Most likely every person has been bullied or has had a friend that was being bullied. Bullying is the use of superior strength or influence to intimidate, typically to force someone to do what one wants. Bullying doesn't only hurt a person physically, it can also hurt mentally. I would like to stop bullying in my community.
One example of the consequences of bullying is the suicide of Rebecca Ann. Rebecca Ann was a normal teenager living her everyday life. Last year Rebecca started attending Crystal Lake Middle School in Florida where she was bullied over boyfriend problems. Last December, Rebecca was hospitalized for three days after cutting her wrists because of what she said was bullying. 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 mom had no clue that her daughter was being bullied in school, even though Rebecca mentioned to her mother that she was being bullied in the past. Rebecca's mother claimed that her daughter didn't show any signs of depression since she was in the new school.
Rebecca's behavior started to change since the bullying had started. One day as she left for school, but instead of going to the bus stop she began to walk towards an abandoned concrete plant. 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 the 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 doesn’t 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 !!!
Instead of bullying each other and putting each other down, try boosting each others confidence. Instead of bullying doing something positive like doing community service. Or if You have a serious problem with bullying, speak to a therapist. The worst thing to do is to keep all of your feelings to yourself. If you keep your feeling to your self you will began to get really emotional and sometimes emotional. Another alternative to bullying is to write into a journal to express your feelings if you’re not really comfortable expressing yourself to other people. Keep strong and stay positive.
