Assignment #10 Bullying

I personally haven’t been bullied, but when I see someone being bullied in movies or something it still has an effect on me because I think it is so wrong. Bullying can lead to many things not only hurt on that person but on their family. It can lead to depression, death, suicide and for them to run away. I also haven’t seen someone get bullied if I did then I would try to help them because I don’t like when other people get hurt.

It can lead to these things because that person can’t handle it anymore and it’s hard. We had watched a documentary from the Southern Poverty Law Center entitled Bullied. It was sad what that young boy had to go through from middle school through high school. No one should go through what he went through. It shouldn’t matter what anyone thinks. He got bullied because he was gay. No one did anything about it at his school and that led to a lot more. Those kids thought they could keep doing it because they didn’t get punished for it.

If someone doesn’t get in trouble for these actions they are going to keep doing it because they think it is ok, when in reality it’s not. People don’t think how they are hurting someone they somehow get joy out of it, I know they wouldn’t be happy or like it if someone was bullying them. They don’t only bully anyone they will bully anyone who they think is to smart, those who won’t fight back helpless, and maybe those who are by themselves.

It is not only girls who bully it’s also girls. They can be truly cruel to one another they make rumors, make fun of each other, they really can hurt one another. Any bullying can hurt someone physically and emotionally. People think it’s cool to see someone get beat up but in reality that person might have not done anything wrong and you should try and help that person because you could have saved them. They could die or get put into the hospital from someone beating them.

You should always help people instead of hurting them because most likely the person who is being the bully is having personal problems and probably thinks that kid or person has a better life so ill hurt him/her which is wrong.
