If I could end a problem...

If I could end a problem, I feel like it would have to be bullying. Bullying is a major struggle most kids go through in school. Bullying has gotten so bad, it is estimated that 160,000 students miss school daily because of fear of getting bullied. Bullying can cause lasting mental problems, and can even push kids to wanting to commit suicide. Although bullying will never truly end, there are multiple things we could do to prevent it. Don't be a bystander. You'll be just as bad as the bully if you just stay and watch; you'll only encourage him/her. It would be best to inform an adult about the situation so that they may handle it. If you or someone you know gets bullied frequently, tell somebody whether that means your parents, sister, brother, etc. Even if you don't believe it right now, they will help.
