What is Bullying?

It is an unwanted, aggressive behavior involving a perceived power in-balance against children. It is violent, dangerous and scary for many children. Bullies are the ones who bully boys/girls in order for them to look cool, popular, etc. 

Bullying is considered as, "A child's nightmare and torture." Some people don't do anything to support the bullied victim. Bullying commonly happens in school and when children are afraid, they are terrified to tell an adult nearby because, they will think that the bully will...

become even more angry and violent. 

Tip: Some adults can be bullies as well? They can bully in their workplace or wherever. "Karens" can also be an example of a bully because they demand to other people with their own ways. They are the ones "who believe to themselves that they are right." 

Bullies can usually belittle others but the truth is, they are very much insecure and some of them experienced emotional trauma or breakdown that causes their self-esteem and their self-concept to collapse. This is why bullies need psychological help and treatments in some cases.

Bullying can make other children feel melancholic because of how they are experiencing the pain in their bodies. Some bullies can make fun of other children's culture, looks and sometimes, intelligence. They can be envious or sarcastic because of the things, you (when you are bullied) are neither good and bad at. Bullying does not only happen at school but it happens anywhere. 

Example: It can be seen or experienced at the playground or at the park. 

Note: Bullying can be done over and over again, until students come together to form up an "anti-bullying club" where they can stop others from bullying once and for all.
