The reason I chose this article is because I was shocked at the title. It is sad to hear about a nice, pretty young girl doing such thing because of what others did to her.
Bullying is a severe problem in our society. The victims are most of the time young children or teenagers, and it happens usually at school. I've always wonder, why bully other people when we can all be friends?
Personally, I've never been bullied or seen anyone being bullied. I'm glad that I spent most of my schooling in a nice and friendly environment. But after reading the article, I realised that bullying can be in many forms. A person being bullied doesn't have to be face-to-face with the bully. Although it can be physical, it can also be verbal, social and even through the internet (it is called cyberbullying).
Did you ever experience being bullied? What can we do to prevent this problem from getting worse?
I hope you can share your opinions here! :)

But decrease the amount of bullied people as much as possible.
Hi Jasmeen,
ReplyDeleteI haven't been bullied and bullied, so I don't know their feeling. But I can't think that leaving this problem is good.
First, we should recognize each other. We must start from it!
@JohnnyDC yea, stopping it altogether is very hard work, but at least this problem must be decreased little by little.
ReplyDelete@Yoshiyuki It's hard to understand how they feel, but you were right, we need to be nice to one another!
