When I think about the word bully I think
of someone that feels bad about themselves so they have to
pick on people to make themselves feel better. Some people
can bully by starting rumors about other people, or actually
being physical and pushing another
person around. Sometimes bullying can take place in groups.
A group of bullies could intimidate you.
Sometimes a person might become a bully
because of their home life. Maybe they get pushed around by
their parents or called names. They might feel like they don't
belong. A bully may have older siblings that have made fun
of them.
I'm going to talk about a boy who got picked
on for little things such as the clothes he wore and his personal
features. During school he would get his books knocked out
of his hands. He would get pushed into lockers and he was
called names. This boy played football so he knew he couldn't
fight back. He ignored the bully, but he still gets bullied
today because he didn't do anything about it.
These are some of the things the boy could
have done to deal with the bullying:
1. Try to ignore the bully.
2. Confront the bully about your feelings.
3. If it gets bad enough, tell a grown-up.
4. If it gets too out of hand the grown-up can talk to the
principal or counselor at the school
If you don't want to become a bully, keep
reminding yourself of the Golden Rule. The Golden Rule is
treating others as you would like to be treated. This will
help you socially in the long run. It will help you in relationships
and all throughout your life. Being a good person is treating
everyone equally no matter what kind of person they are.
