Bullying Blog Post #5

Taking advantage through physical, or mental abuse is wrong. Let me tell you about a bullying incidence that I wanted to stop but I was afraid that they would bully me. I was sitting down eating on the benches and a boy name Bob went to this kid named Rex. Bob went up to him and hit half of his sandwich onto the floor and demanded his lunch money. Rex did not want to get hurt so he gave Bob his money and looked at the floor for a while then looked up with a sad face. It wasn't long before Bob came back and knocked down Rex's sandwich again and said give more money. Rex said I have no more and told Bob to leave him alone. Bob took his wallet and told him that next time bring more for me if you want your wallet back. Lisa, a friend of Rex's came over and told Bob to leave Rex alone and get your own money and wallet. Bob yelled, "what are you going to do your only a girl".

In thinking back about this I wish I had the courage to do something about it. If more of us had felt this way maybe he would have stopped being such a bully. No one got up but I feel that many of us wanted to get up and tell him to leave Rex alone. Maybe I could have approach him later with a group of friends so that he would feel over powered. I would have gone with a group of friends to the principle and ask him to stop bulling Rex. I would also go and tell one of Rex's sibling and they would tell Bob to stop bulling their brother.

If I were in that position again I would go tell a teacher that Bob was taking his money. If I did something he may have stopped. Bob probably would go back to Rex and take his money again and no one would do any thing about it. Maybe he does not have a problem with Rex he might have anger from home and taking it out on people at school. Someone could call Bob's parents and tell them to talk to him about taking things that are not his is wrong. Also could be just having a bad day at home and at school so he taking it out on this one person.

My goals for this year are. 

I will try not upsetting anyone so that they do not anger on someone else so that there is less bulling or even no bullying.

I will try and stop bullying when I see it around school so that there is less discomfort for the new people.
