Bullying

In class, we have discussed many situations where the reuslt of bullying has been tragic. Many individuals take their lives in order to escape the bullying. Personally, Ibelieve there are many other options that could have been taken besides suicide because i believe that nothing in life can be that bad where you need to end it. Everyone goes through different situations and the ones that can survive them are truly strong. One case that stuck out to me was the movie we watched where the kid was bullied for being a homosexual. He endured numerous beatings and was made fun of a lot during school. He was so scared that he was afraid to walk in the halls or even walk home after school. He felt that his life was in danger and instead of escaping the problems by ending his life he survived through them and found other ways to cope with the abuse. In regards to DHS, Ibelieve that bullying does exist but it is nothing compared to the stories that we heard in class. Occasionally, there are some individuals who attract bullying to them by acting a certain way and because people do no tlike them. I have never heard of anything physically being done to a student but there is some minor verbal abuse that takes place. Deerfield is a very welcoming environment and people are taught to be accepting and caring of others at a young age. When an idea is puched opon kids they tend to believe it and believe in it. If schools, parents, or any other figure that has power over the minds of children should teach them to be kind to others and to never bully anyone because nobody deserves to be bullied.
