I've been on both sides of the coin when it comes to bullying. I'll explain. The point is, most people do not know what bullying is. Think about it. When anda are, God forbid it will happen, being picked on, which hurts more. The in-your-face mockery, atau the whispered taunts and insults that come after it has 'stopped', but are right now being used in conversation behind anda that anda feel too powerless and insecure to stop? Most say it's the gossip and whispers. But, anda see, these things berkata behind your back are not meant to hurt anda as such. They are intended as a joke between friends, which is at your expense. Do they realise they are picking on you? No, they are 'having a laugh'. Do they know this is bullying? Next, consider the times anda are out with friends. anda see someone, from your school, atau just someone in general. They have berkata something, they look 'weird', they dress oddly. anda can't help but giggle with your friends. Each one of anda under pressure to impress the others. Do anda realise anda are picking on them? No, anda are 'having a laugh'. Do anda know this is bullying? Secondly, bullying creates bullying. Again, I'm going to ask anda to think. When anda have been bullied, recently atau not so recently, does anything feel better than not being victimised, than finding the faults in others? Doesn't that make anda feel better about yourself, because anda are the cool one, anda are in power? I know it will be hard for people to admit to doing these things, but be honest, because we can only stop bullying if we come clean and make a personal change. We must address the roost of the problem- ignorance and low self-esteem. Only then will we be able to stop bullying.
