We'll start off with that song. I suggest watching the video.
Last week, there was a Bullying campaign at my school. Children and teens across the world are being treated differently, as if they're lesser, as if they're insignificant pieces of crap. As if they are freak of nature.
Well, I feel that needs to be stopped. Everybody does. The fact that people are hurting themselves.
Cutting. Suicide. Any form of self-harm. The largest cause of this is bullying. Why do people do this?
Don't people understand that words hurt? Don't people understand words kill? Don't people understand that lifestyles aren't sin? That mutations and deformities don't make you a freak? That if a child is bullied, that is verbal assault. That is attempted murder.
But it isn't just the bullies. It's us. It's everybody that didn't help until it was either too late, or didn't help at all. It's us. The people who didn't listen when the people tried to speak out. It's us. The people who are afraid to help because their peers would bully them.
So the biggest question here, is why don't we act? Why do we still ignore it. These people, they're calling for help, but we aren't listening.
Stop bullying, everybody. If somebody is bullied, stop the bully. Tell an adult, or interfere. If you're being bullied, please tell somebody, and make us listen.
This is a serious problem, and it needs to be stopped soon.
For those who it is too late, rest in peace.
A search on google for "suicide from bullying" yields millions of results. I want that number to go down.
For every suicide among young people, there are at least 100 suicide attempts. Over 14 percent of high school students have considered suicide, and almost 7 percent have attempted it. I want these percentages to not exist. I want there to be no suicide attempts.
