BULLYING AT SCHOOL
According
to me, bullying at school has become a nightmare for students. Bullying is a
big problem that common happens in School between a student and a student or
even worse between a group of students with only a student.
School bullying occurs in every
area worldwide. It can occur at any time during the school hours and anywhere
in the school building. Bullying can be physical,
verbal,
or emotional.
Bullying really affects to student who
gets bullied and yet because parents, teachers, and other
adults don't always see it, they may not understand how extreme bullying can
get.
Students
who get bullied wake up with fears in the morning to go to school. They are
afraid that they will get bullied at school in some ways, such as in physical
bullying for examples hitting, punching, pulling hair, kicking, pushing,
or in verbal bullying by teasing them with rude or harsh
words, cursing them or name calling to intimidate them and the last in
emotional bullying by spreading malicious rumors about them .
Two
of the main reasons the students are bullied are because of appearance and
social status. For example a student with low social status and study in a high
class school with scholarship may get bullied because the Bullies think that
the student doesn’t fit to be a student of that school, and bullies usually do
bullying on how a student looks like or if the bullies think that the student is
gay or lesbian.
Bullying
is a big problem that affects to students who get bullied. Bullying is
violence, and it often leads to more violent behavior as the bully grows up. Studies
show that people who are abused by their peers are at risk for mental health
problems, such as low self-esteem, stress, depression, Feeling as if
their life has fallen apart, anxiety and Excessive stress. In the long term it
can lead to posttraumatic stress disorder,
mental illness such as psychopathy, and an inability to
form relationship, and the worse, they may also think about suicide more. Some teen bullies end up being rejected by
their peers and lose friendships as they grow older. Bullies may also fail in
school and not have the career or relationship success that other people enjoy.
According to the American Psychological Association,
approximately 40% to 80% of school-age children experience bullying at some point
during their school careers
There
is evidence that bullying increases the risk of suicide.
It is estimated that between 15 and 25 children commit suicide every year in
the UK alone, because they are being bullied.
Sometimes the student who becomes the victim
of repeated bullying cannot control the need for revenge and the situation
becomes dangerous for everyone.
Dombeck
says that as a forty-year-old man, he still feels the effects of the bullying
he received as a ten-year-old. Every day, he would dread riding the bus home from
school because he was bullied by the older children on the bus. That fact shows
us how bullying affects the students so much. It is hard to erase the memory of
being bullied. The physical bullying may get erased as they grow up but the scars
in their hearts…it needs big effort to erase it.
Despite occasional assertions that bullying can be positive and even productive, the avowed normative consensus is that bullying is a form of abuse and is wholly negative. Bullying is a violence and it is obvious caused scars for a long time to students who get bullied.
So Once Again Bullying at School is a big no.
