But why? Thats the biggest question...

There are many reasons why bullies chose to bully:

• they see other people doing it
• to get into the "in" crowd
• it boost their self esteem
• because it keeps others from bullying them
• they come from backgrounds who permit it

Whether the actions are occasionally or all the time, these are primarily the reasons for them to act out in such a way. No matter the reason, this action has to be stopped in our schools. I'm sure the next question is: What are the schools are doing about this horrible action others are bestowing on others? This is where my research comes in.

I've been looking into multiple websites about bullying and the actions people are taking against this act. If your child is being bullied, tell them there's no need to be afraid to tell higher officials. Thats what they are there for. After the teachers or principles have been told, they are REQUIRED to take some form of action, whether warnings, in-school or out-of-school suspension, or anything to that nature. 

TELL YOUR CHILD THE FIRST STEP TO GETTING RID OF BULLYING IS TO CONFESS THAT THEY ARE IN FACT BEING BULLYING AND POINTING OUT THOSE WHO ARE DOING THE BULLYING.
