TEENS: What are your views of bullying?

[Marley]

It's gotten worse, definitely.

Social media does have an effect. Last year, two classes at my school got into a fight that turned into a real life fist fight from Facebook.

To try and do something about bullying, people just have to stand up and say no. Teachers have to intervene immediately, which some don't, and kids have to be taught either self-defense for violent occasions only, or learn to just ignore it.

Gay bashing and slut shaming are just downright stupid. I would never bash someone for who they are or who someone may have slept with. It's just none of my business. Why treat someone horribly because you don't agree with what they have done?

I have said a couple of bad things to a girl in my elementary school but I have learned from it, apologized and now know a lot better. I have been bullied as well.
