Bullying

Bullying is a nowadays problem. Little children, teenagers and adults suffer because of this. What do we mean by bullying? In this problem there are two sides. The first one is the side of the victims and the other one is the side of the bullies. The bullies are the one who take advantage of their height, weight, physical appearance or their popularity and they make fun of other kids, teenagers or adults. The victims are the ones who are repeatedly attack in many ways for the bullies. The victims can suffer verbal attack, physical attack or even indirect attacks, like being ignore or something like that.

I think this is a very difficult problem to solve, because in most cases you can’t recognize who the bullies are. Also, I think the victims are not the only ones who suffer. The bullies suffer too. In most cases the ones who attacks or the ones who make fun of their classmates or friends have their own problems. They have problems with thei self esteem or perhaps they have problems at home. Who knows, but we have to learn how to help the victims of bullying and how to help the bullies as well.

I remember when I was a little girl. During those days I suffered a lot because of a small group of girls who dedicated all their day bothering to my classmates and me. Me and my friends talked to the teacher about what was happening during the brakes and in the classroom. Fortunately our teacher helps us to solve our problem. She made us talked with the class and explain to that girls group that what they were doing was not OK. Nowadays we are all good friends.
