    Bullies Are Criminals

    Bullying is a constant problem in schools today. It starts with annoying comments, but

    escalates to more severe matters. We’ve seen it happen, and a lot of us know how it feels. None

    of us like it. People might say they are just ignorant kids, but bullies truly are criminals, stealing

    self-esteem and at times ending lives.

    First of all, bullying is a crime, because of the serious effects it can have on an individual.

    “And, once robbed of their self-esteem they can suffer from mental and physical problems, drop

    out of school and even commit suicide.” (Dimond 1) “Many adults still get teary recalling their

    humiliating days at the hands of the class bully, mainly because bullies don’t operate alone.

    They pick up sycophantic disciples along the way and that multiplies the victim’s pain.”

    (Dimond 2) The old saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt

    me?” (Steiny 2) isn’t necessarily true; words hurt. Maybe not physically, but when kids already

    have insecurities, bullies don’t help. They build on those insecurities and insult the different

    qualities of kids. No one likes the way insults feel, and this is why bullies are criminals and

    deserve more severe consequences.

    Secondly, bullying can end in a tragic death. Though it does not happen often, it has

    happened. The usual event is suicide of the victim, or a violent act by the bully that may end in

    murder. For example, “15 year old Phoebe Prince hung herself after being harassed by

    classmates who threw cans at her before speeding off.” (Scholastic Scope 1) Phoebe had been

    Student 2

    bullied for almost three months before this occurred. There is also teenager Larry King who was

    shot in the head in front of a teacher and a whole classroom full of students. (Dimond 2) These

    horrible events can start for many reasons including jealousy, gender bias, or racism; it just isn’t

    right. Bullies are criminals; they terrorize and harass their victims, ripping apart their selfesteem and
    attacking their insecurities until the unthinkable happens; violence or even a tragic

    death.

    People often think that bullies don’t see the effects of their actions, or that they don’t

    understand what they are doing to others. The thing is, bullies understand what they are doing.

    Whether the bullies are kids or adults, they know it is wrong. Bullying someone is abuse. Some
    people might say, “Bullying is really common. What are we going to do, send half of American

    kids to jail?” (Scholastic Scope 2) Half of American kids won’t end up in jail because there are

    other alternatives. For instance, bullies could be required to do community service, therapy, or

    be made to visit a prison to be shown what their future may be. In addition, parents, schools, and

    kids need to work together. The problems won’t go away on their own. We need to look at the

    facts of each case and take the appropriate action.

    In short, bullying needs to stop! Bullying is a criminal act. Bullies harass, make threats,

    terrorize, and use verbal and physical abuse on their victims. We need to stand up to bullies and

    not let them strip us of our self-esteem. Bullies must face the consequences of their actions with

    either therapy or some version of criminal punishment. Maybe if we take a group of bullies to

    visit a jail to show them how rough their life could turn out, they may rethink their behavior.

    Please sign my petition asking the principal to arrange such an outing.
