n school, especially for girls, bullying is a second nature. Whether it is by mental or physical abuse the results end up the same. For example, insulting someone is the same as beating someone to the death, however, of course the person is suffering till the day they pass. Sadly, I've been on both sides of the bully situation.
It was either because i felt insecure and lashed out on a classmate, or i was cornered and force to hear the scarring insults. Although the insults bullies say hurt and devour the remains of a person's confidence, i doubt the cycle will ever end due to the fact one will always think they are better then the other. Bullies bully because they are either conceited, or need an excuse to feel better about themselves.
As longs you have a conscious(Sp?) you will question your social position and if your position can be compromised you would do anything to raise your status. However, it is possible to regret your decision, but it doesn't change the past.

My respond to Meriam Quote is that bullying is not especially for girls, most of the boys get bully more than girl.A boy can get bullies for been smart, for not doing things kids his age are doing, for even not having sex. Most boys get beat up for his own homework that he stay up all night to do. Boys getting bullied is harder than girls.

Girls can get bullied too. When I first came in this country I got bullied a lot, because i was from Africa. A mostly get bullied by others female its hard to see a boy bullied a girl. A female bulling another female is not that bad as a male bulling another male. They are more valiance and heartless.

Meriam is right about the part that bulling will never end, because one think she is better than the other. No human will ant to say she/he is equal to another. The raceme will container and people will keep fighting for power.
