Laura Modigliani's 'Tales Of Bullying'

Students are bullied for many reasons. In the text by Laura Modigliani, the author of ‘’Tales of Bullying’’, reported a boy who said one of his friends made fun of another kid for his weight. Another student was bullied because of the way he wore his hair and his close. A person might also be bullied because he/she might be annoying or different. To begin with a student or person may become a bully from home life. In Source 1, it states that “some kids have trouble at home, and when they are at school, they let it all out.’’ Another reason humans do this horrible thing is to connect with other people they have in common with. Did you know there is two things most people are? A wicked bully or a rotten bystander.
A bystander is someone who stands by while another person is getting bullied. Almost everyone knows what a bully is. According to Joel Harper, who is an expert on bullying, says any ongoing behavior that’s meant to hurt someone in any way is bullying. First of all, a bystander is way worst then a bully according to “Tales of Bullying”. Yes, a bully is responsible for the death of a person, but the bystander could have stopped it. They could have put an end to the suffering, hopeless person, but they just stood around and watched the victim being consumed with the monstrous words and the evil blows from the bully. Think about it this way. The bullies are the wolves and we are the bison. The “wolves” pick out the weak to prey on. Then they try to bring the animal down by dragging it the ground. The bison tries to fight back, but it is not strong enough to from the wounds the wolves gave it. That’s where we come in. Chase the wolves away from the one that was beat down. In conclusion we need to be more than the heroic bison. Help the victims the wolves try to devour. Take a stand. Stand up to bullies. Who knows, you might save a life. You could be a hero.
