When Bullying Goes Wrong (SSR)
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/fifteen-bullies-pushed-girl-suicide-authorities-article-1.1455917
The link above contains a devastating article that explains how a 12-year-old girl from Florida who committed suicide. Rebecca Ann like any other kid was a normal teenager living her everyday life. Last year Rebecca attended Crystal Lake Middle School in Florida. Unlike others Rebecca was one of the who get bullied in our every day lives. Bullying-use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants.
This start of the bullying began last year over boyfriend problems.Last December, Rebecca was hospitalized for three days after cutting her wrists because of what she said was bullying, according to the sheriff. Later, after Rebecca complained that she had been pushed in the hallway and that another girl wanted to fight her, Rebecca's mother began home-schooling her in Lakeland, a city of about 100,000 midway between Tampa and Orlando, Judd said. Her mom had no clue that her daughter was being bullied in the new school. Even though Rebecca mentioned to her mother that she was being bullying in her old school. Rebecca's mother claimed that her daughter hasn't shown any signs of depression since she's been in the new school.She changed one of her online screen names to "That Dead Girl." She messaged a boy in North Carolina: "I'm jumping." And then, on Monday, the Lakeland girl went to an abandoned concrete plant, climbed a tower and hurled herself to her death.
I think that Bullying is wrong, and i also think that bullying comes in different shapes and forms. Some people can act like nothings wrong but deep down inside they're living in depression. Some people have to learn their limits and how far they can push someone. Bullying doesnt make you cool it makes you a coward. Instead of making someone feel bad about themselves, learn how to love and help one another. SAY NO TO BULLYING !!!

I agree with you completely! Did you read my post on this topic? Your title is a little misleading. I thought you were going to say that bullying is only wrong if it leads to suicide. Your conclusion is on point with my class rule!
