Bullying... Its something we see in school, sometimes in the job force and outside around our neighborhoods. In my opinion, its pointless, disrespect, shows a lack of character, immature and can be very devastating to the victim. It can leave a scar or wound that could take a very long time to heal. Please share with your fellow classmates your views on bullying. This includes your thoughts, opinions, advice, words of wisdom, how to help, what to do if you see it, how to respectfully defend a victim, etc... Please this is serious. If you have time on your own, watch the video, "Cyberbully." It used to be on YouTube, its an impactful movie. I would also like for you to critique the video called, "To This Day Project". I linked it for you here through YouTube.
Bullying is very hurtful and can lead to suicide if taken too far. I think some people bully others because they don't want others to bully them. They want to fit in with the others that bully that person. My advise is don't bully people. If you see someone getting bullied help them out. Don't just stand by and watch.
ReplyDeleteThat is very true. People have no idea what they are doing. The people they bully have feelings too.
DeleteI agree people should help others out if they see someone getting bullied.
DeleteGood post Dani, thanks for sharing. Always do the right thing. :-)
DeleteI think if more people stepped in to stop bullying, the better they would feel about themselves too, so if they were treated bad they wouldn't be as effected by it.
DeleteI agree danni, people don't realize what they are doing when they bully.
DeleteI agree Sylvia, if people stopped they would also feel better about them selves along with feeling good helping others.
DeleteBullying is one of the most hurtful things in the world. Many people commit suicide because of bullying. Most bullies only do it for attention from others. Sometimes the others join in because they feel cool and want attention too. Bullying needs to stop sooner or later.
ReplyDeleteYes Jodi, very true
DeleteI agree Jodi, bullying needs to stop.
DeleteStep up, defend, help out, do something. Be the bigger, better, more ethical person and defend people. Nice post, thanks!
DeleteI think people bully to feel the power that they've always wanted. Bullying doesn't give anyone power, it just takes other people's power away. It can lead to death and people don't realize that until it happens. I think the video 'To this day project' is very realistic. People think bullying is cool because it makes them feel tough. Bullying doesn't make anyone tough, it makes you look pathetic.
ReplyDeleteTrue Elliot, I agree
DeleteYeah. It all starts with one broken person.
Deletei think this is true it can lead to people commiting suicide. nice
DeleteI agree. Bullying doesn't benefit anyone. People do it to try and make themselves feel more powerful by taking others powers away. It does lead to death and people just tell others to "Suck it up and move on" When it's not that easy...
DeleteI agree Elliot people don't realize how powerful bullying is.
DeleteBullying is a very common thing people tend to do, it happens very often when it shouldn't. If you are witnessing bullying, you should go against it, bullying does not make a person cool nor is it "attractive" if that is what some people think. Bullying often is taken too far, sometimes it leads to suicide. Bullying is horrible.
ReplyDeleteYes! A lot of people will do it because they like the attention of their friends.
DeletePut yourself in their shoes. Defend them. Don't allow bullying, or others to push other students around.
Deletei agree people should stand up for what they believe in not just sit back because they are scared that people wont like them.
DeleteOf course bullying is awful and I feel as if almost everyone can agree. Even people who agree though, don't watch their words. Very often I find that I don't. And we don't see ourselves as the bully, because we have no research on their lives. I think the best way for this society to be rid of bullying is for people to see and learn how just one rude comment can affect someone drastically. We should accept all people and all of their different styles because in all honesty.. who decided what kind of person was 'pretty' or 'cool'. Every person is beautiful, and even more so are the ones who show those who don't believe it to be true. So my advice for today, don't make excuses. Always smile. Take responsibility. Say sorry and change your perspective.
ReplyDeleteAW SYLVIA YOU ARE SO SMART ILY
DeleteGreat thoughtful post. Reflect on your own actions. Change, Think twice. We are all different and we all have special gifts. Take responsibility for your own actions, nicely said.
DeleteNice answer Sylvia, I agree with you 100 percent
DeleteBullying can give people suicidal thoughts. Don't bully because it is not nice. I think Bullying can lead to serious situations. If you see someone getting Bullied help out who ever is getting bullied. Make good decisons before you bully. DONT Bully its not good be NICE
ReplyDeleteYeah it is better to be nice to others than to bully them.
