Timmy Bullying

Decent Essays
It is three o’clock on a friday afternoon and Timmy is going home and crying, but the real question is why. It is because Timmy was a victim of bullying. John the school bully beat him up and made Timmy feel worthless and really damaged his self esteem. The worst part about all of this is that Timmy didn’t tell anyone about his struggles because he is worried that he won’t be taken seriously if he does. This doesn’t mean that Timmy’s parents can’t learn the signs of each type of bullying and help Timmy out.
