Thoughts: on bullying

I think bullying is cruel and there should be a punishment. People shouldn't be putting other people down. It shows that the person doing the bullying is insecure about themselves. Bullying is the cause of many youth committing suicide or committing crimes.

I was bullied from Pre-K to 6th grade. It drove me crazy. I hated being bullied. I hated the people who bullied me. I had few or no friends. I got into fights. I was always kicked out of class. I was called the bully when it was the other person who was bullying me. No one understood me. I got made fun of by my sisters when I went home and was made fun of by my classmates at school. I learned that people took my kindness for granted. So I learned to not be sharing my friendship with those who didn't earn it. But today, I thank God for all he put me through because it made me the person I am today.
