Bullying

Another class post!

This is about bullying.  All forms of this act are cruel and unneeded.  They only make a person feel worse about him or herself and make the bullier feel better about themselves.  During my education, I have heard many presentations, lectures, and scenarios about bullying, and to tell the truth, I'm tired of it.  I know what to do when someone is being bullied.  I know not to be a bystander, and help the person in need.  But nobody really listens to what people have to say anymore.  No kid wants to hear about this every few months.  I think it's a good program, personally, but maybe it should only be used once every year.  That way, there would be time to create a new program if necessary.  Although these talks can be boring, they are helpful.  If saving one kid's life means I have to be bored for two hours every school year, then fine.  Because these programs do save lives, whether it be in your town or not.  Every time somebody is saved from hurting themselves or others, it makes the world a better place to live in.  And if the world is a better place, we can all live in peace.  So next time you have a long bullying presentation, just think of how many lives it could possibly save.  Think of some kids you know who could use help.  And act to help children in need of comfort, aid, and friends.
