Bullying
Bullying is a real problem in schools today. Not only are kids crying themselves to sleep, but some even take it as far at to take their own life. The kids that cause this kind of pain should bee punished more than just a few days of ISS. They should be expelled.
Statistics show that 1in every 7 kids are bullied in a day. An average grade has anywhere for two to three hundred kids in it. Imagine how many kids are being bullied. Maybe you were that kid. The one that was shoved into lockers in the hallway, or your life was threated through a text message. If that wasn't you then just imagine what it would be like. Imagine being scared for you life everytime that you walk into a building that you are supposed to be safe in. Never knowing what was waiting for you just around the next corner.
Kids cant go to school and learn cirriculum when they are having to worry about if they are going to make it home unharmed. I surely couldnt anyway.
Bullies are a growing problem in every school system nationwide. The problem could easily be taken care of by expelling the sudents guilty. This doesn't mean that they will never have an education. There are excellent homeschooling programs where they wouldn't be a problem.
The victims of theses kids shouldn't ever have to feel like they should drop out of school or miss a few days for their safety.
We can stop this problem. The question is...Will we?
