bullies

We watched Jeremy by Pearl Jam in English class. It made me hate bullies even more.

I honestly think some people are just mean, but for the most part, they are just insecure. They need to be right, they need to be dominant and strong. Sometimes those traits are useful and helpful, but there can be negative effects.

Bullies can take the form of many things. They can be violent, or verbal. Honestly, verbal abuse is always worse. Sticks and Stones hurt, but frankly: words hurt a lot. Especially when you don't expect them. Sometimes people don't realize their actions, and don't want to hear criticism from people who they think don't have a legitimate viewpoint. It's frustrating, knowing there is little you can do to change those people's minds. THEY ARE SO STUBBORN.

People who are just mean don't deserve the attention they get, and frankly, should be punished for it. (Although catching that kind of stuff would be ridiculous). If that kind of abuse goes to the point of someone's life ending, that, to me, is enough to make a person feel guilty for the rest of their life. To have that on a conscience would be devastating, and not only force someone to reevaluate their life, but their choices, their friends...etc. I wouldn't even know how to handle knowing I was responsible for someone else's death. Maybe not directly responsible, but the source of all the frustration: to the point where someone feels their life isn't worth living....

Freaky stuff. Horrible stuff.

People should not live in ignorance. That video should not be banned, the lesson within it is too important, and people need to hear it.
