Fighting For Bullied Child
Bullying is a common thing in the US and it isn't taken seriously because of that.
Sometimes we joke around or pick on kids at school and don't mean any harm, but we could really be hurting them. Bullying is a big issue in the United States. If your kid is being bullied it is really difficult as a parent to know what to do. In the article I read on CNN "Fighting for your bullied child" It said, "I would lay up with my husband at night and … just cry and say … what
if he decides he doesn’t want to be here anymore? I mean, at that point,
there was really only one more way to disengage. He was failing out of
school. He wasn’t involved with his family at all. He didn’t want to
have anything to do with his siblings. He didn’t have any friends,"
Libby said. This story turned into an award winning film, labled "Bully". It is really sad to see or hear about someone getting bullied and I think we don't do much about it when we see it happening at school or any where else. “They punch me in the jaw, strangle me. They knock things out of my
hand, take things from me, sit on me,” Alex said in the movie. “They
push me so far that I want to become the bully.” I don't understand how any one could ever do that to a kid. How would you go to sleep at night? Do you even feel bad? The film expressed that Alex was being bullied and when it was addressed to the school they didn't do anything about it. Thats not right and should not happen. Bullying is a bad thing and I don't see how being a bully could even be enjoyable.
