Make bullying a criminal offence and punish individuals appropriately!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Too many people now a days are taking their life, due to being subject to bullying.
Are the young people today, and in generations to come, ever going to know the severity of their actions?
Bullying is going to continue to infinity unless we enforce a law against this awful often deathly, ‘thing’!
Think back to how many times on the news and in the newspapers, you have heard and read about a death of a human being, due to being subject to bullying.
What is in place to make these people stop bullying, or even want them to stop due to the conclusion they may have to face?
At the minute, nothing.
Make this world a somewhat of a better place, by enforcing how wrong bullying is by making it a crime!
