Blog post 3 Bullying

Reading the article, Sister Bullying from Berry and Adams it was very interesting to see that the middle child of four sisters was the bully out of all of them. Growing up and witnessing families that had a middle child, it would usually be the middle child getting bullied but for Victoria and Lily that was not the case. Lily was the middle child and grew up and over time became more and more aggressive with the way she would talk and have a relationship with her family. Victoria over time, because of the abuse from her sister, became more and more angry and tried to hold most things inside. This shows up in the article where they are doing a family camping trip and Lily is all mad because she does not want to be there and victoria is sitting in her tent overhearing the conversation and Lily goes on to tell her mom "I don't even want to be here. I don't care about any of you!" Now if I was this mom or even Victoria I would be super pissed off because family members are supposed to love one another, they are supposed to care. But in some cases it is not like that. Bullying is a very serious situation, and especially if it deals with family because you can't get away from the situation you live with the person bullying you. And its really sad because a lot of the time bullying victims contemplate or actually commit suicide. I have lost friend due to suicide and I don't know what was going on in their lives nor what they were thinking but I do know this, we need to be nice to every single person we meet or talk to because if you treat more people with respect and kindness then there will be less problems and questions being asked like why do they hate me or not like me, what did I do wrong, am I at fault? These are all questions that hit real hard when you sit down and really contemplate them. So Today be a friend not a bully. Stand up for what is right and don't let a bully take control.
