Bullying: the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual.

Bullying has become one of the biggest problems for kids and teens in America and around the world. People disagree on how to deal with bullying. Do we let bullying go and forget all about it? Or do we stop it before it gets even worse?
Bullying has started to become one of the major problem in our worlds youth. Bullying includes, teasing, talking about hurting someone, spreading rumors and gossiping, leaving others out on purpose, attacking someone physically or verbally, and racism and discrimination. Kids who are bullied have a hard time standing of for themselves. They are usually criticized for what they look like, what they wear, and what they do. Usually kids who get bullied are the kids that are too weak and scared to say anything back to bully.


There sadly is more than one way of bullying. There is also cyberbullying, a way of bullying online. Kids on Facebook and other online programs send other kids harsh words such as, f**, s***, b****, etc. These terrible harsh words make others feel nasty and alone on the inside. There is also physical bullying, a way of beating up another kid for no reason at all. In Argentina, a 18 year old girl was beat up outside her school and killed by three other kids who had been bullying her for many months.Those 3 girls were later sentenced to life in prison.   

As I stated before, Bullying has become a major problem for kids around the world. I think bullying is terrible and should be stopped right away, but sadly its going to take a lot more than just one community coming together to end bullying around the world.
