Bullying has been a problem for years and years now, but until the past couple years most of it has gone unnoticed. Victims of bulling have been coming out with their stories in hope of change. There have been kids that have appeared on talk shows, wrote about their experiences in magazines, and even posted videos on YouTube. The kid that appears in this video shows his emotions and story to his audience by flashcards. Each flashcard tells a part of the story, he started being bullied in first grade. When he posted the video, he was going into eighth grade. At this point in his life he had already cut himself multiple times and suicide was always an option to him. Videos like this can really hit home for some people, i know i did for me. hearing peoples stories like this really has an impact on me along with many others I'm sure. Bullying is an issue that we all as a whole need to work together to eliminate. Bullying has gone too far, it has a lot peoples lives, and ended too many.

This is the saddest thing I've ever seen in my life.
ReplyDeleteI bawled my eyes out when I saw this.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad, but so true that too many kids are taking their lives because of the extent bullying can go to.
ReplyDeleteI am currently working on a cyber bullying piece for the newspaper and you will all see my cyber bullying survey in the coming week. I agree that bullying has gone way too far and it has lasting effects on people.
