Below are our responses to questions about bullying
1. Have you experienced bullying?
E.W: Yes I have experienced bullying before. One time, this boy bullied
me because I wouldn't let him cut in front of me in the lunch line, so he repeatedly
kept calling me names and pushed me when I was going out to the school yard. I
finally stood up for myself and said “no more will you bully me, I've put up
with it for too long now.” I also told my mother and she told the principal
that it needed to end NOW!
A.P: I have seen someone getting bullied before but it has never happened to me.

family members that give you put-downs, and even strangers that you may see
around, or anyone else.
A.P: One type of bullying is using force to hurt someone. Another is using words to hurt someone’s feelings.

3. What do you think about bullying and why do you think people bully?
E.W: They might be going through something very hard like a tough time
with their family, but you never may know so you can’t always blame them for doing
something wrong, like bullying.
A.P: I think bullying and abusing someone is not a way to solve for what others may have done. If I would see someone getting bullied, I would tell a teacher what was going on.

Bullying can be very harmful, and if pushed to a point, can be something that
can make a person harm themselves, or even commit suicide. Like Amanda Todd, who was bullied because of a private picture
she sent to a man, and he sent the picture to everyone’s phone at her school. She
was only in the seventh grade. She lost respect from her friends, got jumped
after school, and had to sit at the lunch table alone. She was in grade 10 when
she committed suicide, after more bullying on the internet and at school. Please,
let’s take 1 minute of silence for her and others who have ended their life, and who are being bullied.
