How many times have you heard someone kill them self in the past two years? How many of those people were teenagers? Now, how many of those teenagers killed them self because of bullying. Bullying is running rapid thorough out our generation and suicide is following right behind it. More teenagers are killing themselves because of the harsh words that come out of the mouths of bullies in schools and over the internet. Bullies can come in all shapes and forms. We all picture the bully to be some mean girl who is a queen bee and targets some innocent girl with braces and glasses to make herself feel better. Maybe we think about big, husky boy who tells a nerd to give him his lunch money then slams down his books onto the floor. We all hate these bullies because they are the ones that are trying their hardest to strike down the weaker link. But stop and think. Have you said a few bad words about one of your schoolmates to your friends? Have you laughed at someone's outfit or maybe even their hair? Small acts like these, if heard from the one you were talking about, can be crucial and damaging. It can lead them to become more insecure and venerable. Even small little jokes that aren't meant to be taken wrongly can be easily misinterpreted. We have to be careful of the words that we say. Yes, it may be hard to do. Words are easy to just flow out of our mouths without us thinking. But if we don't watch the words we say, who will? No one. We have to take this seriously. A life that could have very well changed the world was lost to bullying. A life that could have made a new invention was lost to bullying. A life that could have helped another life was lost to bullying. We don't think about the impact that person could have had in the future. They could have been great but we took away that greatness. We really have to take into consideration how precious a life is. If we don't, then we will carelessly keep on bullying. We have to be aware of what we do and aware others as well. Bullying can take a life. A life that is taken is now a damaging the future ahead.
So firm and guilt-making . I was ready for you to point out other bullies but you turned it around on the reader. You made us want to contemplate , are we really the bully, is that sly comment i made 4 mins ago bullying. I myself see how i can be more cautious with the comments i make too. I didn't see that much direct pathos, like maybe you should of added an experience, testimony , something like that to really sadden your reader. Awesome Job!
