    All three of my articles, “Facts about Bullying,” “Understanding Bullying — Fact Sheet,” and “Bullying,” rely heavily on Logos or logic.

    You can only face your fear of bullying by standing up to the bully, but why is bullying taken lightly especially with adults?

There is no excuse for bullying, but there is no excuse for when people take it lightly and turn their heads to the situation. If everybody lends a hand to take a stand then this is a social issue that not only will be corrected but also taken more seriously. There has to be a way to fight this crime, and yes I call bullying a crime because these are one of the few crimes that can be committed on different levels and can cause the same effects, or worst result in death.…
