Thought 23- Bullying

Bullying us not ok and I know you probably get enough of that lecture at school. Maybe if people would actually pay attention, though, others would not repeat it.

I just cannot wrap my mind around why anyone feels the need to bully. It does not make you a bettee person. You will not gain friends. Maybe someone is out there like "Yeah. Says the cheerleader." It is just a sport and bullying can happen to anyone. There was a girl on my squad that was cut because she was 'too fat' to be a cheerleader. She is not very big but the captain was being a bully about like 10 pounds.

I have another friend who has loved music for a long time and wants to be a musician. She has been getting soooo much crap lately and it breaks my heart to hear how people are treating her. She has completely lost all of her confidence in everything, especially the thing she loves most: music.

I could probably gi on for awhile with anecdotes but I will stop there. Bottom line: I cannot figure out what people get out of bullying others. They so not the victim's lost self esteem.
