into physical violence; genocide or homicide; or even
suicide. It is very unfortunate for bullying to fall into physical violence; therefore
there needs to be effective means to fight off bullying without resorting to physical
violence. Sometimes, if bullying continues; then it may escalate into the most
unforgivable deed ever; genocide, homicide, or suicide. This can mean that the bully
or the bullied will attempt murder against the bully and those that instigated such an
action. The bully would possibly go on a rampage and feel “invincible” and attempt to
“bully” someone in the highest degree possible. The last reason; suicide, is lead up
from endless bullying. What bullying does to a victim is cause them to lose high
amounts of self-esteem, and make them feel helpless to stop the situation. So
naturally, the depressed victim will take their own life to end their suffering. A lot of
physical aggression stems from anger issue. 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 emotion that 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.
I mentioned earlier that bullying is considered a crime. I honestly think that
bullying is taken way too lightly. For example, from personal experience nothing is
ever truly done to prevent bullying these days. There was once a time when bullying
was not even possible like when my parents were growing up. These times had
discipline that made bullying impossible; this was deemed illegal due to the fact that it
inflicted physical harm to a child. I disagree with this entirely. Therefore, what really
needs to happen is allowing administrators and even teachers to discipline a child like
this. This unfortunately is not as effective as it used to be however. Anyway, I am
getting off-topic; bullying is indeed considered a crime. People spoke against this idea
that such training does not need to cost any money whatsoever. So as a result, we
need to create non-profit volunteer services that teaches people how to effectively
deal with bullies. Particularly the people that need to be taught are the teachers and
administrators of schools and other public area that supervises children.
Here’s a good rhetorical question: What if your child is the bully? More questions
include: What would you do? How can you tell if your child is a bully? These
questions can be answered quite simply. If your child is the bully they can easily talk
to those that they look up to; or perhaps they can level themselves with someone else
while considering the feelings of those they are bullying. (Dealing With Bullying,
2010) The signs of your child being the bully are not always obvious; they can easily
go undetected. Common bullying methods include: repeatedly teasing, imitating, or
making fun of the same child. Appearing to repeatedly dominate or control others.
Showing no compassion for someone who's experiencing bullying. Repeatedly
excluding or ignoring the same child. Whispering about the same child behind their
back on a frequent basis. (Bullying No Way!) Actions can be taken to stop your child
from being the bully. These children often need help in developing empathy, and
knowing just what your child’s behaviour is.Therefore, if your child is the bully and
you know it take these course of actions. If your child is the bully and you are not
aware of it; then observe their behaviour indiscreetly.
So the whole point? Bullying needs to end once and for all. Bullying is an
unacceptable action that is morally draining; and I am a former victim of such an
action. Bullying needs to end, and I greatly support all the movements to end
bullying. What should be done is that people should volunteer and support these
movements.
