Bullying part 3

I know many people may read this and say, bullying really? What more is there to say about bullying? What haven't we heard about that growing up, especially in todays society? If you turn on the news you can hear stories about someone being bullied all the time. So what are the effects of bullying to someone? What will happen to them in the future? Well let's find out..

Bullying has many effects on different people, and can depend on your personality and whether you have real friends and even how your home life is. There will be those people who are bullied and when they get to college will have found what they are meant to do and be, and not worry about what other people called them when they were in 5th grade, but this isn't what happens to everyone. For example, imagine that there is a student who is now in highschool, they have been bullied nonstop every year since at least 5th grade. Their home life is horrible, their parents treat them just as badly as those people at school do, what do you think will happen to them? Well they will either toughen up and harden themselves from being able to be hurt or they could get extremely depressed because they feel as if they have no one. That feeling of loneliness has a huge impact on a person's life. They could start to believe what everyone tells them and even start to do worse at things like classes or not perform well, they become self-fulfilling prophecies. However, again this is not the only outcome, some cases do lead to suicide.

Yes I went there suicide, a topic I have heard many people talk about in ways that I am shocked beyond belief by. People look at those who have killed themselves or try to hurt themselves and say there must be something wrong with them, they have to be crazy, why would you ever do such a thing? Then they continue to ridicule them as if they up and did this for no reason. This appauls me that no one sits down and thinks to themselves, you know I wonder why they did that? I wonder what the breaking point was? No one tries to say, "Hey maybe they aren't crazy, maybe they just had a lot going on in their lives, you shouldn't judge them because they did that." So many people not just teens die from suicide because of what someone else has said to them. Due to abuse they have received and isn't that what bullying is? Abuse? So many people do not link those two words together but even when a parent abuses their children that is still bullying. Even when two adults bash each other based on something that is bullying!
People assume that this word has one finite definition, a definition that people are excluded from when they reach a specific age, and a definition that is limited to only being two children or two teenagers involved. I am sorry but that is NOT the definition of that word, and we make judgements about that word without even thinking about what it does to someone.

Bullying doesn't just effect the person you hurt with your words or actions, it effects everyone in their life that they communicate with, that they live with, and that they are around on  weeky to daily basis. People forget that as humans we have feelings and that feelings DO matter, that what we do to others makes a big deal and should be watched.
