Journal 7: Bullying

Bullying is cruel and it usually occurs because the bully doesn't realize the damage they really do. Even simple joking can turn to bullying, and it's all about how the person being 'bullied' views it. Personally, i hate bully's. I think the world would be a better place if people would stop and realize how terrible it is to make fun of someone else. Everyone's want in life is to fit in with the rest of society, and if a person is bullied, it ostracizes them and makes them feel like everyone in the entire world doesn't like them. Being bullied can lead the victim to depression and anger, and the consequences are great. School shootings occur mainly because the person has been bullied and treated in a cruel, inhuman way. Bullying another person can end up in tragedy, like the Columbine shooting.  the bully usually does't realize the psychological damage they have done to the victim until its too late, and sometimes, the bully ends up becoming the victim. I wish that bullying could stop forever. Hearing for example, about my little sister getting made fun of at school, makes me so angry, if i was there, i think i would do something terrible to the bullies. It's terrible, because she goes to the middle school, so i can't stand up for her, and i know she would't stand up for herself because shes too sweet and tender hearted. I just hate people who are cruel to others. It makes me sick, and the victim is the one who feels the affects, along with the family member. The bully doesn't feel anything. The only affects they get is the satisfaction of knocking someone else down the esteem ladder. It should stop and be outlawed. Everyone should just stop doing it. The only thing that comes out of bullying is pain and hurt, and people these days can be so insensitive to that.  Everyone should just stop and think about what they are doing before they say something cruel.
