I find that bullying is what causes most teens to go through depression. People don't realize what it does to the victim until something bad is announced, like suicide, cutting, drugs, and even bullying on others. The "bullying will not be tolerated" lectures have been decreasing at some schools because sometimes it isn't effective enough. Kids and teens that bully normally have something going on in their lives at home and out of school. Sometimes it's because they feel like they aren't connected with God, but we can change that by making people happy to be involved with God and make an effort like we are now, to get them to have faith in the lord and know right from wrong. People should make it a habit in their daily lives to follow in the footsteps of God and to think before we make a decision that might jeoperdise somebody's life.

Bullying is a world wide thing that dosn't ever make any sense. I'm mean really think about it. All it is is people trying to eaither get revenge, take out there feeling on others or hurting others to make them selves feel better. So revenge, has it ever actually helped someone. PS. the answer to that question is no. Revenge may help people feel better for a couple days maybe even months but after a while you start to wonder was it really worth it? Ya the person did something to you and it may have been worse than what you did to them but is it really worth it? Taking out your feelings on others. if you have feeling keep them either in your mind or write them down. Don't express them through violence. It dons help any one including yourself? Now to make yourself feel better, why? Just talk to someone about it. If you have a problem fix it by talking about it. Don't hurt others to make you feel more powerful help those who are less fortunate than you are. Trust me it will make you feel a lot better than bullying? So now you've heard my opinion but I'm going to ask you one more question. If you had the power to stop all the bullying in the world, would you be the difference? Just a thought to think about. :)

I think that this video is a great way to show what really happens in reality. Some shows show that bullying is something that can easily be changed but in reality, it isn't that easy. People say that when people bully you should stand up to them but with this video it takes it to another level and start asking ourselves 'are we the bully?' because sometimes we don't realize what we are doing is a type of bullying even though it may not be the examples that have been shown to us. The lectures say so many complicated things that you should do to stop bullying but I just find that this two words (stop it) used correctly will make the huge change.

the experience that i had was with a rumour that i had liked a guy in my grade, but i really didn't and i was getting mad. i was telling everyone that i didn't like him, so i went to the person and told them to stop but at first they didn't so i talked to some of my friends and we all went to the person who started it and we all told the person that this was not true and then they stopped after 2 weeks or so.

Though it can be easily overlooked, the banners above the bullied girl's locker show a lot. They are anti bully posters. It shows that the standard ways of stopping it aren't working. Though stopping the bullying while it happens, it might be better if we stop the bullying before it happens. Teach children at a young age that there are alternatives to bullying. Show them what bullying can do, because sometimes, you need to see to believe.

I would like to add on to Logan's post saying that it can be overlooked. If people are bullying, and other people are putting up anti bully banners, and giving speeches, that doesn't help. It's inevective. To stop someone from bullying, you have to solve their problem, and help them. You can either cut the bud off of a dandelion, or you can pull the whole thing out from its roots

Bullying is a a huge virus that goes around for many years. Bullying can happen anywhere. I feel that once they are told about their actions they stop or they keep going. No matter what people still bully. In this case, in the little clip that was shown to us, he stops and apologize which was a assertive thing to do. Even though he was a bit embarrassed when he talked to the girl who was being bullied, he stood up what was right and did the right thing. Bullying leads to depression which could lead to self harming and could possibly lead to suicide. Bullying someone, even the slightest bit could change their life forever. So, think before you say anything, because you never know who you can hurt.

I think that bullying is pretty bad, because they are making someone feel bad for their own pleasure. that is cruel and stupid. And we need to stop bullying before the victim suicides or decides to do cut themselves. We can't just put signs saying no bullying because that won't anything. we need to actually get up and do something. like supporting the victim and apologizing. joining a no bullying club won't do anything. saying that i support bullying wont do anything either. actually getting up and supporting the victim will change their life and make you feel better because you're making someone feel better and not feel bad.

This seems so easy. But it's not. I think that bullying doesn't stop because people won't actually do anything about it. Maybe we should all make a commitment to doing something that will help. If you agree, post your commitment as a reply.

I think that bullying is like a destructive virus that needs to be stopped. though many people thinks its just bullying and there just kidding but its more than that, people commit suicide or do other bad things may involve death. bullying happens in mostly middle school all the way up to high school. and most bully's have been bullied and want revenge but what you should be doing is standing up for people that are being bullied and getting them help. instead of keeping it inside and bundling it up you should let it out and get help. if you are bullying some one stop and make them feel good about them self and over all we need to stop bullying.

