My Thoughts on Bullying

What could a school do to stop bullying?

Over the years, I have witnessed many events in which students have been bullied. Looking back i wish i would have done something to stop the kids that were bullying others. I wish i could have helped those being hurt by all the name calling.
Cyber bullying. During my eighth grade year it was really common for everyone to have myspace or facebook. There was this girl in my class that thought it was funny to be making fun of a girl in seventh grade. She put pictures with mean captions and the other girl would get really upset. The seventh grade girl started being rude back and they begun getting into arguments online where everyone could see. Eventually they ended up getting into a fight one day after school where the girl that went to my school pushed the seventh grader down and started beating her up. The girl had to go to the hospital because of a cut on the head and her mother called the police. Because of the other girl bullying a seventh grader for no reason and there being proof of everything, she got into massive trouble. Bullying leads to big problems that affect the person being picked on and the person who is causing all of the trouble.
Teachers at school she be more aware in the change in their students and should ask more frequently if anyone is experiencing bullying.
