REF. & By: Webster/Doyle
Bullies are people with problems:
Bullies come in all sizes, shapes, ages and nationalities. They can be
rich or poor, educated or ignorant, male or female. Every bully is
different but what they have in common is:
1. They verbally or physically pick on others.
2. They are hurt, angry, afraid and frustrated.
Because of these feelings and their inability to deal with them, some
bullies have done a lot of harm.
Being bullied can have very serious consequences. Some victims of
bullies felt so bad that they have taken their own lives, as happened in
the southern United States when a 7th grade student, tired of four years
of being called "chubby" and " a walking dictionary", brought a gun to
school and fatally shot another student before killing himself. His
classmates said "He was just someone to pick on".
If you have ever been bullied, you know that it doesn't feel good. It is
frightening and can be harmful both physically and mentally. I have
walked both sides none them feel good.
First thing you must feel good of yourself. Then try to understand why
bullies do what they do, this is very hard.

There are many different kinds of bullies but what they
have in common is:
1. They are concerned mainly with their own pleasure
rather than thinking about anyone else.
2. They want attention, recognition, power, position and
fame and they are willing to use other people in order to
get what they want.
3.They want revenge for hurt feelings they have.
4. They do not have the ability to look at the whole picture
and, therefore, are not responsible people.
We live in a society in which many people spend their
lives looking out only for "Number One". They are
self-centered, aggressive and so focused on "success"
that they do not consider anything or anyone else around
them. These people create conflict in their own minds and
in the world.
I know it's difficult sometimes not to be a bully when there
are bullies in your home, school and neighborhood. To
make matters worse, many of them bully you around while
telling you not to be a bully! But you don't have to be a
bully if you decide you don't want to be like them.

REMEMBER:
In order to learn about ourselves, we must be willing to be honest
about our behavior. Being honest, we see ourselves as we are.
This means that we do not judge ourselves or others as being "
bad" or "good". Feeling bad only creates hatred, guilt and fear.
Comparing oneself or another to what is considered good only
being conflict - between who we actually are and who we think
we should be. If we look honestly at ourselves without judgment,
then there will be understanding, learning.
