Explain about the serious news of Bullying at schools.
Bullying is a serious problem in korean schools. Bullies (harass) their victims in various way. They sometimes (inflict) physical harm or simply make victims feel (alienated). Some often ask for money from their victims and make them engage (in) embarassing acts. Students who are bullied go through (enomous amounts of) psychological pain in (humiliation). In many cases, it is impossible for them to maintain a nomal school life. Some go as far as to take their own lives due to stress they get from bullies. I think there needs to be stronger efforts made by schools, parents, gorvenments to deal with dullying. (Instead) of simply punishing the bullies, it would be (wise) to put in place measure to prevent bullying in the first place.
