Bullying



Bullying takes its most common place in schools, although there are different types of bullying in society. Bullying takes place in work , the media, and the home amongst other places and also takes different forms such as verbal, physical, gang and others. Most common in schools, this has been the centre of attention in recent news. One may say that bullying and being bellied is a part of growing up, but it can have severe effects on the bullied and also effect the bully them self. Those who take on the persona of a bully are often going through psychological stress and vent their anger on those weaker of less assertive than themselves. The effects of bullying can also have psychological effects, leading the bullied to possibly become reclusive, timid and fear not only others but also themselves. There are many accounts in the media where not only young, but older people who are bullied have taken their own lives to escape the psychological and physical abuse they endure. Bullying is not at all acceptable in schools or in any other part of society. No one has the right to cause upset to others and more should defiantly be done to help the bullied and bully's put a stop to the act of bullying.
