Bullying is quite an old thing.

bully /ˈbʊlɪ/ to hurt, intimidate, or persecute (a weaker or smaller person), esp to make him do something. Many people say or think that "bullying" is a new concept, or word. But really it is a trending topic now a days, just because we now have the tools to account the actions of bullying with instant sharing, and technology that records and documents this subject. Another aspect of this popular topic that i want to address, is the fact that society has evolved in the last 50 or 100 years. What I mean by this, is that every day we become a less primitive civilization. Now there are "human rights": no slavery, no discrimination against sexuality, religion or race; no deprivation of free speech, etc. Certainly we have not accomplished these social qualities completely, but we are getting there. This is why I think the action of bullying is not "new", back then, this actions were not addressed or really never an issue, by reason of other priorities in their lives, their priorities: plagues, wars... survival. No one can say that in the past people respected each other more than now or were less violent. I would say people were bullied: hurt, intimidated or persecuted by others even more. This might sound kind of obvious, but I'm stating this, to conclude that there is HOPE. Hope for people, that have suffered, or been affected by this "modern disease", that it will stop. Never completely, but some day more people will feel safer. We are changing, we are making laws, and making awerness of this contingency. So soon enough this will stick to our minds, human behavior and in our subconsciousness, that Bullying is a forbidden act, just like it is incest, or cannibalism. EVOLVE, dont be a BULLY. Unless you consider yourself a CAVEMAN.
