WHY

What is Bullying?

Bullying is anything that is meant to harm someone or a group of people. It can be a simple is writing a note about someone that ends up being passed around and them getting laugh at. Cyber-bullying is one of the most common forms of bullying out their now. It is scary now what young kids put online about each other. It gets to point where it becomes nasty. I don't understand why people have to post something hurtful like that online. There is a difference between joking around and down right bullying. Joking around has a point where it just isn't funny anymore, but bullying goes extremely far.

It is sad to see young kids taking their lives do to being bullying. It isn't right and needs to stop. I fear it is going to get worse as time goes along, which is extremely sad.

Ever since I was younger, I have been the victim of bullying. It started when I was really young. Through out elementary school go through high school. I was made fun of because I was different and didn't do many of the things that my peers were doing at that time. I couldn't go a day without being bullied. Sometimes I wanted to skip school and stay home because I was afraid the bullying was going to get worse and worse. I loved school. I was one of the top students in my class but hated school due to being bullied. 

The bullying would most of the time be words. The bullies would call me stupid, buck tooth beaver, and so on. Those are just a couple of words that I was called. It hurt because I wanted to be liked by people and wanted to have friends, but wasn't able due to being bullied. Sometimes I could believe those words, which made everything worse and worse.

I am not a perfect angel. I have gone too far on joking and have hurt people. I have really felt bad about it because I don't like to hurt people. I have learned from my mistakes and moved on.

Bullies forget there is someone bigger, badder, stronger, and so on out there that will not put up with their nonsense.

Thanks for listening. Hope you guys like it.

[The Black Warrior]

I have never been bullied, but people at high school used to call me "The note freak" because I would give people notes about whatever God would put in my heart. There were few that thanked me for them, but others just made fun of me. But it wasn't that bad though, I did lose my four friends for I lacked in confidence and didn't really truly opened up to them.

Nicely done!

[Justin]

[Girl With A Pen]

This defiantly rings truth. I too, was bullied in telemetry, middle and some of high school.Kids are cruel. Because I never dated girls started mean rumors that I was a different sexuality then what I really was. It became harder to make friends in high school because no other girls would go near me, thinking I'd hit on them. Then I met a friend who also had rumors started about her, saying she was pregnant. She and I became best friends and told everyone that I knocked her up. Soon the rumors were something to laugh at and not to be feared. If you take away the bullies power to humiliate you then they have nothing and it only makes you stronger. I love your synopsis on bulling, this is a really good piece. :)

[Girl With A Pen]

*Typo, I meant elementary

[Justin]

thanks :) :) :) it is something like me and you and other people have to deal with, it really sucks and it leaves scars that won't ever heal

[Girl With A Pen]

No, you are right. It wont ever heal, but these scars are reminders that we will never become like those who hurt us

[Justin]

yup i agree with you, i think by having really good friends like you helps the scars not as painful!!

[Erin Winter]

I completely agree, except for one thing. Bullies don't forget that there is someone badder out there, they forget that there's someone better.

[Justin]

thanks for commenting on my story, it sucks that people do that to other people, to me, that is one of the most cruelest things a person can do!! :(

[Erin Winter]

Absolutely. It's a shame that those being picked on don't realize that they are genuinely greater then those who bully them.

[Justin]

i agree with you, you never know one day a victim of bullying might be saving the life of a person that bullied them, never know

[Erin Winter]

Not to mention, even if they are insecure, they don't have the loss of morals that comes with being the torturer. They never think, hey! I could do that! Instead, they bear it and eventually come out on top!

[Justin]

i agree with you, the victims who survive and succeed in life are going to have so much more power over the bullies

[Erin Winter]

Not just that, the power is unimportant. There will be so much more substance to them than their tormentor will ever have. It's a matter of strength of character, and no bully has that unless they grow a pair and start feeling bad about what they've done before something irreversible happens.

[Justin]

some bullies think it helps tough up the people that pick on but it is the reverse it just makes the victims life miserable, but once the victim overcomes everything they have a sense of achievement then go on and become what they want to be in life!!!

[Erin Winter]

Overcoming that which is thrown at you is much more impressive than doing the throwing.

[Justin]

yup i agree with you, but bullying is an issue that is going to take many of years to stop

[Erin Winter]

I doubt it will ever stop, only change.

[Justin]

yup i agree with, all we can do is do our best to change it
