Some people choose to bully others because it makes them feel better about themselves. By egging on the bullies it makes them want to bully you. It is mot good to help the bullies but some people do because you want to be cool. In the long run it would not be good because you can get hurt by other people like you do to the people you bully. So that is why people choose to bully others.

Some people chose to bully others because they want to. When someone bullies another, the bully expects to gain respect, and I guess he thinks he'll be cooler. Bullying is all the fault of the bully and the witnesses, not the bullied. I think bullies should be punished depending on the severity of what they've done and how they've bullied. I don't think bullying can really be prevented completely. You can try to make more severe consequences for bullies, to try to keep them from bullying. Overall, I haven't really seen bullying happen in school too much, so I don't think it's a very big problem, but I think they should give it more attention because being bullied can affect the bullied a lot.

1.I believe that bullies bully others because maybe they were bullied as a child.Or maybe they bully others because of family problems.I think bullies should be suspended the first time but expelled the second.Bullying can be prevented by building relasionships with students and make them feel safe.I think bullying is a problem at school because students get called names and get beat up so much that the student might leave school or maybe even commit suicide.

Bullies exist everywhere and in any form, even adults deal with bullies of course these "bullies" are mature and more sophisticated. But why do people bully? Many people say because they are insecure, low self esteem and other feelings such as jealousy. In the book Eric deals with his own bully in prison, Sonny Boy, who threatens Eric to not get in his way. Of course there us no true explanation on why bullies bully but a generalization. In some schools bullying is common and in others it isn't it is swell that whether or not the problem is being looked at

Besides drugs and achohol and stuff like that, bullying is still a big problem in middle schools and high-schools. There are a lot of type of bullies, cyber ones, ones at verbal and others. Bullies really bully people cause sometimes they are probably bullied, but some still do it just for fun. Even though they should get punished for bulling others, if they want they should also get counseling. bullies will always be around, but by putting harsher punishments on them and helping them to, I think we can be able to get bulling lowered in schools, defintly since kids and teens can commit suicide over bulling in extreme cases.

People choose to bully others because they have nothing better to do with their lives. They bully others for their own benefit. Now days, people think they are "cool" if you bully someone else. Well let me tell you, it's not! There's not really any way you can punish a bully, cause their is too many of them. People have tried and tried to prevent bullies. The problem with that now days, is no one listens to what others have to say about that. Bullies won't stop bulling people no matter what. I honestly don't get why. Bulling isn't fun, especially if you're the one being bullied. Bulling is a huge problem in schools, especially high school. I honestly don't think it gets enough attention. I'm sure if it did, then bullies would might actually think about what they are doing with their lives. You can really hurt someone by just a little word you say to them. All I'm saying is grow up, and treat people how you want to be treated.

- Some people choose to bully others because they feel they are not complete with themselves. Bullys expect to gain popularity or even someone who feels sympathy for them. Bullying is more the fault not of the bully himself or the one getting bullied, but the ones the bully might really care about who are hurting them. Bullys might bully because people at home or close ones to them might be giving off a negative reaction toward them. Which makes them want to be mean to people. To take out their anger. Bullies should be punished, but in an unforgetable way. They should be shown they are loved and it's okay to be afraid sometimes. Bullying is everywhere you go. You just have to know when enough is honestly enough.

I agree with you on the fact that bullies bully others because they want to feel better about themselves, and making someone feel worse seems to work.

I think that people choose to bully others because usually in a bullies life, they were either bullied as a kid or they need to feel better about themselves. What these bullies expect out of this life is usually power. Yet when these people bully others, it's usually the fault of him. In my opinion though, bullies shouldn't be punished at all, but better yet talked to in the sense of mental anger and loneliness to try to get them to stop. Bullying can be prevented by letting the bully know what path he or she is heading down.

1. I agree with you 3 bullies do bully others to look cool infront of their friends.

5. Some people choose to bully because sometimes their insecure about themselves and bullying others is a way to feel better about themselves. I think bullies expect to gain more self confidence from bullying by putting others down. I think bullying is more the fault of the bullies because they are the ones that choose to bully others, its not the fault of the people that are getting bullied. I honestly don't think bullies should exactly be punished, but sat down and talked to about their insecurities and why they bully others. Bullying can be prevented if everybody would accept each other for who they are and how they act. Bullying isn't that big of a problem in most schools, I honestly think its given too much attention.

