No matter how hard we try, there will always be bullying in this world. Why? Well there are multiple factors to how to counter act the bullying going on within the school area. The first factor can be the environment the bully lives in. the bully can be hanging around with the wrong group of kids influencing him to be mean or want to hurt someone else’s feelings physically or mentally. Another reason could be a lack of responsibility by the school officials in school. The school itself may not have groups or clubs where these bullied students can attend. Teachers might not care due to stress in their lives, cut in payments, or the teachers just don’t care at all. The final problem can be the parents not caring enough to help their own kids. For example, the school shooting at Sparks Middle School like I mentioned earlier had everything to do with the

parents not trying to help. This student was harassed by multiple bullies. At a young age of just twelve, where did this student get the gun he used to kill these students and teacher? (Yan, Schoichet). It is the parent’s responsibility because it was their gun the student killed with. The parents also obviously did not seek help for their kid.  So in all, these counter arguments are why bullying is not put to an end.
