Sabir Warsame Mrs. Riddell ENG 3U-22 August 3 , 2017 Sabir Warsame Its proven that Bullies love an audience. I witnessed a lot of people getting bullied during middle school I wasn't one to get involved but I would quickly advise an adult, peer , or even my family about this. Bullying is a horrible thing you should stand up against bullying when you see it occur . Be come someone's hero, t oday I will be speaking about my experience during seventh grade in middle school. There was a guy who loved to push people and slap them while they weren't looking and his group of friends would just laugh and support his act, it wasn't until he slapped this kid who I would usually play basketball with, and this kid had a hearing aid and was a great kid to be around he had a great vibe. I didn't want to be like the rest and just walk away or just laugh at point fingers so I slapped the bully and said 'how does this feel jerk'', and the bully's friends made a huge situation about it and told the bully to fight me , then the bully attacked me and surprisingly the kid who got slapped put the bully in some sort of mixed martial art move and shocked all of us. The bully had apologized to me and the kid he slapped and we all laughed about it at the end and talked it out. For the rest of the school year this bully I can now call my friend stopped bullying people, it was a lesson to learn really. I felt like the role I played in this situation could have been handled much better instead of slapping the bully who was twice my size. I should have let an adult in the building know and it could have been handled in a much better way. Bullying is a horrible thing that needs to stop'' Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people, resulting in about 4,400 deaths per year, according to the CDC. For every suicide among young people, there are at least 100 suicide attempts. Over 14 percent of high school students have considered suicide, and almost 7 percent have attempted it''. Remember to always Be an active bystander and help to stop bullying. Use your power to let oth ers know that bullying is not ok .
