Potential Research Topic (Bullying)

Bullying:

Another research topic I am interested about is bullying. There are many children who are being bullied in school, over social media and much more. It is unfair that children and teens are being bullied no one should ever have to go through something like this.  Children and teens should not be bullied in school.  School is a place to get away from home and learn. School is not a place to be harassed or made fun of its a place to go learn. Bullying starts because the bully is jealous of something the victim has or does. Bullying is all about jealousy and that is not right. Everyone is different and no one should be picked on for being different it is good to be different than everyone else.

Summary:

  This article is about how bullying has been around for many years. It is said the bullying has existed as long as schools themselves. Bullying back then was known as schoolyard fights. Now it is known as bullying. Bullying has become much more serious in the past few years. Children and teens are going towards violence as the solution. The person being bullied would fight who is harassing him/her. Another way teens will find a solution to stop being bullied is suicide. In the past years there have been many suicides or attempted suicides that bullying is on a high alert. Parents, educators, and law enforcement experts are trying to put a stop to all of this.
