We need to stop bullying

Bullying can come in many forms — verbal, physical, cyber, etc.

From what I have seen and heard, people in schools have it worst and something should be done about it.

When the bullying starts it rarely ever stops; it can start with an embarrassing moment or something that the person said or did and then he/she is called names and maybe even bullied physically.

Sometimes for the students being bullied (even during class) the students can’t concentrate, can’t study and can’t do their work either; so the person covers up by not exposing the bully (in case the bully gets angry and bullies the person even more), they start getting in trouble with the teachers, their grades drop and so the bully has turned a great student into one of the worst in the class.

To stop this, inspectors should be sent around to monitor a struggling student’s work and to investigate how all the students behave in general in school and at a break. Bullying is wrong. It wrecks lives so it should be exposed and eradicated like the disease it is.
