bullying and its effects on both the victims and the bully

Bullying has been going on since the beginning of time when a dinosaur would rule the land. It goes on with little things, like bugs, and bigger things, like people. Bullying is human nature for some, and to be bullied has a bunch of different possible outcomes.
There are many different effects on bullying. We will discuss about the bully's feelings first. When a bully bullies someone, they may have a bunch of different motives. One motive would be jealousy. When someone is jelly of someone, they may pick on them to take our their jealousy. Another reason that someone may bully someone is because they are self conscious of themselves. They may try and take out their anger on someone else.
The bullies can have a big effect on their victims. When someone points out a flaw to them, they may take it very hard. If they have a bad home life, they may take it even harder. Some victims act like the bully's comment did not affect them, but it still may have hurt them bad. I know that when someone makes fun of me, I act like it's no big deal and I just shrug it off, but in reality, it could have hurt me pretty bad. That is how it is for a lot of people. Cyber bullies are even worse because they do not have to say anything face to face. They can just send anonymous hate mail to a person. That could hurt the victim even worse. With all the social networking sites these days, it is easier and easier to bully someone without even being known for the bullying. It takes guts to bully someone in person, but being behind a computer screen, it is easier and easier to send hate.
People can be very cruel. Bullying is a problem in school a lot of times. The problem of bullying will never disappear, but it could get a little better. Hopefully people will realize what they are doing to others and try to be nicer to people. A lot of bullies do not even realize how bad that they are hurting their victim.
