Harrassment

Have I ever been harassed? Yes, I have. But then again, who hasn't? Right? And yea, at some point and time I have probably harassed someone. However, in schools, i really don't think it's as big a deal as they are trying to make it. I don't even remember the last time I was harassed and I certainly don't recall harassing someone. If so it was on complete accident and I was probably just joking around (I dot that a lot). Kids just don't seem to care to harass anyone anymore, and that's a good thing.
Should it be punished? Yea. When it's present it should be treated almost as physical violence. Words can hurt and actions are even worse. It should involve talking with the parents to figure out why the student acts this way at school and if he or she does so at home also.
Yes, in my life I have witnessed harassment. Did I do anything? Well, to be honest, it depends on the person. SHOULD I have done something, yes, I should've. And so should everyone else who sees it. Just imagine if you were in the victims shoes....
