    Bullying
    When people hurt you over and over, think of them like sand paper; they may scratch
    and hurt you a bit, but in the end, you end up polished and they end up useless (Chris Colfer).
    Bullying is a form of harassment or intimidation that children or younger people can
    suffer in the school. Additionally, the four most common types of bullying that a person can
    suffer are physical, verbal, cyber, and social/emotional. These types of bullying can happen in
    any place. But, how can I tell if someone suffers from bullying. Students who are bullied have
    different changes in their personality. Furthermore, these are a lot of consequences to the bullied
    person. For example, mental problems, low self-esteem, physical issues, all may result when a
    person is bullied.
    In the first place, bullying is when an overbearing person who habitually badgers and
    intimidates smaller or weaker people. This is a big problem in the schools, so much so that one
    out of every four students report being bullied during the school year (National Central for
    Educational and Statistics). However, most people think about bullying, they imagine boys
    punching one another but is only physical bullying, one of many more common types of
    bullying. For example, physical action is the most common form of bullying and it occurs when
    children use physical action like kicking, hitting, punching, etc. others. Another form, verbal, is
    when they use only words like name-calling insults or verbal abuse for their religion, sexual
    orientation, race, and etc. A third form, cyber-bullying, is when a young person use a social
    media site to harass or embarrass another person with pictures, rumors, massages. A fourth form,
    sexual bullying, consists of repeated, harmful actions that target a person sexually. For example,
    it includes crude comments, vulgar gestures, uninvited touching or pornographic material.
    At the same time, bullying occurs during the school day and after school hours. It can
    happen in the classrooms, hallways, bathrooms or cafeteria. For identified people who suffer
    bullying, the consequences cause change. For example, their poor attendance or decreased
    academic performance, change their form of wearing clothes, their attitude in class or home may
    all be due to bullying, etc. A lot of times when someone suffer bullying do not report it 64
    percent of children who were bullied did not report it; only 36 percent reported the bullying
    (Guckenburg, and Hanson). They think if they report the abuse the bully will retaliate or they are
    worried about being labeled a snitch.

    On the other hand, bullying has a lot of negatives consequence to the people who suffer
    it. For example, depression and anxiety, changes in sleep and eating patterns, loss of interest in
    activities they used to enjoy, and they are more likely to miss or drop out of the school. The most
    dangerous aspect of bullying is when the victims make the decision to commit suicide, since In
    2012, suicide was the 2nd cause of death for young people (McIntosh & Drapeau).
    In conclusion, bullying is when someone is being hurt either by words or actions. Also,
    there exists different types of bullying not only physical, also verbal, cyber, and sexual. They
    affect a lot of students in the Unites States and the consequences destroy the victims. For
    example, bullied students will have change in sleep, loss of interest in school activities and in the
    most extreme case the suicide. However, remember No one can make you feel inferior without
    your consent (Tim Field).
