Bullying
We are living in a world where some people think that violence is the only reason to
solve every problem. If people keep this violence around us, it’s not going to get better.
Violence has been in this world for centuries now and for the same causes, to gain power
of authority. Kids in schools feel superior to others by calling other kids horrible names
and making fun of them. Men hit women so they can “earn” their respect back. The
point is that violence won’t make you a better person, it will make you a monster and
nobody likes a monster.
There are many different kinds of violence. One of them is called bullying. The victims of
this violence are mostly kids and teenagers around the ages of 10-18. Bullying is when
someone says mean things to someone in person or in a social network. Most of the time
it happens in the social network because kids thing that by making fun of someone in a
social network area, they won’t get in trouble by an adult. This is one of the worst
violence in the world because is between kids and teenagers. Most of the teenagers today
have very low self-esteem because of the media. They haven’t still found what they want
to do with their lives, so, by saying mean things to them, it won’t help them be successful
since they think that what they are saying is true.
There are over 3.2 million of students that are victims of bullying each year. Because of
these, approximately 160,000 teens skip school every day to avoid the bullies. Some of
these students drop out of school. Some schools don’t even help the victims that are
been bullied. Over two-thirds of students believe that schools respond poorly to
bullying, with high percentage of students believing that adult help is infrequent and
ineffective. I didn’t know that harassment and bullying has been linked to 75 percent of
school-shooting incidents.
Like I said before, most of the teenagers have a very low self-esteem and by telling them
mean things, they will only become worst. Everybody makes mistakes. Kids today are
always in the internet and they meet strangers everyday. As a parent, you need to pay
attention to everything that the kid is doing. If you don’t want to have problems like this,
don’t talk to strangers over the internet. Once it’s on the internet it stays there
forever. If you see someone that is being bullied over the internet or at school, contact
an adult or confront the person yourself. If we all stand up together against bullying, the
world will be a better place. You might think that the one that you are making fun of is a
monster because of the stuff he or she has done, but in reality, you are the monster for
making them feel worst.
