The last post(For now)

Okay guys, this may be our last post for the time being, and it involves how I feel about bullying. Okay, say you see this big guy basically dominating over a smaller guy. Would you admire the big guy or help the smaller guy? I know what most peoples answers will be, so just think about it. A big guy, and a small guy. The bully isn't tough, in fact, he's a weakling. I mean seriously, he might as well bully a 3 year old. Go pick on somebody your own size. Where do you think that phrase came from?
To conclude, bullies are in fact, cowards. So

FEAR NOT THE BULLY!

Why bully?

Hello readers, the BB team is back in business. Here's a little joke I made up. Why did the ex-bully work as a Chef? 
So he could beat the eggs and whip the cream! Okay, okay,I know it's lame and all that but I'm not very creative. Back to business. So, tell me, why do bullies bully? To them it may be a way of being popular, or making themselves look tough and in charge. Some bullies do it to get attention or to make other people fear them. Others might do it out of jealousy, like if they like the person who likes the victim. However, you have to look at their back ground before judging the bully as they may be being bullied themselves.Some bullies may not even understand how wrong their behavior is and how it makes the victim feel. Some times it's because the victim is different, but face it, we're all different. Even identical twins are different somehow. 
And victims, don't hide your feelings, it's not weak to feel hurt. tell the bullies how you feel because they may have meant for it to be harmless teasing. If he or she still continues, tell an adult or someone with power over him.
And remember,
  
FEAR NOT THE BULLY!

Stop bullying

Hi there readers. Chances are, you have or have been bullied before. We, the Bully Busters, have a vision to stop bullying, or at least reduce it. So, to all the bullies out there, think about this before you bully some one next time. Is bulling really worth it? Why do it? Is it pride? Or maybe you think that person is 'Uncool'? Think of it this way. He or she may be at a disadvantage now, but in future, it may be  reversed. They may think back to when YOU bullied them, and return the favor (not that we encourage them to do that of course).
And to the other readers,


FEAR NOT THE BULLIES!

Bullying

Cyber-bullying is only one kind of bullying, there are many other kinds of bullying.Physical, verbal, social alienation and intimidation are the most common kinds of bulling(other than cyber-bullying). Social alienation is one of the worst kinds of bullying as unlike physical bullying, where the bruises fades away after time, it affects the person's emotions as well. Being a bystander is just as bad, as you are indirectly bullying the person as well, even if you do not mean to.
So FEAR NOT THE BULLY!

Cyber Bullying

If you think that cyber bullying is a small matter, you're dead wrong. Over 35% teens have been cyber-bullied worldwide, but less than 20% of the victims inform their parents. Not many parents know what to do, and so school counsellors play a part in this issue.
Here are some tips in case you are cyber-bullied


  • Tell a trusted adult about the bullying, and keep telling until the adult takes action.
  • Ignore the messages from the bullies.
  • Tell your school if it is school related.
  • Don’t erase the messages as they may be needed as evidence.
  • Never agree to meet with anyone you meet online.
  • If bullied through chat or instant messaging, the bully can normally be blocked.
  • If you are threatened with harm, inform the local police as this is against the law.
But whatever you do, do not retaliate as that would be considered bullying too.


Cyber bullies are cowards, they hide behind a computer screen.
But in truth, they do not dare face you.
So fear not the bully!
