There are countless stories all over the internet about bullying leading to youngsters taking their own lives. Bullying is more common than we care to acknowledge. It is prevalent in schools where pre-teens as well as teenagers are victims of this horrible act at the hands of their fellow students. These youngsters are bullied about the most trivial of things such as weight, their style of dressing or just the fact that they don't mingle with other students much. At their age these students find it difficult to confide in someone about what they are going through and instead choose the other way out, taking their own lives to escape their misery. This is a very serious matter and schools need to look into it and implement strict policies against bullying.. Schools also need to teach their students about the disastrous consequences of bullying and encourage troubled students to meet up with counselors who can help them out. It's just heart-breaking to read about such incidents and hopefully one day bullying will be completely eliminated and no student will have to end their life.
