I feel that bullying is becoming more serious in schools and outside schools. Many weaker, less resistant and mentally disabled students are being bullied by those who are stronger and those who are bigger in size or wealthier. They beat their victims up when they are in groups or when they see someone who is smaller in size than them. Examples of cases of bullying are: extortion, threatening, beating up people and peer pressure. People who are most likely to be bullied are those who are quiet and keep to themselves, those who do not stand up for themselves and allow themselves to be bullied, those who cannot fight back—whether verbally or with actions—like just walking away or answering with a clever response, those with low self-esteem, nerds, those who stand out or look different or have some individuality, those who have trouble fitting in with those around them, teachers’ pets, geeks, irritating students, morons etc. These are opinions of people and they think these are the type of people who are vulnerable to bullying. In schools the students act like adults, not children. The bullies are the students. There are bullies all over. They are insecure, have no sense of humour and all they can do is bully those whom they think are irritating. The quiet ones are most likely the victims of bullies.
