Bullying

Bullying is a form of abuse. It comprises repeated acts over time that involves a real or perceived imbalance of power with the more powerful individual or group abusing those who are less powerful. The power imbalance may be social power and/or physical power. ...
Being bullied can effect someone because they will start to feel insecure and they feel like they have no power. They can no longer defend theirself and it can damage their life.
Children who bully are more likely to engage in other criminal and anti-social behaviors, such as:

• Fighting
• Vandalism
• Truancy
• Dropping out of school
• Stealing
• Smoking
• Alcohol/and or drug abuse

Obama and Mitchelle did a conference on bullying and Mitchelle Obama wants to stop bullying. She said thay everyone should treat eachother with the respect that they deserve. I agree with that they are saying because they want the students to feel safe and not be threathend to come to school. There should be a penatl for kids who bully, they shoulod respect other people and their belonging.  Bullying is a serious thing because and it can tramatize victimes. the mai reason why Obama wants to speak out is becasue he was bullied when he was younger and he doenst want anyone going throught what he had to expenice. Parents alos play a major role in bullying, they need to teach their children how to interact with other kids. I hope that our president and his first lady can put a stop to these abusive act.
