Reports of bullying in schools have risen. The victims often ended up with depression and
mental illness. The issue of bullying can not be ken lightly.
Bullying has effects on both victims and perpetrators. The victims will often feel lonely, sad and
empty. It can also be traumatic. Some children who experience bullying develop severe anxiety
and depression. They also have eating and sleeping difficulties which cause them to have health
problems. Furthermore, the bullying affects their shool life; some even drop out from school.
As for the perpetrators, they will develop violent behaviour toward people and have a tendency to
be abusive. They will have a hard time in adjusting to life with other people as they cannot
interact well with them. Sadly, there is a chance that bullying perpetrators wiill lkely emerge as
criminals.
The effects of bullying are dreadful, and I believe that parents do not want let bullyiing happen to
their children. We need to come with solution to solve the issue of school bullying.

Nowdays people use the internet to communicate with others. Many of them share their feelings,
ideas, opinions, and problems on social media. In fact, sharing problems on social media embarrases
themselves and rally annoys others.
Those who share their problems on social networks really irritate other people. Social networks are
not the place for sharing personal problems. Reading someone’s personal problems on the internet is
really a nuisance.
Besides, one who shares problems on social media only shames himself. Other people who read about
them will think that he has a miserable life. I will be bad if those who read his status are his boss or
coworkers.
In my opinion, netizens should not share their problems on social networks. It is better for them to
write theirfeelings in a diary or have a private talk with friends. Personal problems shared on the social
media only show their negative side.
