Today teen suicide is still an issue in sociey but, there is a much bigger issue that is causing our teens to commit suicide or consider it. That issue ladies and gentlemen is, Bullying. Now at one point bullying was a norme in society amongst teens and children in schools. Now in today's society it is causing such an uprising due to the fact that so many teens are trying to hurt themselves or take their own life just because they are getting bullied.
From my personal experience i too was the victim of bullying and I understood that it was something that all kids go through. You were always told that one you get to a certain grade in school you would get bullied and that it wasn't going to be anything serious just some kid who would be bigger then you would push you around for a little while just to see how tough you were and one that was done with and you moved on then you maybe for a short time become a bully yourself.
However! In the society of today the kids are become more cruel in the way that they bully other kids. Children now are more cold, callus, and cruel. It is this same cruelty that is making the victims of bullying so upset and depressed that it is leading to suicide.
Since this is becoming a rising issue in today's society there are many different organization to help withthe issue of bullying. For example World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has this organization called Be A STAR. This organization entails the superstars of WWE, that alot of children look up too by the way, going to the schools and holding events to deal with the topic of bullying.
Also bullying is not just in the schools, in case you are wondering, it is outside of the schools, in the home possibly, in the media, and even on the internet. Cyber bullying is also another harsh cruel form of bullying. Bullying in any form is not ok! If you are a victim you can in some cases end up becoming a predator. If you are bullied there can be a lot of catastrophic results. Take a look at the Sanyhook shooting or Columbine. Those kids were victims at one point and then, what happened they became predators.
This is a serious issue in today's society and it is increasing. It is definitely not alright to bully someone to the point where they feel they want to take their own life. Hope this helped shed some light on the issue of bullying and remember we are not in the 80's or the early 90's bullying is not ok!
Be happy and be safe :).
Hi Raven I'm Tiffany :) Thank you for commenting on my blog I appreciate it. You did an amazing job writing this entry because it caught my full attention. Suicide is not a pretty picture when you imagine yourself being found, serene like you fell asleep, a note explaining to you sobbing friends and family how you couldn't take the pain. Life is too short to be afraid of living your life to its full potential. Life can be truly amazing if we step back from all of the negativity going on in the world and view it as an amazing thing we are getting to experience. At my senior year in High School I lost a close friend of mine who committed suicide. It broke my heart because losing someone you care for so much is now no longer in your existence. He always treated me like his little sister. Everyone respected him in school but he was one of those teens who doesn't like to express there emotion to others. Life is cruel and the only thing we can do is to make it through the tough times and we will grow stronger. Live life & stay positive :)

DeleteHey Raven its Francisca. I was reading your blog and it caught my attention that you wrote about how you were once bullied because that gives you a closer understanding of how those kids feel.I myself have witnessed people being bullied and it's really sad how other people use bully others cause they think they are better or even in most cases most of the bully's bully other people because they know they're not going to do nothing back or stand up for themselves which is not fair. To some people they just do it for the fun of it but they don't look at the big picture at how it has such a big impact on the person being bullied and all the serious things it can lead to if it keeps on happening or gets taken to a farther point.
