Entry 21, Bullies

  Bullies are a very common thing in our society today. As people these days stand out, or are different than the majority of the people, those are the most potential bullied targets. I have personally witnessed many bullies in my life, ever since I was little, there would always be that one group or an individual who is always the bully. There are many different forms of bullying, from the normal physical bullying, which is physically hurting one another, or mental bullying, using verbal languages to affect the victim's mood. Don't think that mentally hurting someone's pride or self esteem is not powerful, there has been many cases in which kids killed themselves due to bullies hurting them, bullying them in school so much to a degree where they cannot find any further solutions. I have personally been a bully myself, or is still sometimes one. I mean, we are teenagers, and being a teenager, you are always there to impress your friends and having a good time, and when there are people that are physically challenged or is more socially awkward than most people, we tend to make fun of them. It is not because we feel insecure or anything, but its just simply funny. I know it is immature and it has been getting less and less in amount as I get older. I believe that people always believe the reasons for bully to bully people is because they are insecure with their social status, or they are actually the bullied ones. I don't believe that is true most of the time, like my example, we do that for fun, it is not because we are insecure of our social status in school, it is just because it is funny. Bullies needs to end, the longer bullying lasts, the more impact it could have within our society.
