the issue of confidence

 _{There are many elements to bullying. One can be said to be confidence, in which the victim either stands up for himself or does not. This can have a lasting effect on both the bully as well as the prey; it can also change either's outlook to bullying. For example, if the bully is simply trying to fit in, and you stand up to them and explain that to them, then they may or may not happen to change their ways and turn over a new leaf. Additionally, from the perspective of the bullied, they may also change into stronger and firmer people after overcoming the hurdle of bullying. In ways, there are pros; however, ultimately the cons outweigh whatever small positive glimmers in the midst of all the negativity.}
