Bullying in the school environment is by no means rare, or recent occurrence. However, in recent incidents, their intensities and results seem to have reached new destructive heights. In my current city high school, I was shocked that there were 5 suicides recently from teenagers who are teasing. According to one of my local news stations, www.foxnews.com, at Mentor High School there are teenage suicides bullied for over three years for over three years (Mentor, Ohio).
First of all, suicide is the fourth most common cause of death among young Americans. Bullying is the leading cause of American youth suicide. Bullying is the same regardless of whether you use online harmful words or speak for themselves. Thousands of young people commit suicide every year. Phoebe Prince was bullied by nine teenagers who harassed by writing insulting remarks or posting degraded photos on the Internet. It enlarged to the extent that a teenager faced Phoebe, physically abusing her and raping her. Phoebe's parents knew that this harassment is happening, they tried to help by talking to the school, but the teenagers did not stop Pharabe from harassing. On January 14, 2010, Phoebe himself was in her room. If there is a law prohibiting harassment like "cyber bullfight", the powerful person can take action before the harassment escalates to physical abuse or rape. If she had stopped bullying, Phoebe's life might have been saved.
Bullying is not something everyone should despise. One in four people is a bully. In cyberbullying, 43% of online teens are victims of bullying. The actual number of victims of cyber bully depends on the age group in that area. Some bullying victims can ask for help from parents, guardians, teachers, or school counselors to solve the problem of bullying. Unfortunately, in recent years, some teenagers have suffered from numerous abuses in the hands of bullying, so they commit suicide to avoid constant abuse.
Studies have shown that homosexual teenagers are being bullied more than two to three times more than homosexual teenagers. Interestingly, according to the same survey, homosexuals and lesbian teenagers are the least likely to be bullying others. Even if the victim is not really homosexual, the bully sometimes makes a colleague laugh with homosexual insults and shameful remarks. Bully is aimed at various children. Studies have shown that young people with learning disabilities, emotional disorders, behavioral disorders, and even food allergies are at high risk of being bullied. For example, adolescents with attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are often hard to keep up with classmates' reading, and are ridiculed. If left untreated, adolescents with ADHD and other illnesses may become the main target of bullies
