Bullying is a serious problem today, and has been in the past. In fact, the headline today on AOL.com was about a boy who committed suicide because he was bullied. I hate that. I do not think things should ever get so bad that a person's only option is suicide. That is absolutely terrible and there is no reason for that to happen. Anyone who bullies people has no excuse to be bullying them, and they deserved to be immediately punished. Also, I believe it is not just the responsibility of the bullies to not bully people, but I believe that bullying is the responsibility of others who witness the bullying and/or who know that bullying is going on. People that know bullying is happening are just as responsible for the bullying as are the people that are actually inflicting the bullying. They have just as much power to stop the bullying as the bully does, therefore is held to the same level of responsibility. I hate bullying. It is one-hundred percent unnecessary. I have witnessed bullying before, right here at Pleasant Plains High School. Bullying is gross and disgusting and I wish more people would report bullying or would at least stand up to the bully and tell them what's up. Bullying can have such a serious effect on the victim of bullying. As I shared earlier, people sometimes kill themselves because of bullies. That is serious. If any bully thinks that bullying is not serious, they are wrong. Bullying can be a life or death matter. There is nothing about that, that is not serious. People can be emotionally scared from bullying for their whole life. As humans, we carry emotional "baggage" with us. We have excellent memories, and do not forget the things in our lives that were extremely painful, embarrassing, degrading, or memorable. We just do not. We think about those things over and over again and want to hold the people accountable who were responsible for the pain that we felt. Emotional things stay with us for our entire lives, and bullying is one of those things that definitely can stay with a person emotionally forever, and can have a drastic outcome on a person and can change a person a lot.
