Bullying

So lately in the news, you've been hearing about suicides due to bullying. And some people out there must be thinking, that was probably some really harsh bullying or the kid's a wimp. But I have a friend, who was teased and has tried to kill his/herself (not implying gender) many time. Bullying is very mean and extremely disrespectful to anyone and everyone. If you have ever bullied a kid or another person, you should be ashamed of yourself!

Bullying at first doesn't seem like much but it's just not on the surface that you hurt that person. It's deep down and it's those scars deep down that NEVER heal. My friend was in the hospital for over a month because some jerks decided that teasing him/her would be funny and cool. Well listen here you assholes, it wasn't! I hope you all get what you deserve! He/she told me that he/she held a knife up to his/her neck! Overdosed on his/her medicine! All there incidents are very real and i try to be a good friend and listen and support him/her whenever i can but my efforts are wasted if the assholes keep teasing him/her. The poor guy/girl switched school because people were being such jerks and every time i want him/her to come back, he/she says that will only make it more likely that he/she will kill herself.

Dr. Michael Fowlin, a man specialized in race,discrimination, violence prevention and personal identity. He gave a lecture and said don't be a zebra. You know why? Zebras, when one of them is attacked by lions/other predators they just stand by and watch it go down without helping. So if you ever tease someone or bully them in any way, KNOCK IT OFF! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW BAD YOU'RE HURTING THEM!!! Don't stop right before they go and kill themselves. Stop bullying before it even starts. Stand up for what you know is right, even if you're the only one standing...
