I think that bullying is a sign of weakness for both the bullies and the bullied. The bullies bully cause they wanted to have the power to control the other party. Bullying the weak ones will make them feel a sense of power that they could do anything to them, beat them up, crash them up. This could show that they are in need of power, in need of attention. Those that were bullied, are weak and could not defend for themselves.
Bullying mainly consists of the bullies beating the bullied, telling them to do homework or they will hurt them, telling them to help them to cheat during tests and so on. If not, the consequence will be themselves walking home with bumps and bruises on their heads. Bullying is a violence act, and the causes of it to happen is the bully cannot get to do what he wants to do, so he would pose as a threat to the others that if they don’t help him to get the job done, they will beat them up if the job is not well done. It’s just like a boss and a worker, if the worker does not do well like the way his boss wants, they will get fired, just that bullying has much more violence.
Usually, the bullied does not dare to tell anyone that they had been bullied. They are afraid that when the bully found out, they would get beaten again. However, if they were to think otherwise, it could totally solve the problem. If the teachers and principal knew about this incident, they could counsel the bullies and keep a watch out on them. Plus, the bully might not possibly only bully one person. Thus, the more people they bully, the more it’s hard for them to guess who’s the person who told the teachers and principal. If everything went successfully, the bullied will not only prevent himself from being bullied, but also the others who was bullied by the bully as well.
Bullying might seemed cool to a few people, cause they can treat them the way they want it. Bullying is contagious, spreading out fast and furiously. It’s like a new trend. However, they are also some cases that people bullying as they wanted to be in the crowd, with the people which is so-called “ friends ”. As they wanted to hang out with the “ friends ” , they went to bully the weaker students just to be able to mix with the crowd.
In conclusion, bullying is a bad thing, for both the bully and the bullied. All of us should not bully the weaker friends around us but instead, help him and train himself to be a better person. If we were bullied, we must not be afraid to go up and report to our parents and the teachers, it might not only prevent the problem, but also we could help the others that were also been bullied by him to be “free” and change the bully to a better person.
