You're walking down the hall, just minding your business. Then suddenly, someone sticks their foot out and trips you. You fall to the ground. The next second, you look up, to see everyone is around you. Laughing. Pointing. Making fun of you. Would you just let the tears fall? Would you run away? Or even take your life. Many people must face this decision everyday.

Good _____ Class and respected teacher today I, Yusuf Artan will be speaking on the topic bullying. Before we go on to the subject we will first explain what bullying is. Many people have different opinions on what bullying is. Some say it is kicking or hitting someone, others say it’s when you say mean things or call someone names. All of these things are correct,. However, the formal definition of bullying is anything that a person does on purpose to upset or hurt another person

So have you ever been bullied? It’s not the best feeling is it? It makes you feel insecure, humiliated and very uncomfortable. It has the power to destroy lives, mentally and physically.

Bullying can occur anywhere and at any time. If you are getting bullied, everyday things could become issues. For example, if you are bullied at school, you may feel like you never want to step foot there again. Because a group of idiots who thinks its a joke to bully people younger than them for their life to come. It is not a fun and is not a joke its a serious life-threatening situation

Right now, there is a young boy somewhere in the world who has recently been held up to a brick wall, been punched in the stomach several times, had his lunch money taken off him and has been thrown into the dirt face first. The question is, why? Why are these ruffians, barbaric bullies sweltering with the heat of oppression and aggression take the lives of innocent souls bully? Does it make you cool? Does it? More powerful? Its a despicable thing to think about a big man bullying an innocent pure soul who didn’t even know him.

If you call someone fat, it doesn't make you any thinner. If you call someone dumb, it doesn't make you any smarter. If you call a person hideous it doesn’t make you any prettier. If you make somebody want to commit suicide, or make them depressed and think ill about their life, it doesn't make you any stronger.

Have you ever heard of the book Nineteen Minutes? Do you know what the story is about? Well Peter Jackson, from a young age was picked on and beaten by his peers. He was called, alien, geek, and some other inappropriate things, he was "bloomers" in from of his whole class while he was in lunch and he was hurt physically by everyone. Later, after all these instances occurred, he went crazy from traumatic stress and shot the people that had hurt him this is what dismayed the people but we still don’t do anything to prevent it.

Eleven year old, Carl Joseph was found hanging from an extension cord.. How old? For Gods sakes an 11 year old was forced to take his own life. Bullying has become a growing problem between many people and must stop Now!!!!

Chris was a happy, smart kid who was usually referred to as a nerd, when he went to high school he was teased incessantly, persistently by other students, shoved in a locker and harassed the first four days of high school. After his fourth day of school he came home went into his basement and died by suicide. Before he died he left a suicide note reading the bullies and who they were. The bullies were sent to juvenile for the suicide of this innocent soul. But till this day they still carry this guilt with them. Those 3 accounts show us how dangerous bullying can get, and what consequences it can lead to. And if we don't attempt to stop bullying, things like this can possibly happen in the future again. While some may not take action now, other bullying victims can be dangerous to society later on and life. Our teenage years can evaluate what our adult years will be like. When we are bullied in our teenage years, our future selves can be damaged.

The old saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names or insults will never hurt me?” isn’t necessarily true; words hurt. Maybe not physically, but when kids already have insecurities, bullies don’t help. They build on those insecurities and insult the different qualities of kids. No one likes the way insults feel, and this is why bullies are criminals and deserve more severe consequences.

Bullies are criminals; they terrorize and harass their victims, ripping apart their self-esteem and attacking their insecurities until the unthinkable happens; violence or even a tragicdeath
