Bullying

Bullying is one subject that everyone tries to fight, but in the end, they end up enabling it. I really hate talking about bullying because it is such a delicate topic. There is the serious bullying and then there is the pettiness that we call "drama." The difference is sometimes hard to tell, but then again it also depends on the person who is receiving the bad names and humorless jokes. 

Bullying is a subject that students and even adult workers hide behind because it is easier to blame it on the other person rather than settle the situation. I think the word "bully" is misused everyday because it is overused in today's school systems. Anytime there is a problem at school, students and parents first response is usually bullying when sometimes its just a unresolved conflict that no one wants to deal with.

Our society today hides behind bullying and the prevention of bullying. I think that it is made too aware to the students and society. If it was taken care of behind the scenes and if students would take the action and talk to an adult about their situation then I doubt the problem would escalate into something as tragic as suicide. 

Balancing bullying and drama is hard to balance in school. But our society needs to stop hiding behind the excuse of "my child was being bullied" and actually own up to the real situation.
