Hello vp, today we are talking about the bullying the bully mentality that is very common both in the real world and on the internet. What this means is that we justify bullying if the victim is a bully too. Person A bullies Person B. Person C bullies person A etc.
This will continue an endless cycle of bullying. Just like two wrongs don't make one right, bullying is never justified.
How do you deal with bullying then?
First thing is contacting an adult like your parents, a teacher etc. Now this might not do a lot but it's a start. If its online, you can always block that person and don't respond to them! The reason people bully or troll online is for attention. Once that person stops getting the attention they want, they stop the bullying because they dont get anything out of it since everybody is ignoring them. Second step is reporting their account as most sites don't allow bullying.
Why do people bully others?
There can be many reasons for this. It's been studies that that shown that most people pick on others if they are displeased with their own life. For example, if you are happy and confident, would you feel good about making fun of others and bringing them down? Probably not. However, if you do feel bad you will be more likely to feel better about brining others down in attempt to "bring yourself up".
Why is it wrong to bully bullies?
The reason why is wrong to bully others overall is because you never know what one person might experience on the inside. They might look confident but might cry themselves to sleep every night. Even if you think of it as them getting consequenses for what they did, I strongly believe that adding MORE hate into the world won't make the world less hateful.
