Opening:
Bullying is a repeated aggressive act committed by an individual or a group to harm or demean others. This often occurs in schools, around us, or online. Some characteristics of bullying involve power imbalance, the intent to harm, and can take the form of physical, verbal, relational, or online actions. The impacts can be serious, including stress and mental health issues for the victims. It is crucial to create an environment that supports and encourages bullying prevention while providing support to the victims.

Opinion:
According to the results of the interviews we conducted, bullying is deemed useless. Furthermore, bullying has severe consequences such as depression, loss of self-confidence, and even suicidal thoughts for the victims. It is important to note that if we witness someone being bullied, immediate action is necessary. Assistance can be in the form of creating a video to report the incident or directly intervening to stop the bullying. Currently, a fitting punishment for bullying perpetrators is social consequences, such as public announcements. Additionally, imprisonment is considered an appropriate measure to create a deterrent effect and reduce inappropriate behaviors like bullying.

Closing:
From the interview results and opinions presented, it can be concluded that bullying is a harmful behavior with serious consequences, especially for the mental health of the victims. It is crucial for all of us to take an active stance in preventing and stopping bullying while offering support to the victims. Social consequences and imprisonment are seen as alternatives to curb the incidence rate and ensure that perpetrators understand the negative impacts of their actions. Thus, together we can create a safe and supportive environment for everyone.Â
