At the Bullying event we learned that everyone in some ways are the same. What I mean by that is yeah everyone does not want to admit that they were a bully and why would we want to say that we were even bullied ourselves. The thing is though is that all of us have been the subject of bullying and the people who do bully at some point of our lives. Basically what we did was we first started to learn about bullying and how it is in schools now, which is plan out horrible. Then we did a activity that was taken from the movie Freedom Writers, which was if you have done it or its happen to you then step to the middle where there is a strip of red tape. This activity is basically there to show kids like us that you aren’t the only one, that other people have done it to and it has also happen to other people. My school was honestly horrible because you had kids that always have gotten what they wanted and haven’t learned that life is hard on other people and then you have kids that are on the other side of that ball that work as hard as they can to try and get ahead. You would have kids that would make fun of each other just to do it and it was really sick the things that they would say to one another bringing in the other persons family if their parents were divorced, which didn’t need to be brought up. It honestly shouldn’t matter if you have money or if you are poor, what matters is how you are as a person not ever situation is going to be the best and people will be less fortunate then you with either money or family issues, but that doesn’t give any one person the right to make fun of them for it. I learned from this that to stop bullying if I see it and to never let myself fall into those lines again of making fun of someone that is less fortunate then I am. I hope that other people learned this too because bullying lets be completely honest isn’t going to stop over night and isn’t going to stop any time soon. The only way that we can fight back and make a difference is by being able to fix ourselves and lead by a example and show people “yeah we did it and yeah we were subjects of bullying”, but that doesn’t mean that we will do it again because we have learned from our mistakes and will help people that we see getting bullied. I hope that people actually read this and learn from what wrote because this is how things are in schools nowadays and it honestly needs to stop because it isn’t funny anymore.
