SOME THOUGHTS ON BULLYING – Α` ΛΥΚΕΙΟΥ

- In my opinion, bullying is not only the kid’s fault, it’s also the way the parents have raised him/her. When kids bully, it’s mostly because they feel insecure about themselves, and to get over it they try to make others feel the same way.

- Bullying is the worst thing a human can do to a person. Usually people look down on someone who is completely different from them. They don’t understand that being different is an important advantage. We are all born different, so that makes bullying unnecessary! However, the people who bully need to be punished so as to understand their awful mistake, to actually feel the pain they cause to others.

- It is an undeniable fact that an increasing number of children gets bullied everyday at school. This fact is very stressful and may cause many mental problems to the victim, such as depression, anxiety and a constant sense of fear. All forms of bullying need immediate action.

- Bullying comes in many forms, like verbal, physical, cyberbullying etc. All forms can cause serious problems not only to the person who is bullied but also to the people around him / her. Although most bullies are people with psychological issues themselves, there’s no excuse for turning their insecurities into bullying innocent victims.

- It is clear that no one in this world is born a bully, something triggers it. Sometimes it’s a family that neglects a child, not setting the right boundaries. If the parents don’t pay attention to the child, it is inevitable that he/ she will turn out to be a person that doesn’t care about anyone’s emotions or feelings. Another factor is the friendships someone makes in their teen years. Sometimes a person tries to impress his / her friends by doing something extreme, without realizing the consequences.

- Bullying is a serious issue that affects many people and it is important to have a realistic opinion about it. Bullying happens when someone repeatedly hurts, threatens or picks on another person on purpose. It’s not just a part of growing up, it’s a harmful behaviour that can have long-lasting effects. My feelings on bullying are very negative. The fact that there are people whose only purpose is to ruin another person’s day is sickening! I feel very bad when I see someone getting bullied, because I know I cannot do anything about it. If I stand up for them, the bully will turn his rage on me.

- I myself used to be a victim of bullying when I was younger. Fortunately not physical, just verbal. Other students would make fun of me and curse me for no particular reason. It really affected me but at the same time it made me stronger. From then on, whenever someone tries to make me feel bad about myself, I just ignore them.

- I have never been bullied personally, but that doesn’t mean that I am not sensitive about it. Bullies are kids with a bunch of insecurities regarding themselves and they are searching for acceptance from others to feel confident. By making others feel useless or unwanted, they feel like they can control their emotions, depending on their personal mood. As I see it, bullying may not be considered a crime, but it should be. Bullies may not destroy or steal something, but they cause emotional damages, which is worse, and it should be faced like a crime.

- For me, bullying is when someone is being hurt by actions and words on purpose. Basically, they are victims of hatred. The people that are bullied can develop loneliness depression, anxiety and most importantly, even have suicidal thoughts.

- Bullying is very serious and no one should avoid this big social issue. Avoiding people who are being bullied, in a way, makes you a bully.

- The acceptance of bullying is indefensible when considering the profound harm it inflicts on the victims. By declaring bullying as unacceptable, we take a decisive step towards creating a world in which kindness, understanding and compassion prevail and where individuals can contribute positively to the wellbeing of our society.

- When someone is being bullied, it may not always be obvious. A few signs may be losing their belongings under unknown circumstances, having cuts or bruises, losing their appetite and not wanting to go to school. In that case, a parent must worry about their child and investigate the symptoms by talking to the child or to the teacher. 

- But what should people who are bullied or who see someone being bullied do? At first, the ones who get bullied need to speak up and get help from friends and family. They shouldn’t be afraid of their bullies’ threats but they should stand up for themselves and try to fight back. As for the ones who see someone get bullied, they have to stand up for the victim and take them away from the bullies. Also, they could try to inform someone about the situation such as a teacher or a parent in order to find a solution to the problem.
