Tonight I am writing on something that just had a law passed to prevent it online

A bully is defined below:

Main Entry: 1bul•ly
Function: noun
Pronunciation: 'bu-le, 'b&-
Inflected Form(s): plural bullies
Etymology: probably modification of Dutch boel lover, from Middle High German buole
1 archaic a : SWEETHEART b : a fine chap
2 a : a blustering browbeating person ; especially : one habitually cruel to others who are weaker b : PIMP
3 : a hired ruffian

As one can see by reading the above definition a person who bullies is habitually cruel to others who are weaker.
This is a horrible behavior and usually can be captured while examining the adolescent in groups trying hard to be noticed and or accepted by peers, and feels that conduct whether bad or good if it gets a reaction is hysterical. Most of the ‘bullies’ have no remorse for the victim.
Belittling people of any age is an impolite and tragic act.
While bullying is associated with children there is an undercurrent in the adult world too.
And since an adult is supposed to be that much tougher in life or at least by what most consider by the time they have reached the age that most think of an adult cowering and shame and even suicide has been known to be caused by this horrendous bad behavior portrayed by often so-called other adults.
The frequency and shocking locations of this event would surprise the savviest person.
Surprisingly enough ones that were thought to be decent people and people who have been trained to uphold the law; have been doing bullying for years, even to captured innocent until proven guilty persons, and even people who are their business clients, but also to co-workers and their families too; and since we have found out that this bullying behavior in certain venues is accepted and even encouraged. They must stop!

Let’s put it this way in some industries they are so backwards they still think the little woman should be seen but not heard.

Recently a law was enacted to help prevent cyber bullying. Under the new law an anti-cyber-bullying law, any school that does not proactively amend its anti-bullying policies to reflect the changes within 90 days of the bill’s enactment will automatically have its district policy deemed as addressing electronic, or cyber bullying in New Jersey.

In other parts of the country:
“A 21-year-old woman named Nicole Williams was charged for allegedly sending harassing text messages to a 16-year-old girl and allowing others to use her cell phone to leave vulgar voicemail messages for the victim threatening her with rape, among other things. Williams allegedly targeted the teen over a jealous dispute involving a boy, according to the Post-Dispatch.
• Two St. Louis men were charged separately with sending harassing text messages to their ex-girlfriends.
• A man protesting the development of a proposed resort was charged with sending a threatening e-mail to city hall staff.
• A 28-year-old woman was accused of sending harassing text messages to her ex-husband's girlfriend.
• A 19-year-old man was charged with sending some 17 text messages to his mother's husband.
• A 17-year-old involved with a classmate in a dispute over a girl is accused of sending the classmate death threats via text messages.”

All the above examples have to do with texting or emails, but in-person bullying is not allowed either and most adults unless it’s out right harassment and monitored by keeping a diary it is so hard to prove when especially sides are often taken on behalf of a superior officer/boss. An analogy could be almost similar to a rape victim beginning to blame herself when she might like to dress provocatively on occasion and thinking that that was the cause of the violence, but still no one has the right to do that to anyone.
Bullying can be insidious to say the least and without someone in your corner on the inside it can very likely make it a he said she said, or she said she said or a he said he said as many of these instances sadly are. Good people leave jobs everyday for that very reason and begin to second guess their own abilities because by no uncertain means bullying is psychological rape, self worth can go right out the window by its viciousness.
I personally know of someone who thought he had someone to trust on the inside and documented all negative encounters with his bully and shared the instances with a confident who was his bully’s superior, but when push came to shove the so-called go between pulled a fast one and bolted leaving the victim without any hope of vindication or help what so ever, not fair, foul but no one ever did anything. And today that bully is still there continuing his nasty meanness; sad but true.
In closing everyone must step in when we see these injustices, and try and help.
We all know that mean kids can grow up to be mean adults and that is what has happened in so many areas of the world not only in business, but in government in all aspects of ones life so be aware and don’t just stand there do something!
And I will hope for your sake and my own that we are appreciated for what we do not criticize.
Good night to all and to all be proactive, right the wrongs!
