Bulling is N0T Right!!

Bullying is an act of repeated aggressive behavior in order to intentionally hurt another person, physically or mentally. Bullying is characterized by an individual behaving in a certain way to gain power over another person.
  • How many kids wake up in the morning and are afraid to go to school? An estimated 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students - 74% of kids report being bullied or teased each school year - 40% are frequent victims of bullying. 

      Who would think that a little girl at the age of 6, 7 years would be afraid o go to school. Having to wake up every morning looking forward to a stressful day full of bulling and mean comments from their own classmates. Sadly I was one of those kids in elementary remember I would cry because I had to be forced to go to school. As a young girl I didn’t have the privilege to have or  show off new cloths, I didn’t have everything I wanted, and no I wasn’t running around with new shoes every two or what months. My family didn’t have much to offer me, besides the little I had. Being the girl with torn shoes, or boy sweaters, everyone made fun of me. I didn’t understand the reason why at first. Till one morning of kindergarten my mom walked me to school, she would usually walk me to the corner but this time she went all the way in the class room. As I went to go sit down my teacher called my mom to the very corner of the room, there was a mother of one of my classmates; “Crystal Romero” was her name. Next to her was a bag full of clothing, used clothing. It seemed to be Crystals old cloths. As soon as I seen my mom grabs the bag and thanks the teacher, I look to the side and I seen Crystal with the other classmates and they were pointing at me laughing. I felt embarrassed and ashamed of myself, so I put down my head and started to cry. I know my mom’s intention wasn’t to embarrass me but to only help me out. At that moment I could say I was frustrated with my mother. From that day on Crystals job was to inform everyone of how poor I was just to make me the joke of the school. As much as I tried to ignore her and her crowd I couldn’t. She was like my shadow, a mean one I was always trying to run from but I couldn’t.
       
     I dont think bulling is right i really dont agree with it. I fell that bulling hurts other in a physical way and most of all an emotional way. bulling has caused many to take away there own lifes. People who witness bulling and dont do or say anything to stop it are mine as well Bully’s to.
