Have you ever been bullied or witnessed someone being bullied? Chances are you will answer yes to either one of those questions or both. Bullying has become more of an issue year after year. It is extremely important for everyone to become aware of the issue of bullying, especially those working around children. If members of society are not aware of the issue of bullying, they may become less likely to spot an issue when one arises. If bullying is not spotted, how can we stop it from happening? As members of society, we need to work together to prevent bullying at all costs and therefore, promote bullying awareness.  If we are able to recognize early signs of bullying and stop it from getting worse, we will become closer to our goal of preventing it completely. On the other hand, if we are not able to recognize early signs of bullying and instances worsen, we will become farther away from our goal. If this becomes the case, more children will become victims of bullying. Becoming a victim of bullying may increase a child’s level of depression, suicide attempts, anxiety, and many more issues. Is this what we want to happen? No, we do not want this to happen and therefore, we need to step up and make a change. We need to prevent bullying at all costs and make sure children are comfortable and safe in their surroundings at all times.
