Normally, when someone pushes you into a wall, it’s not that bad. Even when the shock is kind of violent; Nothing nothing particular comes from it besides making the aggressors laugh and the victim annoyed. However, this wasn’t a normal situation; I am not in a normal state. I could still feel the echoing of the impact in my ribcage. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe, and even though it was only for a few seconds, it felt like an eternity. I was begging for air to enter my lungs unsuccessfully, nothing would get through; then, suddenly, the pain from the first breath of fresh air ran through me. I bent over, gulping as much oxygen as I could while my aggressors walked away, laughing and leaving me there. I stayed put for a moment, trying to breathe normally, a task that felt way harder than it should’ve been. It was totally me, getting bullied by some strangers in a new school only after two weeks and a half. It definitely wasn’t looking good for me; already did I have to deal with all the problems linked to my injuries, what would happen if I had to get beaten every day? If it stayed that way, I’d never be able to heal... On top of that, I wasn’t really the problem, these guys decided that hanging out with Aloïs was a good excuse to beat me up. If I already started getting myself shoved in lockers only because I was hanging around Aloïs, what would it look like in a few weeks? What would it look like …show more content…
By some kind of miracle, I made it to my room without losing control, telling myself that I could pull myself together in the calm, without anyone to make it worse, alone. Yeah, that was a good plan... it was a good plan until I realized that I wasn’t, in fact, alone; Dominic was there. No, no, no, no, no! He’s NEVER there after classes! Why of all the days he could’ve been there it had to be today!? I’m about to have an attack, it’s not the right time, he
By the time I arrived at the hospital, I was in shock and I refused to believe the events that happened were true. I had cuts on my head and face that stung and my arms and legs were bleeding. I also had a severe concussion. The nurses combed every inch of my body and the doctors informed me that I had foreign drugs in my system. In that moment, I lost my confidence, dignity, and self-respect based on a crime that was carried out against me. My body used to represent me; however, now it terrifies me.
The sweat was dripping down my face as I pushed the weights off my chest. Everyone ran towards their bags after a student said there was a gun in school. Twitter was the first source that we checked just to make sure. Boom! The door slammed open as coach Ben yells “Hurry up and get out”. My heart started beating faster and faster. We didn’t know what was going on. As we were running to the gym everyone was panicking and pushing each other. I could feel the burn on my elbow but I didn’t know what it was. When we got to the gym my elbow was covered in blood. We were told to get down and stay quiet. Later on we were told a student brought a gun to school and was planning on committing suicide. That was one of many gun incidents at my high school.
Every single day there are kids out there that are being disrespected, hit and made fun of countless times a day. Unfortunately sometimes the child getting bullied takes their own life. Who is accountable for this? The person who was harassed and beaten daily, weekly and monthly. Or the person who decided to be the bully? Bullies should be accountable for their actions.

With all my strength my shoulder and his side made contact, I followed through with the charge and I grabbed his legs lifted him off of the ground and slammed him as hard as I could on the sidewalk. All I heard was wheezing and coughing, I had obviously knocked the air out of him. The adrenaline had worn off and all I could feel was an intense pounding, pain, it hurt and as I was thinking about it I looked at the ground and I saw Toby recovering from me tackling him, I started to run as fast as I could holding my side, I decided to run to the school instead of home because there maybe Jeffery could help keep him away from me, also I am pretty sure Toby knows where I

I walked away from that fight, or whatever you want to call it, with a few cuts and bruises, and a lot of pain, but nothing I couldn't deal with, physically. Mentally, however, they hurt me pretty bad. Every time I see the small scar on my wrist, or hear someone say that word, I cringe and feel like I'm getting beaten all over again.
Why do people bully? Some people bully because they are afraid. When people are afraid of something or someone, they decide to bully. People choose to bully, because they think it make them cool. They think if they bully people, others would want to be like them. They believe it would help them fit in with the people around. They think it would help them be like someone who everyone else look up too. They want their friends to see how bad they are or how bad they try to be. Bullies are not as bad as most people think they are. Some people bully only on small people. You don’t see to many bullies bullying on each other. Even bullies are afraid of each other. The bully think since they are bigger than another person, they have more power. Some people even bully others because they may be getting bullied somewhere else.

For high school students bullying and harassment can make a time of learning and new social interactions a nightmare. The possibility of being physically or verbally bullied at school,, a place where student should feel safe, is a growing peril. Unfortunately, bullying is nothing new in the United States. As well as the problem of avoiding being a victim of bullying at school, students can not escape this harsh scrutiny because of the rise of social media networks. Teenagers are being harassed on social media at alarming rates and a majority of school can do nothing about it. To understand the role social media has in the battle to prevent harassment and cyberbullying, it is essential that people identify the roles schools and students play in these situations.
Imagine driving down the road and a policeman pulls you over for speeding. Are you going to argue with him, even when you know that you were speeding? Chances are most people would answer “no” to this question because they understand what the consequences could entail. Similar to bullying, people find excuses to make someone’s life miserable, when most of the time the victim did nothing but live their life the way they thought was best. Like the police officer situation, bullies will always try to justify their actions even when they know they’re wrong. By common knowledge we all know that cyberbullying as well as bullying in general is wrong, but do we actually know the true definition, or effects of it? The lack of attention parents give
Bullying against teens is still happening even though there are various awareness programs to try to prevent it. I want to create awareness of bullying against teens of all religions, race, and sexual orientation. 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.
Problems usually have solutions. Solutions could be extremely easy to find, or the process of finding one could be problematic. One worldly issue that does not have a solution yet is bullying. Bullying is present in schools world-wide, and it has been this way since there have been schools. This horrible act is accepted as part of life. People are used to bullying, that it almost seems normal. This should not be the case. Bullying is a horrific act that needs to be stopped, but is that possible? Three specific ways people have proposed to stop bullying is to criminalize bully in an attempt to deter any further bullying, to assign bullies student mentors in order to have someone guide them, or to force school or parental figures to be more active in trying to prevent bullying. Each of these methods has its advantages and disadvantages, but which is the best method to effectively stop bullying?
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
