1. Zero-tolerance policies. These also make it impossible for victims to defend themselves, and these policies are used to punish the victims.
2. Singling out groups and offering anti-bullying support by group rather than equally and for all. If you elevate any one group to a protected class, then you are actually setting them up to be disrespected and subject to MORE bullying. The help may be misinterpreted as special treatment. Very often, group-specific anti-bullying programs often target the least practiced forms of bullying. For instance, while sexual orientation bullying is a problem, it is not as common as other types, such are bullying related to race, religion, creed, intelligence, appearance, or weight. So it would be better to not allow any form of bullying rather than to only address certain kinds while allowing others.
3. Bullying back. Every once in a while, a teacher gets fired for biting a kid who bites others, and every once in a while, someone goes to prison for sexually assaulting a rapist. If a bully bullies because they were bullied, then further victimizing them won't help.
4. Increasing policies that actually cause the bullying. People sometimes bully when they feel a lack of control and power in their lives. Stealing power from them and making them feel more helpless won't make it go away.
5. Promoting wrong behavior of whatever group. If someone's chosen behavior sets them up to be bullied, then promoting that behavior won't help them in the long run. That behavior should neither be practiced nor used as an excuse to bully. One person's wrong does not excuse another's regardless of what class or group they are in.
6. Victim blaming. There are studies about how victims of bullying seem to share certain "flaws." That is tantamount to blaming the victims for it and isn't much different than saying a woman who was assaulted should have dressed differently or went outside at a different time. That is certainly not fair. Maybe they should have done something different, but that is independent of the other person's actions and is not an excuse for their behavior.
7. Ignoring it. Just because someone is a valuable person at some level, that doesn't make it any better or mean it should be ignored. At schools, it is often the cheerleaders, athletes, teacher's assistants, coaches, etc. who are behind it. But when "indispensable" people are guilty, those in charge often are quick to cover it up, ignore it, or blame/threaten the victims. Ignoring it only reinforces it, it is not a "one-off" situation that will go away on its own.
cyber bullying
Bullying is bad because it could bring a person's self-esteem down, it could lead to suicide, and the person who is being bullied have too much pressure on themselves and not feel appreciated. So don't go bullying people for whatever reason.. Stop it!
expeled and go to a bad school
It is now popular to speak out against bullying. No rational person was ever in favor of it, but many people considered it part of growing up and authorities did not do much to try to detect it and stop it. Also, the Internet and e-mail have added a new facet to bullying and some suicide cases have made the news.
stop doing bad deeds
Both are bad.
bullying is bad because you are making someone feel as if they are nothing. bullying is just another way to express hate and distress. so don't do it now that you know what it is
It depends how bad the bullying is but sometimes they just cry and sometimes if its really bad they might selfharm. Bullying is wrong and should not happen in the first place.
Cyber bullying is no worse than any other form of bullying - it is all very, very bad!
It could be either. As a verb you would say "she is bullying him" and as a noun you would say "bullying is bad."
It seems to be both. Bullying can be a growing problem on some occasions depending on how bad the bully is. If it's a boy bullying a girl then 80% of the time they are bullying you because they like you. But that said this isn't always the case...
Yes bullying is bad because if you bully someone to much you can push them to the point of them wanting to kill them self.
