Tsk, tsk, tsk....

Is name-calling that fun and why do people even want to do this when they know it is wrong? Do they even have a conscience? Why can't they control themselves? Oh well, name-calling has been a very direct form of bullying which is ever so common in school. How common is it based on a rate of one to ten? In my opinion, I would say around seven to eight and this thus cause me to feel especially pitiful for those who had suffered the torture and problems of name-calling. In addition, I had once been a victim myself. However, the weird thing, I admit that I had been the caller before when I was younger and less mature. But I had changed to be a better person and always tried to help other classmates who are suffering too. Coincidentally, a situation like this just happened today, in school, in my classroom.
It was coming to the end of the last two lessons. All of a sudden, my friend asked, "Why are you crying?" Just then, I realised my friend who was sitting in front of me saw another friend of mine, who was sitting beside me, sniffing and tearing up. I wondered what happened and since almost all the witnesses were arguing against the name-caller, who was not that easy to get along with, and that everyone is so busy, I asked the name-caller for the reason why my friend was weeping. He soon explained that it was something he called my friend which caused the problem.
Obviously, my friend is very insulted till he could not take it anymore and just cried. Soon after, a teacher came in to settle the problem by counselling the name-caller and the class. He said that he hope more mature students could be more observant and take note of these few problems and settle them, preventing anymore of the same incidents to happen.
Therefore, in conclusion, this had made me aware of the effects of bullying and name-calling. Some people might just take it lightly, but those who take it more seriously might be more affected. Plus, these type of incident can go on and on and on. Hence, everyone has a part to play in preventing these incidents from happening again. I have also learned to look out for others and volunteer to help others during difficult times by different ways, such as controlling one's behaviour. I am just glad my friend managed to get over it.
