Assignment #10: Bullying

   

   You can find bullies all over this world. It has been going on since the first English man owned the very first slave. Many do it because it makes them feel better about their own lives. All the children i think have been bullied once or twice in their life time. Not necessarily been pushed around but been brought down by words or have been humiliated. Everybody gets bullied for many reasons like if you're poor, you have a very different sense of style, you talk different, your skin color is not like the others, your race or religion is not like the bully. Both genders boys and girls get bullied or also both genders become bullies.

   Many are bullies to feel good about how they are. Many are unhappy children and that is why they treat others as they feel. Though it is not the correct thing to do they tend to take their anger out on the victims repeated times if they see they are defenseless? Many don't care about the victim is feeling nor how he or she is affected by it. The bully just gets this sickening pleasure from the pain they bring upon the victims without showing any bit of remorse. The bully never stops to think What if it was me the one being bullied and what if it was me with all that pain.

  The families of the victims are affected by it because who would like to see their child hurt that way? Some families go somewhat through the pain the victim goes through because they see the pain and they also feel defenseless. Many don't lose hope and they just think the bully will get tired of torturing the victim and finally get bored but many don't and that's when something tragic happens. Many families lose their family members because they did not want to face the fact that that was something actually going on.

   The victim goes through the most pain of course because he or she doesn't just get pushed around they get called names by many children given by the bully. Many victims get sexually abused some way. Most of the victims commit suicide thinking that is the only way out. Many authorities tend to just ignore the fact that that is happening in that school. Many victims run away from home to get away from that. Many victims also move school districts to feel safer. One of the bad things going on right now is since technology is so popular now everybody spreads rumors or even pictures through the internet humiliating the victims even more. The worst thing about being bullied is that the victims can get P.T.S.D., because they do have to live with it all their life.

    Being bullied is not the best thing to have happened to anyone. If in need of help always seek help in any way you can. Life is too beautiful to be taken away by yourself just because kids are too immature. If you are bulling others just put yourself in their shoes and try to feel a little bit of what you are doing to them. Get into sports and get all that anger out of your system. Love yourself and except others for who they are.
