A concern that I have that is a very importance to me is bullying.

Why this such a concern for

me is because I was once bullied. To see that bullying comes in all different forms to hurts to

see that other people don’t see what they are doing to people. Bullying is the most common

reason why kids are committing suicide. Also kids are struggling and they don’t have no one to

talk to about their situations. Most kids can go to their parents or an adult but some of them

can’t or they feel like they can not trust any one or they feel like they are going to be judge on

their problems/ situations. I take bullying personally because I have been bullied and I was very

depressed about the situation and I felt like that I couldn’t talk to my momma about it, until she

notice that i wasn’t my usual self. So my mom took me to the doctor and they told me that I was

depressed and gave me medication for it. Another reason why it is also a big deal for me is

because my 11 year old sister is getting bullied at her school. Hearing my sister call me after

school telling that her so called “friends” are hurting her feeling hurts my heart because I can not

do nothing to help her, the only thing I can do is be there for her and tell her that it’s going to get

better. I think that teacher and guidance counselors should put more of an effort into the kids

because you do not know what they are going through. I also think that we should show more

affection to them to let them know that it is okay for them to come to them about their situation

and talk the them about it.
