BULLYING
By Emmy Dolin
Bullying is a huge cause that can have a big impact on so many people’s lives. It is horrible. People kill/hurt themselves because they get bullied so much. The cause of bullying happens when someone doesn’t feel good about themselves, so they put other people down to make them feel better about themselves. There are a few types of bullying. Mental, physical, and verbal bullying.. I believe that if you care enough to end bullying, you CAN make a change in someone’s life.
The first type of bullying is mental. A boy named Alex Libby gets mentally bullied regularly. He gets bullied at school and most people there are bystanders. A bystander is someone who knows someone else is getting bullied, but does nothing to try and help, or to make it stop. Bullying affects many people’s lives mentally. When some people get bullied, they feel the need to hurt themselves or even commit suicide, because they believe the bully when they say, “you are ugly, stupid, you are worthless, (etc.), even though it is not true. The victim feels horrible and they feel that they are not welcome to the world and that they don’t belong in the world. That being said, I am willing to make a change to stop bullying by telling a lot of people who I know that they should try to stop bullying too. Iam going to tell lots of people how it can affect your body and your life. When someone is getting bullied, you should,t be that person who decides to think that it is funny, start laughing, start to whisper about it, because that alone, is bullying! More people need to start standing up for the victim, and tell the bully that it has gone too far. ‘Stand for the silent.’ ~ Quote by Alex Libby.
Next, a form of bullying is physical bullying. This type of bullying happens to many people and they always get injured because of it. Physical bullying is when someone bullies you with their hands, feet (etc.). For example, Alex Libby tells interviewers how he regularly gets punched and strangled. People at Alex Libby’s school were bystanders. Overall, I believe that being a bystander is also a form of bullying because you are not telling anyone what is happening! Physical bullying can cause you to get cuts, bruises, and many more injuries. People even think that it is their fault for getting bullied that they want to kill themselves. People bully others to make them feel better about themselves. I say that everyone should feel wonderful about who they are and/or what they act and look like.
Finally, one more way to bully is verbally. Alex Libby gets bullied verbally, too. People at his school called him “fishface” based on the way he looked to others. People would make fun of him because they heard rumors about him that were untrue. People would laugh at him because he acted a certain way. A lot of people were bystanders. This makes me feel really bad for the victim, and makes me want to make a change. Alex’s mom says, “ I think that is it so ridiculous that these kids act this way to their classmates!” I agree. That being said, if you are getting bullied or even if someone is getting bullied, tell someone! A parent, teacher, relative, someone. I feel so strong about bullying that I am going to be making a change with some of my friends.
Bullying is happening all around the world and many people get hurt, and affected in many different ways because of it. Of course no one likes bullying because it is sad, heartbreaking, and depressing. If you see someone getting bullied, don’t be a bystander. People are bystanders because they feel like if they stand up for the victim, they will be the next target. I feel so passionate about bullying that for my Bat Mitzvah project, I will be making a change, donating money and creating a foundation to help it stop. It would be nice if the world was a bully - free zone, wouldn’t it?
