Bullying

It kills me to see how some people can be so rude and disrespectful. As many have heard, a girl by the name of Amanda Todd has passed away. This is because of a horrible thing called bullying. What is the point of bullying? To make yourself feel cool, or to make yourself feel better than someone else? To me, if you really have the guts to bully someone that badly, your a coward. No one deserves to be treated like that, no matter who you are.

As I have been on Facebook the past week or so, I have seen many groups for Amanda Todd. These groups consist of people who would love to help listen. This is amazing to see. Random people talking and listening to other people they don't even know get through a hard time in their life. Being there for them and helping them out. You see something amazing like this, then the other day, I wanted to search up the story of Amanda Todd. I saw her video on YouTube and wanted to cry. It was one of the most sad things I had ever seen. Seeing someone so hurt by someone else, absolutely torn apart. As I was scrolling through google, I saw many pictures of this poor girl that people edited with bleach and such. How can someone even think of doing that? These people think bullying is a joke. Someone that has edited a picture of this sort is a piece of shit and is clearly heartless. This girl has went through so much in her life. Even on Facebook I have seen some status' saying "oh it's her fault. Who cares". How could you even say something like that. Why don't you put yourself in her shoes and see how you feel? It killed me to see this. It broke my heart to see how horrible people treat each other

To be honest with you, I wish I had seen Amanda's video on youtube or even known her. I wish I could have been there to try and help her. I definitely would have listened to everything she had to say and I would have helped as much as I could. I hate to see people being hurt. No one deserves to be treated like this. I wish I could have tried to talk to her to make her realize how amazing she is and how she doesn't deserve this pain. No one deserves it. If there was just someone, anyone, there for her. Instead of being on the side of the bully. Being a bystander and not jumping in. Maybe this wouldn't have happened.

As I said before, I hate seeing people hurt. If anyone needs someone to talk to, don't be scared to come to me and talk. I would love to listen to everything you have to say.

For all the people that think bullying is "cool", think again. The only thing it is, is heartless. Take a second and think. Put yourself in that persons shoes and see how you feel getting bullied. Instead of being the bully, jump in and stop the bully. You may save a life.

Rest in peace Amanda Todd and many other victims of bullying. We love you and are here for you. Bullying will stop.
