Definition Essay: It's Time To Stop Bullying

Decent Essays
What is bullying? Why does it happen? Can you stop bullying? Bullying has tons of definitions, but I would describe bullying as one word which is harassment. Many people take bullying very lightly because they believe it as a joke that will stop. However, they’re wrong, they haven’t experience what it’s like to be bullied. It’s a serious problem, being picked on everyday, giving up your lunch money, and being teased on from what you look like. It’s self degrading and it’s embarrassing to be make fun off. This is why people make their own persona, to fit into the crowd and bury their faces behind their mask to hide who they’re really are. You are basically dead for not living who you are because you are just pretending to be someone you’re not. …show more content…
The mask represents different kinds of personality, and the faceless kid represents the lost of identity oneself. Everyday, you’re forced to wear a mask that society won’t care or society will like. This define yourself as a lost identity because you are not living up from who you want to be. It pains me seeing a person trying to force a smile even though they’re emotionally hurt inside. This makes me think that life is so cruel and it’s unfortunate that only some people get to live who they want to be. It’s unfair. So, I drew this picture to show other people, how a person can live in a society without being noticed because they truly had lost their identity from what they have

    “We understand how dangerous a mask can be. We all become what we pretend to be,” (Patrick Rothfuss).

    Why is bullying wrong, when it feels great to feel superior to someone, to feel like you have a little servant. The real question is why do you need to have that feeling inside of you, do you not get enough attention at home, do you feel like your parents don 't care or pay as much attention to you as you wish do you want to feel what being a bully feels like, do you really want to make someone 's life so miserable that they hate you so much that they can attempt to kill themselves or even to kill you? I have previously bullied and I can say it 's not worth it. In the long run, it doesn 't matter if you feel superior if you feel popular or if people look up to you, because as time passes you realize the deep damage you have done. The fact that, that person dropped her self-esteem so low that she had no friends and started wearing all black and her hair in her face because she wanted nobody to see her, because her self-esteem was so low, and she had to wear tons of bracelets because she wanted nobody to see how much she 's cut herself.…
