What I know about my topic

Same gender bullying in the school is a touchy subject. The kids don’t report it, nor do they want to be bulled for telling. Research on school bullying has found higher prevalence rates in the United States than in other countries! And more people here are unaware of it! Most people wonder how they can be oblivious to something so big and hugely impacting to our youth. Since, the government is trying to look good and don’t want to tell the public everything about this subject, that they don’t report all cases unless they are really serious. It is all about the numbers and looking good rather than taking care of what needs to be done, to make this a better place for our kids. It was found that bullies have a low self esteem and that is why they bully others, to make themselves feel better. I have been on both sides of bullying; I have been the bully and the victim and I know that when you’re bulling others you feel powerful and in control and that nobody would dare mess with you. I have mostly been on the victim side though and know that it’s not fun and my convenidence has suffered because of that. But now I will never bully someone ever again, and I hope that nobody else will if they have been bullied before.
