Journal 7

Today journal is about bullying. Everyone in the world knows bullying is a huge issue and has gotten even bigger since social media sites like twitter and facebook became popular. There are many people who try to stop bullying and honestly I do not think the problem will ever go away. I think there will always be people trying to put others down. I think people should continue to prevent bullying I just do not think they will ever 100% succeed.

Being bullied is probably the worse thing ever. I think everyone at some point in there life goes through being bullied. Some defiantly have it worse than others. I have personally been attacked through school. When you have a father as an administration people constantly pick on you and say everything you do is because of your parent. I usually just ignore it because I am older and wont see most of these people ever again but it was really hard when I was in elementary school. I remember one time I got student of the month and people told me it was because of my dad. It is stupid that people feel the need to bring others down. I know my bullying experiences are not as near severe as some. People have been physically treated and attacked online. I have never really had to deal with that. It is sad that people have to bring others down to make themselves feel better but I guess that is how the world is. :(

Although most people wont admit it I think it is accurate to say most of us have bullied someone in our lives. That could be a sibling or younger student or even a friend. We have all said something hurtful to a person if we know it or not. I know I have had plenty of unnecessary comments that have offended someone and I don't mean it to come off as bullying. I just tend to speak my mind. I honestly have no clue what goes through a bully s mind. I do not see how you could physically harm someone or attack them on a social website. I hate when people talk about others for who they are dating or what they are or aren't doing. I think the world today is filled with bullies and victims and we all know how it feels to be hurt.
