Fighting Bullying
When most people think of a bully, they imagine boys punching, kicking and hitting one another. One of the common causes of bullying is hunger or adrenaline of power. Most of these bullies believe that if they push people around and make them do what you want them to do, they will get noticed or in other words become popular. However, there are some bullies who do it for the adrenaline rush, such as to hurt people and see the victim cry; they find joy in hurting people. Unfortunately, bullying comes in various forms. There are 3 types of the most common types of bullying found in schools. The first form of bullying is Verbal Bullying. Verbal Bullying uses words, statements, and name-calling to gain power and control over a target. Typically, verbal bullies will use relentless insults to belittle, demean and hurt another person. They choose their targets based on the way they look, act or behave. It’s also common for verbal bullies to target kids with special needs. Verbal bullying is often very difficult to identify because attacks almost always occur when adults aren’t around. In fact, it can leave deep emotional scars. The second form of bullying is physical bullying. Physical bullying is the most obvious form of bullying, this form of bullying includes: kicking, hitting, punching, slapping, shoving and other physical attacks. Unlike the other forms of bullying, physical bullying is the easiest to identify. The Last form of bullying is Cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place using electronic technology. Examples of cyberbullying include: unpleasant text messages or emails, rumors sent by email or posted on social networking sites, embarrassing pictures, videos, websites, and creating fake profiles. What makes bullying dangerous and unethical is not the actual action or technology but it is the way an action or technology is being used; when used wisely bullying can be avoided.
