High School Bullying
“When people hurt you
over and over, think of them like sand paper. They may scratch and hurt you a
bit, but in the end, you end up polished and they end up useless.”
I have recently read about High
School bullying and one of the stories was about Robert Wayne Gladden, a
student at Perry Hall High School. This student and a friend came to school
with guns and shot the bullies that were bullying them and I found it shocking
that bullying is not taken seriously in schools. Another story I read was about
how PSA are trying to bring awareness to High School bullying. I hope that
people will see these PSAs and realize that bullying causes more mental damage
then physical damage. Another article I read was about a report of ongoing bullying
at Enumclaw High School and how the staff is having meetings about the
incident.
“Could a scar be like
the rings of a tree, reopened with each emotional season?”
One of the biggest stories about
bullying that I have read was about Jamrey Rodemeyer, a student at a Buffalo
High School and committed suicide because of bullying. Jamrey was at the focus
of homophobic remarks from bullies at his school because of his sexual
orientation. Lady Gaga stood up against bullying after she heard about this story and heard
that the boy was a fan of her and her music. Many more celebrities should stand up and help the fight and have the bullying problem brought to the public. People should also realize that this is not a one time occurring problem and that it happens everyday to many more children and young people.
“Life is a fight, but
not everyone’s a fighter. Otherwise, bullies would be an endangered species.”
Bishop Kearney High School has a very strict policy about bullying, intimation,
harassing, hazing, name calling, verbal and or physical confrontations. These
altercations will receive disciplinary action including suspension and or
expulsion from the school. I think more schools should have this policy to stop
bullying in schools.
