Bullying

So, what is bullying?

• According to wikipedia, bullying is the use of force, threat or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggresively dominate others.
• And another source says that bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. 

I think, bullying is a behaviour that makes the person that being bullied feel afraid or uncomfortable. Bullying happens when there is someone who thinks that he/she is higher that the person that being bullied and then tried to scares or hurts the person on purpose and the person that being bullied has a hard time defending themselves.

Do you know the effects of getting bullied? It makes people upset. Bullying can make the person who are being bullied feel lonely, frightened, etc. It can even make them sick!
And, if the bullying isn't stopped, it could also effect the bystanders. Bystanders will afraid that they can be the next victim. And they will avoid getting involved in order to protect themselves.

Why do I know this? Because I had experienced it when I was in junior high school. It's a verbal bullying.
Oh, I forgot to tell you the four most common type of bullying :

1. Verbal bullying : it's a bullying that use name-calling, sarcasm, spreading rumours, teasing, threatening, etc.
2. Social bullying : it's a bullying that humiliate others in public, excluding others from a group, etc.
3. Physical bullying : Well, it's already clear that physical bullying involves hitting, chasing, shoving, destroying or stealing belongings, etc
4. And cyber bullying : it's a bullying that using gadget to intimidate, spread rumours or making fun of someone.

So, from those 4 type of bullying, I was bullied with verbal bullying and social bullying. Maybe it was because back then, I'm some kind of a nerd. But now, i have changed. Although there's still some verbal bullying going around me, but it's not as bad as when I was in junior high school. I still can handle it.

But, not everyone can fight and stand up for themselves. And that's why, we have to help them. We have to create peace around us, and in the community where we stand. We have to respect others and we have to be brave to stand up for people that being bullied.

And for the people who get bullied, be brave! Don't be afraid of bullying, try to stand up for yourself. And the most important thing, make friends.
