WHAT IS BULLYING? Bullying is when someone is abused verbally or physically. It can also be called bullying when someone hurts another’s feelings, Even if they state that you are stupid. Bullying can be very hurtful to people’s feelings whether it is verbally or mentally and should be stopped. Bullying happens in schools and almost anywhere. This should be stopped instantly and action should be taken for those that bully. Some people bully because they want attention. They think that picking on someone is cool. They think if they bully people will think they are strong. This is wrong. Bullying some one does not make the bully strong.

Bullying at School This is a quote that a victim of bullying says: "When I was at primary school I got picked on non-stop for two years. No-one talked to me. I hadn't done anything to get blamed for, and I still don't know the reason I got picked on. I wasn't any wealthier or poorer or a different race. I used to cry myself to sleep every night. I was miserable. My parents knew and they talked to the headmaster but he wasn't interested and said he couldn't do anything about it. My parents knew all the bullies' parents. One girl even lived in the same street and we had been friends since we were two. Like a sheep she dumped me because no-one else talked to me. This all happened in primary 6 and I have lost nearly all my self-confidence and hate being on my own. I'd hate to think this was happening to anyone else. I have a fear that if one girl doesn't talk to me they will all start again and it will never stop. I don't want it to go on for the rest of my school life. I couldn't cope."
