Bullying. Everyone has either been bullied or has been a bully to someone else. To say the least, bully is mean, but it’s even worse when it comes from someone you love and trust. Before I tell you my situation where Mason and I were the bully, I want to let you know why I thought it was ok.
My dad would pick on me like any parent would do when I was younger. His reasoning behind it, “I’m only preparing you for the future, when you get older and have boys picking on you, you can tell ‘em you’ve heard worse.” This made me feel like it was ok to “pick on” someone.

By now two years have passed, two years of harshly bullying our own sister. She never broke, never cried, just let the parents try and stop it and eventually we did.
Now, in the present, we can easily joke about the good ‘ole bully days. I think Alice won’t let us forget that we did it. I actually think it brought Alice and I closer together.

Overall, you should think before you speak, don’t bully. Just because someone does it to you, that doesn't mean it’s right to do it to someone else. It hurts the most when it comes from family, that’s for
