The tragic death of Phoebe Prince shows what terrible things can happen, what bullying can cause or lead up to. If someone is being harassed that much to take their own life, bullies should be considered criminals. Bullies are breaking the law. They cause physical and emotional pain. More and more kids are getting involved in bullying, or joining in groups. What's worse is that these kids are bullying these innocent kids that they may not even know. Calling them names, hitting them, talking bad about them behind their backs, using the internet or text messages to be mean, or turning people away from that one particular person are all different forms of bullying. Can you see that? .
What does bullying really mean? There are many words to describe bullying, mean, quarrelsome, abusive, but no one really thinks about what it means or what they are doing to the kids they are bullying. These criminals should be charged with harassment or abuse. Murder could even be accounted for, considering they are the ones that caused the death of the person they bullied. All of these actions are illegal. Bullying should be more in forced to be illegal. It is a very serious situation as to where there's not just people thinking about killing themselves, but actually doing it. More people who get bullied are struggling with more emotional pain within themselves and their family, rather than physical pain. Bullies can have an impact on not only the kid they are bullying, but the kid's family too. No kid or family should have to suffer because of one person, or one stupid group of kids. .
Some kids are even to scared to speak up. From personal experience, I was also afraid to speak up. I cried every night, not knowing what to do. I saved the text messages from the person that bullied me, but didn't want to say anything, or show anyone because I thought I'd make it worse. People may have thought that I was the happiest person, but they didn't know what was really going on, and the pain I had felt.
