Reflection on bullying
In my point of view, I think that people bully others because they themselves feel insecure and some just for fun, they do not realize that by doing this, they hurt their victims very much. I think they have no right bullying other people, as every one is equal as everyone is a student in the school.
If I was the victim, I would tell my teacher or my friends, I will not want the bullying go worse and continue, and keeping things bottled up within yourself do not help matters very much and it may also cause me to lose interest in everything I do.
If I was to witness a case of bulling I would tell a teacher immediately and maybe even call the discipline mistress/master for help and seek further help. I will do this because I do not want cases of bullying to affect my fellow schoolmates.
I think that bullying is a very serious case worldwide. There are many types of bullying for example, name calling, teasing and physical bullying for example kicking, hitting or punching their victims .The victims grow up to be full of hatred, and full of depression, they may harm themselves and may become bullies themselves when they grow up, and become anti-social. One good example is the Virginia Tech killing of 33 people led by Korean student Cho Seung Hui.In news it is stated that he was anti-social and the long theme of being ignored by his schoolmates caused him to 'explode' suddenly and in a fit of extreme anger and hatred he led a deadly shooting of his 32 classmates. This shows us the effects of bullying is very serious, and I believe there is not only one such case in the world, bullying must be stopped or the case of the Virginia Tech killing might be repeated again. Schools can be sending some teachers or security guards to patrol around the school and maybe holding assembly talks about bullying, these may aid the prevention of bullying .We can help the victims by counseling them, having peer support, peer mediation, and conflict management to make them confident again and not feel traumatized by the bullying
We can help the bullies themselves by giving harsh punishments and counseling in order not to let them or even other students in the school to repeat it again.
