There is not a single person who likes to tolerate, endure, or undergo the process of being bullied. Bullying is a chain of verbal or physical abuse that an instigator performs on their victim in an attempt to exploit the victim's insecurities, only so the same initiator may feel better about their own faults. There is no excuse for it, nor should anyone condone it and allow it to fester in a society that has worked so hard to build an anti-bullying awareness front. Many people have multiple ways to try and solve bullying and they all see bullying disparately. Bullying is a problem, but it is not a destructive, long-term problem that many people make it out to be.

This viewpoint may seem as an easy and simple solution to someone who has not experienced the full, frontal effects of bullying, but to the abused, it is the hardest solution to choose. Many teenagers have been bullied with harassment during school and cyberbullying outside of school, which proves that bullying has evolved from a kid getting beat up at school to non-stop emotional harassment at home, via the internet (Faris 1). The evolution of bullying not only has evolved into more ways a bully can harass another person but it also has increased how long a person can get bullied, therefore kids feel like they have no safe haven. "Victimization is also significantly related to suicidal ideation, social isolation, anxiety, and depression" (Faris 1). Anyone who has ever been subjected to bullying can develop future feelings of self-doubt, feelings of worthlessness, or in worse case scenarios ideas of suicide and death (Faris 1). Yet, if a victim chooses to not allow the bully to continue to take advantage of them, then scenarios previously stated can be halted. The effects of bullying on young people's mental health are serious and should not be taken lightly, but it does not have to define who that person is or what that person can become if only that person would choose to not let
Bullying is very bad and because of this about 160,000 of 13,000,000 kids stay home so they don’t get bullied by anyone.

Since many kids around the world are being bullied schools have been starting an anti-bullying system which brings bullies down by 15%. When kids reported bullying 80% of it is name calling, 39% is hitting or shoving, 38% is threats, 29% is rumor spreading, etc. Everyone should always remember one rule and that is the golden rule, the golden rule is to treat others how they want to be treated, but some bullies just don’t understand so they make everyone feel bad about themselves.
Bullying is defined as the prolonged malicious act of harming peers by abusing their own--or an existing imbalance of--power, and has become one of the most common sources of trauma among adolescents. One report shows that one of three children were victims of bullying during some point in their life, and that 10-14% of all adolescents were victims of chronic bullying for at least six months prior to participating in the survey. Children who were victims of bullying are also found to be at a higher risk of diagnoses for anxiety disorders and depression during young and middle adulthood. These victims are reported to be more likely to have lower levels of general/physical health, and lower educational acquirements than young and middle-aged adults who were not bullied (Wolke & Lereya, 2015). Because bullying is such a prominent problem, citizens, policymakers, and social scientists alike, should feel or have some social and moral obligation to address, and hopefully avert bullying. The state of bullying, and how it is enacted, is constantly changing and adapting to social frameworks. Because bullies can adapt to social changes and regulations, we, as a society, should be equally adaptive in how we perceive, address, prevent, and punish bullying.

Students are more likely to suffer from academic problems, absenteeism, loneliness and loss of friends especially when the bullying behavior is severe and prolonged (Robert & Coursol, 1996). Children who are targets of aggression are also more likely to be depressed and develop low self-esteem (Gottheil
