Stand Up to Bullying
Bullying is wrong and has many negative effects on a person. Before you bully someone you need to think of everything that will come with it. Bullying isn't just words and should be taken very seriously.
Teen Suicide is Serious
Teen suicide's rates have grown a lot and this is really bad. Many people think that depression isn't as serious as it really is and adults don't try to stop it which can lead straight to suicide. Over half of teens that do commit suicide were being bullied and couldn't stand up to or go through the hurt any longer
Types of Bullying:
Physical
Physical Bullying engages the bully and the bullies into a physical fight between each other. Many people think this is the only type of bullying but it is not. It can leave bruises or physical harm more than emotional.
Verbal
Verbal bullying is not anything physical it is more emotional and more commonly found in girls. Verbal bullying can hurt even worse than physical because words can be powerful and stick with someone longer than wounds.
Cyber
Cyber bullying is more common now than ever because technology is more advanced and easier to use. The bully might find it easier to hit their target because they aren't face to face with them. Social Networking sites make it easy to find and bully someone.
Mental Disorders
Mental Disorders are very serious and have many effects on people. Mental disorders are not yet to be concluded if they are really diseases or just mental issues. Even though they can cause big issues scientists can't rule them as diseases because no cell or tissue test can show if someone have a mental disorder or not. They're are many mental disorders including:
- Anxiety disorders, including panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder,post-traumatic stress disorder, and phobias
- Bipolar disorder
- Depression
- Mood disorders
