Reading

1. What is bullying?
2. How to help
3. Conclusion.
4. The roles kids play
5. Why do we need to take action against bullying?
Bullying
A.
Bullying is not just physical, like hitting or kicking someone, or taking their
things without permission. Bullying can also be with words – saying or writing
things that are not nice. Another type of bullying is social – choosing not to
include someone, embarrassing someone or telling other people not to be friends
with them. Bullying can happen at school, on public transport, when you're
walking home, online ... in fact, it can happen anywhere. Bullying involves an
imbalance of power – one person (or a group of people) that is more powerful
than another. Maybe this person has private information or is more popular, or
maybe they are physically bigger and stronger.
B.
Bullying usually involves more people than you think. There are the people who
bully and those who are bullied. (It is better not to say ‘the bully’ and ‘the
Unit 5. Teens and the World
73
victim’ because that makes it sound like things can’t change.) Sometimes other
people help the bully or join in. Then there are the kids that support – they don’t
bully anyone directly, but they support the bullying by being an audience. They
laugh or encourage the children who are bullying in other ways. This is why it’s
important for everyone to work together against bullying. Some children see
what is happening and want to help, although they don’t know how. Others may
comfort and defend the person being bullied. To stop bullying we need everyone
to be brave and take a stand.
C.
Sadly, bullying is really common. In a study of young people in the UK aged 1220, half of them said they had been bullied. About 1.5 million young people in
the UK were bullied last year, and many of these were bullied every day. People
who are bullied are more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety. They
might lose interest in the activities they enjoy, avoid spending time with other
people and not go to classes or school, which has a negative effect on their
learning.
D.
Does your school do anything to prevent bullying? Why don’t you create a
student anti-bullying group? This group can do many things. Let the head teacher
know how well the school is doing with fighting bullying and give them advice.
Choose an anti-bullying slogan for your school, make posters and displays or
take over the school’s social media for a week to send out anti-bullying
messages.
E.
Bullying is a social problem and it needs a solution from society – in other
words, everyone. The next time you see someone being cruel to someone else,
take a stand! Don’t laugh or ignore what’s happening – tell an adult as soon as
possible and help everyone to realise that bullying is not OK.

How to become a volunteer?
Cultural Note
One of the greatest events in the world
is the Olympic Games. A lot of
volunteers participated in the Olympic
Games in Sochi in 2014. Sochi 2014’s
team of 25,000 volunteers has been
praised for helping to create a “special
atmosphere” at the 2014 Games.
Volunteers from 66 countries were participating in the Games, predominantly
from Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and the
United States.
The average age of the volunteers was just 23 (compared with 44 in
London and 45 in Vancouver), with approximately 82% of Sochi 2014
volunteers aged between 18 and 30.
Olympic volunteering is also a chance to meet people from all
backgrounds, and to focus individual and collective energy on serving others.
It is an important commitment which requires a combination of competences
and experiences. In return, volunteers obtain benefits that can last a lifetime.
They make professional contacts and new friends; are given exclusive
training; and receive a uniform and a participation certificate. A fantastic
opportunity for their own personal development, the pleasure of being actively
involved in a global celebration, and the satisfaction that comes from that.
In 2020 The Olympic Games in Tokyo were cancelled due to COVID-19
pandemic. The next dates for the Games are set in summer 2021. In 2022 the
Olympic Games will be held in Beijing.
1. Read about Areas of Volunteering in Beijing Olympic Games in 2022.
Which area would you apply to participate? Why do you think you are suitable
for it?
