Where to start with bullying. I hate it. First and foremost because it is horrible and secondly, because one of my best mates committed suicide last year and bullying was one of the reasons for this. These in particular amongst other reasons, is why i would not and could not ever be a bully. I personally feel ashamed for bullies. They must not have any respect for themselves let alone other people.
A common definition bullying (used in courts) is: A behaviour which 'deliberately intends to hurt, threaten or frighten' a group or individual.http://http//www.coastkid.org/si-wib.html
A number of different types of behaviour aimed towards a person can count as bullying, such as, Name calling, rumours, physical contact (E.G) kicking and punching- just to name a few. There are many more which this website highlights.http://http//www.coastkid.org/si-wib.html
http://http//www.bullyonline.org/workbully/bully.htm highlights some of the reasons as to why people are bulling others. They state that 'inadequacy' and people not being able to face up to this in many senses is a reason why people turn to bulling. I think this is true, but i also feel in my opinion that people become bullies because for example, they might be lonely depressed or because they have been bullied previously. However, I do believe there is NO excuse for a bully. Bullying is wrong plain and simple!
There are many organisation that have been developed to offer support to victims of bullying and even offer support to bullies themselves to overcome this issue they are facing. I think these are really good and productive ways of trying to deal with bullies. The care and support they offer I feel, will considerably help reduce the number of bullies in society.Organisations include :http://http//www.bullying.co.uk/,
Bottom line, I believe bullying should not happen under any circumstance. But then again I think bullying will never stop. For some people it is just a way of life. Bulling is one of the nastiest types of bad behaviour in my opinion, it causes heartache and pain- trust me I know this from experience. Overall, I feel although a lot is done deal with bullying, I personally do not feel its going to fade out anytime soon, there is always going to be that one person who bullies! What do you all think?
