Raiders Don't Bully
By Vianney Casas
Bullying? Homicide.
“Nine teens, including three juveniles, have been charged in connection with the death of a 15-year-old Massachusetts girls who committed suicide after weeks of bullying on Facebook and at her high school.” “Seth Walsh, a California teen spent the better part of the last 10 days on life support after attempting suicide over relentless bullying because he was gay.” “Jon Carmichael took his own life Sunday after what some say was bullying by bigger classmates.”
“In the US, a person convicted of murder is typically given a life sentence or even the death penalty for such an act.”
Bullies are nothing but murderers. The coldest, heartless way to murder someone slowly, breaking their heart in the process, causing a mix of the worst feelings is killing someone with words, words coming out of our mouths like rattlesnakes. For the heartless bullies out there: Do you not realize all you’re causing? Can’t you see it in the person's face? The pain, the heartbreak your nasty offending words are causing ? What if someone else teated you the same way? Now, let's see how that feels.
Why do people bully? Is it pure boredom, no life, nothing better to do? Is it ignorance, feeling like you’re God to judge others and superior enough to put people down,feeling like they’re in Hell? Is it that you're so mad at the world, so insecure about yourself, that you have to take it out on someone else? Someone that didn’t do a thing to you and yet you kill them. Wait, I think I know the answer. Maybe you just like ending people’s lives. Destroying a family, the future they had ahead. Maybe you like knowing they will never accomplish what they had planned, have a family, live a life like the one you’ll keep living and should’ve spent in jail for the damaged done.
Why can’t people accept others the way they are. There’s racism, making fun of homosexuals, or just simply the talking about someone because of the way they dress, they think, they speak, they act. But how about you? Do you for some reason think you’re perfect? Do you feel like you have a right to make people feel like they’re the worst thing in the world. Do you think you have the right to destroy their lives? Keep laughing. Do you think it's funny how someone committed suicide because of you, how a family is breaking down in tears because of you? Save them a little pain, the sleepless nights, the fear to present themselves to the world, the thoughts, the humiliation. Why don’t you save them all you cause. I suggest you think before you speak. Just think, get in that person’s shoes for just a minute. Let's see if those words come out, lets see if you can laugh.
Anti-Bullying laws are being enforced where the schools can expel the person bullying and the authorities might take care of it. I say give them life sentence. After all what they do is kill an innocent individual with a heart.
And for those out there that are being bullied: Don't worry, everything will be OK. Don’t be afraid to speak up. You’re amazing just the way you are. There are plenty people out there that love you for who you are. Believe me. You’re worth way more than those who hurt others.
