Any kind bullying is painful, but it’s often unrecognized that many bullies face mental problems of their own—either at home or at school—and look for ways to take their emotions out on others. In other words, bullies are the weak ones, not their victims.
Often the easiest targets are those who seem to be the weakest: the nicest or quietest people. Or they pick on people who stand out from others. “Anything out of the norm can make you a target---anything that brings undue attention to yourself,” US high school teacher Jeff Ward told The Daily Universe newspaper.
This may be true, but that doesn’t mean that the victims have themselves to blame. “You did not ask to be bullied,” bullying prevention anthor Sherri Gordon told Very Well Family website. “The bully made that choice and you are in no way responsible for another person’s thoughts and actions.”
For those who are neither bullies nor victims, if you know someone who’s being bullied, don’t just stand by and let it happen. At the end of the day, knowing what’s right doesn’t mean much unless you do what’s right.
