What is school bullying?
Bullying is a form of violence that hurts others. School bullying happens at school or during school-sponsored activities when a student or group of students intentionally and repeatedly uses their power to hurt other individuals or groups. Bullies’ power can come from thier physical strength, age, financial status, popularity, social status, technology skills, or by association (the people they know, who they hang out with, who their family is). I hope you see why I take this issue so seriously, because it is happening to children all over the world. They are getting bullied for no reason and we need to try and fix it in our schools.
