Why can’t we take that step?

Hey guys. In this entry I would like to focus on bullying again. Bullying is no joking matter. We all say we are going to stop bullying and help prevent it, but when the time comes, we do nothing. Some of us just look at the kid being bullied and others have the nerve to cheer the bully on. Others are sick enough to join in with the bullying by helping the bully pick on the victim. We all say how we want to do everything we can to discontinue bullying; however, none of us do a thing. I know how some of you feel. I used to just be a bystander. Well it has nothing to do with me, so why should I worry about it, I always thought. Why should I stick my nose into something that isn’t my business? However, I was wrong.

We are just like the bully, if not worse. Thinking like this makes us selfish and uncaring. We can’t be thinking about ourselves when someone else desperately needs our help. We can’t believe that someone else will help the person out. Well, somebody is going to stand up to him/her and I don’t want to get involved. Some of you probably thought of this when you witnessed bullying. Guess what? You are not the only one who thinks this. If one of us doesn’t take action, none of us will. There is only one bully or sometimes there might be 2 or 3. However, there are more of us then there are of them. I’m not saying we should get physical; however, if we all just stand up, the bully will back down. He/she can’t bully everyone in the school.

So please take what I have to say seriously. The sooner we stop bullying, the better. Trust me when I say you have more power than the bully. So, I beg of you to take action and be a leader. Set an example and stand up to the bullies. We can all take that step to make a difference.
