Bullying is the when someone is getting hurt by the use of words or action (at times both) on purpose and could continue for a long period of time, making the person feel horrible and having a hard time coping with different life factors. Bullying is a serious issue that should not be taken lightly and should definitely be addressed to anyone and everyone. When someone is bullied and they aren’t being helped it can lead to serious issues. That’s why I believe it is important to really show students or anyone the cause that bullying can have and the consequences when someone bullies. Bullying is not a joking matter just because someone thinks it's fun to mess around, it's not fun for the victim. That is why bullying should be stopped by one person at a time.
Bullying comes in many forms; physical (hitting, pushing) and emotional (making fun of someone, rumors, sending rude messages). It can occur anywhere such as schools, neighborhood, and on-line and there are different reasons why a person can get bullied such as their gender, looks, socially isolated, disabilities, etc. When a person has been bullied for a long period of time they are at a risk of academic issues and health issues, which later can lead to a loss. There are three roles to bullying the victim, bully, or bystander no matter which one you are you can stop and/or ask for help. No matter what/where a person is or the type of bullying it doesn’t matter no one should be bullied.
A good example of bullying and the risk of being bullied is the movie “Trevor”. “Trevor” is about a 13 year old boy name Trevor that starts having a crush on an older boy name Pinky Faraday and his secret crush get’s out to the school. He starts getting bullied because he’s gay which leads to him wanting to take his life. It shouldn't matter if he is homosexual he should not be bullied for who he is. Trevor had a hard time coping when he found out he was homosexual and because no one was there to support him and make him feel better. The bullying was getting worse and he didn’t think there was a purpose anymore, he tried taking his life due to the bullying and because no one was there to help him feel better. But he was still alive, just by saying “stop!” when you notice someone getting bullied it can slowly lead to the bullying to stop and it can make the victim feel wanted and that someone is there for them.
By watching the movies of bullying I have learned that no matter who it is no one should be bullied. But if you see someone getting bullied to help them and not to be a bystander because just by helping it can have the greatest affect on someone who is thinking of doing something wrong. Bullying is a serious thing that shouldn’t be “someone joking around” because bullying can lead to serious issues for the victim and bully. Everyone should know what to do when someone is getting bullied and they should know not to be bullies. And that it is always best to help someone who is getting bullied because it can help them and make them feel wanted.
A powerful song showing that everyone is special they are "gold" and they shouldn't be ashamed for who they are. No matter what people may tell them they are amazing and show keep their head up.
