Full Stop Bullying Part One

So I'm planning to write a series of blogs about bullying that I'm branding 'Full Stop Bullying' to help teens who feel suicidal and to stamp out bullying all together.

Bullying is a major issue within many schools and communities all over the world. We see films where teens get bullied almost all of the time now-a-days. Does this mean that bullying has been condoned to the normal routine in schools?

No matter who you are or what you've done, no-one deserves to be bullied or abused. Bullies can make a person feel unwanted, weak and horrible inside and out. This point is widely publicized on the web and in schools but how much good does it actually do?

We know the extent victims will go to when they feel undermined by these creatures that feel it is OK to abuse someone. This could be from taking time away from society, to severe depression and in more extreme cases, suicide.

Personally, I don't feel as though anyone should feel unwanted or hated and the thought of young, innocent teens taking their lives because of some inconsiderate bullies makes me sick.

The statistics of teen suicide attempts is very alarming and disturbing:
- 14 per cent of high school students have considered suicide
- 7 per cent have attempted suicide
- Half of suicides in Britain are linked to bullying

Many films are made about bullying but I'm not sure whether this sometimes promotes bullying rather than stops it.
There are several different types of bullying including:
- Physical abuse (punching, kicking)
- Verbal abuse (swearing, homophobic)
- Cyber abuse (typing offensive topics on the internet)
- Indirect verbal abuse (spreading rumors)

If you have ever been the bully or you are the bully, I strongly urge you to to stop. Bullies are small minded cowards that have no lives and its safe to say they're going nowhere in life anyway! If someone is getting upset and you think it's a joke. It's not.

You wouldn't want to be responsible for someone committing suicide and you wouldn't want to be in the victims situation. Think before you act is a very relevant point.

This is part one of my Full Stop Bullying blog which has quite a few installments, the second part will be on here soon where I will be homing in on the topic of teen suicide.

Thank you for taking the time to read this but I believe that if we all understood a little more about bullying, we could stop it all together.
