Bullying is ALWAYS wrong…it is definite bad behaviour. No matter what form of bullying that is carried out; whether that be teasing, physical or emotional abuse, being racist or excluding someone on purpose.
Bullying can cause extreme unhappiness for individuals; can cause health problems and lack of confidence and can cause children to become isolated and alone.
The NSPCC compiled statistics in 2007 surrounding bullying. They found that 31% of children experienced bullying by their peers during childhood, a further 7% were discriminated against and 14% were made to feel different or 'like an outsider'. 43% experienced at least one of these things during childhood.(Cawson, P. et al. (2000) Child maltreatment in the United Kingdom: a study of the prevalence of child abuse and neglect. London: NSPCC. p.26.)
Additionally, it was found that a quarter of children bullied by their peers reported that they suffered long term harmful effects lasting into adulthood.(Cawson, P. et al. (2000) Child maltreatment in the United Kingdom: a study of the prevalence of child abuse and neglect. London: NSPCC. p.30)
It has been shown that being bullied as a child can have strong affects in later adulthood, and loss of confidence and restricted peer relationships.
Bully’s need to be helped, most of the time there is an underlying issue to why children decide to bully others, and this needs to be tackled in order to stop bullying all together.
I believe that you should treat others how you expect to be treated, and no other way. If you would not like to be treated the way you are treating another individual, it must be wrong and you shouldn’t do it. FULL STOP.
