Bullying

Are You a Bully?

             Bullying has been around for a very long time. It is a bad thing to do, in my opinion. Many people around the world are being bullied just now as you read this. What do you think? are you for it? Or are you against it. It is sad to see that many people, including kids, face these threats a long the way of their lives. You may never know what being bullied feels like.

      In elementary school, I was bullied a lot. I have always been for of a "softy" when it comes to things in my personal life. I kind of had nobody to talk to, but the girls in my school invited me to join them. I still remember, I would always be hanging out with the girls during lunch, since i wasn't quite socially accepted by the boys. I always wanted to be part of the "cool kids" group. I wasn't good enough. They would always torment me and would look for every little flaw of mine to pick on. 

     At some point i really just had enough of it so i did something about it. It wasn't a very bright idea. I became the bully. I bullied a lot of the innocent kids, I bullied the bullies. It was such a sad thing to do. I then became socially accepted by those kids. I was happy for quite a while until i realized what I was doing. I had become a monster. When fifth grade came in, I decided to change a bit. I was nicer to the girls that had once accepted me for who I was. I felt even better. It got to the point where I just stopped talking to those "friends" and moved on to a quest to find friends that were best for me. When middle school came, I found new friends that actually accepted me for who I was and this made me feel A LOT better. To this day I still follow and accept people for who they are and I really like who I am today!

      I think that a lot of us should unite to end this bullying. Honestly, how do you feel making other people feel bad? I think that we may one day end bullying. We're all in this together and we can make it through thick and thin.

    

RUN FORREST

Favorite Movie

            There are many movies out there that are very interesting. Out of all of the movies I’ve seen, it is very hard to choose just one. One of my favorite movies of all time is Forrest Gump. This is one of the very few movies that I felt that deserved to be my number one. No other movies can compare.

    Forrest Gump is one of my favorites for many reasons. The main character, Forest is a young male that I can relate to. He is supposedly “different” from others, just like me. The story about his is just intriguing itself. I can relate to Forest for many different reasons. He achieves so many cool things throughout his life. I am a runner and I really love to run just like Forest does in the film. Because of him, I’ve learned to never give up on my goals. He ran across the country for no apparent reason. I think this is what really motivated me to run my first marathon. We can’t let anything hold us back, we should always be looking up and completing my goals just as he would do.  Keep your head up and, “RUN FORREST! RUN!”
