Many people think that all bullying is, is a bigger person pushing a smaller person around. It's not! The worst type of bullying and the most common is verbal and mental bullying. Bully is the main cause of suicide today. For every one suicide there are at least one hundred attempts and in high school 14% of students consider it with 7% attempting it. That doesn't seem like a lot but that is actually thousands of kids and some may be your friends. Bullies pick on others to make themselves feel power, importance, popularity, etc. We are all people and as humans we all have flaws! No one is perfect! People may have personal problems at their home and the last thing they need is to go to school or work and have to deal with even more physical and/or mental torture.
"When people hurt you over and over, think of them like sand paper. They
may scratch and hurt you a bit, but in the end, you end up polished and
they end up useless." -Chris Colfer

"No, you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No, you don't know what it's like" -Simple Plan
"Bruises and cuts heal but mental scars can last forever." -Me
You can't say you know someones pain until you felt it. Put yourself in their shoes and see their story. Bullying is a way to show that your a total jerk.. It does NOT in any cercumstances does it make it ok to yell or change a person just because their gay,bi, lesbian, skin color, or different religion. If you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all. And people posting negativity on the school lockers and walls is not cool either. Be the bigger person and speak up. Stop hate before it's to late.
ReplyDeleteAmen Tyler! No one knows what another is going through because everyone is different. People need to learn how to stand up and take a stand against bullying. It happens everyday to so many people that we never hear about. If anyone sees bullying take a stand. You could help stop it.
