Leadership in Bullying

Leadership is always important when it comes to bullying.  Bullying affects not only the one being bullied but also the bullier and the people surrounding the situation.  There are many ways that people bully today.  One of the major ways that people are bullied is over the internet.  People think that they can simply hide behind the computer and get away with saying anything, yet it is hurting the people reading the hurtful words.  Another way that people are bullied is by hurtful words.  This happens because usually there is one person in the group that thinks when he/she is around his friends that they can say anything because their friends will back them up.  This is sad that not one of the friends would prevent this bullying from happening.  Too many television shows have shown young kids how to bully and this is only polluting the minds of young teenagers which carries onto their latter years.  Nobody knows how it feels to be bullied until they are being bullied themselves.  As a leader, someone needs to stand up the bullies and tell them that it is not okay to treat someone the way that they are.  Although this will not be stopped overnight, one bully at a time must be stopped.  Disney Channel should also stop presenting the bully into the picture of their show.  Bullying can lead to being arrested which is not what a lot of people know.  However, pictures can be accessed by the police and reported, so people should be careful what they are putting on their phones.  Hopefully as a nation, we can stop bullying worldwide and show people that it is better to just be nice to each other.  It is also easier to just be nice to each other.  The Bible teaches to treat others as you yourself would want to be treated.  Therefore, this is how we should act toward each other.
