When Will It Stop
By William Briner
Bullying has been a problem in schools for awhile. Another victim, Amanda Todd, took her life because of being bullied. A chilling YouTube video gave details of the bullying. Amanda Todd did it herself. She did the video herself.
The video opens up with Amanda Todd holding stacks of cards. She is showing each card. It’s about her bullying. It started in the seventh grade, when she flashed her breasts on live cam. She lost respect and friends due to that simple thing. Her friends urged her to flash her breasts. She did it so she wouldn’t lose her friends. She didn’t know she would lose them anyway. Why do our friends do us that way? I’ll tell you why it’s because of their arrogance for other’s to do what they won’t. I used to be bullied so I know what it is like to be put down.
The cards went to go say that they made fun of her for doing it. She got surrounded by her bullies. First it was all talk, and then they hit her and beat her up. Where were the school officials at? I’ll tell you; they were on their butts watching it. Why couldn’t they stop it? They were too busy enjoying it. I remember when I was bullied they was too busy enjoying it. I learned to fight myself. I wasn’t taking it no more. I wished that is what Amanda Todd did, but she didn’t. She committed suicide.
Suicide and bullying go hand and hand. Do you want to know how I know? I went through bullying and suicide. Every time I hear this happen I wish I was there to stop it. How kids act toward each other is pathetic. I wish it would stop.
It’s time for us to end bullying now! Parents, teachers, and students need to act together to end bullying. It’s the only way to end bullying and suicide. So help me out and end bullying and suicide.
