More than 160,000 student stay home from school because of bullying. I found this article at http://abcnews.go.com/2020/TheLaw/school-bullying-epidemic-turning-deadly/story?id=11880841. In 2010 at least 14 student committed suicide because of bullies. This story tears at my heart. I was bullied in school, but i never thought of suicide. Never thought of going to my school with a gun and going after the bullies.
This article talks about a young boy who was bullied throughout his school years. In his junior year of school he took his life. His parents had been to the school and talked with the administration about the bullies. Told that thee was nothing that could be done over and over. Think how you would feel to know that you couldn't help your child, that no one would try. I try to teach my own children that we never make fin of people because of anything. Do you ever catch yourself saying "did you see what she is wearing", or "wow he has got fat"? Now think how you would feel. After reading this article i realize how awful some kids have it now.
I think this article is very important, and glad i could find and read more about this awful epidemic. Hoping that we can do something about this. Bulling is one of the biggest thing in a child's life. I think that this reflects on a child for their entire life. this is something that we can help with. Children are cruel, i have seen lots of it while working with them. But why is that, is the parents or peers??? We as parents and fellow peers need to set better examples..
