There are so many kinds of bullying in the world, so many of these bullies don't understand and don't care about the repercussions of their actions even if its the bully saying mean things to a person.
Bullying has an emotional, physical, and mental effects on a person. Sometimes people cannot handle being bullied and kill or hurt themselves or the person thats bullying.
I remember as a kid in high school their being this one kid who just didn't fit in. He had a hard time making friends and even just getting threw the day without being picked on. Everyday I watched as he was pushed around and called names like four eyes and bimbo, or jolly green giant because he was so tall and just big.
After 6 or 7 months of watching this I couldn't handle it anymore so I became friends with him. All he wanted was a friend to talk to and to help him with this bully problem. Everyone else absolutely refused or turned a blind eye.
Him and I became very close friends threw the time that I was at high school. We would meet n walk to and from school everyday. Eat lunch together, and I even would walk him to his classes.
Eventually the bullies left him alone but I remember my friend telling me at one point threw this how he thought about suicide.
He thought about how he could get back at these kids in a very harmful way.
A couple years after I left high school I heard his mother died and that he had found her in the kitchen on the floor.
And at the time he was finishing his last year of school and because of this it made him very depressed and he started to get bullied again. I wasn't there to help him. At this point I was gone to Calgary.
One day I got a phone call from his sister telling me that he had walked out in front of a transport truck in front of her house cause he just couldn't take it anymore.
I thought I could help, but unfortunately it only lasted a short time before he took his life.
