Why do students bully?

There are a lot of problems in high school but two main problems in high school are students bullying and judging others. Students often complain to their parents at school that they are being bullied by other students and don't want to go to school. Usually parents just think it will go away as time goes by, but students still think about why me? Why do people bully in the first place? Some of the answers I have come up with is because they are just jealous. Maybe you have something that they don't that they wish they had. Or maybe they've been raised being bullied and that's the way they are now because it's what they are used to. Some kids bully because they think it's cool but in the end it's really not and they will realize that eventually. Students also bully because of different interests or personalities. Just because your different doesn't mean that you should feel down about yourself or worry about what others think about you. There are some nasty people out there who just get pleasure from seeing another person hurt or upset. Yeah it hurts to hear some things that people have to say about you, but remember that there is always people that love you and care about you like your true friends and family. Try not to let bullying bother you but if it gets to far, immediately tell someone such as a teacher, the counselor, or even the principal if things get way out of hand. There are several ways of being bullied and a lot of people mostly girls cyber bully on websites such as facebook or myspace. There is also physical contact involved with bullying sometimes. There are many different types of bullying but if anything ever gets to out of hand just let someone know as soon as possible. You have the right to feel safe in your own community. It might take time, but just take a deep breath and take it one step at a time.
