Posisitive developpement :

To be honest alot of people dont look at bullying as a bad thing.
Some have argued that bullying can teach life lessons and instill strength. Helene Guldberg, a child development academic, sparked controversy when she argued that being a target of bullying can teach a child "how to manage arguements  and boost their ability to interact with others", and that teachers should not intervene, but leave children to respond to the bullying themselves
Despite the fact that the majority of those who may find themselves to be the targets of bullying behavior may ultimately feel "harmed" by such targeting, a few studies have pointed up some potentially positive outcomes from bullying behavior. These studies have found that with some individuals, as a result of their having been targeted with bullying behavior, this certain minority of former bullying "targets" have actually experienced being "enabled" through their experiences with bullying to develop various coping strategies which included "standing up for themselves" in ways which acted to "re-balance" former imbalances of power. Such former bullying targets have reported such things as "becoming a better person" as a result of their former bullying ordeals. The teaching of such anti-bullying coping skills to "would-be-targets" and to others has been found to be an effective long term means of reducing bullying incidence rates and a valuable skill-set for individuals. 

But no matter what i still think bullying is bad and that nobody should experience something as serious as bullying. Now a days kids dont understand and realise how bad bullying is once its already to late. Thats why its important to warn kids about the precautions and consequences of bullying to try and stop it completly. 

Preventions

There's many things you can do to prevent bullying like:


* Limit you'r friend choices so basically chose well you'r friends
* Participating less in socal media ( Twitter, instagram ect..)
* Mind you'r own buisness and sont get involved in other's people problems
* Dont do to others if you dont want them done to you

 Most bullied

Bullying is wrong and must not be tolerated. The sad reality, though, is that bullying persists in our schools today, especially for America's 6.75 million students with disabilities in our public schools.  Bullying raises civil rights concerns under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which are two federal laws that prohibit disability discrimination. 

Most kid's that get bullied now in days have disabilitys and in my opinion thats just wrong because they cant controle it and its not their fault. Also most of the kids with disablilitys get picked on because there verry easy targets because they cant defend themselfs and stick up for themselfs.

It has been noted that disabled people are disproportionately affected by bullying and abuse, and such activity has been cited as a hate crime. The bullying is not limited to those who are visibly disabled such as wheelchair-users or physically deformed such as those with a cleft lip but also those with learning disabilities such asautism and developmental coordination disorder. In the latter case, this is linked to a poor ability in physical education, and this behaviour can be encouraged by the unthinking physical education teacher. Abuse of the disabled is not limited to schools. There are many known cases in which the disabled have been abused by staff of a "care institution", such as the case revealed in a BBC Panorama programme on a Castlebeck care home (Winterbourne View) near Bristolwhich led to its closure and the suspension and sacking of some of the staff.

You may think that bullying is only one thing. I bet half of you guys didint know that theres many types of bullying such as:
* Cyberbullying is any bullying done through the use of technology.
* Disability bullying: It has been noted that disabled people are disproportionately affected by bullying and abuse.
* Gay bullying 
* legal bullying 
* parental bullying 
So as you can see  theres many formes of bullying. And most of the time people dont realise there bullying other.
Bullying causes a number of social, physical and mental health problems.:
- children who are bullied suffer more headaches, anxiety and depression 
- children who bully , and children who are bullied are more highly to commite suicide 
- children who bully are more likely to do drugs and to become an acoholic 

So in my oppinion i think that these types are bullying are really harsh on some kids maybe on everyone. For some people bullying dosent bother them but you never know what could be runnimg threw their mind. And if you bully someone to the point to where they want to kill themselves and they actually do that action you would have to live with the fact that you techinacly killed someone and to be honest no one would want to live with that though in their head for the rest of their life.
