Bullying is projected as detrimental to the person who is being hurt. People are not
always informed about the one who is doing the bullying and what they have to go through. As a
society, the focus on self harm is so heavy it seems as if that is the only option for the people
being bullied. Bullying can have worse effects on the bully rather than the person who is being
made fun of.
We know that bullying is wrong and that it shouldn’t happen, but some say that it made
them stronger. “I was knocked out for a minute or two. I didn 't get all pissed off, and go and try
to sue the school or kill myself, because he made me stronger.” (Controversial 1) This student

This is the first time I have really looked at bullying from this perspective, but it
makes sense. You learn about yourself and what your limits are. Many people have the argument
that bullying only has a negative outcome, but in this situation, the one who was being bullied
used it as a life lesson.
Bullying is projected as only harm being done to the one who is being hurt. What if both
people in this situation are in danger? Sometimes the bully is doing this as a cry out for help.
Bullying is a learned behavior and this might be the only way someone knows how to treat
others. “Dr. Pepler cites previous research showing that children who bullied often struggled as
parents. Their own children tended to bully others. "These are learned behaviours," she
says.(About 1) This is a cycle that will continue if we do not try to stop it. The ways we have
gone about bullying so far have not worked, so we should get creative and as a society end it. All
you see on TV shows or in movies is the person being bullied struggle, but we should see both
sides. There has to be some type of motivation to go out and hurt others. They sometimes need
more help than the people who they bully and they do not always get it. They might get …show more content…
People say that it is a cry out for help, but if they really wanted help they would ask for it. The
people who are being bullied can always talk to a parent and if they do not want to involve them
there are administrators or guidance counselors. I think that schools have devoted time into
teaching kids that this is not okay, but I think that we need to focus on speaking out. Many kids
are afraid to admit the terrible things that are happening to them and are scared that worse things
could happen if they speak out. No one should have to live life afraid and we should start
encouraging everyone who is involved in bullying to speak out. The bullies need to be able to cry
out for help as well. I know that the person who is being hurt is the true victim, but both sides
should be able to express the need for help because self harm is not the answer.
The common assumption of bullying is that the person who is being bullied is the only
one who is suffering. You do not always know the background information on the bully and
what they have to face in life. Society focuses on self harm and we make it look as if that is
