The Aggressive Behaviors of Bullying

            Bullying is an aggressive behavior among people who use superior strength to intimidate others. Many kids and adults get bullied every day. Making threats, spreading rumors, or attacking someone physically or verbally are all forms of bullying. All of these things can make you lose your self-esteem and lose your confidence. Can also make you dread going places. Some results can even lead to suicide. Most people will agree that bullying is bad and has gotten more out of control over the years. Bullying can happen anywhere from schools, playgrounds, your neighborhood, or even on the internet. Both people who are bullied and the person bullying both may have serious problems. It can also happen more than once and will keep happening if nothing is done. I however do not agree with bullying and think it is completely wrong. Kids sometimes get tortured just for being who they are.
             Bullies are people who need to hurt, threaten, or fight other people. They are often jealous, angry, and mean. They gain confidence by hurting other people. They have anxiety and are anti-social. They us the excuse that they were provoked that's why they bully. Bullies do not know how to deal with their problems which is why they bully other people. Bullies are not just children but also adults to. They seem to have high self-esteem but are really insecure. Telling yourself that your fat or to skinny is a way of bullying yourself. .
             I believe that bullying has become a big problem in our society. It has definitely become worse over the years. People do not take this seriously because they don't think anything can happen to them. Punishments in schools need to be more enforced so kids don't think its ok to bully. Not only does if effect kids it can affect their parents as well. Verbal abuse seems to be the most used in bullying. Now that kids have better access to the internet spreading rumors online seems to be a lot easier for them to do.
