Essay 13

By Devin Liu

        One of the never ending issues is bullying. There is cyber and school bullying. I think the latter is more severe because it’s face to face. The more serious one usually involves ganging up because then bullies would have a lot of support and feel confident.
        People have several options to deal with that. One can be to tell the teacher which might not be so popular. They might be called a snitch. Confronting the bully is stupid because the victim is normally outnumbered. Staying silent would be best and that would give the bully an opportunity to pick another target.
People bully others to take out their anger on others. They use their peers as outlets. They can’t get mad at adults or higher authorities, so they intimidate younger people. Bullies expect no resistance at all from them.
        Bullies want to be cool, so they use jokes and pranks to appeal to others for support. They make themselves look strong by defeating younger peers. They also want to earn respect by displaying power. Fear will be instilled and no one will stand up.
        Bullying is something all students must contend with unless you’re popular or a bully yourself. I wish that the future is bully less and that school will be much more fun.
