Bullying
Why are kids so mean to other? I don’t think I 'll ever understand why kids need to be so mean to other. I never had a problem in class with other kids but I know a lot of kids that did and were hurt from it in serious ways. Bullying is nothing to play with one because kids can take bullying to wanting to kill themselves and two no kids should have to go through bullying at all. Bullying had change people live in so many ways that no one can understand unless you have been in their shoes. For kids in elementary and middle school my one way to help is get a bunch of kids that have been bullying in school and everyone get a sticky note and write on them saying something that helped you to ease the pain and hand it to them then maybe they will see that what they are doing isn 't working and they need to stop it before someone get hurts or something bad happens and they feel bad about it for a lifetime. My second way is if you in middle school get some friends and get some sticky note or whatever you have around you or can find and write positive word on the and put them up in the school.

He did everything he could to leave a smile on everyone’s face, and he earned the nickname, “Cheeks,” because of his huge, friendly smile. No one understood why such a cheerful person would want to take his own life, but it was because bullies harassed him for months, and no one knew.

I’m going to add that the bully did this because he was largely disliked because of his unpleasant personality, also he wanted the book bag because he comes from a poor, unloving family who did not have the financial means to purchase a book bag. With this information added it allows clarity when assigning sociological perspectives to the teacher, and the principal. The teacher would be approaching this situation from a structural functionalist perspective, while the principal is approaching the situation with a social conflict perspective. They both have unique experiences that have brought them to these perspectives, neither of them are wrong because their past interactions became the foundation of their personal belief system.
