Post #2 Bullying

When I was in Elementary bullying was not a problem in my school but when I went to Middle School, I witnessed bullying every time. I saw a couple of students being pushed around because they were new to the school and since they were “scrubs”.  In Middle School if you were a “scrub”, you would become bullied but as you move up grades, you become the bully toward the new students. I once witnessed a kid being bullied because they talked weird. The reason I believe that there was bullying in middle school is because we were at an age where we believed that only the strong can succeed at this level. I also believe that people were bullied because we weren’t mature enough to understand the effects that bullying can do to someone. Now during High School I have witnessed little amount of bullying because I believe that at this age, we are old enough to comprehend the consequences of our actions.
