       We are all aware that bullying occurs in school. Some children are bullied, and some are the ‘actual’ bullies. Bullying in the first place stems from some kind of internal problem. Sometimes the person bullying is just jealous of the other person, and wants what they have. At other times the person has internal conflicts due to problems at home, whatever those problems may be. Still yet, bullying can be done to gain approval of peers, and to try to look good in front of friends by seeing how clever one can be with wordplay and cracking jokes. So, there are a variety of reasons bullying occurs. All this being said, there simply is never a time that we should find ourselves bullying others. This discussion just isn’t for kids, because, unfortunately, as I myself have witnessed more than once, adults can bully as well. Personally, I have witnessed Christians say very derogatory things toward other Christians, and this in public settings, so much so that I wonder how in the world the person could have justified what they just said.
