Hi! My Name Is Neona and this, is my first post. I'm here to do a blog on bullying, how it affects people and how to stop it. I’m hoping to help you as much as I can and offer the best advice I can give.
Bullying is made out to be a small problem that very rarely happens in our society, whereas in truth it's a serious problem that very many people endure, especially in secondary schools. This blog isn't only to condone bullying, but I'm hoping to show you the extent of bullying from a perspective that you can relate to easier instead of boring you with unnecessary facts long lectures :)

First, Some Not So Boring Statistics (Hopefully)
Here are some Statistics on bullying from recent years (Collected From: http://www.nspcc.org.uk)
These aren't great statistics... They are really saddening :( They show that bullying is common, that it's everywhere and that in many cases it goes unsolved. '28% of children did not tell anyone...' this 28% may not seem like a lot but it still means that there are people that have kept their problems to themselves and have not spoken about it to anyone. they feel completely alone. BUT... They don't have to be. If people just looked out for each other friends or not, and tried to stop bullying the statistics would drop rapidly. (and no I'm NOT saying that you should jump right in and act like a superhero because the odds are you will be bullied too!) But by telling someone, A Parent, Guardian Bestfriend, Brother, Sister, Grandma, Granddad... (the list can go on and on and on but you get the message) Just let them know what's happening and you will find that "a problem shared is a problem halved" :)

What Does Bullying Do To People?
We all know that bullying affects people in many ways... But do you know the extent as to how much it actually affects people?
Bullying can easily zero your confidence to a point where you can't even be yourself anymore... You feel that whatever you do, you'll be judged, laughed at and ridiculed. You turn in on yourself, feeling fragile, keeping quiet and hardly interacting with others at all.
Depression
A common result of being bullied is depression. Depression is a serious condition where over a long period of time someone constantly feeling sadness, discouragement, despair, or hopelessness. Depression affects more than a person's mood. It drains the energy, motivation, and concentration a person needs for normal activities.

Causes Self Harm
Self harm is a serious topic. It shouldn't happen as often as it does, however so many victims of bullying turn to hurting themselves as a result of the actions of others... People seem to feel as if it is a way to escape the hurt of bullying, but in truth you just end up with wounds on top of the original pain.
Suicide
This by far is the worst consequence of bulling. Victims are tormented so bad to an extent where they feel the only way to escape is to take their own lives.
So you can see that bullying has a huge effect on the lives of others and can easily ruin so many things in a person's life whether present, or future.
I have been picked on before :), and whether you take my advice to heart or not I'd just like to say that taking your own life should never be an option. You need to know that there is a way to escape bullying, and you do not have to do it alone. It can, and will end.
