Among the multitude of tiny scabs and cuts we\u2019ve garnered as children, we all have at least one or two invisible scars\u2014flecked on our skin by the painful experience that is bullying.<\/p>\n
Most people grow up and move on from the torture, but there are still people who hold it inside themselves\u2014the pressure weighing down on them as time passes. There are even some who cannot handle the pressure, and resolve their problems by simply ending their lives.<\/p>\n
Although, suicide isn\u2019t the only trouble that bullying brings. There are some people who grow up to be insecure and have a low self-esteem. The pressure that bullying brings can deteriorate a person\u2019s social skills\u2014which could sometimes lead to depression. Bullying may as well be equivalent to a disease as it slowly eats you inside.<\/p>\n
Millions of people over the world have been campaigning against bullying for a very long time now. But standing around in the heat of the sun, waving signs that read \u201cNo to bullying!\u201d or making videos and petitions online cannot change the mind of bullies fully.<\/p>\n
To destroy the high walls of bullying, it must be done little by little.<\/p>\n
What causes this, anyway? Is it because bullying suddenly became a trend, or because it would make someone look \u201cbadass\u201d <\/em>or \u201ccool<\/em>\u201d? Well, yes and no\u2014there are a lot of people who do it because it was done once to them, or because they feel insecure about themselves\u2014and most of the time, because they are afraid that this person may be something more than they are.<\/p>\n The bottom line is that bullying affects us all\u2014victims and <\/em>perpetrators. There is no other way out of the tunnel, that is\u2014unless we all decide that enough is enough and we work not just to get rid of bullying, but also to help each other recover from the scars inflicted upon all of us.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
