Bullying is commonly defined as a type of behavior where a person repeatedly intends to cause harm to a person both physically and emotionally (“Bullying at school,” 2016). Usually such behavior is aimed at certain groups who may be different due to their religion, race and gender. Most researchers estimate that between 14 and 20% of students in schools will experience bullying at least once during their academic career. Indeed, according to the NSPCC of the United Kingdom, there were about…

You think you know a guy, and then he pulls some shit and all of a sudden, it 's like he 's not the same person anymore. And damn, does it freak you out. It 's enough to keep you awake late at night, your covers pulled over you and darkening your vision, acting like a barrier to anything that could harm you. You don 't talk about it in the morning, though. And who would you talk to, anyway? What would you say? Besides, by then, none of it even happened. As far as anyone else knows, anyway. See,…

just going to be me and you, so I don’t know who is going to cook because I sure can’t.” My dad always is the one to cook in our family. It may seem like a reverse role, but that’s the way it has always been. Hazel not being able to cook makes me snicker because that just like my mom. Hazel and my mom are similar in many ways I’ve realized. Of course, my mom is irreplaceable, but I am becoming more fond of Hazel and really starting to respect her. A lot of people would not make an effort like…

In a dark forest, where trees lay waste and the land was ridden with darkness, there lies a castle with shattered windows and a dreary look. Black streaks ran down its bricks giving it a desolate look and ridden with a sense of malevolence. The castle rests on the precipice of a cliffside. The cliff was an insurance of death due to the long fall. At the bottom beheld jagged rocks and the thunderous sound of waves crashing against the side of the cliff. The water was black and rapid with movement…

Twenty-five minutes later, I arrive at my home the cab parks in the driveway of my house. “Welcome home, maim. Thanks for choosing Yellow Cab,” He says, boastfully. “Oh yes, I enjoyed being choked to death by the goddamn air freshener, asshole.” I leave the cab, taking my bag and the cab drives off. He doesn’t say anything he just stares at me in disbelief. I sit my bag on the driveway and look around my neighborhood that’s illuminated by street lights. I stretch both my arms out all the…

That Day Okay, I’m going to be straight with you. High school sucks. I guess for some people high school is a time of happiness and homecoming hookups, gossiping with friends at the lunch table, or deciding whether to buy a cookie or fries because there’s nothing more important to worry about. But those people are ridiculous. For the rest of us, though, high school is the most stressful time of our lives: braces, B’s, b*****s, and boyfriends (HA!). The “B” that affected me most of all,…

School administrators suck. When they informed me their system glitched and I was signed up for the wrong type of Anatomy class, I handled it rather well. When they told me that I couldn't switch and that I and I quote, 'will have to suck it up and deal with it,' I thought, I handled it just as well. Only if you count that the head of baby Cupid in front of the main building would be kicked into the parking lot and knocking a freshmen out cold, handling it well. I felt really guilty that,…

I have seen many strange countries in my travels, but never one so strange as this. Waking up with a pounding headache and messy thick black hair, and seeing women on broom sticks riding through the air was one of those strange things. Of course, I got up and questioned this, and I looked up at the women, who seemed to look like witches, but they were not ugly or horrible to look at, but instead they are beautiful young women with no mole or green splotch to be seen. Some had lovely long hair…

could rush at Tazuna and his dismissal. "Idiot. Don't attack your client." "No! No! let me at least hit him once!" He insisted, but sent the old bridge builder a glower before he settled down. Kakashi began talking loudly to be heard over Riko's snickers. "Now, now. Should we go?" They continued walking along the path. By now, even Naruto's excited chatter had dulled down into silence. The redhead was snapped out of her own thoughts when Riko tapped her shoulder. 'The puddle.' Riko…

Laws on Bullying in Schools Do the laws on bullying really prevent this abuse? Bullying has an extremely negative effect on each victim’s life. Those who are continuously bullied can be pushed into violence and against themselves or others. Sometimes a victim can be pushed to the point of hurting themselves or even hurting the ones by whom he/she are bullied by. Although there are State laws and policies against bullying in Oklahoma, these laws are not proving to be affective nor are they…
