Bullying is Dumb :/

What do we know about bullying? There are many different types of bullying going on. There is verbal bullying, physical bullying, and cyber bullying (cyber bullying is probably the most common type of bullying in today’s society. Even though we have an understanding as to what bullying, but has the term “bullying” become overused now? Honestly, I think it has. Most bullying has become really serious; so serious that it can take away an innocent life. People are threatening each other, bringing weapons to school, and even causing kids to commit suicide. THIS IS BULLYING? No, this is far from bullying. Bullying used to be name calling and picking on little kids. It was less severe, but as the years went by, kids started getting new bullying ideas from the media (television, movies, music, etc.). Bullying today is like another form of violence.

After reading the second article, I was a little bit confused. The editor was saying that it’s either considered to be bullying or just “bad” behavior. First of all, I believe bullying is not the right at all. Second, bad behavior is not even the word that comes to mind when I think about these violent actions. “Bullying” should be taken seriously because it can lead to death or serious injuries.
