"LETS Put an End to Bullying."
Bullying is unwanted aggressive behavior. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, or excluding someone from a group on purpose.
Cyber bullying is what happens when people bully each other through electronic technology. Such as text messaging, posting on social websites, putting up embarrassing pictures, videos, websites, or fake videos.
No single factor puts you at risk of being bullied or bullying others. Bullying can happen anywhere, cities, suburbs, or rural towns. Depending on the environment some groups such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, youth with disabilities, and socially isolated youth may be an increased rick of being bullied.
Effects of bullying are linked to many negative outcomes including: impacts on mental health, substance use (alcohol or drugs), and the worst in my opinion (even though I think they all or horrible), suicide. Nobody should have to end their life because they don't feel safe or unwanted.
