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 আপনি are, God forbid it will happen, being picked on, which hurts more. The in-your-face mockery, অথবা the whispered taunts and insults that come after it has 'stopped', but are right now being used in conversation behind আপনি that আপনি feel too powerless and insecure to stop? Most say it's the gossip and whispers. But, আপনি see, these things ব্যক্ত behind your back are not meant to hurt আপনি 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 আপনি are out with friends. আপনি see someone, from your school, অথবা just someone in general. They have ব্যক্ত something, they look 'weird', they dress oddly. আপনি can't help but giggle with your friends. Each one of আপনি under pressure to impress the others. Do আপনি realise আপনি are picking on them? No, আপনি are 'having a laugh'. Do আপনি know this is bullying? Secondly, bullying creates bullying. Again, I'm going to ask আপনি to think. When আপনি have been bullied, recently অথবা not so recently, does anything feel better than not being victimised, than finding the faults in others? Doesn't that make আপনি feel better about yourself, because আপনি are the cool one, আপনি 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.
