Bullying has become a major concern in today's society. Bullying takes place in offices, schools, at homes, even in the grocery stores. This bullying eventually can lead to suicides, attempted suicides, school shootings or other things of the like, putting lives in danger.
Why hasn't our society stopped bullying? Communities, neighborhoods, schools, businesses, etc., need to start working together to spread awareness about bullying and eventually work toward stopping bullying completely. No person, child or adult, should have to take their own life or put other lives in danger because someone decided to relentlessly bully them.
