Speech
“One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered.”
― Michael J. Fox
Kia Ora, bullying, should it stop? People have been hurt really bad because of bullies. Bullying is a big deal to lots of kids because they are affected by it and it scares them. Bullies might punch, kick, push or call them names, but how would you feel if younger people were getting hurt because of your actions? Bullies don’t know when to stop, but when they do, the damage is unheard of. The bullies main objective is to hurt people and when they do, they take it way too far, and that’s why bullying should stop.
There are 3.2 million kids worldwide that have been saying that they have been getting bullied or teased. Bullies can make kids not go to school or even outside their house. They make people feel uncomfortable. Kids are worried that they won’t be able to do their school work because of the bullies that are still in their head.
The stress of dealing with bullies can make kids feel sick. Can you imagine all the kids that don’t go to school because of the bullies. Bullies affect people’s lives and make them depressed and scared for life.
People have seen the consequences of being bullied but have you?
Can you remember the feeling of being bullied, Being punched or kicked or even been called names?
Little kids have been scared and badly injured, and have felt uncomfortable going to school because of the bullies that are still in the back of their heads right at this moment.
So here's the thing. Do you really want bullying to keep on going. Just imagine how everything could go wrong in the future. Think of what the consequences are or going to be. Thank you.
