Bullying can be defined to so many different opinions. One may think bullying is funny and just a joke, one may think others deserve it, one may intentionally try to hurt another....
It's not funny.
I've watched so many YouTube videos lately on various subjects. When you watch a video, related videos pop up and you end up watching random videos on random subjects... Now bullying is one that I found disturbing.
There seems to be so many people that feel bullied which lead them to have suicidal thoughts, lack self esteem and self confidence. And I bet the people don't realise that this is how they're words and actions make other people feel. We are all the same human beings. Why should one person think they are more intelligent than another, more good looking than another, think that in any way they are better than another...
Words can hurt. You may not think that your one sentence can hurt that other person... You may think that you're just joking...but how do you know how the other person is going to take what you are saying. Maybe they have other issues in their life and your words relate to them. Don't say things to other people that you wouldn't like if they said it to you. Think before you speak.
I think bullying can depend on the person. You can take people's words how you want to. Some may be able to ignore them, disregard it...others may be affected by them.
I see teenagers and adults on YouTube, crying out for help.... Some threatening to end their life and others who have ended their life. Because of words said to them by someone else. This is unacceptable. Why should someone be made to feel like that. Alienated and bullied to the point that they want to take their life. It's not a sign of weakness... It's how people have made them feel. If you're constantly told you are useless, worthless, no one will ever want you, no one wants to be your friend... You start to believe it. Especially if you are young and impressionable.
I wish I could do something to stop things like this happening but I can't. Life is full of this and for some reason, there is always a problem with race, weight, height, gender, sex and sometimes...no reason. Just because people have been bullied themselves they feel the need to bully other people. I think bullies usually have their own insecurities and have to hurt someone else to make themselves feel a better person. This is wrong.
I think we all have words we regret saying to someone else... But realise it and/or fix it. No one should have to feel bullied for no reason. Every person has the same feelings and we are all the same human beings.
I hope that the people I have heard about realise how strong they are and that through all the things they experience, they will become stronger and a better person than the nasty people who hurt them.
Can't we live a life where everyone can be nice to each other?
