Reflection on Bullying


Bullying differ from just harassment and assault. Bullying accumulation over of many small incidents over a long period may cause the victim being depressed because of the treatment he received though these trivial incidents. Therefore, bullying must be prevented and stopped.

Bullying occurred in many places such as the working places, in school and by strangers. Why do the people bully others? The reason is that they may have poor or no role models to follow. When they have no role model, the child had no opportuninty to learn well. This will lead them to bully others as they did not learn to go the right track.

They can also be abused in home to lead them to give out the frustration they has received. As bullying causes the other party to receive bad treatment, they can feel better because they know well that there is always a person who is receiving the same treatment as them.

It can be also that the child had undue influences. Sometimes a child is forced or persuaded to join some gangs. This causes them to have bad influence and followed the footsteps of the gangsters. They tend to bully others as they felt that that was “cool”. Hence, they will be accepted into the gang.

Bullying is not a small matter but a very serious offence. A child under being bullied will turned out to be a bad person as he was depressed. A child can also bully others when he/she was being bullied. Usually, bullies are often bigger in size. They will choose a person who is weaker than them to bully. They can catch the point that the victim will not inform the teacher. Thus, when you are bullied, do not hesitate to report to teachers or parents to allow them to take actions against such acts. It maybe a simple thing but it is very useful.

Hence, when being bullied, do not suffer in silence.
