Bullying

I know that nowadays everyone is talking about this issue, and many people have different opinions about it, but the movie we saw bring a new perspective to it, with critical consequences.

Kids can be mentally scarred if they are teased often. Even worse, they could be killed or fatally injured if the bullying gets extreme. There are many causes for bullying which must be taken care of before bullying can be stopped. T.V. violence, families in poverty are just several of the many serious causes for bullying. Bullying must be stopped or prevented no matter how long it will take, it is a deeply concerning matter. Bullying does not always have to be childish play, it can be extremely violent. People may be bruised, injured, or even killed, as we saw in the movie. Children took part in the revenge of someone who wanted justice, but just by her own hand.. Kids under bad influence may turn very violent. Parents, relatives, friends, T.V., music and pictures may all influence people, especially when they are depressed or are in a lowered state of mind.

One of the boys said that he had never learnt that killing was wrong, he just was

trying to prove something to himself, but according to this we can infer that cooperation from childrens parents is really important, some parents actually encourage their children to fight to look cool or dont teach them properly. Kids must take their own

initiative, as well, they must find out whats wrong and whats right for themselves sometimes. Many kids dont take bullying seriously. However, when a real incident occurs, they are unprepared, shocked, regretful, or dead. Bullying must stop, for it is destroying the lives and futures of many innocents, perhaps not killing them, but ruining them. People may end up physically distorted, paralysed, or dead because of bullying. Aside from physical harm, there is also mental harm.

Although some of these examples of effects may not seem too serious, they really are. Commonly, there are incidents where bullied students go to school and slaughter many people and eventually kill themselves. Dozens of innocent kids have been killed in these types of incidents because one or several kids bullied a student. Most of these incidents occur because a group of kids thought it was cool to bully, or just to show off. But in this case they were encouraged by the teacher, who allowed them to be part of her punishment to the kids.

Its necessary that we, as teachers, we can dominate this kind of problem inside the classroom, we must be prepared to help the ones who are being bulled, and raise awarenness of the consequence that bullying can bring. If people are not aware of these potential consequences, they may have their lives ruined or shattered, or even worse, live to see their family or friends suffer. This bullying must be stopped and prevented before more lives are taken.
