Assignment 10: Bully

Getting bullied isn’t fun, sometimes kids or even adults take it really far, and they end up hurting or sometimes killing someone for no reason.

I have never been bullied before, I have been lucky, but I did have a friend who was bullied and never told us anything, he was nice, smart, funny, and cute. He never did anything to deserve those constant messages, phone calls, painful hits. He was just a normal 15 year old.

One night I went to his house and he was crying, I didn’t know why, He was always so happy, you would never see him cry. I had asked him what had happened he felt embarrassed and he didn’t want to tell me, but I begged him to. He told me everything that was going on, he said kids would give him crap. I got really worried and I asked him what he was going to do and he said, “I’m gonna try to stay away from school for a while, just to let them calm down”  I didn’t really think anything of it I just thought that maybe I would pass, but I guess I was very wrong. It was a Saturday afternoon, and my phone rang, it was Michele she was crying I got really worried, she said she needed help so hurried to her house. When I got there Michele came out running and she said I don’t want to play anymore!!! I asked her what she meant, but she said nothing. When I went into my friend’s room, it was too late.

I heard on the new that there was a 15 year old in Massachusetts who also committed suicide because she was tired of all the bullying. They also said that the staff from the school didn’t do anything. 9 students were charged, and sent to prison, because of all the abuse. Those students would send her nasty messages, and give her ugly comments.

I think it’s very wrong that some schools don’t care that you are being bullied, don’t they know how many people, and students have killed themselves because of it? I always think that they don’t care because it’s not their children, but what if it was? They would probably be sending cops to their kids schools.

People think it’s easy to make fun of others, it is, but being the one getting bullied isn’t.
