  After viewing Lady Gaga’s news, I want to have a say on campus bullying. First, I partially agree with the concept that family, teacher and mess media share responsibilities on campus bullying. However, it seems that we frequently skip an important role who cannot shun the responsibility, either. That is the onlookers, who silently witness campus bullying occurring. These onlookers are bullies in disguise due to their silent permission to violent incidents. Their behaviors may be based on two different psychologies: one is the fear of being the next victim once they sympathize the bullied, and the other is the hatefulness toward victims just like those bullies. Nevertheless, whatever these onlookers ponder, their attitudes of standing by will only enforce the violence to happen instead of terminating it.

　　　Second, some myths about bullying are held by public, and require fixing. In some expeerts’ sentences, students with poor academic performance will bully others to draw teachers’ attentions. Conventionally, students who score low are apt to bullying their classmates. But do students with excellent grades not bully others? Another myth relates to Sharon’s feedback that the bullied do not want to get along with others due to their inferiority. A traditional concept is held that a shy or timid person tends to be a victim. However, conditions like lack of friendship or transferring to a new place may be crises for the long-term bullied. Other myths like bullies possessing a low ego remain discussed. Actually, there is no evidence to prove the relationship between bullies and low self-esteem. Contrarily, most of them are confident and popular among their peers, especially in junior and senior highs. Maybe adolescent youths consider rebellion and bullying ways to show their uniqueness and power. In sum, we should fix some stereotypes on campus bullying.

　　　Last, congratulate to Lady Gaga’s successful establishment of the Born This Way Foundation. Celebrity as she is, Lady Gaga still concerns human equality. She believes that no matter the homosexual or the transgendered should share the same equality as others, because God makes no mistakes. Now she strives to reach her goal by helping youths with anti-bullying issues. In her inspiring statement, Lady Gaga said, "Together we hope to establish a standard of bravery and kindness, as well as a community worldwide that protects and nurtures others in the face of bullying and abandonment." Hopefully, her dream of equal society will realize in the soon future.
