Social justice means an equal and fair opportunity for everyone to live in just conditions of the society. It predicts rights regarding social, economic and political matters for the all over development of a person to live a healthy social life.
Bullying is one of the most important problem in our society. Bullying comes in many different forms, from cyber bullying to physical bullying. It is not right and it has to stop.

When they walked out, one of my friend called them over to say it was a prank and ask them how come they didn’t help. Some people were like "sorry I’m in rush" and some people just refuse to listen what my friend had to say and walked away. On the other hand, there were some people who helped stop bullying. There was a girl who actually pushed one of my friend and told them if they don't stop she will call the police. Then I told her it's just a prank and I thanked her for doing what she should have done. At one point I told my friends to stop pranking people because I was surprise by people’s behavior.
