Story Behind my Topic

I'm  a very quiet girl,therefore I'm especially observant of my environment. Every since kindergarten until now I witnessed some form of bullying whether it's physically or verbally. Also, I found out that kids that are less expressive tend to be bullied more than kids who are expressive. I know this because when I was younger I've had my fellow classmates attempt to bully me. Also, I've witness other kids being bullied for the same reasons. Just because your quiet and less expressive it doesn't mean that your weak. It just means that  you've been raised with certain values to be "Seen and Not Heard".

One of my articles also states that children with disability problems or speech problems are the ones that are likely to  be vulnerable to bullying.

The age group that bullying effects are children that are in high school. Bullying effects children between the ages of 15-20. This can be prevented by raising awareness to parents students, and teachers to communicate about bullying situations before things get serious.
