There are three key elements to stopping bullying: educating the bullies, punishing the bullies, and protecting the victim.
The reason that bullies must be educated is that many of them are not aware of exactly how much they are hurting their victim. Most bullies wouldn’t want their victim to become as suicidal as they have made them.
Bullying can come in all sorts of forms and one that affects girls in particular is a group of socalled friends excluding them from everything. In cases like these if the bullies understood that they had become bullies picking on a victim, they may think twice.
The second way to deal with the bullies is to punish them. This could be the only thing that works for incredibly bad people, because they will only care when it begins to affect them. Bullying often isn’t taken seriously enough, for example, if you punched a person in the middle of the street you would probably be arrested, but if it happens in a case of bullying, the perpetrator might only get a detention.
The final main way to deal with bullying involves working with the victim. Victims of bullying need to their self worth so that they don’t just let people bully them. All in all, there is no one single solution for bullying, but it’s not good enough to ignore it just because it’s hard to deal with. But by using a combination of these three tactics we maybe able to stop it.
