Say 'no' To Bullying

(Robert Frost said, 'Never be bullied into silence.Never allow yourself to be made a victim') Bullying is a tactics of ruffians To silence those who try to raise Their voices against injustice. Some bully others as they get Sadistic pleasure out of it. They want to show you as coward and meek They try to kill your individuality They block your way to progress But remember that a bully's behaviour stems out of his own insecurity. If a bully is successful in silencing you He may do it to others and feel powerful And as such becomes a threat to society. In schools, some physically stronger students Try to make fun of weak students In harsh words, or even beating and kicking This causes lifelong trauma for victims. Some students choose to leave For new schools and some continue to suffer. Ragging is one form of bullying Which we find in many Engineering and technical colleges Where senior students torment the new entrants This has serious repercussions as we have seen Cases of suicides or some leaving the college By putting their career in ruins. To stop bullying is not an individual responsibility As parents, teachers and authorities Should come together to find signs of bullying Or the victims of bullying and give them necessary counselling. With adequate deterrents against bullying we can wipe out this scourge from society.
