Stop Bullying

In the article I just read a little boy was a bully. He liked to bully anyone and everyone. He didn’t care who they were. He acted as if he had never felt bad for bullying all those kids. Some of the children’s parents would call the school so they could have their kid moved away from him or they would report what he did to their kids. He didn’t really care that these kids felt like that. It didn’t matter to him. He liked bullying and he wanted to keep doing it.

I think it was a really good thing that he got a “taste” of what it felt like for someone to make fun of you and call you names. It wasn’t good kids were bullying people, but if they wouldn’t have mocked him he would probably still be a bully to this day. I think children should never be bullied and we, as children and teenagers, should stop it. This bullying experience didn’t lead to death or attempted suicide but there are kids all over this world who are about to take their life because they are tired of getting bullied. There are a lot of kids and teens have already taken their life because of bullying. This is an awful thing. No one should feel that bad they have to kill themselves or even attempt suicide.

How do you feel about bullying?

This is the article I read.

Change

In this novel, the conflict causes the main character to change. In this book Tyler changes a lot, from start to finish. At the beginning of this book he is very unhappy. He has one friend. People are always making fun of him, calling him names, pushing him in the halls, laughing at him, beating him up and no one tries to be his friend or even help besides Yoda. Tyler always talked about death and suicide. “Before we left, I found one of the doctors who had helped me and quietly asked him to slit my throat.” (Anderson 20) He began to change when his mother made him go to Bethany’s house to apologize and give her cake. “You made a sucking up cake?” (Anderson 31)

Closer to the end of the book Tyler still wasn’t good, actually he was worse. He had almost committed suicide. “I licked the barrel and closed my eyes.” (Anderson 211) Tyler had actually almost killed himself. He had been through a lot. From the Millbury’s, school, home, friends, the police, and something he didn’t do, there was a lot going on. By the end of the book he was not a suspect anymore and went back to classes and everything was starting to be okay. Tyler and his dad ate breakfast alone and together. They had a father son bonding moment. “I put my arms around him.” (Anderson 248)
