Bullying


Bullying is bad behaviour whichever way you look at, whether it is in the workplace, at school or anywhere really. I was never personally bullied at school but I know people who were and even now they are adults, they are still trying to prove that they are better than the bullies made them out to be. It's really not fair. I remember starting my first job when i was 16 (sounding old now!) and I would view the behaviour of my manager as bullying. She would make me feel stupid when I made a mistake and would deliberately file things in the wrong place and make out it was my fault, just to prove the point that she was the manager and I was the employee. I didn't realise at the time though but looking back now she was really horrible to me and I don't think that type of behaviour would be acceptable now.

There are worse cases of bullying though and it can make someones life a living hell. This is really the lowest of the low and is definately bad behaviour.


I thought this was a good move for Youtube because of its popularity:

I completely agree with you that bullying is bad behaviour. Its horrifying to hear about young teenagers who commit suicide, because the bullying has got too much to bear. It's disgusting that you can cause someone so much pain, for a few kicks and laughs. I'm lucky to not have gone through that, but I know that there are many who do, so something really needs to be done to help them. I intend to become a teacher, and I know that if I come across bullying, then I will take serious action against it as a lesson to others. I don't think that teachers do enough to stop it as they don't seem to want the hassle of dealing with it. Most of them are scared of the pupils!! I think if such a small action can save the life of another, then shame on us for not wanting the 'hassle'.
