For a lot of people, bullying is a big noticeably big issue.

People would also agree that


bullying should be stopped. But there are many ways to fight bullying. Many people, as well as I,
would agree that telling a trusted adult and taking their advice would be the best way to stop
bullying.
Way too often, adults and children get bullied daily. Constant bullying can cause mental
issues. One example of this is in the short story “Flushie”. Duncan is constantly getting bullied.
Duncan overreacts and lets it get to his head. Because he did not get the help that he needed, he
gathered his friends “Then ejected from the building through a huge, jagged hole in the side
of a pool” Duncan is a notable example of what could have happened, because he could
have gotten help, and if he did, he could have taken better care of his mental state and his
parents could have told a person in charge of the school. This would have had better results
if he told a trusted adult.
Sometimes, people do the right thing and tell a trusted adult that can guide you and
help you an example of this is in the story "The Rights to the Streets of Memphis” a story
about a boy that is facing hunger in his family because his dad rarely comes to visit, he sees how
cruel some people can be, he learns this by constantly getting beat up and stolen from. His mom
asked him “What’s the matter?” my mother asked. It is those same boys, I said “They will
beat me. “You’ve got to get over that,” she said. The reader can more fully appreciate the
boy's anguish by reading this quote. Additionally, it illustrates why sometimes it is best to
consult others before taking some action. This is attributable to my claim a good example of why
you should not act alone, his mom gave him recommendations he would never have considered.
This is an exceptionally good example of why you should not act alone.
Undoubtedly, telling an adult is the safest and best way to go, people like Duncan from
“Flushie” or the boy from “The Rights to the Streets of Memphis” have learned this the hard
way. Sadly, it is extremely hard to admit when such things are happening to consult to
somebody. It is hard to accept the fact that people we acknowledge can help us the most.
