When I was just starting middle school I was bullied everyday until I hit 8th grade.I was called names and was abused by other student I thought hurtjng myself would help it but I relized that wasn't the answer. So I told an adult and stood up to the bully they never bothered me again. And the reason that bullies are probably like that is that either they were bullied as kids or they have a hard life and that's the only was can release anger. The other problem is that teachers, other students, and parents don't help they think its just something they deserved or that they can handle it there selves. Its not always like that once your bullied its like no one cares and they feel like can't really do anything that the more the bully does the weaker they get that's why I want everyone to STAND UP AGAINST BULLYING AND HELP AND SPEAK UP TO THE KIDS GETTIN BULLIED.
