One of the most horrible ways to behave is bullying. It is unforgivable and can take many forms, such as persistently teasing a classmate because of his/her looks (I have known someone bullied because of her naturally red hair), or because he/she is of a different race. It can simply stem out of jealousy or illogical hatred. Whatever the reasons, no one has the right to destroy a person’s confidence or peace of mind by making him or her miserable. Bullying can even result in the victims taking their own lives out of fear. Bullies are cowards and usually hide behind someone else. Despite help being available out there, bullying is on the increase (see attached link for statistics) and it is a wide-spread problem for many families. I have witnessed the inability of schools to stop bullying going on, even when they were repeatedly informed of it, resulting in children having to change schools and interrupt their education. Some people are so affected by it that they hate going to school and are deprived of what should be a rewarding and enjoyable time of their lives.
