Personal Narrative: Girl-To-Girl Bullying
Bullying is not an action we wish to see or experience. Girl-to-girl bullying is not wished upon as well, especially when you are apart of it. Since the beginning of my school education I seemed to become a magnet of bullies. In elementary school, I tried to be helpful towards others. I assisted with homework, cleaned up after activities, and I even did most of the work in group projects because the other kids groaned and complained about it. Unfortunately, due to my acts of being helpful I was called, "dog" by the girls who wore nicer clothes than I did. That nickname stuck around until 4th grade because of the fact I'd listen to anyone who'd ask for help. I was even called, "Heavy" as a supposed nickname for "Heaven" when it has been to call me fat. Around 5th grade, …show more content…
I even stood up to someone who was being teased about who they chose to love as a romantic partner, because I know how defenseless someone can be in that position. Of course after doing so that girl tried to spread rumors about me, but that didn't stop me. However, as a senior, there's nothing I can do now to grow awareness to girl-to-girl bullying. But when I graduate college, I'll use my new skills to create games or shows that with grab the attention of all ages to open the awareness. Our generation is growing in technology as well as the demand in games and shows. If my creations become popular enough it may help kids and adults see the importance of anti-bullying, and maybe even show the bullies that what they do is not just a joke to laugh at with their friends, or a way to vent off their own issues. Winning this scholarship can definitely help my funds to do so, but I don't mind getting it or not. I just thought it'd be a nice way to share my story and how I plan to stop it. So thank you for taking the time to read this, and if others get the chance to read this, I hope they're inspired to do something about ending

    I recently read a dictionary’s definition of the verb ‘bully’ as “[to] use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants.” (MW Dict.) The article titled “Defining Bullying Down” by Emily Bazelon describes how the issue of bullying will never be solved if we continue to describe such a wide array of behaviors as bullying. Bazelon states that since it’s common to label everything from schoolyard teasing to harassment and intense violence as bullying, we can’t teach victims and bystanders how to stop it. Studies have shown that the best way to stop bullying is to deem it unacceptable. By shaming the behavior itself, we embarrass the perpetrator so they will think twice before doing…

    In today's society it is hard for schools and adults to properly identify and deal with bullying. It is hard to ignore the fact that most bullying goes unnoticed or unreported in schools, a place where adults are constantly present. With the exposure bullying has gotten in recent years people would think that schools have sophisticated methods of dealing with bullying, however this is not the case in most schools. Throughout many schools it can be seen that not enough is done to resolve the bullying and harassment happening on a day to day bases. Many schools work very hard in hopes that one day bullying will end, but it is hard for schools to know what to classify as bullying or harassment, since most of it can start outside of school grounds…

    Bullying In America

    Bullying in society is seen as a minor thing. Bullying is made into something humorous through movies, songs, television, and stereotyping. Therefore, teenagers can be misled about the real devastation bullying can have on their classmates. It is more than short-term hurt feelings; it can be psychological and physical scarring that could potentially last the victim a lifetime. According to the American Society of Positive Care for Children’s website, “about 28 percent of students aged 12-18 reported being bullied at school during the school year” (Bullying Statistics and Information). This means almost one-third of students are dealing with this widespread dilemma, and it is only getting worse with more outlets for bullying such as social networking and easier access to the internet than ever before. Bullying in all forms is a threat to teenagers and can have serious or even deadly consequences to its…

Life isn't easy for anyone, I , in particular, was genuinely scared a lot of the time to even get on the bus for school, soon enough I was able to tell myself to just let go.
