Essay / Physical, Emotional, and Social Bullying - 529
When you think of bullying, what do you think of? Many people think of a child thrown against a locker, or people like me think of a girl who was told she wasn't as strong or pretty as someone else. This is a topic we hear a lot about but it is extremely important and needs to be stopped. There are many types of harassment and unfortunately we can only cover them briefly. The most common and hurtful types of bullying are: physical, emotional and social; There are many ways to solve this problem. Most of the time, bullying comes in three forms. I was bullied, and I'm sure that kid over there was bullied. It's everywhere and it really should stop. Parents and teachers are usually concerned about physical bullying, where someone is hit or hit. I consider intimidation and threats to be of the physical type but that is more of a matter of opinion and you can think otherwise if you wish. Social bullying can be indirect and targets the mind and not the body. If I told you someone was prettier than you and you couldn't date me, I would be considered a social bully. Cyberbullying and social harassment can be used together on the Internet. Facebook and other networking sites are a common place where this happens. Threats and taunts are usually what happens between a cyberbully and a victim. Seemingly innocent comments between friends can be a cause of distress in the mind of the recipient. Be open to noticing any signs of bullying so you understand why it needs to stop. It's likely that people won't have permanent problems because of bullying, but it can happen. When I was bullied, I was threatened, I was told things like "I'm going to kill you." Since this happened, I won't be able to talk to this person like normal people talk to each other. Luckily it stopped pretty quickly after it started thanks to my mother's help, but if it hadn't stopped when it did I would have been a lot worse off. You'd be surprised how much a bully can hurt a person's self-esteem. If you had been bullied and ignored at school, or even at home, would you want to continue? Many children can and will experience bullying, but very few will go as far as suicide, but it must stop completely..
