Answer:
1. Yes, I do have similar ideas with the author. This is because I have seen and heard of some the cases the author mentioned playing out as a result of bullying. Some young people when bullied, nurse it internally and it affects their academics or even their health and in some cases they take their own lives.
2. Actually, I agree that it's a tough world out there. It is world of the survival of the fittest. If you are not tough and strong, the tough and the strong will intimidate and beat you down.
Step-by-step explanation:
The issue of bullying is something authorities must look into in order to curb. Also, parents should help their wards by training them on how to be tough in a tough. Bullying causes low self-esteem and also kills the morale and motivation of young people to forge ahead in life.
The popular saying "When the going gets tough, the tough get going", can be adopted here because in a world that is tough, if you are not tough, you will not get going. In order for one to survive the world today, it is important to develop tough skin and stand firm.
