For a long time, there was nothing being done to stop bullying. "Don't pay any attention" or "Just ignore it", would be the response you'd get if you were to tell an adult, but that never worked. Bullies would go out of their way to make their victims miserable. Nowadays, they are being faced with consequences for their actions. We need to take a closer look though at what makes them a bully. My story tells what I went through and my explanation, "It's something they don't like about themselves so they put others down to make themselves feel better. In general, that is it, but there are specific factors such as disruptive home life, harsh parental discipline, peer delinquency, living in an area where the crime rate is high or use of alcohol. While a bully's behavior is unacceptable, it is also a cry for help. With this being said. I hope my story will help victims of bullying, realize that it isn't, at all, them.
