Nick and Katie
Eleven score and
seventeen years ago, our forefathers were bullied by the British Empire. Did we
stand for this abuse? No, we fought back. We asserted our rights. We asserted
that all men are created equal, and that they all should have the liberty to do
as they want without the persecution of others.
Now, antibullying
campaigns dominate our schools with assemblies called throughout the school
year to bring awareness to this issue.
Posters hang on the walls with announcements about antibullying messages
trying to raise awareness about this very important issue.
And yet, in spite of
this, bullying continues to be out of control in our schools. Teen suicide,
many due to bullying, is the third highest cause of death among teenagers. This
has to end.
Much
of the groundwork to solve this problem has already been laid down, so that we
may walk down that path and finally put an end to this problem that has plagued
us for so long. We just have to take the appropriate measures, which no one
seems willing to take. And thus, we undue the earlier work that has been done.
We are ruining the dream of those who came before us.
