Bullying (欺凌) is doing things to hurt other people. It is a serious problem at school.
Miah-now a 22-yearold girl, still remembers how she was bullied in junior high school. "They kicked me, put sticks in my hair and took money from me. Even worse, I was made to eat rubbish. I will never forget those moments. "
Miah is not the only case. I saw another bullying situation when I was a student. Some students bullied a handicapped (智力低下的) girl every day —hitting, pushing, and kicking her. They just enjoyed doing it. The girl didn't realize that people were hurting her. She couldn't even tell the teacher. The situation lasted for a long time.
Bullying at school is getting worse, so, many people are trying to start
anti-bullying(反欺凌) programs. Students in many schools have already taken actions. They have created anti-bullying clubs. Many students have joined the clubs. They work with teachers to show students how to stop bullying. Some other programs have proved to be successful , too.
In Wales, two girls came up with an idea to stop bullying on the school bus. They created a bus pass (乘车证) and made four rules for students: no bullying, no swearing(骂脏话), no smoking and no shouting. Whenever a student broke a rule, he would get a mark on his pass. When a student had four marks, he wouldn't be allowed to take the bus anymore. The bus pass idea worked. It stopped bullying on the bus.
In Michigan, some students tried to stop bullying with friendship. They made DVDs. They gave the DVDs to students in their school to teach them how to be good friends. This idea worked, too. After that, there was less bullying at their school.
School programs like these can help bullies learn to behave properly and
they can also help prevent school bullying. I think it will come to a stop if everyone does something
