Bullying. That is this chapter's topic.
So now before I launch into my bullying facts and statistics think back. Have you ever bullied someone? Maybe you have and you don't know it. Maybe you can't stop yourself, either way you need to try.
One out of every twenty students has seen a student with a gun at school. 61% of students said students shoot others because they have been victims of physical abuse at home. Harassment and bullying have been linked to 75% of school-shooting incidents.282,000 students are physically attacked in secondary schools each month.
Imagine you're at school. It's a typical Monday, you're talking to your friends, or possibly scrambling to get some homework done at the last minute, when you hear a commotion. It's one of the "populars" bullying another student. Maybe they are name calling, maybe they are pushing this student around. Now be honest. What do you do? Help them and risk getting bullied? Ignore them and pretend you never saw anything?
What if the student getting bullied saw you looking? Wouldn't it hurt worse knowing that someone saw youhurting and chose to ignore it?
Bullying can cause people to drop out of school, commit suicide, or violent acts. So stop doing it.
Make friends with an "un-popular" kid.
Report bullying.
Let everyone know the dangers.
I realize that I am just some random person on Wattpad who may have no idea what you're going through, but if you ever need someone to talk to all you have to do is message. Besides sometimes it's better not knowing who you're talking to.
