Should bullying be a Crime???

Should bullying be a crime? Bullying happens alot around the world, especially in school. There are alot of type of bullyings and they can lead to leaving the school, not going to school, or even commiting suicide. Bullying can hurt people physically, mentally and emotionally.

Bullying is when someone hurts another person physically, emotionally and mentally. Some kids think that it's not really a big deal but that's because they are the people that don't know what happens to the victim. The victim may feel lonely after being bullied, sad, angry and weak. If bullying is a major thing in a victim's life, he or she may even commit suicide and that is very sad. Bullying in general is very sad.

These days, alot of people are dicussing and arguing about if bullying should be a crime. They say that even bullying is very violent and dangerous and it causes alot of deaths not just because the bullies physically kills the victims, but because the victims would kill themselves. Do you guys think that bullying should be a crime?

In my opinion, yes, I think that very dangerous bullying, such as beating up someone, should be a crime. It is very severe to be beaten up. The victim may even die if the bully doesn't stop. Also, making very rude comments that really shoots a hole in the victim's heart, such as comments about their family life, their "after-school" life or any other issues.Those can cause victims to maybe beat themselves up or even kill themselves. Bullying shouldn't happen. Bullies should try to put themselves to the victim's position and feel how the victim feels.

Although I think that bullying should be a crime, I don't think that little bullying, such as little kids teasing eachother or being mean to eachother, or highschool kids teasing eachother, should not be a crime. It may harm the victim's feelings but the victim should try to control their own feelings, not the police. These type of bullyings dont try to harm the victim physically.

In conclusion, some types of bullying should be a crime, such as beating up the victim, or saying something that would make the victim beat up or kill him or herself. I think that bullying should really stop because when you think about all the stuff that happens to the victim after getting bullied, it is very sad.
