Bullying doesn't have a specific year; it’s one of the oldest problems society has today. Bullying starts at home from personal problems. The author states “Many children and teens are regular victims of bullying, which can lead to serious emotional scarring and problems with the victim's self-esteem and self-image.”1 Students should worry about how they look they should be worry about their education and nothing else. Bullying statistics state “2 Some consider bullying to be purposeful attempts to control another person through verbal abuse - which can be in tone of voice or in content such as teasing or threats - exclusion, or physical bullying or violence, which the victim does not want.”3
Bullying started to expand as the internet started. People started to bully each other through the internet. Today this is called cyber bullying. There are different types of bullying. There is physical, verbal, covert, and cyber bullying. The author says “Over 3.2 millions of students are victims of bullying each year.”4 Theres to much students who are being bullied and some don’t even admit it. The worst part is that most teachers don’t pay attention to the signs, or want to help but don’t know how. The author claims “1 in 4 teachers see nothing wrong with bullying and will only intervene 4% of the time.”5 That’s a lot of teachers that wouldn’t do anything if they saw bullying. Having teachers like this make students feel uncomfortable. They don’t look forward on coming to school. The author claims “Approximately 160,000 teens skip school every day because of bullying. in the united states.”6 Students would rather skip school then face the bully thats how unsafe school is.
The victim of bullying can go through so much. They could fall into depression, have suicidal thoughts, they have trouble keeping up with everyone else and may slack off in school. ABC News reports “According to statistics reported by ABC News, nearly 30 percent of students are either bullies or victims of bullying, and 160,000 kids stay home from school every day because of fear of bullying.”7 Students would rather see their education fall down the drain then try to face their fear. Bullying can also be violent, for example, physically fighting and harming another person. Violent confrontations can start from just playing mean jokes on each other to pushing and hitting. The author states that “Bullying behavior is usually repeated over a period of time until it becomes a pattern.” The author mentions that “Victims often feel helpless and unable to fight back or defend themselves. Bullying can happen anywhere and at any time. While boys are more likely to engage in violence and in physical bullying, girls are more likely to bully through indirect methods like spreading rumors and purposefully excluding others.”8 Bullying can happen two both girls and boys not just one sex. The author states“A large portion of bullying occurs in the classroom, right under the teacher's nose.”9 The author mentions “Bullying can happen anywhere within small groups or big groups.”10 Bullying can happen anywhere but no one expects it. Bullying mostly happens at school because not everyone is going to get along with each other. So bullies seek any flaws or mistakes the victim makes in order to make fun of the victim.
