The article basically talks about bullying in United States of America. Half of the high school students admit to bullying someone in the past year and nearly half was also being bullied.

The act of being bullied is defined by being physically abused, teased or taunted in a way that seriously upsets them. This article also shows how bullying is turning into a common situation and I also believe that with the improvement of technology and creation of new media such as twitter and facebook, the bullying is made easier as words can be spread even faster.

It's hard to stop bullying from occurring because most victims of bully are afraid of speaking out and standing up against the bully and the bully finds satisfaction through the fear of people. Schools should take an active part in campaigning for anti-violence and stop bullying acts. Students should be more aware of the bullying and try to speak out against the bully or inform an adult about the incident.
