Bullying by Ebony Fernando

This is a major problem nowadays in schools, colleges, offices and sometimes even in public places. Bullying can be an action of teasing, hitting or even fighting among two or more. Especially in schools children are bullied by one child insulting them with the weak point they’ve got. A person who is bullied gets mentally damaged and weak. For example if a child is not good at mathematics, another child might bully him/her by insulting. The person who bullies another would have a weak point somewhere he/she also can be bullied, though that person wouldn’t notice of. Here I share you an experience of a person I know who was bullied and I accompanied him/her. When I was 10 I had a friend wo never speaks out or studies well, she was bullied by all the children in the class especially boys. But the, one day when I met her I thought of making a change! I wanted her to speak to everyone and study good. When I spoke to her she really didn’t want to speak back to me but however one day she spoke to me and we were best buddies. When she was with me she learnt well and even got new friends, where she started enjoying. At last I was happy that I could change a person who was bullied to a person who can be no more bullied. There are 4 types of bullying: 

1.Verbal Bullying -This is the type of bullying done in schools and public places by using cruel and harsh words against a person including disrespectful comments on one’s attributes such as appearance and ability. The way you can find out whether your child is bullied is when your child is not in a good mood or talks things which are hurtful. 

2.Physical Bullying -This is the bullying where the person who bullies try to mess up with the other person, like the person might break the other’s properties or things. Sometimes this may even lead to fighting which becomes worse. 

3.Cyber Bullying -Cyber Bullying is when a person is bullied through social media. Such of these include- hacking, prank phone calls or texts and even virus attacks. The victim may find it uncomfortable when this happens. Some may even ask permission to do this where the victim doesn’t really know that this is the case. 

4.Social Bullying -This is another type of bully done through online platforms. This happens when the person who bullies uses the victim’s name for rumors and for other uses. This can also include embarrassing a person in front of huge crowds.
