Story Behind My Topic.

I have had friends who have been bullied, and I have been friends with those were the bullies. I have had horrible experiences with this issue. I believe that this issue is taking a huge toll in today’s society especially in high schools. Bullying hurts people in many ways. I have seen it happen right in front of my eyes, why I was didn't report it, I will never know. I have been bullied and I hope to never experience it again. At one point in time, I didn't even want to go to school because of it. I was simply being bullied because of my weight, not fitting in with all the "preps" at my school, and just hanging out with the people that I could truly call my friends. Bullying made a huge impact on my life and now because of it, I do not only see people for the way they look on the outside, but how they look on the inside also. It is hard to believe that anyone would be in the state of mind to put someone down just because of simple things like looking different, being different, and being "real". Bullying lowers self-esteem and seems to leave that one person in horrible state of mind. Teens these days don't realize how bad this has gotten. But at this point in time, I do believe everyone needs to take control of their actions and open their eyes to see that bullying does hurt people; not just them self’s, not just the people that they are bullying, not everyone around them, but everyone in the world.
