Bullying!

Bullying is cruel, heartless and completely unacceptable. I was amazed to read that almost 45% of bullying now takes place online. Not only are children and adults having to put up with the misery of being bullied at school and at work, they have to suffer it in their own homes too. According to a website I found, people bully for a number of reasons. Some people bully as it gives them a feeling of being in control. Some bully because they are unhappy or are being bullied themselves. Some people bully simply to become more popular and to follow the so called, ‘in’ crowds. Bullying can have fatal consequences, as some people resort to committing suicide as they are unable to cope with the daily trauma of being bullied.

I believe there should be firmer measures put in place to both identify and tackle bullies, especially in schools and work places. What gives people the right to make another human being feel miserable, and to make them reach the point where they feel the only way out is to end their life? Bullying is just wrong!
