Bullying
Bullying is the act of intentionally causing harm to others, through verbal harassment, physical assault, or other more subtle methods of coereion such as manipulation.Victims of bullying can suffer from long term emotional and behavioral problems. Bullying can cause loneliness, anxiety,depression and can lead to low self-esteem. Most bullying can be prevented. Schools all over the country run types of anti-bullying programs. Bullying can occur in almost any interaction between humans. This could be social groups, social classes and even between countrys. Because bullying is so common taking steps to prevent it is vital. School shootings are usually a result of bullying. In over 2/3 of the cases the attacker felt persecuted, bullied, threatened, attacked, or injured by others prior to the incident. The main thing im trying to say here is dont be a bully. When you bully someone you can cause them alot of problems in thier later years, and cause them to lash out at others who they may have some sort of power over.

Great post, i learned a little bit more about bullying in schools. I didnt know that 2/3 of school shootings were cause by bullying. Well worded.
From reading this post it is clear to see that bullying is a huge problem. Two thirds of school shootings could be prevented if bullying was not so prevelant.Think how many lives could be saved.
