    Teens should not be bystanders to bullying, nor should they be a bully. Being a bystander is just as bad if not worse than bullying. By being a bystander you are standing there watching someone harm another person. Bullying is evil, humiliating, and is life threatening. If you bully, you can seriously hurt someone, whether it’s physically or mentally and in some cases even both. Even if you think you’re just joking, the other person may not think of it as joke, they could think you’re being serious. Also, you don't know that person's background or “story” you don't know what they have been through or what may really hurt them.…

A child who is bullied may lose interest in a school activity because someone in that activity is bullying them. That causes them to feel hopeless, and depressed.

Whether it was being called a derogatory name, being singled out because of your race, or even somebody saying something inappropriate about you on facebook. All of these examples are far too familiar in today’s society. So familiar, in fact, that statistics show that one out of every four teens face problems with bullying on a daily basis, whether it is mentally, verbally or physically (Fox,3). Bullying has not only ruined the lives of victims, but also ruined the lives of the bullies themselves.

Bullying is a fact of modern society, however, knowing the psychological and even physical effects that bullying can cause, preventative measures should be taken by parents, teachers and school administrators to abolish bullying for good.…
