Bullies Are Bad

No one ever wins in a bullying situation. The bully might have the ability to beat up the smaller kid, but he is never going to truly win. Maybe one or two battles at first, but I believe that eventually it will come back to him OR HER. A bully can be any person, not just a male. It is usually, but not limited to, a student at an equal age in the society we live in today. This is not much of a problem where here in Pleasant Plains, but it does happen. When it happens, it hurts. No one knows how to react, as it can be an extremely difficult situation for anyone involved. It is complicated for a parent to decide what to do for their child, it is difficult to see something happen to someone you care about. It is troublesome for the bully to have to deal with whatever punishment they get, and to admit defeat. No one ever really talks about that, they only talk about the real physical punishment, such as grounding or losing a phone. They never talk about how emotional and stressful it is on everyone. No one knows what to do. Above all, the person taking most of the problems is the victim. They could be dealing with a number of things. They are afraid of embarrassment or physical brutality. They are afraid of people watching them, or possibly just harmful words. Aggression towards someone you constantly have to deal with can make them extremely uncomfortable, but they do not know what to do about it because they do not want to make it worse by telling someone about it. They only want to be happy, and they want to get alone, but they just can't. Sometimes, you just cannot change people, no matter how much you wish you could. At times, it seems like the best thing to do is keep your mouth shut. That way at least you are the only person who is unhappy, and no one else has to deal with your problems.