The reason why people bully other people is because they want to feel power. What the bully expects to gain from bullying is to make someone scared of them. The fault lays on the bully not the victim because the victim is the one that the bully is picking on so I say it is the bully who is to blame. The bully should be taken care of by him/her getting a warning and if it still happens then they should ce suspened then they can come back,but if it still happens they need to be expelled.Bullying can be prevented by when it happens report it. Bullying needs the attention because every kid should feel safe when at school.That is how I feel about bullying.

19. There's a big problem around the world with bullying. Many schools make a point to bring up bullying and how to deal with it, but do they know why people bully? I think people choose to bully others because they have issues with their life or they're just not happy with them self so they take it out on others. It's the person that's bullying that's at fault because that person getting bullied couldn't do anything. Bullying can go to extremes. People have committed suicide because people have treated them so terribly. I think there should be an equal punishment to the bully at what they caused to happen to that person that they bullied.
Bullying can be prevented by talking to someone to stop it from happening. Usually you shouldn't take it into your own hands because then i feel like it would just get worse than it already is. Schoo;s don't bring too much attention to bullying because it is certainly a problem among many if not all schools around the world.

Some people chose to bully others because they are trying to get too much attention. Bullies expect to gain from bullying because they are trying to be the big dude or chick. In my opinon I hate bullies. I think the bully is the fault because look at some of the kids who kill themselves because they were bullied. I think the victim should stand up for themselves, or you could put them on that one mtv show bully beatdown. The bully is just a lowlife punk. I think it is a problem because these kids now days are so obessed of getting some much attention so the only way for them to get that attention is bullying and what makes me even more sick is the kids laugh at the victim. So, all in all bullies should grow up and get a life!

1. I agree with number 9 because even though the bully should get punished they should try and help the bully with counseling or something.

I think some people choose to bully others because they could be insecure about themselves and their lives.
I think bullies excpect to gain feelings that make them feel good about themselves. When it comes to bullying i think that its more the bullies fault. I think bullies should be punished by some how giving them an idea of how they effect others. If they realize how they affect others then they should be punished by an someone close to them like family. Bullying can be prevented by just ignoring it or avoiding the situation by switching classes and such.
I think bullying isnt a serious problem but should be seriously attended to in other places. It kind of depends.

17- I think some people choose to bully others because they feel insecure about themselves. Bullies do this so that they can feel better and have a higher selfasteam. It depends on the situation theyre in to see whos fault it really is. Im not really sure how bullies should be punished but I do think they should be. There is not a way to prevent bullying its going to happen either way unfortunitly. I think bullying is a huge problem in schools because thousands of kids every year have considered or had commited suicide because of bullies.

I'd say that when a bully bullies it is done to make themselves feel better of themselves.

I definitely agree with you on the fact that maybe these Bullies themselves were bullied or abused. This plays a huge factor and is commonly found in studies about bulies.

19. I agree with 16. Most bullies want to feel that power that they get from bullying people, but I also think they just feel better about them self when they put other people down.

I agree with you, but in some cases you should try to consider the bully, i mean they bully people sometimes out of other things, so you should try to help them, but when it comes to some cases when the bullied kid does commit suicide, i think that the bully should get punished to full extent.

.11 I think bullying is caused by some people because they like the adrenaline of it. The reason they pick on others is because it makes them feel lioke they are better than that person and some people do it because they like to see people hurt and enjoy seing them be depressed by there work. One of the ways it can be handled is by not trying to get physical evidence but beilive the story through the victims eyes. then a punishment for a bully is a susspension,expeled,community service and, perhaps jail time if it is a harsh enough case. Like tenderness in the book. Eric was bullied by his step-father and his mother didn't stick up for him all that much so he framed the murder burn't himself and made it looked like he was abbused.Also in this book Eric can be thought of a bully as he attacked the guy in jail and could be seen as a more physical like bully.

I agree with you because when a bully torments a kid in front of their friends just so they can be cool is wrong because that bully probably knows it is wrong.
