Bullying. We all know that it’s everywhere. It could be at
school, online, during activities or teams, or maybe even at a person’s home. Bullies
can come in all different shapes and sizes. A bully could be a big buff guy
that routinely shoves you against your locker, leaving you with multiple
bruises. Or a bully could be a popular girl who uses her charisma and “stature”
to make everyone hate you. Just because you got yourself on the "Loser List" for liking math. But, one thing is for sure: Bullying destroys people and
relationships. When you bully someone,
you make him or her doubt his or her self-worth. You want to make the person
look stupid or feel stupid. These people are called victims. They are the bully’s
“punching bag”, figuratively or literally.
Sometimes
the bully uses intimidation to turn a group of people against another person, even the
victim’s former friends. In a lot of these cases, the victim feels alone,
unwanted, and unneeded. Imagine a world where you thought that nobody wanted
you around. A lot of victims have been lead into depression, which then leads
to them bullying someone else or even suicide. This is why we want to
get the word out to the world to help victims of bullying. Using blog posts,
videos, and interviews, we will teach the world about the harmful affects of
bullying while finding victims or former victims in our community and asking
them what they did or do to cope with their problems.
We are
just a small troop with a huge dream. We want to see a new fresh
generation of happiness and joy around the world. But maybe, one day, with your
help, our dream will become reality. So spread the word. Tell all of your
friends and family. Help us make the world a better place!
