Bullying

Good morning / afternoon,im going to be talking to you about bullying as it is a major issue in our society today.Bullying can lead to many negatives.Are you a bully? victim? witness? Have you ever been called "ugly"? or "fat"Has someone made you feel insecure about yourself.Everyone in this room has probably been bullied at least once in their life.
It’s not the best feeling is it? it makes you feel humiliated and very uncomfortable. It has the power to destroy lives, mentally and physically.
Studies have showed that 1 out of 6 students are harassed or bullied at least once a week in Australian schools.

Firstly,self esteem,this mean reflecting on emotional feel of your own worth. This affects self confidence and health.Low self esteem means telling yourself how much you hate your apperance,your life and who you are.Are you unhappy with the way you look? thinking life is hard? because of what people have said to you?Well i want to put a change in the world,im going to tell you that you are strong,and you have the ability to stop people from doing this.

Im now going to tell you a short story,about a very inspiring man,he has no arms and no legs because of this he got harrased and bullied throughout his school life and went home upset,depressed and suicidal almost everyday.His mum was telling him that he wasn't alone,and showed him a news article,which had information and a picture of another person who also is suffering a disbility,

This is what picked him up and motivated him to start a program,all around the world. The program was to tell people his story as he is a brave person,who spreads the word of his thought. He is currently learning how to live an everyday life as a normal human being.As you can see he had a very difficult childhood and a low-self esteem,which took him a long time to recover and be healthy and happy.

This brings me to my second point,cyber bullying.This is the deliberate use of communtication and technology for the wrong reason. cyber bullying can include: abusive texts and emails hurtful messagesexcluding others online and nasty online gossip people repeatedly do this!

I dont know why but i personally think its for popularity,to make yourself feel better or to put them down,but i dont see why it makes you popular , feel better and why you would want to make others upset.It is currently reported that up to 70% of young people experience cyber bullying. We should work together,to make the society a happier place and put an end to this.

This leads me to my last,but most upsetting point of all,depression. People suffer depression from many reasons but it mainly occurs from bullying! It is a mental and mood disorder,that causes a constant feeling of sadness,loneliness and unexplainable hatred they have for themselves

Depression interferes with everyday functions because they feel as if they dont belong or they are not strong enough to survive. Depressed people are afraid of living,this is where suicidal comes in.You will start noticing a change in their apperance such as weight loss or weight gain,cuts on their body and more.

Its fair to say that it is extremely dissapointing that there is so much bullying that it can get to the stage of people wanting to put an end to their life. 　To conclude,many problems can occur which can affect many people . Thank you so much for listening,if you are feeling down,speak up or even feel free to talk to me,i want to put a change in the world.
