Bullying: Everybody has experienced some form of bullying in their life, whether it is mental or physical - both can be equally damaging. Some bullying can be worse than others but there is no doubt that it happens everywhere. People encounter bullying in a home, work or social environments, and many types of bullying are over looked. Many people are unaware of how sensitive and vunerable people are in certain situations. Bullying is often brushed under the carpet because people are to selfish or scared to involve themselves. I ask you, if you saw an elderly lady being mugged by a group of 'chavs' and you noticed the youngsters had a weapon, would you get involved?Personally, I believe bullies to be cowards and they pick on easy targets in order to give themselves a sense of authority - these people have no idea how much damage they are causing and 9 times out of ten, bulllies are people who live a very illydic lifestyle and have limitied experience of life.
Although, there are many organisations deisgned to conquer bullying and offer support - very few of these are adviced within schools and workplaces. However, I have noticed that the following website does contain advice for teachers and offers soultions. http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/behaviour/tacklingbullying
It is a real shame that bullying happenns and that sometimes it can be too late to resolve. Many cases of bullying have devastatingly ended in suicide.
