Stop the Bullying!

Once a social, happy-go-lucky kid gets bullied, they tend to turn into a lonely, introverted pre-teen. This can cause many affects and damage on a child. Rather it's there appearance, the way they walk, talk and speak can be very dramatizing. No child or teen should have to go through such torture from a bully. We are all different in every aspect. We were made that way. It would be no fun to be exactly the same.

Why do bully's torture other kids? First off, it gives them power. Power that they can't take from there own daily life at home because they are not getting enough attention. Or they are getting the wrong attention and they need to take it out on someone else. These bully's are not just bully's, they are also humans. They may be experiencing some emotional set back in life and they don't know how to reach out to someone for help.

Once signs are shown of a bully, try your best to reach out to these bully's before terminating them. This can possibly save a bully from hurting anyone before it happens, or ever again. It also saves the victims of the bully's and helps make school and other surroundings a safer place.

Bullying can happen anywhere and to anyone. It doesn't have a particular look. It is a universal problem faced by kids of every age. You all know that famous saying "We must be the change we wish to see in the world" - Mahatma Gandhi.

There are so many ways to get help with bullying now and days. Schools are meant to promote school safety, improve truancy rates, and reduce school violence, among other things. The law specifically requires schools to create certain policies for prevention, training, and enforcement concerning behavior that may lead to bullying. Students who violate anti-bullying provisions face suspension and expulsion; whereas schools and districts may face large monetary fines arising out of civil liability claims.
