I've been on both sides of the coin when it comes to bullying. I'll explain. The point is, most people do not know what bullying is. Think about it. When آپ are, God forbid it will happen, being picked on, which hurts more. The in-your-face mockery, یا the whispered taunts and insults that come after it has 'stopped', but are right now being used in conversation behind آپ that آپ feel too powerless and insecure to stop? Most say it's the gossip and whispers. But, آپ see, these things کہا behind your back are not meant to hurt آپ as such. They are intended as a joke between friends, which is at your expense. Do they realise they are picking on you? No, they are 'having a laugh'. Do they know this is bullying? Next, consider the times آپ are out with friends. آپ see someone, from your school, یا just someone in general. They have کہا something, they look 'weird', they dress oddly. آپ can't help but giggle with your friends. Each one of آپ under pressure to impress the others. Do آپ realise آپ are picking on them? No, آپ are 'having a laugh'. Do آپ know this is bullying? Secondly, bullying creates bullying. Again, I'm going to ask آپ to think. When آپ have been bullied, recently یا not so recently, does anything feel better than not being victimised, than finding the faults in others? Doesn't that make آپ feel better about yourself, because آپ are the cool one, آپ are in power? I know it will be hard for people to admit to doing these things, but be honest, because we can only stop bullying if we come clean and make a personal change. We must address the roost of the problem- ignorance and low self-esteem. Only then will we be able to stop bullying.
