Dear Mr Dastagir,

Hello my name is Diego and I want to talk to you about the bullying in our school. When I walk down the corridors, or in the playground I always hear pupils been racist towards each other only, because they are from an another country.
Sometimes people don’t think about what they are going to say, so they hurt each other with racist comments.

When people are new to this school,they always get bullied for the following reasons:

1. People always annoy new people by telling them that they are rubbish at everything.

2. Some kids have learned bullying from others, (brothers, sisters or friends).They have seen them getting their way by being angry or pushing other people around. They believe that by putting fear in you, they will have the best shot at everything in school or in your neighbourhood.

Bullying is crime to a certain extent. Once it starts hurting the victim really bad emotionally and physically, it should be considered a crime. It affects everyone, aswell in the victim’s life and no one should have to feel threatened all the time. The teachers that see bullying but don’t do anything about it are the most responsible. They have the authority to stop the bully and punish them. If they witness it they could address the issue to the principal and call the bully’s parents.

The cause of the bullying could be household problems causing them to feel angry all the time or upset so they bully to make themselves feel better. Telling the parents could let them know what their child is up to and they can reach out to the child and help or get them help. Students that are bystanders are responsible. They can go and tell a teacher who yet again has the authority to do something about it. The main thing is if more people stand up the bully will stand down. If the victim tends to be smaller i doubt the words they will call the bully will really affect them. Since the bully started it and forced the victim to try and fight back some way it shouldn’t be the same as bullying their just trying to get the bully to stop, the only way to stop bullying is to stop the bully and stop standing by.

Bullying has become a big abuse,bullying comes in many shapes and forms. Being the last picked for a team, excluded from a party, pushed in the hallway, or teased are just a few examples of bullying. Parents, teachers, and students hear it, see it, but how to intervene and prevent bullying is the big question. What do teachers and parents let slide or put a stop to? When peers see bullying, do they get involved? What if the bully turns their attention onto them as a new victim? Or if they report the incident to an adult, they run the risk of being labeled as a tattle-tail? From an adult’s perspective, how can they punish what they do not see?. However, words hurt most of all. yet a child’s broken spirit can be considerably worse. So it must be stopped.

Bullying has been a growing issue over the years – it is about time to make it stop! The number of kids that are starting to become victims as well as bullies is increasing. Bullying is a major problem that we haven’t been able to stop. Every year more and more people are bullied at school and online, and even at work.In my opinion I think these people are crying out for help.

Thanks for listening

Your sincerely Diego 7W1p
