Just Stand by and Watch


Just stand by and watch. This is what people did that day when the torment took place. They simply stood by and let it happen without even a second thought. Every day this happened and for some odd reason, people thought they were too good or were too afraid of what other people might have thought to do anything. And all the while you were watching this go on, the person that was the target of this was just praying and hoping someone would step in to save him from this cruel torment. But help never came that day. And no one knew it yet, but that day was the most important day someone could have come to that boys rescue. Because that very day, the boy vowed, was the last day he could handle any more of this suffering. That very day the boy no one knew went home with the voices of not only his bullies but also the voices of the people that just stood by and watched. With tears streaming down his face, he frantically searched for the tool that would end all of his pain and suffering. As this is going on your are sitting at home not thinking twice about the lonely boy you watched get bullied in the halls day after day. The boy rested the piece to his head and by pulling that trigger ended his suffering. And you just stood by and watched. This wasn’t the only case of this. This wasn’t the only torment people have seen go on in schools just like this. All around there are kids, who day after retched day try and hide themselves in inside, in classrooms, bathrooms, and empty hallways all alone wondering what they had done to deserve such cruel punishment and why no one steps in to help them. It seems like kids at all schools are looking for the easier route to take. The route that keeps them looking cool or to not be made fun of like the boy or girl that stands before the seas of people. It seems like everyone is just turning towards the route of just standing by, and watching.

This piece is about thinking before you act and thinking about other people and the effect you could or possibly couldn't have on another persons life. This is also about some horrible things i have seen and also experienced in my life.
