When I was younger I was always told be a leader instead of a follower, but as I get older it's becoming harder and harder to be a leader because there is so much drama and peer pressure going on at school. I once told a friend not to let people tell her she wasn't good enough or that she wasn't pretty/fat, etc. I told her that because she was the opposite of all those things, she's nice, kind, pretty, generous, and so much more.
Bullying is a very bad thing going on at school these days and it needs to stop. I personally bullying needs to stop because so many people get hurt and pushed around because of bullies and some people I used to know were scared to go to school because of bullying so it seriously needs to stop.
I used to be friends with a bully but then I decided not to be friends with her anymore because I realized how bad bullying was. I was just watching her bullying the other kids and I didn't bother to do anything because I didn't know what type of affect it had on me even though I wasn't being bullied and I wasn't doing the bullying.
