*Bullying
In school*
Bullying is a problem that has been going around for a while now. It is
affecting kids from all over. There are various reasons why bullying should
be taken care of throughout the schools nationwide. Some reasons why it
affects students is because when bullied a lot you start to get in depression,
you have health complaints and sometimes even drop their grades. These
reasons clearly demonstrates why bullying is so harmful.
First of all, Bullying happens to many people from all over. There is
times when you dont even notice that its bullying. According to an article
called STOPBULLYING.COM they state some results of bullying can be
Depression. This is important because depression always leads to anxiety. A
student who experiences anxiety usually tend to be more quiet and lonely.
They try and talk less and just change completely. They dont act like
themselves anymore. According to livescience it reads that kids live in
silence because they are afraid to speak up since they are always being put
down.
Second of all, A lot of students who get bullied usually start to feel like
there having health issues. Bullies would hit , kick, spit things at other
students and the victims would have bruises , cuts and according to the

article The Clinic for Health Problems Related to Bullying it states that victims of bullying
would get back pain, headaches , dizziness. This is important because Lot of kids suffered a lot
back when bullying use to be seen as something normal throughout the schools.

Third of all, one of the most important unhealthy result of bullying is
that kids have mental problems. The article Stopbullying.com states victims
of bullying even have suicidal thoughts or even try to kill there classmate
who bullies. The article also states that during the 90s there were about 1215 shootings cases about bullying. This is huge because thanks to this topic
people have lost there life.
Fourth of all, these scholars usually drop their academic grades. Their
grades start to descend and they lack in participation. They sit in class and
dont like to talk to anyone they just sit and think. Most of the time these kids
think to themselves about hurting their bullies. A good 70% of victims skip
class, dont show up and some even drop out because theyre to scared to
show up and get bullied by their classmates. Theres been times where even
professors at university bully on there students.

According to the cite ESchool it is a fact that kids bully other because
of lack of attention from friends or family members or maybe bullies react
this way as in hurting others because they could be having family issues
where the dad is violent as well and hits the mother or maybe even bullying
among siblings. I feel thats one of the biggest reasons why Bullies

Sometimes they act such a violent way. Parents dont pay attention to their
kids and thats why they act up because they want attention. Maybe they
dont have friends or are jealous of certain things that makes them want to
hurt other students. The article stopBullies.com states Bullies, who dont
get help usually get more violent and can lead to risky behaviors in their
adulthood. Many of these things can be like abuse of alcohol and other
drugs. Get into fights and vandalize property and eventually drop out of
school. They

are also Very sexually active at a very young age and could even be violent
towards their spouse, kids and family. This is important because it slowly
rising higher and higher and young kids shouldnt be in this situation.
Especially girls because thats how lots of girls end up pregnant because
they feel they dont get attention and try to get attention by their
boyfriends and end up having kids at a very young age.
I Know most bullies might view bullying as something normal and
might just be fun and games but its just more than that. People are really
been hurt throughout many different ways. I know this because when I was
in high school I was a bully and I was bullied so I know how it feels to be put
down.
Bullying has been around for a long time. Back in the 90s bullying was
seem just as something small and fun and games and just as something
normal. According to the source Dailymail, it talks about how sometimes

bullying should be normal because it supposedly it helps students mature

faster. I totally disagree because bullying might not seem harmful but it can
definitely cause trauma.
We all need to stop acting childish and have some compassion for
innocent children who have to put up with things like bullying. We all know
thousands of kids are being victim throughout the whole world. It is
something we should think about and make a change in this world.
