The Thing about Bullying 

     Bullying comes in many ways. Physical, cyber bullying, and even using words, but none of them are okay. When people are bullied, they are hurt, physically and emotionally. Bullying affects so many people in so many different ways. 

    More than 160,000 kids stay home from school each day to avoid being bullied or harassed. Because of this, kids are not getting the education that they need. The kids who get bullied at school are usually surrounded by bystanders who just stare at them and walk right past. We can help prevent this issue by being more aware of what is going on around us. We need to stand up for them instead of watch them suffer. 

      Another type of bullying is labeling people with stereo types. When you use stereo types it lowers kids self esteem. They need to know that being there selves is a good thing. For example, when you use the stereo type, "like a girl", we want to teach girls that "like a girl" can be made into something different (video at the bottom). 

      Cyber bullying is also a big problem when it comes to bullying. When kids get emails or texts that say things like you're dumb, they start to believe it. This lowers their self esteem. We can fix this by making sure that everyone is aware that this is happening and the consequences of their actions.

         Kids are being bullied all over the world, and so many people are just standing there, watching them suffer. Having enough people to stand up against bullying is not the problem, the problem is that there aren't enough people willing to take the chance.
