Bullying.

Life is not fair. Get over it!
Some people are born stronger, smarter and better. Some aren't. Some are privileged from birth to live in a stable family environment where money is not an object. Some, are subjected to abuse from a young age. The harsh reality is life can suck, and sometimes we can't do much to fix it. Emily Goldin, was a child who was subjected to pain and victimized almost her entire youth. Her coping mechanism to this was to get away as fast as possible. Upon reading Emily's blog i realized that she runs away from her problems, she never tackles them head on.

“I have learned how to cry silently in a bathroom, and how to run really fast.” These are some sad words, but many teens are targeted by bullies. These leads us to wonder, why do bullies feel the need to victimize others? A majority of people bully due to their mental state. They either have some problem in their way of thinking or mindset, or have some social insecurity.

I'm glad that many school boards are taking a stand against bullying and fighting along side the victims so everyone feels safe and secure at a public sanction.

  1. I found your article to be quite realistic Nargis. I also like how you went to find out information on Emily Goldin besides that which was given to us in class. Your journal was very short and to the point. And I also feel glad that schools are attempting to help victims of bullying today.
