Bullying In School

I feel like almost every child and/or teenager encounters bullying throughout growing up. Especially with how many social networks are out there now, there are more opportunities for children to bully others. Though some bullying happens at school, most of the bullying happens outside of school either over the internet or through cell phones. A good example of bullying at my high school is over Twitter, a student created an account called "Bash Birdville". Each day they would post a mean tweet about someone at Birdville. The school got it shut down, but it took a good month for the school to realize what was happening. Teachers need to be more aware of bullying that goes on during school and needs to be more strict on punishment when they catch it, because the person who created that twitter account did not even get in trouble. If the school really wanted to they could have found out who created that and punish them correctly. When I become a teacher, I am going to take bullying very seriously and take the necessary actions for when I catch a student bullying another.
