Stop Bullying (#1)

A few days ago we had a guest speaker, Josh Gunderson. He talked about many important things, although, one thing really spoke to me, bulling. He told us about these teenagers that had taken their own life because of bullying. When he told us the story about a girl who had taken her own because some popular girl had gotten mad over a guy. This girl was a new student; one of the popular guys asked her out, that’s when the bullying began. The group of popular girls did nothing but bully her. One day after school the young lady went home and ended her life, because of bullying.
           
Things like this happen more often than they should. We are now reading a book called Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson. In this book there is a “nerd boy” who doesn’t feel good about himself and is always talking about death. In this book he deals with people blaming him for posting inappropriate pictures to this website. Since Tyler has had trouble in the past all fingers are pointed to him. I believe this is not right. I believe if there is evidence that tells he didn’t do it, until they get evidence he did do it, they can’t blame him.
