While some people might not admit it, bullying is a huge problem in our world today. Bullying is aggressive action or behavior targeted at a specific individual with the intention of hurting them physically or mentally. In some cases, the bullies are angry and don't know how to express it. Making someone else suffer with them.
Bullying can occur during or after school hours. It mostly happens during school. Stats show that 43% of bullying is done in the hallways. Being the subject of rumors or lies is the number one cause of bullying in schools. It is usually repeated several times. There are 3 types of bullying. Verbal bullying, Social bullying, and Physical bullying. The most common type of bullying is verbal. This could include things like teasing, name calling, threats and more.
Nothing good can come out of bullying. It could change or ruin a person's life. In fact, It does ruin many kids lives. Hundreds of thousands of children are affected every day in the United States because of bullying. Bullying can happen anywhere, anytime, and to anyone. Most of the time kids don't know that someone is being affected by the bully. In January, two sisters had committed suicide. Only 13 and 15 years old. Their friends had said they had no idea that she was being affected by this guy. This is why it is always important check up on people. We can do things like stand up for kids that are being bullied or tell an adult to help stop it.

Great topic choice and good summary Sammie! The issue is you only replied back a few times and that part is worth 30 points.
In recent years I haven't been bullied as rampantly as I was. This is due to many factors, but when I did get bullied it was the worst. Every thing you did was wrong and worthy of being made fun of, and no one seemed to care. I will always and forever stick up for someone whos being unrightfully talked about (which happens a lot). I may get some backlash for it from the bad people I call out, but its worth it.
I have never experieced bullying at our school. Bullying happens all the time and all around the world. You can try and stop or step up to bullying which helps, but bullying will not just dissappear. Bullying is not something to mess around with because it can ruin lives. I would help someone if they were getting bullied, but I just haven't seen anyone getting bullied.
I have seen a little bit of bullying on a small scale. The biggest thing about bullying is the repitition of it. When people get bullied over and over agian everyday. Thats what affects most people. I personally have tried to help one kid a long time ago. All it took was the mention of bullying and the bullies were off of him after realizing what they were doing to him. I think bullying affects every school because that is just the way some children act in certain situations.
I have not experienced bullying. I’ve never seen it happen to others either but most of the time when people “bully” it’s just a joke between the people. Usually both of the people know it’s a joke but maybe it wasn’t and people didn’t realize it. I have never seen someone get bullied but if someone was getting seriously hurt physically and mentally by someone and I saw it I would help.
I have seen bullying in this school, even if it's on a little scale. No one pays a lot of mind to it though, because if you try to intervene you might get gaslighted into thinking that you are making too big a deal of it, but I don't like seeing other people being hurt and if I see it I try to put a stop to it, but when you do that you might be seen as the bad guy from the bullies for standing up for someone. I don't know if i've personally been bullied, but I would say that I have been harrased in this school.
I don't really think that I've experienced bullying. In the past, I have at times believed that I was being bullied, but as I've grown older I have come to realize that the actions that others took against me were products of actions I took towards them, and weren't aimed at me with malice in mind. I think that while bullying is ideed a problelm, many people have trouble distinguishing between bullying and minor confrontations.
I don't think I've ever faced truly meant bullying, but I have experienced joking bullying where we both know we are joking. I remember a few years ago there was one girl getting bullied and I tried to help, but there is as much bullying that I've seen around me.
I have not personally, but I know that it can happen easily in some situations. I have helped some, but in minor instances where it wasn't anything complicated. These situations are what is more noticable in our school. However, I do not feel like our school is a place where a lot of bullying takes place either. I think school is a safe place for some people and that stops the number of bullying instances here.
I personally have never been bullied at all. I might have seen a little bit of bullying back in elementary school. In my opinion, I don't think bullying is a thing anymore. I don't feel like people do that anymore in this day and age. Kids probably still do it in elementary school, but I never see bullying. Nobody ever talks about it anymore. It has never been a problem for me.
