The
adolescent life has many many topics. They are at such an amazing age that most wish to relive. I would say the first topic that comes to mind is
adolescent bullying. It happens so much that they start teaching kids in elementary school what bullying is, how to report it and not become a bully. I would say that most bullying comes from teens that have self problems with in them. It would be a good topic to write on because it is so popular. Bullying
happens for all sorts of reasons but like i said above to some being a bully makes them feel
better which is kinda sick if you think
about it. I have been
victim to being a bully a couple times in my life as i am sure we all have so it would be interesting to learn more about the topic. I can say however that i have never hung someone on
the flag poles like you see in movies : ). My bullying days were very minor i would more so call it being mean. It is funny to watch movies about bullying. My all time favorite bullying scene is in dumb and
dumberer where they think that the bully is their friend and that it is normal. I would have to say that bullying is no longer 'cool'. I have a younger brother in 10t
h grade and my son is in 1st grade and it has seemed to change a little since i was in
high school but elementary school seems the same. School is more so "cool" or cooler than it was when i was growing up. People skipped classes as much as they could. But now with the new trend of being smart and going to college few tend to skip. My brother says that there are some people that are bullies but most just stick to their social groups and go about their way. As for Elementary school my son tells me all the time how one minute this kids says he is his friend and the next thing he knows it he isnt just because someone has the cooler toy that he wants to play with. Its minor but it hurts his feelings. I think this would be a good topic to write about because bullying consists of so much.
I think this would be a great topic as well.Maybe you can talk about yourself how you felt or what made you bully others. And after talking about it, you can talk about how you feel about being a bully once. By the way you can also explain what you would do if you were taken back in time. Would you change anything?
ReplyDeleteBy the way I know you mentioned in your blog that you weren't a horrible bully, and I understand. I hope you know I'm just giving you some ideas to hopefully spice up the essay:)
