BULLYING

Bullying is a very serious situation that should be taken notice. It may seem natural for some people that it
is part of a child growing up but no, it can cause mild anxiety problems to truancy to incidents of deadly violence. And
for those kids who are prone to television, films, cartoons etc. that is related to bullying and physical harassment may
adopt that kind of behavior. According to my research, ABC News state that nearly 30 percent of students are either
bullies or victims of bullying, and 160,000 kids (nationwide) stay home from school every day because of fear of bullying.
There are kinds of bullying, cyberbullying, physical bullying, verbal bullying, and social bullying.

Firstly, not long after the pandemic started, Social Media bullying or we so called “Cyberbullying.” Has one
of the questions have been asked most often over the last 18 months is whether bullying has gotten better or worse
since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Early on, there was a concern that cyberbullying incidents would increase as
youth were spending more time online. Additionally, many young children were perhaps given premature access to
technology with inadequate support or supervision as schools hurriedly moved to virtual educational activities and
parents simply needed to survive the extended time children had at home. On the other hand, we have long known that
bullying online is often connected to bullying at school and therefore fewer students at schools might translate to fewer
problems online.

Secondly, is “Physical Bullying” physical bullying occurs most often at school, though it can also occur on the
way to and from school and after school. Middle school is the age when bullying is most common, with almost all middle
school students being affected directly or indirectly by bullying. This is an age where young people want more to fit in
with their peers, making some students more likely to bully or condone bullying to fit in, while those who don’t fit in
stand out more as victims. Bullying can also occur in earlier grades, as well as through high school and even into
adulthood.

Thirdly, is “Verbal bullying” it is often intended to degrade or demean the target in some way. It may cause
the bully to feel powerful or in control of their target. Verbal harassment may accompany physical, sexual, or emotional
bullying or abuse. A bully might target a specific child or adult due to their weight, gender, sexuality, race, appearance,
or another reason. Verbal bullying can affect individuals in varying ways. It might cause self-esteem concerns, stress, or
mental health symptoms. Studies show that bullying can also cause post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

And lastly, is “Social Bullying” it is when a person tries to hurt another person's relationships or reputation.
This harms the targeted person’s mental health because it affects their sense of belonging. Part of human nature is the
desire to feel accepted as a member of a group. Social bullying can happen online or in person. Because social bullying
can be indirect or direct, it can be hard to identify.

In conclusion, parents must give attention to their kids as they grow up, Kids learn from adults’ actions. By
treating others with kindness and respect, adults show the kids in their lives that there is no place for bullying. Even if it
seems like they are not paying attention, kids are watching how adults manage stress and conflict, as well as how they
treat their friends, colleagues, and families.
