Bullying: A call to action

It’s wrong. Plain wrong. Now when I’ve started off by saying that I can get started.

Have you been bullied?

Yes, you have. I’m almost 100 % sure that anyone reading this, will answer yes to that question. My logic says that basically EVERYONE has been bullied (Yes, everyone). At least that’s my theory...

Everybody have tried being bullied, maybe just once or twice, for some every single day. It’s not okay (I can’t point that out enough!). If you have just been bullied once, it only hurts for a moment. IF you are a bully (even if you’re not) I want you to think carefully of a moment where someone made you feel that way! And you need to think of that every single time you are thinking of letting a snide comment pass one of your fellow students (or coworkers). if people do that i bet we can put down bullying by at least 10 %. 10 %! That’s a lot more happy people in the world, don’t you think?

Cause not helping is too mainstream

So, we all know what it’s like. That’s fine. Now we’ve got common interests! To stop it! Yes, just like we all know how it feels to be the bullied, we (of course) also know how it feels to WATCH the bullied (maybe even ‘going with the flow’ and taking the bully’s side), and NOT do anything. That’s just as wrong as being the bully! You have just as big a responsibility, being the crowd laughing than the bully bullying. Typically there’s not much i can do to help the bullied (mostly because it’s often me), but if I see an entire group of people laughing and pointing, I would try and help that person in middle, not just ignore it and laugh with the others.
