I honestly don't see much bullying going on.In my school district, the administration makes a big deal of it. Tons of of the funding from our local government funds our anti-bullying programs.
But yet, I just don't see it going on.
Either I live in a cave, or the program is working.
I think it's the first one.
I don't think it's so much
bullying, it's just all the "social levels" of my high school. Like, most of the cheerleaders and the other "popular" crowd just won't talk to you. It's more of a shunning kind of thing. It doesn't really bother me, or most people for that matter. They "popular" people don't bother you, you don't bother them. That's the end of it, for the most part.
And nobody really puts you down to your face that I've seen. And if someone does put you down, it normally isn't persistant- because if the other person doesn't like you, they won't bother to be seen with you!
As for physical, sure there are fights at my school, but it's not a bullying type thing. It's just a testosterone fueled battle.
So I don't think there's an issue of bullying for the most part at my high school... it's just little things.
However, in any school district or social situation, you shouldn't be put down because of your sexual orientation, race, etc. It's just wrong. You have to remember that those putting you down are the most insecure with themselves, and that's a personal issue they're going to have to confront sooner or later.
