Do you enjoy school and look forward to it? Sometimes I do, sometimes I dont. I find school to be very enjoyable, however, when bullies get involved thats a different story.

In our society, I think that bullying is a major issue. In this day and age, so many children, teens and young adults find themselves with a cellphone, an iPod touch, a tablet or computer in their hands.

All of this technology caused bullying to go from a minor issue of teasing to a terrible case of cyberbullying in a matter of years. Back in the 1960s, cyberbullying was not really much of a concern as there were no cellphones or tablets that could give people the power to even text or email someone something mean. Now, 78% of all teenagers own a cellphone, which makes cyberbullying a major issue.

Also, bullying is a problem in school too. As a seventh grader, almost daily I hear someone putting others down or laughing at someone because they could not do something as well as them. However, due to my experiences, bullying is not nice, and you will only earn a title of mean.

Many tweens and teens find themselves in situations where they are pressured to say something mean to another person. However, only a few say, No, that is not nice. I would never say that! and walk away. Many people just join in thinking that they will earn acceptance into the cool group. That is not how it works.

Once people open their eyes and really think about what they are saying, we may notice a change in society.

In this society, 30% of teenagers have been in a bullying situation.

However, we, as members of a society can change that. Just by smiling at someone who looks sad in the hallway, or inviting the student who sits alone at lunch to come sit with you will help this situation.

Additionally, in order to reduce bullying, you have to stand up to the people who are not being kind, even if you are not involved in the situation.

Heres the thing: if you ignore someone being mean to another person and just walk away, you make the problem worse. A very easy solution to this issue is to just stand up and say, Hey, you shouldnt be saying that, or That is really mean, why would you say that? and then, tell the person who is being bullied, Lets go hang out, somewhere else.

These few words will most likely change someones life. If you are caught in a group of people saying mean things about others, dont just sit there and be silent, get up and say, Hey, that isnt nice, how would you feel if that was said about you, and then walk away.

Also, if you are being bullied, you can say, How would you like it if I said that about you, and then walk away. This will make the issue most likely disappear because you are showing the bullies that they dont bother you.

Also, if you are being bullied, you show tell a trusted adult as they can give you some guidance on how to deal with the bullying. If us as members of a society stand up to bullying, in a matter of years, the amount of children, teens, and young adults who are bullied will decrease.

So, next time you see someone being bullied, or you are being bullied, just stand up to them and the bullies will realize there is no point in being mean if you stand up to them.