I feel that cyber bullying people is a big problem in today's society. It can cause suicidal thoughts and can really drop someones self esteem. People might just think it's a joke and to not worry about it. But they don't understand what is happening in their life. We must look at people and treat them like God would. This falls under the Golden rule (treat others as you want to be treated). The reason people cyber bully is because we are too shy to say it to the person's face. As well as they might be getting bullied too but they take out their anger on the social media websites. People don't realize how much cyber bullying hurts it hurts as much or even more than physical bullying. Physical damage will heal but emotion damage can last forever.

I very much agree with this, being bullied drops ones self esteem by quite a bit, and makes people feel so bad it affects their health, personality, and their whole lives. Nobody really realizes how much it hurts, until their hit

I believe that anyone can be bullied. It isn't easy to say that bullying isn't a problem in the world today. For some people bullying is revenge. They do it because that person did mean things to them, but bullying them back makes you a much bigger bully than they already are. Don't get me wrong you can stand up for yourself just in the right ways. Bullying someone isn't right, just because they don't fit in or look like you want them to look doesn't mean you can say it. It's their opinion to choose what they look like and wear not yours. People who get bullied maybe aren't going through a smooth time in life and you come along and bully them, you don't know their life. You can't just expect someone to think that they can stand all the bullying by themselves. They start self harming themselves, because they think that all the things that people say about them is true. They think that their not worth anything, when the truth is that there is people out there who care about them, but they can't see it because of what bullying did. Don't be that person who thinks it's right to bully people. Stop bullying for good.

A lot of people think bullying is funny and it will never happen to them but it does and people think it's is funny that the person is getting bullied but it is not. Once the person is affected by the virus it kills them in the inside and they go through depression and eventually do Durgs, suicide and cutting. I agree with Mallary that not many people fell connected to God, and we can help them fell connected to God. Lots of people ignore this topic cause they think it's not that important to them.

The questions that the speaker said for most I said yes but the question "do you want to hurt some one" to that I say no I don't but if I did hurt any one some one should tell me the guy in the video didn't stop even when it looked like he crossed the line with the picture but it took one only one person to let him know it's bad. the people who bully should be toled that it hurts and if they don't then let them know that it's bad I know how it feels for both sides but I didn't know that words hurt It took one kid only one to stop me from hurting I still to this day and beyond that I won't hurt and if I do hurt then let me know and if you are being bullied then let them know it hurts if. Bullying isn't a war if it hurts tell them it hurts.

Bullying today is a revamped version of "picking on" back in the 20 th century. Its gotten so bad that people have taken their own lives because they felt that there was no other way but to kill themselves. Bullying is retalliation from others and a way of revenge. Bullying can be stopped. Be the change.

I think that this is absolutely horrible that someone would do this and bullying will actually never stop in this world but we can shorten on how many people do bully people. We need to be there for someone that is getting bullied so they know they are not alone. we all need to stand up for anyone that is getting bullied.

I think that bullying is something that could be ignored and I find that it is something that just gets in the way of your everyday life. It's some sort of cycle or disease that spreads all around. It can't always be stopped but like your body, you can fight through it and ignore it. Sometimes I get that cyberbullying can get out of hand but you have to talk someone as soon as possible because if you accept getting cyberbullied,you too might become the cyber bully. If you do however become free and strong enough to fight this, you should be hero and help stop this problem.

I feel bullying has gotten out of hands theses days. But I don't feel like people bully because of a lack of knowledge on what can result of there actions. I think people bully because they feel like they need to hurt someone else to make them selves feel better. It can also be a result of violence at there homes our between there loved ones so I think we need to offer more support to kids living in a house with domestic abuse. Once people feel like there part of a community and there accepted for who they are then there will be less bullying in the world.

I think bullying it's really bad because people bully just to make themselves feel more important than someone else. They might also do bullying for revenge or envy. It also stops the person thats being bullying to do new things because hey are too scared someone is going to make fun of them. Bullying also spreads because first it's just one person then it's a group of people and then the whole school gossips. People are always too scared to stand up to a bully so i think is you see someone being bullied stand up to them.

