Hey! What was that for? This guy is just ruining all my work on the traffic cones to protect the kids from bumping into each other, and this random guy just ruined it. This guy keeps annoying me just because I’m a kid. This reminds me of two books named “William’s Doll” and “Oliver Button Is a Sissy”. The story is sort of the situation I’m in.

He wants one that can blink its eyes and have pretty eyelashes on the eyes. The boy next door and his brother don’t like the things William want, they call him a sissy and a creep. They are acting mean just because of a dumb doll. Also they keep annoying William just because he doesn’t act like them. This is very mean. Many people bully others just because of their opinions and personalities. This is like the kid who was ruining my work. Another example is that even though William’s dad knows that William wants a doll he still buys other toys for William to play with. He wants William to play boy stuff/toys than to play girl stuff/toys. His dad buys toys like electric trains, basketballs, and other stuff they consider boy toys. This makes William very depressed because of his family and neighbor. One day William’s grandma came over to William’s house. Once she came over, William showed her the electrical trains and the basketballs, but he really wanted a doll instead. He told his grandma he wanted on with curly eyelashes, eyes that can blink, and could cuddle and sleep with it. His grandma knew right what to do. She went to the store and bought a doll for William. The doll looks exactly what William wanted. This makes William elated again. This is also why bullying is a very bad thing to

    As said by Zack W. Van, “ Bullying builds character like nuclear waste creates superheroes. It’s a rare occurrence and often does much more damage than endowment.” Acts of verbal and physical abuse can be seen in Bully by Lee Hirsch and Mean Girls by Mark Waters. Bully depicts the stories of individual children dealing with different types of harassment at their schools and Mean Girls showcases fictional examples of bullying going on between people all around high school, especially with the teenage girls. Tropes are always reoccurring in medias almost like a stereotypical element; these films clearly show the classic depiction of a person being bullied to the breaking point, and what happens to the bullies who have caused it.…

    Brent really describes the perspective that we all miss. When we bully people just because of their appearances we do not take into consideration their feelings at all. People tend to get bullied for many different reasons, their shape, size, skin color, language, and for artificial things like clothes. The problem with the way we handle things and people we don 't like, is we all have something that we don 't like about ourselves. To judge someone just because he is many feet behind you on a street in New York, because he is black is absolutely unbelievable.…

Bullies will target their victims because they are smarter, or because the bully feels threatened by the others who are smarter.

Because it obviously isn’t a nice thing to do by harming people since there is a problem in your life. Because of people bullying others, some kids go to school every day and have the fear of getting picked on and called names.…

    The act of bullying or harassing another is interpreted as the habitual nature of a person with unkind intentions leading to impulsive cruelty to those “who are weaker” (merriam-webster definition of bullying). Inside the melting pot that is American culture we see a thick mixture of identities including race, minorities, genders, religions, health, wealth, poverty, and even education. All of these factors essentially influence each of us into the becoming of who we are in our individual futures, and, continuously change our thought processes which contain the ideas we have today. In this enlightened era of, for example, lenient gender roles, the culture has vastly shifted. If we think back to when races and genders were predominantly separate…
