Edublogs Challenge #5: Human Rights ~ Bullying

Bullying is a very serious problem around the world. Bullying is when one person (or many people) do something to be mean to a particular person or group. There are many different forms of bullying: Cyber bullying, insulting someone, tormenting someone, teasing, etc. Some people get bullied so bad that they commit suicide (there have been millions of suicides because of bullying). Racism also plays a pretty big role in bullying. For example, someone may get bullied just because they’re black or because they’re Asian. Another common victim of bullies are small/skinny people or “nerds.” The main reason these types of people are bullied is because of their size.

Bullies think because these people are small, they’re easy targets. Bullies will also bully someone out of insecurity. Basically, the bully will do anything they can to make a person feel bad. These are just acts of desperation by the bully. They want so bad to be better than another person that they try everything possible to make themselves feel like they’re better than this person/victim. Sometimes people will pick on someone

 

Nobody, black, white, Asian, or Latino, should be bullied. Every human has the right to be treated the right way.

 

This seems to be a strange coincidence, but October (this month) happens to be Bullying prevention month. To learn more about bullying and help to stop it visit this link: http://tinyurl.com/45crwl7
