Bullying has existed for a long time. There’s no way you can stop bullying, because it will always happen no matter what. When you see bullying you should report it to a teacher or an adult, so they can try to figure out what’s happening. If you don’t tell a teacher or an adult, the cause may get worse, and it could lead to Suicide, or, someone would be stupid enough to commit suicide because of getting bullied. You would think that you can stop bullying, well, you really can’t. Bullying happens all around the world. It will never stop, no matter what. There are ways to prevent it, but it will keep happening. I’ve gotten bullied before, but not as badly as some people have. I’ve got pushed around and got told I was ugly, and when I wore glasses, I got called ugly just because I wore glasses, and because I wasn’t as pretty as other people. Getting called ugly hurt me, but knowing that more people thought I was pretty than ugly, made me realize, I’m beautiful no matter what they say. Bullying can lead to suicide. No one deserves to be treated the way they get treated when bullies bully them. No one deserves to be treated that way. Everyone should be treated equal, but no matter what, there will always be them people out there who decide to hurt other peoples feelings just because they want to ruin someone elses life. Some of the reasons why people bully other people is because something might have happened in their life that messed up with how they act or how they treat other people. Their parents could of been drug addicts or parents who don’t care what happens to anyone, so that could change the child on the behavior that they have. Some peoples attitudes can change if they go see a psychiatrist or someone who can help them on their behavior. Bullying is also when you get called ugly, stupid, worthless, emo, gross, etc. Picture a young, teenage boy; He has no friends and he is ignored at home. His family doesn’t have much money for clothes, so he often wears the same outfits. The things he wears are dark in color; he just wants to blend in. These efforts are pointless because he is still singled out. He’s called dirty and made fun of for the way he dresses, no matter what, he just can’t fit in. He’s alone and miserable, he’s angry at the world and God for letting it be this way. He’s approaching a new state of mind: depression. His life is terrible. People hate him, they push him around and call him names. Whether they are verbal or physical, to him, they all mean one thing, nobody cares about him, he just wants it all to be over. Imagine, for every mean word you say to someone it leaves a scar on the outside of their skin instead of their insides. Everything you say can hurt people, even if they don’t show it. The saying “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” has no meaning at all. All the words, teasing, and pranks, will build up and eventually have even worse effects on everybody. Bullying can lead someone into depression and that can lead to suicidal thoughts. How would you feel about yourself if you know you’re the cause of someone’s death? I feel very strongly about bullying, because I don’t see the point in it. Is it to make the bully feel better about him/herself? Speak up for not only for yourself, but for other people. I know you may not want to be the “snitch” or the “tattletale”, but you speaking up may be the victims only chance.
