What I Learned Through My Life
I have learned throughout my life that the world is meant to bring everyone problems, but those problems are the challenges we need to overcome in order to learn from them. I had to endure plenty as a child, but what person didn't? I mean, there probably wasn't many who had to experience most their difficulties as a child, but as an older individual. I know of older individuals who have had their problems brought to them at a much later time in their lives, but that doesnt mean they werent able to defeat it. Knowing this has given me the wisdon to apprehend that the world knows no age and that it's victims are chosen unsystematically. There are innumeral ways that you can experience trials and tribulations, but mine happened to be two of the …show more content…
I always got treated the worst because my mom remarried after having my brother, and was pregnant with me seven years later. He always told me that I was the reason for his misery. He would call me hurtful things and, afterwards, hit me for any small reason he got angry. I had no fault in his anger or misery for him to be treating me this way. Now that I am older, I can see it clearer. Though I may have had no fault, the weight still got thrown on me so I can grow stronger from it. In a similar way, this situation goes hand in hand with when I first got bullied in elementary. I never knew that the perception of society would change as I got older, therefore, distiguishing me as an outsider. I never knew that I would get thrown crumbled paper balls and get tripped in the hallways. I never knew that having my self confidence totally destroyed would take years to recover and convince myself otherwise of their heart staggering words. Undergoing years of being bullied in elementary all the way to my middle school years and watching my older brother physically, verbally, and mentally abuse me is the hardest thing to recall on. Though, as hard as it may be, looking back on it also reminds me of how I overcame

    In the poem, “To This Day” By Shane koyczan he shows a bibliography about bullying and how it affects people. And how he got bullied as a kid. People need to understand that what they say doesn't just go one ear out the other. People can be extremely hurtful without knowing it. One thing that kids said from the poem is, “kids used to say she looks like a wrong answer that someone tried to erase but couldn’t quite get the job done”. That is just one of the many things kids said. The quote shows that even if people think i can't get worse that is usually when it does. But the problem is that people dont understand the scar that they leave when they do those…

    “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me”, the famous rhyme I would recite when someone was indeed hurting my feelings. The insecurities I had as a child from being overweight or having larger ears that stuck further than most of my peers, were in fact the very reason I was being bullied. In the article “How Being Bullied Affects Your Adulthood” by Kate Baggaley she describes how one family therapist by the name of Ellen Walser DeLara interviewed over eight hundred people ranging in age from eighteen to sixty-five about the lasting effects bullying had on their live. The author explains that from DeLara’s research over the years, she has uncovered a distinctive pattern from adults who were severely bullied. DeLara…

    I was often left feeling very undervalued and useless and was always told that “You should have done better”. I did not agree with my mother administering physical violence towards me, I lost respect and any affection that I had left for her. I was scared of her at first but later in my teens I stood up to her taking the slipper out of her hand and telling her she would not be hitting me with it. The physical violence then ceased, but she still threatened me with it, but I would just walk out of the house returning when she had calmed down.…

    Soon enough, the bullies’ obviously short-focused attention soon found its target on me. People said harmful things that have stayed with me to this date. Traumatic experiences aren’t as easily forgotten as pleasant experiences are forgotten. Even through my own suffering, I never realized that this was the exact same thing that was happening to Leah.…

    I was ten years old when the bullying started. I lived with two elder sisters, a mother and a father; a family which resembled that of ‘Elie’s’ from the book “Night” written by Elie Wiesel. I was the youngest in the family so I was used to the occasional taunts and teasing. Yet soon enough those taunts and teases escalated into a much…

    Most people look back at high school and think of the great experiences they have had, and the memories they will hold forever, but thoughts varied whether someone was in the popular crowd or an underdog. A bully may look back on high school and embrace the memory, remembering the power, strength and greatness they felt, but the power does not last forever. The bully victim, someone who is bullied then turns to bully others, faces greater problems than the ones they hurt once high school is over and the power surge ends. On the other hand, those who were bullied look back at high school and instead of remembering the great moments, are scarred and blocked by the fear and anxiety they felt, and continue to feel throughout their lives. The effects of bullying do not just stop after high school ends, but follow the victim, as well as the bully victim long after.…

    and I was convinced of this sooner than later. Anyone that has been bullied to the point to where they no longer want to come to school understands what it can do to a child. It doesn’t mat’s like to be on the outside and watching what the cool kids are doing. This was more embarrassing than anything I have ever had to go through. At the age of 10 I thought I was worthless and no…

    Poetry can be compared and contrasted in many ways. I have chosen to compare and contrast two poems by Siegfried Sassoon. “His poetry both described the horrors of the trenches, and satirized the patriotic pretensions of those who, in Sassoon's view, were responsible for the pointless deaths of millions” (Wikipedia). His poems contains a deep meaning and an important message, his poetry has a passionate expression of outrage at the horrors of war and feels pity for the young soldiers who sacrificed their life. He writes from experiences he witnessed and heard of. These are both examples of the type of poems that Sassoon wrote to showcase the difficult lives faced by British soldiers in the trenches of World War I. He felt he had to expose the ugly face of war to the naive civilians on the home front.…
