Almost 85% of shootings have happened because of wanting to get back at someone over bullying. Now that the internet has gotten really big cyber bullying has started to happen online like on “Facebook, Twitter" and other online networks. Sixty Six Percent of teenagers have seen bullying online and just ignored it. One million teens have been harassed on Facebook this year. Because of that lots of people have killed themselves. To change this we need to make a community – wide prevention strategy. One other way is to show kids the dangers of bullying so they can know what could happen to the victim that is being bullied. Also if in the school the teachers see a student getting bullied they can report it to the principal and that person could get the bully and the victim have a therapy session. Also have disciplinary actions as community service. Other ways to help prevent bullying is to teach the teacher’s of the signs of bulling. This is so if they see it they can tell what is happening instead of assuming what is happening. Also one other thing you can do is monitor where kids are less supervised. This is because a bully would look for a place where there is no teachers to watch so they can get there chance to bully there victim. Also the child’s parent could teach there child to know how to protect themselves from a bully, such as “Karate, Martial Arts”.
