Bullies Never Remeber

Hi I am Brittany and I was pick on in school.

I have tried my best to let somethings just roll of my back. But I can still remember being pick on when I was growing up. Now the extent to what I was pick on was not that bad. I know other may have been pick on more than me. But the pain is still there a little hid beneath

But what occurred to me a couple weeks ago when I came across someone who had been mean to me and my sister. It was as if they didn't remember what happen a few years ago. Heck, I don't even think they remember who I am.

I know that Bullies, someone being mean or picking on you because you are different may seem like they are two different things. But in many ways they are the same. You still get your feelings hurt, harsh words are thrown at you, and it doesn't make you feel any better about yourself.

In the news recently there have been many stories about bullying and schools needing to do something about it. Which I agree. It's almost as if the schools want to remain silent, so they don't have to do anything. Maybe they think its a ride of passage in youth, some get pick on and some do they picking.

News Flash it's not cool. And what sucks is that sometimes the bulling or the picking keeps going even after public education. It happens at college and even in the workplace.

Just because someone is different, that they don't talk, walk or dress like you, just because they may or may not have money, or what school, race, sexual orientation they are, does not mean to bully or pick on them.

Stand up to bullying and be a friend!
Something needs to be done about bullying. There needs to be a stop to it.
