Personal Narrative: Gym Class Bully
"Enough is enough", that's what I said to the gym class bully. I had to make a choice was I going to sit around and watch or was I going to stand up for someone else who was too weak to stand up for themselves. I remember the bully name was Marco Summers. Today was the day I would put an end to bullying. Later on in the day, I was heading to P.E. I remember it was a Thursday but we had to run the track on Thursdays. I wasn't looking forward to it but I hate running; I was hoping it would rain or that there was a fire drill. Every time I would go running the sweat would get in my eyes and burn really badly. Once the tardy bell rang I began to change into my gym clothes, I tried to prolong this process much as I can. When I was done getting

    ‘Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me,’ a common response to verbal bullying on the school playground. If only standing up to bullying was that simple. Bullying is unwanted hostility from an antagonist who perceives him or herself to have more power over the victim. Bullying can take the form of name-calling, spreading rumors, threatening someone, or even physical abuse. Unfortunately bullying happens everywhere: at school, on the bus, over the Internet, over text. The ramifications of bullying are immensely destructive to the youth of the world. Lee Hirsch created the film Bully to display the harmful effects of bullying and to call everyone to action in stomping out bullying. Lee Hirsch’s exhibition of the three rhetorical appeals, pathos, logos, and ethos, in his film Bully, spawns the assertion that the bullying epidemic can be prevented and needs to be eliminated.…

    Columbine, Sandy Hook, Phoebe Prince are names that embody modern-day issues school administrators face and are trying to address. Because of the public outcry and publicity surrounding these events, educators are scrambling for and implementing programs that moderate mental health issues, reduce bullying, and improve academic outcomes. However, these programs are prone to failure because they do not take a holistic approach to the cause of these difficulties. As an alternative, traditional martial arts training can be an efficient and proactive tool to address the origin of these problems. Contrary to movie portrayals in which martial artists are sometimes depicted as violent, aggressive criminals; traditional martial artists base their training…

    Bullying is not an action we wish to see or experience. Girl-to-girl bullying is not wished upon as well, especially when you are apart of it. Since the beginning of my school education I seemed to become a magnet of bullies. In elementary school, I tried to be helpful towards others. I assisted with homework, cleaned up after activities, and I even did most of the work in group projects because the other kids groaned and complained about it. Unfortunately, due to my acts of being helpful I was called, "dog" by the girls who wore nicer clothes than I did. That nickname stuck around until 4th grade because of the fact I'd listen to anyone who'd ask for help. I was even called, "Heavy" as a supposed nickname for "Heaven" when it has been to call me fat. Around 5th grade,…

    Persuasive Essay

    Every day, somewhere in the world, someone is getting bullied and it’s your choice whether or not to do something about it. Most people choose to stay out of harm’s way if they’re not the one getting bullied and few people choose to stand up for themselves if they are the one bullied. I believe that helping or asking for help is the only way to solve a bullying problem. The reason why people choose not to say anything is because they’re scared of what might happen. The “consequence” of telling on someone is what most people think about first, so why put yourself in a place where you don’t need to be right? If it’s not your problem then it’s not a problem to you at all? These thoughts are the reasons why bullying is never stopped.…
