Words can be very hurtful to people. Bullying is not only present in children, but happens to adults to. Whether it be in the workplace or the next door neighbor, bullying is everywhere.
It is common for adults and children to suffer in silence. Bullying can progress more and more, until someone can't possibly take anymore. Bullying is often untreated as schools and businesses, commonly fail to spot the signs. There is sometimes a lack in preventative measures, demonstrated by schools and work places. This can prove to be very frustrating for any individual suffering from bullying. This can often lead to people moving house, quitting their job and quitting school.
Bullying can occur in a number of different ways. Firstly we have physical bullying, where a child is physically attacked. This could be with a persons own bear hands, or weapons may be used to cause harm. Verbal bullying includes harassment and name calling and can be just as hurtful as other forms of bullying. Verbal bullying can occur face to face, but even worse people can be harassed and tormented, with the use of electronic devises and this form is known as cyber bullying. Electronic devises such as mobile phones, instant messaging and the internet are very common.
In some circumstances bullying can often lead to suicide. It can be hard to identify the suicide signs, especially when you are not aware of any problems.
