Harassment

         Harassment is all over the world these days especially in schools. If there is evidence from someone that’s being harassed, it is considered as a crime. There are different kinds of harassment like name-calling, bullying and sexual harassment. Many people don’t realize that harassment hurts others around them.
         Many people and kids name-call each other and the most common words that are used among each other is gay and fag. These words are referred to a person as a bisexual. Victims of these types of name-callings may feel threatened or oppressed.
Bullying is a type of harassment and form of abuse. Teens, kids and even adults find a weak person to target and just bully them around. Types of bulling is just pushing their target around, hitting them and hurting them. It is said that bullying leads to several cases of suicides every year because the person being target, can just take so much and they are fed up with it.
          Sexual harassment is common in every part of the world. The most common one is when people make hurtful comments about another person’s sex. One example is when men or boys, make comments about women in general. There is sexual harassment at work, school and even home. There is no way to stop it but people can prevent it and avoid it. By avoiding it people can just ignore it and know that all this harassment is childish and they have better things to do than sit around and worry about this problem.

  1. I like the organization of your essay and your focus on the three types of bullying in school and the workplace. One topic that might emphasis the effects of bullying is the punishment people will have to endure if they are arrested or caught bullying. Are they expelled from school? Do they receive community service hours?