Bullying is a topic that is brang up constantly, and never seems to stop, and there is two types of 'main bullying '~ physical bullying & cyber bullying, cyber bullying this the topic that is the main issue these days with everyone having a phone, computers and other ways of communicating to others. They put others down to make themselfs feel stronger and better, or they are jealous or just mad at the world and have nothing else better to. If you get cyber bullyed just block them🙅 un-friend them, delete there contact📵or go tell a teacher or parent about the issue ~ if they keep doing it you can get the police involved. Now physical bullying • in physical bullying you are physically getting hurt from someone else and if that happens you can either fight them and stand up for your self or go tell a parent, teacher, school conciler or go to the police.

I think that most of the time when there is bullying people just let it go because they are scared. I think that most people are on the bully's side because they are scared of being bullied. If people would work together to stop a bully then the bully would stop hurting other because they are scared of the group.

Not many people have opportunities to tell their parents what's going on. Some parents don't believe their child or sometimes they don't care. We don't know what's going on in their lives. I think you can't just expect them to go and tell on teacher or their parents. It takes lots of courage and effert to come out, when no one wants to hear. Out actions can change everything by: standing up for them and actually look after them.

Bullying is a huge problem today. I don't understand why people do such horrible things to other people just to laugh about it with there friends and I find in some cases it gets way to out of hand. People don't relize what they are doing to the victim and how it is affecting them. We need to make people feel like they belong instead of just putting them done. People bully others to make themselves feel good and I don't agree with that. When some cases when it just thought a whole school for example it can really hurt a person and that can lead to really bad things. I thinks people that bully not only do it to make them selves feel better but because they either have been bullied or have something happening to them and I don't understand why they are doing it because they are just making the situation worse. I think bullying need to be stopped.

I think that bullying is a very serious matter that gets in the way of our education, friends and family. If you ever get bullied, talk to your parents, friends and counsellor to help you. I don't think that people who bully know how bad it can affect a person. They can go through depression, self harm and even suicide. This virus affects many people and it can be cured one step at a time by simple ignoring the bully or even compliment everyone. In order to cure the virus, we have to be the change and let everyone know that they are part of this community.

I don't understand why so many people choose to cyber bully or bully in general. But it's so common now. People started with just picking on someone and turned it into something worse,something that has made people go home everyday crying, something that I don't think can be fixed. People have gone to far. To a point where hearing "that girl" that you saw the other day, she's getting bullied and thinking about suicide .. Cause that's the new normal . It's so easy for people to make other people hurt .. And they go home without feeling anything. It's scary how that send button holds so much more power and it's so little. And it's easy for anyone to stand at the front of a class and tell you how bad cyber bullying is, but I don't think anything will change, that same day the person will go home and keeping hitting send and keep saying bad thing. I don't understand how people can make someone's life terrible. But I do believe there's a solution, people just have to realize how their words can hurt and the effect they have on that person. A person can be so happy at school and you would never guess anything was wrong, but you also don't know that person can go home everyday and ask them selfs why their still here, and they don't want to go to school. People bully to make themselves feel "better" but you can tell me that everytime they say something bad they don't think "oh this might hurt that person or make them feel bad". Don't make someone a clown of your magic act

Bullying can affect many people and anyone. If you get bullied you should always stand up for yourself and if it is that bad tell a adult for help so their is no self harm to yourself. When it gets out of hand it could be worst because people can see the bullying messages and made fun of it. But at the end someone will feel bad and stand up for you if you don't.

I think bullying some has a great impact on there life. It could make them depressed and angry, I personsally think that some people take comments that might not be positive and over react and take it way to seriously and then claim that it's bullying. That personsally drives me nuts. Bullying is really bad I think that people do it to make them feel better and make the other person feel bad.

Since people are very selfish they tend to harm others. I think bullying may stop if we try. Like it said in the video: if we consider other people's feelings and love one another then I believe we can limit bullying. It's not right to make others feel like they don't belong. I think we're born so we can love one another and accept the differences in everyone. Sometimes people tend to think they are not good enough; if there are people like that I believe we need to bring people up and help them to think they are beautiful, instead of putting them down and making them think everyone else is better. If we start loving ourselves and others, we can make a change. I know it's going to be hard but when you get the hang of it, it's going to be easy. We can spread love by showing others how to. We can teach those who do not know how to show love in their actions and their words.

Cyber bullying can be spread very easily & i think thats why this video describes it so well, cyber bulling is just like any type of bullying, except you cannot get away from it because its every where, especially 'ask.fm' because you can do it anonymously. I used to have it and i saw mean things written on there every day, people wrote mean things to me as well. It just shows peoples true colours and who your true friends are, if you see this happening, any where, you should stick up for that person. Weather its your friend or not, we can help to stop it.
