Bullying has overshadowed a high school, which should be a home of learning, growing, and making memories for many students.

It is a repeated, hurtful behavior that can have a profound impact on a person’s life.

It can take either a verbal form, such as name-calling and spreading rumors, or a social form, like purposely excluding someone or damaging their reputation.

Moreover, bullying also includes physical threats or actions, and a significant amount of it now happens online through cyberbullying.

It leads to feelings of anxiety, loneliness, and low self-esteem, which make students dread going to school, and their grades may suffer. In severe cases, it can lead to depression.

If you are being bullied or witness bullying, tell someone you trust, such as a teacher, parent, counselor, or coach, who can help stop it.

Schools must have clear anti-bullying policies and ensure every student feels safe and respected. Open conversations about kindness and empathy are essential.
