 INTRODUCTION

Bullying used to be thought of a playground hazard, perhaps even an essential rite of passage
Mercifully times have changed and there is increasing recognition that bullying can affect
anyone of whatever age from childhood to adulthood,and that it makes lives miserable and
unpleasant Bullying cannot be explained, it can only be experienced.Everyone is a victim of
bullying, I was a victim of bullying. Never did I imagine being one of the many that has had to
deal with this. Bullying occurs all across the United States, but most do not realize the causes
and effects it hason certain students. Bullies choose to bully because they get awarded for their
actions, they do not care how others feel, or they might come from dysfunctional families. With
a cause there is always can affect.Bullying comes in many different forms, from cyber bulling to
physical bullying. It’s all wrong and it has to stop. Bullying has a real negative effect on the
victim’s life. Those who are constantly bullied can be pushed to the breaking point, where they
could end up hurting themselves or others.Why do students bully their class mates? I believe
students bully other because they are insecure and lack confidence. They use bullying tactics to
impress other students. Bullies thrive on attention they get from their fellow classmates. Their
hurtful actions make them feel powerful and popular. Bullies pick on students who they think are
weak in physical stature, unpopular with their peers, easily intimated, or discriminated
against.Bullying occurs on a regular basis in many schools. It’s usually started by the same
person or a ring leader who gets a few other students to join in on the bullying. Unfortunately,
the majority of students are spectators who act like the “peanut gallery” laughing out loud or
snickering behind the victim’s back. The “peanut gallery” may not directly bully the victim, but
by standing on the sidelines giving their attention to the actions they encourage they bully. Even
though I am not a bully, I have been part of the “peanut gallery” that makes bullying an even
worse situation.The “peanut gallery” are students that can make a positive change to stop
bullying.As students, we can take action to stop bullying in our schools and I have some ideas to
make this happen. I and a group of students would dedicate one week at the beginning of the
school year to hold an anti-bullying campaign called “Bully Beatdown.” The “Bully Beatdown”
campaign would raise awareness to the issues of bullying. For the campaign kick-off, I would
hold a rally for students to share their personal stories and experience with bullying. I would
invite a counselor or a psychologist specializing in anti-social behavior to speak at the rally about
the effects of bullying. The person could train students on anti-bullying tactics.During the “Bully
Beatdown” campaign, I would have students perform skits acting out different bullying scenarios
and ways they can stop bullying such as befriending a victim of bullying. To promote my
campaign, I would pass out information flyers andpamphlets, buttons, and signs to post
throughout the school in bathrooms, gyms, lunchrooms, and hallways.not participate in bullying
of any kind, to stand up for the victims of bullying, to not be a bystander to bullying, and to
report bullying to teachers or a responsible adult.I would create an organization called “Bully
Guardians” which is a community of students who act as a support network for students targeted
by bullies. The students who were spectators to bullying can become a “Bully Guardian.”
Many students are afraid to report bullying incidents they observe because they might become
targets themselves. I would create an “Anonymous Email System” for those students who don’t
want to report an incident in-person to a teacher or the principal. The student could send an email
explaining the bullying incident they saw or encountered.After the campaign kick-off, I propose
that each month schools devote a day to bully awareness and to report on the progress they’ve
made to stop bullying. I believe my plan of action is practical and easy to implement in schools.
 Statement Of The Problem

Bullying is an issue that has been affecting many in the worls today.It takes place in many forms
some of which are direct and include physical harm on the victim. Verbal bullying involves
name calling and insults or threats being directed at the victim and may also involve emotional
bullying where the victim’s emotions are targeted by the bully.
