Bullying is an natural occurrence that affects both the victims and the bully and influences how they act throughout their lives. The bully until he is confronted will continue to bully people and pick on them because they do not know what they are doing is wrong. The bully will continue their ways because they think its okay and they are also insecure with themselves. This insecurity causes them to hurt other people to make them better about themselves and this way of self esteem is sad. Everyone has their own perception of themselves and they should like themselves and instead of bringing others down who are probably just like the bullying feeling insecure they should give a compliment. Saying something nice to someone goes a lot farther than bringing them down like if you give someone a compliment about them in the morning it makes you feel better for giving someone else a bit of confidence and the person who receives the compliment feels better about themselves and they enjoy that recognition which will make them feel great all day. If changed the way people think about themselves that bullying would be decreased by a lot in the real world we are influenced by the magazines and media on what is pretty. I read a article in a magazine a while back that talk about how mean we are to ourselves about what we look like and they found that women tell themselves about a dozen awful things about their bodies everyday and this leads to low self esteem and it is not healthy. The world has their own version of beautiful and it is a way too skinny super tall model that is beautiful but everyone is and the new Dove campaign that is fighting this version of perfect is doing amazing work and will change lives. Everyone deserves to feel pretty inside and out and by telling yourself these awful things that do not matter. In a perfect world bullying would not be a problem but it is and it really should not matter what is on the outside.
