Everyone knows that bullying is a continuous problem. Most people will face it, especially in their earlier years of life. Most people think that bullying should be prevented. If the government could stay involved, then it would be on the way to decreasing this issue. But not everyone thinks as bullying as such a big deal. They think this is something that everyone goes through and to focus so much on it would be a waste of time. People are going to be mean, and that is life. A little bullying will teach kids that life is not perfect and it is good for them to learn it now than be sheltered. They think that putting laws on bullying is extreme and unnecessary. In one of my sources, a senator said to press criminal charges on a bully does nothing because harm has already been done. Does that mean a rapist and a murder are off the hook? Because even though harm has already been done to someone in those cases, they still are convicted. It seems that people do not realize how bad bullying has gotten and they see this situation as petty. In reality, when kids are killing themselves because of it, something has to be done. The counter argument of my topic seems a little cruel to me. People should know what a toll bullying can put on people. Especially when you are young and all you want is acceptance. Not fitting in can seem like life or death. When something that serious is at stake, it should not be taken lightly. Schools should make it their responsibility to make it a safe environment.
