BULLYING
What is to bully? To bully is the action of using
superior strength or influence to intimidate someone, typically to force him or
her to do what one wants. That is how google defines bullying. In my definition
bullying is far more than just intimidation, or superior strength, or just
making someone do something. Bullying is an action that causes someone to think
about his/her life makes people feel insecure about not just something but
everything they do. This is a lot more serious than just making someone do
something. I myself am a great example of this I have been bullied, I have been
made fun of, made to feel as if I am nothing, I’ve been there. I was in the
position where I had the superior strength so why was I being bullied? The funniest
thing is that everyone believes it’s a joke when I tell them. Examples of what
they would say would be “how is a 6.2, 280 pound football player being bullied?” “Duuude you bench 260 pounds, you squat more than half a ton who the hell
would dare to punk on you”. It doesn’t matter who you are what position in life
you got as long as there is an idiot who believes the stupidest thing is funny
and other people would find it funny or not even act because they are afraid of
being the next victim. This is the reason I chose this “social problem”
although it is more like a social disease, I also chose and like this short
film because it shows how the bully feels when one of his family members is
being put through the same thing he’s putting another person through, not that I
find pleasure in any way from seeing this happen, but it opens the bully’s eyes
and forces him to see the horrific things he’s been doing and agreeing with. This
short film made me think of no matter who you are, bullying will affect you
too. As shown in the short film bullying affected the bully. Happily this short
film didn’t end in a horrific event but there is many situations like this that
end with suicide. There is a percentage of 14% of teenagers have considered
suicide and about 7% have actually committed it all because of bullying.
