cyberbullying

 I remember when I got bullied in the 6th grade.  I was a quite girl who stayed to herself, and only talked to a little bit of people once in a while.  So, the other girls didn't really like me they called me phony, and all types of malicious names. Although I've never been physically bullied I've been emotionally and mentally bullied.  The kids growing up did not understand that words do hurt and could drive somebody crazy.  For example, my sister was cyberbullied last year the kids had took her picture off of facebook, printed it out with malicious words.  My sister was destroyed she cried so much and hurt so much. It was a point in time when she was just going to give up.
     
 Although bullying isn't easy to deal with there are ways to help prevent and stop it. The best ways to do that is to collectively show bullies that they have no power over the people they try and torment. Lets say that in a school there's about 10 bullies and 200 other students, and a full staff. If those 200 students stand their ground, and those staff members take the appropriate steps to punish bullies, then eventually the "threats" that bullies have over people will die out. Also it's the job of all parents to make sure that their kids aren't bullying people or being bullied. A lot of bullies learn to be violent or talk badly of others after seeing it from their parents. In my community a lot of the African American parents curse in front of their kids. They also fight in front of them and argue with other people. Growing up in an environment like that only continues the cycle. 

          After all it is up to the community as a whole to end bullying. In our modern age bullying has become so serious that it's considered a crime.  If people would stop worrying about outer beauty, money, and popularity then we wouldn't have to worry about who's better than who. At the end of the day we're all people.For this law may reduce bullying at an outstanding rate. There is multiple things teachers and schools can do like announce that it is unacceptable and that if any one needs help or needs to talk can step forward and there would be full confidentiality.  Then if that student is brave enough to step forward and speak on their own behalf.  I see the problem stopping eventually. Maybe the school can also create a "Bully Class," which would give examples of bullying and some solutions.  Society is so indenial they wouldn't know bullying if it stared them in the face.  Our society is so messed up that they think that bullying is right and it isn't bullying is just playing around or hiking. This problem is getting better,  because now bullying awareness is on the news and in schools. There is an improvement because it is bullying has been noted as tolerated.
