Bullying

Influencing someone into doing into what you want, also known as bullying. Nearly 20 percent of students are bullied. I believe that the biggest problem at sunridge is bullying. There are some simple solutions such as stand up for yourself and don't let someone control your actions. And being nice and respectful when you confront the bully.

Firstly, standing up for yourself could do a lot for stopping the bullying. Bullying is a big problem because it can cause students to skip school and even drop out of school. Its easy to let someone continue pushing you around but then the tormenting while continue. So tell a trusted adult and if the harassment continues you might need to get the police involved. 6th grader Rook Russel said that from experience that standing up for yourself could end the tormenting.

Then, confronting the bully with respect and kindness might help them understand their are other ways to treat people. Bullies are not cool they just bring down their own reputation and they bring down everybody around them. Jeremiah Brandon says that bullying is a big problem at Sunridge and being respectful when confronting the bully could help stop this problem.

Bullying is a big deal because it causes kids to skip school, get therapy and in worst cases commit suicide. SMS would be a better place because everyone could have the ability to express themselves in their own way.And if everybody who witness bullying stood up we could be the generation who ended bullying.
