How do teens escape or cope with being a victim of bullying?

So, we all know that no one likes being bullied and at some point it begins to take a toll on the person being affected. Bullying can lead to other problems such as; suicide, drinking, drugs depression, and even self-harm. According to the http://www.dosomething.org/tipsandtools/11-facts-about-school-bullying website, a victim of bullying is twice as likely to take his/her own life compared to someone who is not a bully. Another fact that caught my attention is that one out of 10 students drop out of school because they are being bullied. The reason I felt strongly about this topic is because it hurts me emotionally when I hear on the news that another child has committed suicide because of bullying. I would also like to help kids who are being bullied as well as the people who are bullying them because most of time the person bullying the victim are doing it because they have emotional baggage or problems at home and don’t know how to deal with it in some cases. I would like to end bullying at the source, also so that I can help save the lives of the victims of bullying because I feel that no one, especially a child should have to end their life to escape their problems because they have their whole life ahead of them. I also believe that the victims of bullies should seek help as well and the bullies so that we can prevent things like this from occurring.
