Rough Draft #1

Bullying has increased in recent years although it is not clear if the increase reflects more incidents of bullying in school or greater awareness of bullying as a problem. Bullying is when someone gain the strength and power over someone who’s usually too scared to defend themselves.it can be extreme. Bulling at school can affect everyone from the person who is bullied to the person who witness it. To the students that are bullied, it can cause them health complains, mental disabilities, depression and anxieties. It can even decrease their GPA and concern in their field. But worst, it can bring them to take suicidal decisions. According to an article more than 73% had committed suicide because they were victims of bullying. Usually those students show some signs like talking or joking about committing suicide, writing poems about death or writing some stories about how they will take their life away. Those students become isolated and miss a big part of their life and education. They even miss classes because they know once they get to school there are those people who will start make fun of them, giving them all kind of names. And sometimes some of those children also end up committing murder because for them those people deserve to die. According to that same article “In 12 of 15 school shooting cases in the 1990s, the shooters had a history of being bullied.”

Usually they students that bully others have also being victims once and they have that feeling of revenge but unfortunately, they torture others. They get engage in violent fights with the bullied and those fights can lead to a murder. They are most of the time under effects of drugs, alcohol or other stimulants that give them a feeling of superiority over others. They can also be abusive toward their partners, friends or entourage and they can also get engage in sexual harassment or violent. For witnesses, they also have mental health problem, depression, anxieties and even skip school because they cannot stand seeing other people being bullied.

  1. This is a great topic. Just be careful with your punctuations. I think it is very good information talking about the witnesses of bullying also. But I wanted to know do they intervene and do it leave them to be suicidal also? Remember to cite your quotes! Are shooting rates better now or worse? What evidence do you have that proves that these bullies are under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol? What are some things that have been used to defuse bullying and are they helpful? Did it make things better or worse?
