By now the Razzies will no longer include a child actor in their list of nominees, thank you for acting like adults.

Because child bullying is not cool, the same way Razzies should cease to exist, especially since all it takes is a $40 ‘donation’ to vote.

Let’s talk about child bullying.

Bullying among children is a serious problem that affects millions of young people each year. It can take many forms, including physical violence, verbal abuse, and social exclusion. Unfortunately, in some cases, bullying can lead to tragic consequences, including the death of the child being bullied.

Bullying is defined as repeated aggressive behavior that is intentional and involves an imbalance of power or strength. It can happen in person, online, or through text messages and phone calls. Children who are bullied may experience physical injuries, mental health problems, and difficulty in school. They may also feel isolated and alone and may struggle to make friends or feel safe in their community.

Bullying can have serious and long-lasting effects on a child’s mental and physical health. Children who are bullied are more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems. They may also have trouble sleeping, experience headaches and stomachaches, and have a lower quality of life. In severe cases, bullying can lead to suicide.

One of the most tragic consequences of bullying is the death of the child being bullied. In some cases, bullied children may take their own lives, unable to cope with the emotional and physical pain of bullying. In other cases, bullying may lead to homicide, with the bully killing the child they have been tormenting.

One of the most high-profile cases of a child dying as a result of bullying was the death of Phoebe Prince in 2010. Phoebe was a 15-year-old high school student in Massachusetts who was relentlessly bullied by her classmates. She was called names, threatened, and physically assaulted. In January 2010, Phoebe hanged herself in her home, unable to cope with the constant harassment and abuse. Six students were charged with crimes related to Phoebe’s death, and her story brought national attention to the issue of bullying and its devastating effects.

Final words

Nothing good comes out of bullying, the pain doesn’t go away it leaves scars that takes time to heal.

I try to be more mindful of what I write, I wish I can always come from love because what good does it do to hurt someone with words?

Thank you for reading.
