 Bullying in School

If you saw bullying, what would you do to stop it? Would you stand by and let it happen,
take part in it or try to stop it? Not many students think about this, and that’s part of the problem.

‘Treat others the way you want to be treated.’ That’s the Golden Rule and it should be
followed in every aspect of your life. If someone was in a position to stop you from being bullied
and did nothing, how would you feel? If you find that unacceptable, you must do everything you
can to stop others from hurting people.

Are you even remotely aware of how much pain these victims feel every day? They go to
school knowing they’re going to be hurt and they see no way out. This is because people like you
and many others stand by and let it happen without contemplating how much pain this is causing
people. Ask yourself this: How would you feel if you were in the victim’s position and could see
no end to your pain?

When the victims see no way out, they may choose to tragically end their life, leaving
more hurt behind for those who were unable to stop it. Canada has the third-highest teen suicide
rate of all the industrialized nations, with 15 deaths per 100,000 people. Suicide is the second
leading cause of death for people ages 10-24, behind motor vehicle accidents. The death of a
young person is always a waste of life, so how many more lives must be wasted before
something is done?

If you condone bullying in any way, shape or form, you are taking part in it. Bullying is
everyone’s responsibility and the option of doing nothing is unacceptable in civilized society.
Some people may consider mocking someone funny, even though it is anything but funny to the
victim. Small jabs taken every day can add up to a lot of pain and suffering. While it may seem
innocent to the person taking the shots, the cumulative effect of these daily jabs could be
devastating. In addition to that, as the pain increases, each jab cuts a little deeper.

Bullying can happen in school, so it is the responsibility of students to protect their

classmates and to show everyone the dignity and respect they would like to be treated with. The
first line of defense in bullying is in student’s own behavior. But when that fails, it must be
brought to the attention of someone in authority, like a teacher. The concept of someone in
authority failing to address the problem is simply not acceptable. This is why you must speak to
a teacher you trust and know will do something to stop the bullying.

Bullying is happening everywhere, even at your own school. You may not see it, you
may not know it is there, but it is happening and it causes unimaginable pain to the victims. The
only way to end bullying is to talk about it openly rather than making it a taboo issue. If someone
is hurting another person, they will not stop unless someone (either a fellow classmate or
someone in authority) stands up for the victim and tells their tormentor to stop. Bullying is
everyone’s problem; therefore everyone has to be part of the solution.

 Critical Review About Bullying in School

This article discusses a phenomenon that often occurs among teenagers, namely bullying.
We can know that bullying can happen anywhere and anytime. We can also find out how the
impact of bullying on victims and the reactions of the victims face bullying. In this article also
discusses how should a person's reaction when he saw bullying. This article is sourced from a
website that is http://www.teenink.com/opinion/school_college/article/331645/Bullying-in-
School/.

This article want to tell people to treat others the way you want to be treated. If you want
to be treated well, then you should treat others well. If this rule has been followed in every aspect
of life, then the bullying will never happen in this life. But in reality, there are still many cases of
bullying that occurs at this time. Have you ever realized how much pain felt by victims of
bullying? Not many people care about it because they are not in a position as a victim. When the
victim was so desperate, they might prefer to end his life, leaving wounds that they could not
stop. Canada has the third-highest teen suicide rate of all the industrialized nations, with 15
deaths per 100.000 people. Bullying can happen anywhere, one of them is in school. The
students are equally responsible to protect each other classmates. But when students can not
protect each other, then it must be discussed with their teachers to be able to stop the bullying.
The only way to end bullying is to talk about it openly rather than making it a taboo issue.
Bullying is everyone's problem; therefore everyone should be involved in finding a solution.

I am very concerned with cases of bullying are very common nowadays. Several reasons
why bullying happens in school is the lack of attention from parents or people around, want
power, have experienced violence, and lack of knowledge about bullying and the impact arising
from bullying. Bullying will leave wounds in the victim, the victim could even get a trauma so
profound as the impact of bullying.

I am also very sad to see some cases of bullying that led to the death. The greatest impact
that may arise as a result of bullying that the victim chose to end his life because it can not stand
being treated rudely by the perpetrators of bullying. This often happens to the victims who are
still unstable which makes them choose the shortcut way out is to end his life. Think about how
you are feeling the victim's family saw family members ended tragically as a result of bullying.
Therefore everyone should of participating in the face and find a solution to the bullying does not
occur continuously.

This article about bullying in school is very useful for the reader because of this article
discussed the impact resulting from bullying so that all people should be more sensitive to the
environment and try to prevent bullying. We also realized we should treat people the way you
want to be treated. If we have to implement it we can respect each other so it will not appear
unpleasant behavior such as bullying. Therefore, we must come together to prevent bullying to
not more cases of bullying that resulted in one should end his life.
