Is bullying in school a serious problem to deal with?
Bullying is the act of intimidating and taking advantage of a persons weaknesses that has
a potential to be done repeatedly and habitually. And today, school bullying is a growing
dilemma which causes bad effects to the people involved. The schools themselves should take
immediate actions to start the prevention of this serious problem. This issue is very important to
be dealt with which could later save more people on experiencing it.
In school alone, bullies are everywhere. They can be an individual older kid that takes
advantage to a younger one who is much weaker. For example, that bully may give his victim a
wedgie, take his victims lunch money, or even beat his victim up. Peer groups are also one of
the potential bullies at school. It is normal to have groups in school. But sometimes, one member
of the group tends to influence the others to bully other people. They think that when they do
such action, they get to earn the respect of the other kids in the school. Did you know that even
teachers are not exempted to become a bully? Some teachers are insensitive enough to humiliate
his student in front of the class. Those bullying teachers must have overused their powers to
insult their students or to punish them beyond the reasonable practice. Schools must take actions
to prevent such problems. Rules and regulations about bullying must be strictly implemented and
carefully watched for. It is justifiable that the school gives rightful sanctions to students and even
to the teachers or school personnel that are practicing the act of bullying. Students that do the act
of bullying should have respective sanctions like detentions, probations or in worse cases,
suspensions. This would make those individuals to be more watchful of their actions. Proper
disciplinary actions for students should be taken care of by the school as its part of honing the
students characters. With the bully teachers, their attention must be called and be in probation as
well. In worst case scenarios, they should be taken out of the job. Teachers are supposed to be

the role models of the children attending to their class. And thus, displaying such actions of
bullying to the students is not proper and appropriate for a good role model.
How do we consider bullying as a serious problem? Some of us mistakenly thought that
bullying is just a normal way of life that we cannot prevent or be fixed. They also thought that a
victim can just be affected physically or verbally. However, the effects of bullying do not limit
itself to that. Researchers have found that victims of bullying are affected as well,
psychologically and socially. If a child is bullied at school and was embarrassed in front of
people, he may develop low self-esteem and low self-confidence. That victim may also develop
depression and anxiety. We do not know that all of these psychological and social effects can last
for years after the attack. They may not be able to overcome the incident right away and as a
result, it makes them change into an inferior kind of person. Not everyone is invincible and
strong enough to handle situations like these and sometimes can even make them commit
suicide. Kids may be hard to speak out their problems. Most of the time, they need someone to
talk and open up their situation. Parents should always be watchful with their childrens action.
Teachers and the school authorities should always be present around the school to prevent any
incident of bullying. Since that bullying, most of the time, takes place where supervision of an
adult is not present.
It is unfortunate that bullying is present to the place where children are being honed and
taught of things out of their ignorance. The school should be bully-free so that the students are
free enough to grow because the school is not a place to stop a persons progress, but rather to
start it there. With proper education and full attention, bullying can be fixed and, hopefully, soon
be alleviated and save more people from suffering.
