It was the afternoon in a small town at a school. Teens and kids were pushing, pulling and rushing to get to class on time. Nicole was trying to get to her locker to get ready ELA. As she opened her locker she saw a little note falling down to her feet. She was confused. Was it a love letter? Or was it an invitation to a friend birthday party? As she opened the note she was heartbroken because of how rude this note was. Sudden the next day she got another threatening note. Nicole was getting scared. Should she tell somebody or should she just leave it alone?
This is called bullying. Bullying is a type of harassment that everyone faces some point in their life. It can happen anywhere in school, after school, at the park, at mall and even online. A article on the website called athealth.com stated that bullying occurs more around school than other places. Very understandable because that is how problems are made. School is well know for learning and making friends, but making friends with the wrong crowd will lead to bullying.
This is what is happening with bullying. Kids/teens get scared that this person is going to do horrible things to them. They think it is going to stop and they can handle. Sometimes they handle it by cutting and even killing them selves. An article on a website called HeyUgly.org stated that "4,400 lives are taken because of bullying." This revels that bullying is super dangerous. But not a lot of kids have the courage to tell a teacher or an adult about bullying. On a survey that a few middle schoolers took. Most of them said that the bullying didn't stop. Most teens in the survey also said that they told nobody that they were bullied. This goes to show that most kids/teens can't tell anyone that they are bullied. Bullying can't just affect the victim it could also affect the bully. If the victim kills themselves the bully would of course have regret.
Is there way we can stop bullying? Well bullying can't just disappear forever, bullying can happen anytime. There is one thing we can do. We can try prevent it by being nice to each other. Although there a lot of people that are actually mean and can't help. One way deal with a situation like if someone you know is getting bullying get them help before it get out of hand. Therefore bullying is a dangerous thing that can't be stop but there is a way to weaken it by standing up for people or even getting help from an adult or someone you trust.
