Bullying is a very harmful thing and 67% of teens have been bullied or are being bullied. There are ways we can stop bullying. In my writing, you're going to be learning about why people bully, how it makes people feel when they are being bullied, How many people are being bullied and how we can stop bullying from happening.
Bullying happens because of many differnt reasons.
People don’t bully people for no reason and the reason normally isn’t you. A lot of bullying happens because they have problems going on in their lives and they need to get their Emotions out but hey end up taking it out on other people. “It also scientifically proven that the reason people get bullied is never, contrary to popular belief, because of the unique characteristics of the person experiencing the bullying.” Bullies don't just bully anyone. People like to pick on the kids that don't have a lot of friends and that might also be a little overweight, maybe their skin color is different and they might not have the best looks.
In 2011 60% of middle schoolers have been bullied but only 25% of the time a teacher or parent has done anything about it. 12 out of 20 kids said that they have been bullied.
This is how it makes people feel when they are being bullied.
When people are being bullied a lot of times they don't really realize it at first. Even if people know that they are being bullied they don't tell anyone. 58% of kids don't tell a parent or teacher their being bullied. A lot of kids don't want to tell a parent or teacher that they are being bullied because they don't want to be a tattle tail for example there was only 1 kid who told a teacher that he was being bullied but there were 14 others that didn't tell a teacher because they didn't want to get in trouble or get in all the drama that they would have to deal with if they had told a teacher. If you don't tell a parent / teacher the bully feels that they can get away with it so they keep building kids. It is very important to tell a teacher or parent especially if they were being abusive.
Most bullies don't bully when there is a teacher any wear near them.”Most bullying is done when teachers cannot see it. Bullying is opportunistic for the simple fact that if teachers see it they can stop the bullying. Bullies know that teachers cannot see every interaction, and at times are willing to overlook or minimize what they do see so they can get on with teaching.”(Scornavacco)
When someone is being bullied it can really affect them some examples are, feeling like their alone, They might have mental health issues like anxiety or depression, they may make them want to skip or drop out of school. 18.6% out of 25.3% of students drop out of school because of being bullied. Being bullied may also cause physical problems and or thoughts of suicide.

Bullying is very harmful but there are way's we can stop it.
How can adults help stop bullying? Adults need to teach their kids about bullying and how to handle it. If a kid comes to their parent saying that they have been bullied the parents need to talk to a teacher in the school so that they can get in touch with the bullies parent and once the bully has been caught he or she probably won't do it again cause they know what trouble they can get in.
How can kids help stop bullying? Kids first need to know how bullying affects others. They need to know how it feels and I'm not saying that they should be bullied so they know how it feels,but the kids need to take into consideration others feelings. Some kids bully because they have problems going on in their lives but the kids should ask a teacher
