Introduction

Bullying has become an issue in so many schools and at so many ages. Learning how to stop bullying needs to be taught at a young age. Some think that if they weren't the bully they aren’t the bad guy, but that is wrong. If you are watching someone being bullied and don't do anything about it you are also at fault. By not standing up for a person being bullied, a bystander is in effect standing up for the bully. This encourages bullying! Many bullies have been or still are being bullied by someone.

Let's break the cycle by creating overall good citizens instead of bullies. It starts one person at a time. Make a good choice and standup for others.

Everyone has choices to make every day whether it be something small like what to wear or eat or something big such as creating a new product that could add or take jobs away from people. Our choices always affect ourselves but they also affect other people around us. Sometimes it might just be one other person and other times a choice can have a domino effect, where one choice affects another person which affects another person and so on. Being aware of our choices and thinking about the consequences be they good or bad, means you are making an informed choice. In the end, it is ultimately up to you.
