You're a normal 16 year old highschooler right? Of course, just like everyone else. Go to class, eat lunch, rarely use your locker, hate homework, and check out guys and girls. All those things are perfectly excusable. But, its the one thing... The one thing that just can't slip by, cant be hidden or covered up, not at all. Simply walking past a poor kid being bullied... Its inexcusable to look over, Witness an older kid bullying his or her fellow student, watch that poor kid be pushed into lockers, snacks they bought stolen from them. Even And especially, being made fun of for having a mental or physical disability. You watch this regularly and act as if its "normal" and ignore it. That's... That's whats inexcusable. The fact you spectate upon your fellow student having to deal with this unfortunate treatment, and just walk on by, Back to you're lunch table or you're next class. Its that very thing that makes you most putred of all. The human species are supposed to care for there fellow man, Come to each others need when at their lowest. Yet there you are... Watching... Ignoring... not caring. This, compared to other student behavior, is the most inhumane of all. To not care about the things that happen to you're fellow man... Your fellow human is just inhumane and thoughtless. Heartless... And e-moral...

I bet there may have been a time when you wondered... Wondered what it was like for the kid on the receiving end of this abuse. Wondered how that kid felt, physically and mentally... You may have imagined yourself in that position. You taking the brunt of the abuse, lying on the ground... Defeated. Experience a stress that takes a toll, a large toll, on your mental state. This is what happens to that kid... When you decide to just walk on by pretending you didn't see a damn thing. Sometimes even, ignoring the victims crys of defeat, totally broken down over such a long time putting up with such an experience, endured regularly. Its a horendisly sad sight to see a student sitting alone, in a corner, head down, wallowing in their depression. And you have the audasisty not to care, or at least... Pretend not to. This is the one, most inexcusable action you can take towards a bully picking with its prey. So I'm asking you, next time you see someone being bullied, physically or verbally, stand up. Stand up for your distressed fellow student. Because in the end, You may have saved that poor kid... From their self.
