Bullying


Bullying is not acceptable. People’s lives  are ruined and even taken because of it. Bullying can cause serious psychological damage that can haunt people for the rest of their lives. In some cases, people cut themselves or even take drugs as well. These are prime examples of how tragic bullying can be. I’ve seen bullying occur firsthand countless times. Most of the time you don’t think to try to stop it, because you aren’t being affected, but watching someone be bullied without taking action is just as bad as being the bully. Fortunately, there are ways to stand up against it. If you see someone struggling with bullies, you should reach out! Talk to them, and be their friend. Suicide as a result of bullying is not only tragic, but highly preventable as long as you use your voice.
