6. Why Should I Quit if I'm Bothering a Classmate
It's fundamental to remind students the reasons why bullying is not “fun”, making them realize that they should take it seriously, as it may be a cause of depression, suicide etc.
Annoying a classmate cannot increase self-esteem, it does not even create it within the teens' group.
If a student bothers someone, or he blames him, he should understand what are the reasons that push him do so. Probably he needs help for problems that he does not want or cannot overcome.
If he does not give up these attitudes of oppression on weaker mates, the group itself, in the long term, will judge him by his behavior and try to isolate him.
The bully can risk a charge, an exemplary punishment, suspension / expulsion from school and this will mark his high school career and maybe even his future life.
