What could I possibly learn from same gender bullying if I have already had my personal experiences? Well, I don’t know how to make it stop; I can’t control everyone and make them stop putting each other down. I can, however, raise awareness about this issue and then maybe people can work together to solve it. See bullying is all about how everyone feels about themselves and how others make them feel, if you have a boy who has lots of friends and when he is with them he might bully because he feels the need to be cool in his group; but if you catch him alone and possibly with his girlfriend than he will, most likely, be nicer.
Why is this? Well when you’re with your friends are you content with just being nice and looking like a goody to shoes? No you want to stand out and be as crazy you can be. I know when you read this you are probably in denial. Well but don’t be, you know it’s true, so instead of making up lies in your head see the truth. Think about yesterday, did you tell anyone something mean that you didn’t mean? Did you say a sarcastic comment and nobody got it? People can take those things as bullying. If you are on the other side of those comments than yes you will take it as that as being mean. Either, you sit at home thinking of a plan to get them back or, you let it go and think "hey maybe they were just joking." But people don’t normally do that though, they take what you say to heart and that brings down their self esteem which will result in a possibility of another bully. So I plan to learn how to better pervent this from happening.
Tiffanie,
ReplyDeleteI love this topic. It has a lot to do with what people are going through today. Bullying in schools and anywhere else is terrible and can lead to awful things. It is true that people can take thing seriously even though it is meent to be a joke. Wonderful job on you topic! I like the real life situations, it makes this seem more relatable.
