Bullying
When we look at the classic bully, we normally think of people who physically abuse their victims. Although this is a common form of bullying, it also comes in the form of mental abuse.
When people are under constant mental abuse, often it will take a bigger toll on their life in the long run. According to http://www.americanspcc.com, bullying can continue to affect a person all the way into adulthood. Physical abuse is bad but it has a more short-term effect. No matter what the type of abuse, bullying is wrong and unacceptable.
Contrary to the common belief about bullying, it does not stop at a certain age. There will always be bullies. Bullies are cowards because they always target people who they think are weak or have low self-esteem. A bully usually will never pick on people who will defend themselves. Bullies only pick on others because they themselves have low self-esteem.
Many people do not realize part of the problem with bullying is that people who observe the bullying and do nothing are just as much to blame. When there is a chance to make a difference, people should seize the opportunity. According to http://www.americanspcc.com, 6 out of 10 American youths observe bullying once a day. Should anyone say something to a bully or just let the abuse go? Think about it.
It is a shame that there are still bullies in college, as students are supposed to be developing into the future for our country. Is the future of our country really in the hands of a bunch of inconsiderate bullies? That’s not such a nice future if you think about it. The future of this country should be left in the hands of a difference maker, someone who would not stand for this bullying. So remember, the next time you see someone being bullied, do something about it; be a difference maker.
