But one day everything changed, I found a note. The note was her talking about her wanting to commit suicide but she couldn’t decide what method.

According to ABC news, in October 2013, bullying is on the rise. The last couple of years the news and social media have been filled with stories of bullying. Just last week, there was a story on ABC news about a fifteen year old autistic boy from Ohio, who was deceived into pouring a bucket of urine and feces on his head. The pranksters told the boy that it was for the ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) ice bucket challenge. The boy trusted the pranksters and in return he was mortified.

"Pulling someone down will never help you reach the top." is a great quote that everyone should strive to remember. When setting new goals you want to achieve, you will notice others want a similar goal as you. Instead of worrying about them and trying to stop them from reaching their goals, work on yourself and do what you need to do to reach the top. Hurting someone and making them feel worthless will not make you a better person. When people do things to bring others down or intentionally try physically hurting them, is called bullying.

Even with the various attention to bullying, the problem still persists despite the school providing awareness, students are still afraid to say anything. Societal patterns today make bullying a difficult issue to eliminate. Starting in 2007, a total of 35 states made laws to go against bullying at school. These laws consisted of a clear definition of bullying, and how schools will be required to enforce uniform standards of conduct. The reason bullying comes as such an issue to me is because I actually know friends that have been suicidal and have caused themselves harm due to being bullied every day, in school and at home.
As a society, we often underestimate the damages that bullying cause on children, not just America but all over, and the ones who suffer are the victims themselves. Victims are damaged with the stigma that they are weak, yet somehow have to fend for themselves against something that they have little to no control over. Whether it is for funding, a reputation or any other reason schools sweep their bullying problem under the rug or turn a blind eye, however they have more potential to end this growing issue. To the schools that think bullying is not their problem, they should know that according to heyugly.org, an anti-bullying campaign, “Approximately, 160,000 children a day stay home from school in fear of being bullied.”They also point out
