The Epidemic Of Bullying In High School

Decent Essays
Bullying in high school is a very serious issue. Some of you might not know a simple bullying could have taken somebody else's life. I'm sure everyone back in high school ever been bullied for sake of popularity, even ME or you might be the person who bully others. There's nothing would stop this, not even a TV commercial. Somehow parents and teachers would have a hard time to understand how serious it could be.

I personally stand for those who get bullied in high school, be strong, don't die. You are Loved.

    I feel that schools should enforce a no tolerance bullying campaign that in which if students are found bullying another through any form of medium, they must then go to the school councilor to address the issue as well as get parents involved. By doing so students will be able to address problems fully with a professional and this professional can scaffold proper behavior. Furthermore, I believe that every school should help kids build confidence in the classrooms, so that even if they are bullied, the effect of it will be less because of their high efficacy. Additionally, I like the idea of getting parents involved in two ways. One would be at the school in which when a student is caught bullying or is victimized, the parent is made aware and then can further address and discuss this issue with their child.…
