If you had a chance to reform/change something in society, what would it be and why?
-.-
If I had a chance to change anything in society, I would change the outcome of bullying. Bullying has been a huge problem of society. It started out with physical and verbal bullying. It has now evolved to cyberbullying. Now that we have all of this technology, anyone can get away with hurting someone.
Anonymity can make you unnoticed from anyone. Then that person doesn't get punished for their wrong. Technology can be a good and bad thing in this society and situation.
The outcome of bullying usually scars people for the rest of their lives. It can also lead to teen depression, thoughts of suicide, and other mental health issues. Sometimes people have depression before or even after bullying starts. Some of the time, the victim is punished instead of the bully. Victims sometimes begin to skip school, not do homework, or their grades may drop tremendously, caused by depression.
Bullying has been an epidemic for centuries. Many years ago, they didn't understand why it happened. Now, it's been happening for so long that sometimes it isn't noticed, mainly because about eighty percent of bullying is through the Internet.
Victims are usually terrified to tell anyone. They are afraid of what would happen if they told an adult. They might feel insecure, unsafe, and vulnerable. No one deserves to feel that way. They may feel pressured to go to school. Some people feel so emotionally overwhelmed and hurt that they feel they need to feel pain.. They might feel useless, worthless, tired, numb, or just awful all together. The victim might lie about how they feel, but as themselves, they know they're not okay, but can't admit they need to get help.
~Not only does bullying create emotional scars, it can also create physical scars, too.~
