Assignment #3 Bullying

I can’t remember me ever being bullied. I think I was never bullied because I never gave anyone a reason to bully me. Some of my friends were bullies too so that could be another reason. I have seen some of my friends bully other kids and I have seen someone bully another kid in class. Most of the time it’s not the kid’s fault that he or she gets bullied on. Kids take out there anger on other kids by bullying them. Bullying has become a big problem in schools because if you’re different then you get bullied on. Everyone needs to help stop bullying. It’s wrong to watch another kid get bullied and you’re ok with that.

I never got bullied because in my elementary school everyone was nice not one was mean to each other. We all talked to each other, played with each other, and nice to each other. In middle school I was never bullied either. But that’s where I started to see all the bullying happen. Some kids would pick on other kids if they were fat, to short, if they were stupid, and a lot more things that they could tell them. There was a lot of bullying at my middle school. Most of all the bullying happened at lunch. The one kid that I remember getting picked on a lot was a smart kid that wears glasses and he was a little chubby. He didn’t care he ignored everyone and sometimes tried to fight back. I think that’s why they picked on him because he would try to stand up for himself. They probably thought that it was funny when he tried to stand up for himself. It was pretty horrible what they did to him. They threw food at him, threw rocks at him, and trip him. Till when he got to the seventh grade a teacher talked to all the kids that were picking on him. She told them that they could get in big trouble for what they are doing and asked them how they would like it if they were getting picked on. Now that’s enough about middle school let me tell you about high school. In high school I don’t see any bullying. I think it’s because everyone here is mature enough to know what bullying can cause.

I never gave anyone a reason to bully on me. I was a little chubby in elementary school but I didn’t get picked on for being fat. I have always been a pretty smart guy and I never got picked on for that either. In middle school I think that I got lucky because I was not fat no more. If I was fat in middle school than I would of got picked on for sure. I also think that a good reason I never got picked on was because a lot of the kids that would bully on other kids were cool with me. When I would spend my lunch with them I would see them bully other kids. Back then I didn’t care what happened to other kids so when they bullied on those kids I didn’t do nothing to stop them. Now if that were too happed I would say something or do something to stop the bullying. Even in class sometimes I saw bullying. Like one time I saw this one kid put gum in this other kid’s hair. It was pretty messed up he had to cut his hair to get it off. The other kid got in trouble and was sent to the office.

Most of the time it’s not the kid’s fault that he or she gets bullied on. It’s not their fault that they are different. Everyone is different from one another. If someone is a smart, stupid, fat, skinny, tall, or to short that doesn’t mean that you have the right to pick on them. Why should you pick on someone for being who they are? People shouldn’t like to put other people down if someone is down then we need to bring them back up. Another reason kids get bullied on is because one kid is getting bullied so they bully other kids weaker than them. They shouldn’t take their anger out on someone else they need to learn how to control their anger or find something that will help release that anger.

It is wrong to watch a kid get bullied because it’s like watching someone getting beat up. People get hurt inside when they are getting bullied. Or sometimes they get beat up and get hurt physically. Would you want someone to watch you get bullied because I know that I would not like it one bit. It is humiliating to see someone watching you get bullied. If you ever see someone getting bullied you should go and try to help him. Think about how he is feeling when he is getting bullied on and try to put yourself in that position. If you were in his or hers position than I bet you would want someone to help you. So next time you see a kid getting bullied instead of watching them get bullied do the right thing and help them out. It will make that person getting bullied feel better and it will make you a better person.

If we stop bullying think of how much better the world would be. There would be fewer suicides because people commit suicide because they are getting bullied and can’t take it anymore. Everyone doesn’t have to worry about being different. They can just be themselves and feel good about it because no one is going to bully on them. People don’t need to get bullied because they are different because they might commit suicide or hurt themselves. If you are ok with a other human killing themselves than something is wrong with you. Think about his or her family and how are they going to react when their son or daughter commit suicide. Don’t bully anyone because I bet you don’t like getting bullied and I better the other person won't like it ether.
