Bullying, a crime or not?? 64% of people think that bullying should be a crime, 10% of people think that if there is any physical harm in the bullying then it should be a crime and the others don't think it’s a crime at all. I think that bullying is a very horrible thing but I don't know if it should be a crime.



      What is bullying? Bulling is repeated violence or harassment on a person. My reasons for bullying being a crime is that, number 1, is that it hurts many people in emotions as well as physical. People if they bully, should have a great punishment, but not like going to jail or that serious. Maybe like community service or something like that. Scientist's say that bullying happens often in elementary schools, but even more in high schools. Mostly boys get bullied more then girls, but girls do get bullied as well. Bullying can lead to kids committing suicide as well as being depressed for the rest of there lives. There are many types of bullying such as cyber bullying, which is when kids bully kids on the internet through facebook, twitter etc…. Another type of bullying is when you bully in school. This type is the one that happens very frequently. Most kids when being bullied don’t talk to anyone and just hide in the shadows. They should be telling a parent or if they are too scared to, then talk to a councilor. That is one of the things that kids do not do. Very recently bullying is become a well known thing to about everyone. We now have days where kids where pink because of a boy who got bullied, for wearing pink. People are very aware of bullying nowadays so bullying has come down a lot.



     Bullying is a very horrible thing. People should stop bullying kids for their looks as well as how they dress. I believe that bullying should be a crime but not a very harsh crime such as going to jail. Hope what I said gives you an idea of how bullying is a very bad thing to do and lets help stop bullying.
