Introduction to the Problem
Bullying is a problem in almost all schools however the scale of the bullying varies,
it still doesn't change that any form should be stopped. There are several factors
that can push start bullying such as, jealousy, outside personal issues, victim
showing weakness, or cultural differences. It seems that a presence of any of
these factors encourage bullying. The biggest part is the problem that younger
people have showing empathy towards others and just assuming the person just
wants attention. These forms of bullying can either be physical or emotional
sometimes both.

through the same thing.

● Fight Back
○ Look them in the eye and stand straight, show them it bothers you.
● Walk Away
○ Don’t let them get to you or use you as a mat. YOU DON’T CARE!!!!

 Conclusion
Bullying has become a major problem in modern society. Before it was
something that only occurs physically, and verbally, but with recent development
of new technology, bullying has become more common, but is also hidden more.
Everyone as a society must come together to help bring light to this situation, and
come up with a solution to this. By bringing awareness to it, we can help make
sure that, not only is our school a safe place where students will feel comfortable
studying in, but also that social media becomes a source of enjoyment for
everyone.
