Bullying has always been a problem in society.
Kids have problems with telling an adult about their situation due to having the
fear of judgment or making their problems worst. The older a bully gets, the
worst things that person can do. Tormented teens get two ways either into
depression or become vengeful. There has been times where the victim of bullying
gets violent and gets back at the bully by bringing violence or a weapon to
school. For example, on January 14,2013 there was a teen in a California school
that was 16, the teen brought a 12 gauge shotgun and harmed an athlete. The teen
was bullied for his appearance.
Bullied teens also become depressed which can
cause them to think dark thoughts such as suicide. Suicide should never be used
as an option to escape one own problems. Over 14 percent of students that have
been bullied considered committing suicide, about 7 percent have actually
attempted it. Around the age of 12-17 teens are fragile with their feelings due
to having insecurities.
