Bullying. What is it? Why does it happen? Who are the victims? Well, to me bullying is force used by a person in order to get what they want by causing harm. Another type of bullying is putting a person down and influencing bad and/or inappropriate behaviors to intimidate others. I believe that bullies delve through peoples minds and find things out to have power over them. I read an article about a boy named Bart, and I want to explain the importance of his story. It ties in with my article about bullying.
Bart had committed suicide on the first day of his sophomore year at school. The reason he did this was because of bullying. He was the main target for most of the bullies in his school. He said it was because of his size and weight, in his last note. Bart had always related more with the adults than with his peers. He always felt like he acted a little awkward. He had one friend named Izzy who was 13 years old. Both Izzy and Bart had connected well because like Bart, Izzy was also bullied. I believe that bullying towards a person in any way is wrong. Everyone is unique in their very own way. People should not be picked on for being themselves. A lot of crimes have been committed because of bullying. We need to stop these actions, before another story like Bart's, appears.
In conclusion bullying is a horrible action. I believe that it causes people to do irrational things. If you ever feel like you are being bullied, speak up. Let your teachers, or leap staff know. We want to help you and help the person causing trouble. Bullying is a tough issue during middle school. But, through this article I hope we can stop it one day at a time
