Bullying - being unkind to others.

Konstantinova Olga is writing...

Everyone has the right to feel safe. But very often this right is violated. One of the big problems in and out of schools nowadays is harassment or bullying.
Being bullied happens to lots of kids (more than you would think) and it can be very scary. It can make some kids feel so miserable that they don't even want to go to school because teasing can be really hurtful and can change your life.
People often tease others because they feel powerful when others seem to be afraid of them. They like to be the centre of attention and they can't think how else to do it. They don't have many ideas about how to get along with others. They think that it's OK to pick on some kids.
People who are bullies when they are little kids may grow up to be worse bullies when they are big kids. Some bullies use words to hurt the feelings of their victim and some like to hurt people's bodies.
People who are sensitive, may cry or get upset being bullied. People who are bullied often feel scared, lonely and hopeless. These people may be bad at school work. They sometimes run away from school or home.

I think that this is not correct. It is necessary to punish such students.
I think that they themselves are so only because they want to stand out from the crowd.

I do not understand why children can be hurt at school. In my opinion it is terrible.
All children are equal and nobody can discriminate others. I am shocked that in our school 78% of students face bulling from time to time. I think that bullies should be punished.

I think that bullying is really awful.
I dont understand, how they can hurt other pupils without any reason. And if there is a reason, pupils must solve their problems with the help of words but not fists.
I think that everybody agree that bullies should be punished.
