There has been an increase in bullying over the years. Bullying has become a national problem because many of the cases result in death. There are many factors that attribute to the rise in bullying. For example, the misusage of social media, not following the “See something, say something”, and problems outside of school.
I believe that the number one factor that causes bullying is the misusage of social media. We are entering into a new age where technology is life, there is a gadget or device for everything. There are also, so many social media sites that are used to connect users to anyone from anywhere. These site sometimes allow anyone to make a profile without doing a proper background checks to make sure it’s safe for users against …show more content…
Another factor that contribute to bullying is that people don’t speak up when they see it or hear it. If you see someone being picked on/bullied tell someone. With so many bullying cases ending with the victim committing suicide or self-harm is safer for the victim if someone said anything before the worst could happen. Some reason why person wouldn’t speak up when they see someone being bullied is that they are scared. They think the bully would turn on them and then they would be the next victims. That’s why people don’t get involved, they think it’s safer to walk away than tell anyone. Either way people need to know that the help-hotlines are confidential and are there to keep the victim safe as well as the caller. There are many factors that contribute to reasons why a person would intentionally try to hurt another with words and through actions.

I was new to the school and didn’t want to get on the mean kids bad side, but I also wasn’t that type of person to follow the crowd and try to put someone down because it was considered cool. So, I just walked away and didn’t tell the teacher. Now, when I look back I get really mad at myself for not at least telling the teacher, but then I remember that I was young and didn’t know anyone since it was a new school. But still I could have said something to anyone even, I could have left a note on the teacher desk. But I do remember telling my mom about it once I got home. I think that’s when she gave me a “don’t be a follower speech” and next time don’t be afraid to say something when I see something wrong. Now that I’m older I express my feelings all the time when I see something wrong. There isn’t a true way to stop people from bullying others. Even with the help-line and help from teachers/bystanders people continued to be bullied. That’s like asking a person to not express themselves or to never show what they’re feeling. Bullies express themselves through anger and hurting others because they are hurt to. Bullies are victims too, people aren’t
