Bullying in Schools is Increasingly Popular
It certainly has happened to every single person at the very least but one time in their lives. You got to school as a young and someone picks on you or teases you for some reason. Could be the color of your skin, the clothes you have on or the way you look in general. People are now beginning to learn the severity of the impact that bullying and teasing children can impact a person's future forever. One comment can leave a lasting imprint permanently. Over the past few decades, society has witnessed school shootings, teen suicide, rape victims and physical fighting multiple in occurrences all over the world. Is it not somewhat ironic that many years ago, two children with different skin colors were not permitted to attend the same school systems together, but some decades later people are actually meaner and crueler toward one another now than ever before?
Some fifty years ago, if an elderly woman was crossing the street a young man would be inclined to assist her across or open a door for her should he be gong the same direction. Now, they walk right past her with absolutely no regard for thinking of possibly helping her safely cross the street. Why is this happening, why are children and adults so harsh with each other? Certainly manners and having at least one parent always in the home some decades ago is a huge difference in the way children behave currently and how well their parents know how their children act when they are in school. Today families cannot afford to have someone always staying home to tend to the little ones, but can they not afford to instill some quality values into their children? Some examples of this are to keep their hands to themselves, to never criticize another child in a harmful or cruel manner and to be respective toward other backgrounds and people that are not the same as yourself. This is an epidemic that absolutely needs to stop right away as these children today are destroying themselves by just trying to fit in with their peers. It is not just drugs and alcohol that you may assume only happens to teenager, it is children as young as first graders bullying each other and nine year old girls throwing their lunches away because someone in their class told them they were fat.
As you become older, you realize that what comments people make (especially those in high school) should be taken with a grain of salt and for the most part ignored. That one person's cruel opinion of you may be their own insecurity and you let things go easier. It is vital to begin teaching children not to bully others in school, at home, via cell phone and on the internet. This type of bullying can torment a child well into adulthood and even result in a fatal accident. Would you want your child to be the reason another child took their own life over a few careless words? Think carefully about that and speak to your children right away regarding bullying and ask them what they can do to prevent it as well. Change starts with just one person, maybe your child be the change to make a difference.
