This presentation was on bullying. There are different types of bullying such as physical bullying, cyber bullying, or ostracizing. Males are more than likely prone to physical bullying. Males are considered to be more aggressive than females. Females are more prone to cyber bullying. Physical bullying consists of being punched, kicked, pushed, and other physical harm. Cyber bullying is done on Facebook, Myspace, and cell phones. I can say that I have never been bullied in my lifetime. I'm very thankful for that. However, I know that there have been instances where young people have committed suicide because of the humiliation and shame of be bullied. There have also been instances where the victims of bullying have killed their tormentors because they hated them so much. People usually bully other people because they have no control over what happens to them at home. A person that may be a bully at school may be getting abused or pushed around by their parents or siblings. Most bullies have issues with their self-esteem. They want to feel good about themselves so they make someone else feel badly about their physical appearance, clothes, or disabilities. A bully will never choose someone that is bigger than them because they are intimidated by that person's appearance and physical strength. Females are more likely to pick on average-looking girls and girls that are prettier than them. They want to be seen as pretty so they ruin the other girl's reputation and tend to spread rumors that portray the girl as a "whore". This way all the guys will want nothing to do with her. There was an instance where one girl had to transfer because she had no friends and was getting attacked daily. Hopefully, America will be able to gradually bring a stop to bullying in all forms.
