Bullying is a unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children. Reasons why I chose this issue is because bullying can harm others in different ways, it can lead to anxiety, depression, suicide thoughts, harming themselves(cutting), and even suicide. It’s hard for parents to know when they're kid is being bullied, some parents think that they're kid is doing fine and they have friends to be with. But in reality they could be getting beat up and being called names like slut or pussy.
They may call other people names, physically hit them, or make fun of them. They find causing other people pain humorous. A lot of the time they target people that are different than them. Sometimes bullies pick on kids that are more intelligent than them because they are insecure. No one deserves to be treated like that, you should stop bullying when you see it happening
Main Idea: The harsh reality is that bullying can affect someone’s life so much that they are willing to take it to escape it. Bullying is so prominent online as people can say or do anything and while being anonymous to others. Bullying can also occur to people who don’t necessarily deserve it. Evidence: Amanda Todd took her own life on October 10th, 2012 in her home Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada after months of being bullied and tormented. Amanda was bullied online, at school, and basically wherever she went.
A few things that might lead one to bullying might be that they have been bullied before, and they want others to feel their sadness. Sometimes feeling unimportant and left out can cause bullying. Everyone needs attention and sometimes people who don’t get enough may turn to bullying. It’s also common for a bully to have problems at home. Physical and verbal abuse can affect someone’s mind and cause them to not make the right choices.
Some kids see others at school bullying and they think their status increase up if they bully. They also think they will be in a popular clique. Another reason kids bully is because they are jealous of a person. Most of the time girls are jealous over a boy which causes the tormenting to begin. For example, Phoebe Prince she was bullied for dating popular boys with jealous ex girlfriends.
Bulling Did you know that students may be bullied because they want other people to be hurt because they are hurt or to feel like they are part of a group? Well, it’s true. In the source Tales of Bulling, on Why Bulling Happens stated, “Kids sometimes bully other kids to feel like they are a part of a group,” and, “Some people have a lot of trouble at home and when they go to school … they let it all out.” I feel like bullies want to hurt other people to feel better because I can relate to that.

Children are very observant and they will imitate the language and actions of adults’ .Children who become bullies most of the time are the ones who witness situations where force or verbal outbursts are used to attain respect. The child/children do not understand that bullying other children is wrong. It’s what learned by the child through observing and imitating the actions of the adult.
Let’s get through the basics: Why do kids bully others? “People bully others because they feel bad about themselves, so they make others feel bad to make themself feel better. However, this only lasts for the time it is going on. After that, they go back to feeling bad about themselves. This is why bullying is usually continuous.
Each time bullies hurt other children, they become even more removed emotionally from the suffering of their victims. They learn to vindicate their actions by believing their victims deserve to be bullied. As a result of this, bullies often fail to develop the social skills of sharing, reciprocating and empathizing, which form the basics for lasting friendships. Moreover, children and adolescents who bully others are at an increased risk for substance use/abuse, criminal convictions and being abusive towards partners, spouses or children later in life.
