My Thoughts on Bullying

It is no surprise that many people think bullying is wrong. I have seen bullying happen and even if i may not be the one that is being bullied, I still sympathize with the person that is being bullied. I am really against it therefore if I see it happening i step in. I have not experienced it where it gets really bad just a few comment here and there. I was taught from a really young age that calling people names is something i should not do. I was taught to respect others no matter who they, what they say, or how they treat me, I am the better person. I really, really find bullying disgusting. It sickens me to know that there are people out there who find joy and humor in hurting another person. What goes through there head? What is the reason? The bully must have something going on in their personal lives that bullying others makes the feel better. Or as simple as they just want to be funny. I truly believe schools do not do enough. Yes, there is that one poster where it says to stop or the detention hour or suspension but none are really making a difference. I feel as if they should really go more in depth on the punishment. Not hit them or anything just get them where it hurts the most, their ego. I do not know what schools should do but i know for a fact that giving detention, suspensions, or calling their parents is making no difference.
