They either bully people because they get bully at home, school, or work so they decide to take their anger out on other people by bullying them.

    Title: Dealing with bullying

    The article was explaining what bullying is and the type of people that usually get bullied also I read the people that get bullied can develop mental health issues such as low self esteem, stress, depression and even suicide. The people that are the bullies as they get older it may get worse. It's estimated that 1 out of 4 elementary school bullies will have a criminal record by the time they are 40. It talks about how to deal with the bullying and that its wrong to bully because everyone is different from eachother cultural wise and personality wise and even looks. No one is perfect everyone should be treated the same way.

    1. Bullying

    2. http://www.stopbullying.gov/prevention/index.html

    3. Parents, school staff, and other adults in the community can help kids prevent bullying by talking about it, building a safe school environment, and creating a community-wide bullying prevention strategy. Help kids understand bullying. Talk about what bullying is and how to stand up to it safely. Tell kids bully is unacceptable. Make sure kids know how to get help.
