Introduction

Bullying is defined as one or more people engaging in direct negative activities towards a target, such as teasing, threatening, beating, or stealing. Victims are frequently picked on because of their weight, clothing choice, gender preference, skin colour, language, disabilities, and various other factors that vary from person to person. Some people believe that bullies should not be expelled because they rationalise the act and attribute a reason behind that kind of behaviour. While it is true that bullies might have their reasons and might be going through things in their personal life leading to their behaviour, there need to be dire consequences since their behaviour is so detrimental to other people.

Body

Victims of bullying often suffer from low self-esteem, feelings of inadequacy, problems regulating rage, and isolation. This arises due to their experience of being treated as inferior or weaker. There is sufficient evidence to establish that the victim is strongly negatively impacted in instances of bullying. Hence, the victim's emotions should take precedence over the bully's. The bully opted to purposely injure a person without regard for their feelings and hence should be penalised. Even in cases where instructors are bullies, all bullies must be removed from schools! 

Teachers as bullies can cause just as much harm to a child, if not more. The victims of torment may end up skipping school, quitting learning, etc. People who have experienced bullying as children, when they reach their youth, tend to have considerably more mental health issues than their peers who have not. 

Aftermath

Youngsters shouldn't attempt to settle issues related to bullying themselves as in most situations. Just trying to talk it out amongst themselves does not usually solve the issue. Adult intervention is often required. Hence it is wiser to address guardians, instructors, or elderly folks, whom the kid trusts.

Additionally, it may be worthwhile to restrict the viewing of murders, battles, and brutality on TV and the Internet for youngsters, as this content can lead to them becoming bullies.

Conclusion

To reduce bullying, it is essential to spend class hours discussing the perils of bullying and the benefits of a considerate outlook toward the people around you. It's pertinent for schools to provide therapy sessions to develop tolerance and empathic thinking in relation to others so that the growing generation can understand how their peers feel in a given situation. 

The problem of  bullying is indeed complicated to eradicate from schools immediately. Still, all participants deal with this problem in the educational process (teachers, parents, students), and it is possible to remove bullying gradually.
