Bullying is the number one major issue around the world. Bullying is where someone is harassing you in school or on social media. Cyber-Bullying is where someone bully’s you on social media. That is where most of the bullying happens now, this needs to stop. People around the world are ending their lives because of the words people say. Do you know what it is like to have that burden on your shoulder? Just thinking that what is said to him or her could end their life. People all around the world go through bullying. Some of words that are spoken, people might think that it’s funny but the person you said it too might take it to heart.
People who go through bullying take it to heart. People bully others just want to have attention because really in reality they are hurting on the inside but don’t show it. They want to hurt other people’s feelings because that is what she or he is experiencing. They are putting pain onto other people, because they themselves are experiencing pain. Pain is a really bad word. People should live life the way they want to live it. People should not be brought down for what they wear or the way they present themselves.
In this day and age, kids are just mean to each other. Saying things like they are fat, ugly, or that they should kill themselves. Where are the parents at? If my mom heard me say anything like this to someone, I would be in big, big trouble. They have to treat people they way they want to be treated. Be nice to people because they may never know what that person is going through. It could be something at home, family, friends.

The website that I used to find my information is www.stopbullying.gov. Cyberbullying can happen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and reach a kid even when he or she is alone. It can happen any time of the day or night. Cyberbullying messages and images can be posted anonymously and distributed quickly to a very wide audience. Deleting inappropriate or harassing messages, texts, and pictures is extremely difficult after they have been posted or sent.
