     Bullying helps no one, and no one benefits from it. Bullying is one of the most harmful things, sometimes without even physically harming or hurting them. Bullying can be any form of teasing, name calling, harassing, or hurting. Bullies can almost always be described as someone who hurts other people's feelings because they want to make themselves feel better about their own life troubles.  The person being bullied has much more pain from the whole thing. The person being bullied most likely did nothing wrong, but just so happened to be the victim of the bully's fury and takes it out on them. The bully may or may not feel guilty after they bully someone. Usually they do not apologize unless they are forced to by a teacher or parent . The victim will get all sorts of negative feelings from the bullying. They will feel self conscious,depressed, and very hurt or offended. Bullying is the biggest cause of suicides in teenager and kids, which is just sickening.  The fact that someone can make someone else feel so bad about themselves that they do not even want to live, and the best option to them is to end their life is extremely sad and just ridiculous. Bullies are people who do not manage their own insecurities well. Everyone has insecurities, but that does not mean you can take it out on an innocent person. You have no idea how much that can affect the person, and how they may deal with it.