DeleteCorrect, make good decisions. Use the DMM. :-)
DeleteI agree, bullying is a horrible thing.
DeleteI agree dylan. Bullying can lead to very serious situation.
DeleteBullying is just stupid. I don't see how people could find actual enjoyment in causing other people pain. I've watched the video and they are right, all of the bullies are wrong. They are wrong, the things that they bully people about are things that make them unique. They don't see or think about how it effects them. I've been bullied before and all I can say is that they are wrong. Shut them out and try to be brave. I find it sickening how they do it just to hurt others. Some do it to feel better about them selves, I get that, but they can't hurt others for it. I want a place where we can go out and live without being harassed. The ones that get bullied can feel like they don't belong, that's not true. They feel they will never fit in or be loved because of what makes them different. They lock themselves away or hurt themselves to try and "rid the world of the freaks". I absolutely hate how bullies are so ignorant to the ones they hurt. They pick on kids who might be dealing with too much already. And bullies hurting them just adds on more pain. They always say "sticks and stones will break the bones" but the ones that say that aren't typically bullied. The truth is that words and the names they call us hurt just as much as broken bones. They say "deal with it" or "get over it" but you just can't do that! It frustrates me to know that they think we can just stop being depressed with the snap of a finger! You can't! It takes time and support to just help with some pain! Sometimes bullying gets so bad instead of doing mental pain, they will go as far as to do physical damage. Throwing items at them or hitting them! They don't see how much that hurts our mental state. It's just awful, some cruel people will have the nerve to LAUGH at kids when they begin CRYING! How can people do that? They think they don't hurt us but they do, they do. The only thing we can do is say is. They. Are. Wrong. The things they bully us for is what make us beautiful. It makes us unique. It makes us, us. This whole topic just infuriates me to know they do that. Thank you for reading, I hope if you're being bullied that this helps.
ReplyDeleteThis is very good & meaningful, I agree 100%
DeleteWow, great post. Thanks for sharing. You bring up a lot of great points. You are a thoughtful, sincere young lady. Stay true and continue to do the right thing. Educate yourself, learn skills to help oneself and be the bigger, better person. Well done :-)
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I think bullying is completely pointless. I think everybody is equal. We are all human & nobody should have to feel bad about themselves. Bullying causes about 4,400 deaths in the United States per year. People get bullied for being different, but being different is what makes us all unique. If you see somebody getting bullied, stick up for them. Life is a beautiful thing & we shouldn't waste our time being mean or making others feel as if they aren't good enough.
ReplyDeletei totally agree with you aaliyah!
DeleteSome bullying comes in different forms than the usual "you're ugly" or whatever. Its mental abuse at the core and thats all it is. Its pointless and can cause people to do things no man woman or child should do. Its honestly one of the worst things i can see happening in our community right now. Hopefully it will end some day, and stop ending the lives of so many.
ReplyDeletein my opinion i think bullying is pointless and unneeded. Some people bully because it makes them feel better which is not good, but not only do some people self harm because of the topic they commit suicide. In case of the situation you might see someone getting bullied, say something and stick up for them. i honestly think bullying is the worst thing throughout our society.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Brook bulling is unnecessary and I think you should stop it so people don't think their only option is self-harm and suicide.
DeleteI think bullying is something that needs to stop. Bullying doesn't seem as bad as it actually is. Bullying can lead to some serious situation. Bullying isnt something to think is a joke or that its funny. Its something very serious that happens everyday. When your bullied it makes you feel worthless or unwanted which that can lead to self harm or suicide.
ReplyDeleteBullying is not a good thing and should stop. A lot of people die every year because of bullying. There is online bullying and just bullying in person, both are very bad. It causes other people pain so I don't see why other people want to do it. I don't think it would make you feel good being a bully because of how much it could hurt some one. It could cause suicide or some different pain to people just because of how bad you make people feel bad.
ReplyDeleteThis video says a lot, it is all true though. Bullying is very hurtful and actually kills people.It has no benefits and only causes problems people should stop. It harms people and you might find it funny but do you find suicide is funny? No? Then stop, think before you say things
