Anti-bullying campaign. (the real thing)

   I had noticed that since we are educated in a Christian school, bullying is often taken for granted. Most of us had been raised in a community where almost everyone fears the Lord and maintain high moral standards. We would hear lessons about treating others nice and obeying God's Word over and over again that they become so cliche and lose their real message. This essay is my message to the people who are neither the victims and the bullies. The following are a several things that we could do to help out the people around us:

   1. Keep God's Word in your heart and not just in your mind. If you fail to do so, you tend to be stubborn and ignorant. As i have mentioned earlier, some lessons in life lose their real message since you've heard it so much times. It is probably because these lessons are just kept in your heart but not in your mind. Yes, you may know it but you might not understand it. Issues like bullying must be taken seriously. It is probably the biggest problem that the youth faces today. 77% of all students says that they have been bullied and 14% of which experienced severe consequences. Before we can help out effectively to others, the gravity of this issue must first be understood.

   2. Be sensitive to the feelings of others. Sometimes even the tiniest of all insults can hurt a person. Think about it. What if this certain person has already been experiencing a lot of problems at home? What if his mind is already so weak? Saying or doing something offensive, even though you may think that it won't matter, might take a big toll on him. Imagine that you are carrying a load of rocks and then suddenly someone throws a pebble to your head. So if you see that someone is having a bad day, cheer them up rather than doing the exact opposite.

   3. Go to adults for help rather than handling things by yourself. Adults have more experience and they know more things in life than we do. Never be afraid to approach them. Report a bully and also let them talk to the people who had been bullied. Never ever be a bystander, just watching and waiting things to happen. We must all act now and get involved.

   Well, i hope that you may remember these things and simply just spread the love to everyone in this world! Remember also that you should stay positive and believe in God for change and for a better life for everyone.
