Bullying

This week has been a really sad week because a girl from Coquitlam killed herself because she was bullied online.  I think it's so not right.  It's not a good thing for people to bully other people.  It's disgusting.  People shouldn't act like that. 

It has affected people because people make fun of other people without even knowing the person.  It affects me because I was bullied in high school.  People called me "fat".  The bullies made fun of my friends, too, calling them names and picking on them.  Bullies can be any age, any race.  Bullies could be a boy, or a girl.  And there's so many different types of bullying - one of the articles I read talked about bullying through social media!

I don't like when people bully other people on Facebook, or Tweeter, or whatever.  Especially because I really like social media.  Social media is a good way to communicate with people and family that you don't see all the time.  It's a thing to look at when you're having a bad day and it would cheer you up...watching a movie, going on Facebook, listening to the radio...

Hopefully bullying will stop.  People need to respect other people. 

Vigil for Amanda Todd, a victim of bullying

Next week I'll be back and I'll talk about Glee.  Until then treat each other with respect.
