Bullying Hurts, Whether Online or Face to Face

I have never experienced bullying of any form before or maybe I never saw any act that was aimed to bully me as one but one thing is clear, I know just how rampant bullying is in schools, workplaces and on social media. Many people have to live with bullies for as long as they can bear with and some give up to fight or run away.

I've seen countless movies about bullying, it's how I knew that it is something that happens in real life because different countries won't show in stories repeatedly what doesn't happen. I thought that isn't enough for me to know bullying is rampant until I read of one that happened in a school here in my country, it was a shocking fact.

Bullying is a big problem in our society and should be addressed, especially in schools where we have little and weak children attending. Because I've understood that bullying mostly happens between a person who thinks they are strong because they try to threaten or oppress another who think they are weak, it's really crazy.

Since I've not experienced any worthy of note, I'll share my thought on the physical versus the online bullying or harassment based on what I've seen happening around me. First of all, bullying whether online or physically are the same, someone gets hurt in any form it is carried out.

I've heard of cases where the bullied persons climb the top of schools and fall down to take their lives because they are tired of being bullied everyday by their mates who seem stronger and untouchable. I've also heard of stories where people bullied online take their lives after reading comments that were targeted at them to go die.

Both form of bullying or harassment are grave and should be treated equally. Although I can say to an extent, the online bullies can be ignored if the person has a strong mental health so it still depends on who is being bullied online. Over all, I don't see why any form of bully should be taken lightly. Bullies should be taught serious lessons.

I still don't get why people have to prey on their mates to feel good about themselves, because I know most bullying come from a place of self doubt, hiding weaknesses or trying to prove a point that really doesn't matter. And bullying have cause big troubles for people who have done it in their pasts, causing them to lose opportunities.

Any form of bullying or harassment is very grave.
