Speak Up Dont be Affraid
BULLIES, are mean insecure people, with issues of their own. Growing up I was bullied, never physically but verbally. Always being made fun. Calling me names, singing hurtful songs to me, just being plain mean. At points I would of preferred of being physically abuse cause at least that pain will go away, but verbally is worse. Words hurt more, they stay with you, stuck in your mind. You start believing all the stuff they are calling you, that your self esteem starts to suffer and you start to feel horrible about yourself. As I grew up I learned and I realize that the more you fear a bully the more power you give them, the best thing was to do was ignore them, even if they kept on hurting you and insisting. Statistics for bullying now have increased. It is estimated that 160,000 children missed school, due to the fear of attack or intimidation by other students. American schools harbor approximately 2.1 million bullies and 2.7 million of their victims. 282,000 students are physically attacked in secondary schools each month. Another statistic reports that revenge is the strongest motive for school shootings. With these stats we would think or imagine that we would have a solution to the bullying problem at schools or any place that happens. Yes there are some solutions, talking to a teacher, parent, or an adult. But that can only go far, we need a stronger solution, so the next generation of kids can have an easier way to "escape". Growing up I learned to deal with my bullies, i learned to stand up to them, and cause of it, it made me a stronger wiser person mentally. We all have to help and stand up for the person that is being bullie, no man left behind.
