Dear Dr. Brandon,
I have witnessed bullying before and it’s not really the way to go. We really need this fixed because it affects our learning, like not being able to focus because you’re worried what their going to do to you next. This is horrible. Not only has it affected the person who’s being targeted, but it’s affecting the community because their by standards and they don’t do anything about it. Being a by standard sucks and I know how hard it is to step in or tell a teacher but just think you would want someone doing the same for you, right?
The sad part is that 70% of all young people have experienced bullying, and one million kids are bullied every week, inside and outside of school.
People don’t really know that this school has a ton of bullying going on and no one really does or cares to stop or tell someone that their doing this. Even if that person not your friend, so what you would still want the same.
I just want drama to stop; I encourage you and all these peers to stop drama/bullying/whatever you want to call it. I remember when I was bullied as a child because of the things I wore or the things I did, I know how I felt and I felt attacked so why would people just stand there and watch this happen instead of help? I guess that’s not possible to answer because I’m not the people doing this to other people.
Why is there so much drama? Why do people cause other people to stress? Why do people care what you wear or think? Why do people do all of this? We all want these answered but we don’t know how because of the answers that could be good or bad.
Drama causes so much stress in kid’s life and on top of that we have school and sports and friends and really anything. Kids want to have fun not worry about silly things. Some people get really upset about relationships or problems with friends. Drama can take apart of your life. Why would you want to spent there life unhappy when you can live it and be happy?
People care about a lot of things but the most stupid thing you would never think of is what people wear. People are trying to impress someone and that’s fine but when you make fun of someone’s clothes you don’t know there back round they could be lucky to have those because they are homeless. People don’t think before they say or do anything, that’s a HUGE problem because it could really put someone down or hurt there feeling and I know that’s how a lot of fights start or a lot of conflicts start.
Drama just should stop now because when students get involved students can never relive that moment. When I think of drama my definition is: a situation of having vivid, emotion, conflicting, or bad results or being bullied.
Most of drama is when someone has a boyfriend or girlfriend. They are so stressed out with people telling them this and that. Why can’t kids just stop drama all together? Well because people love attention and would do anything to get it. Everyone gossips but really there is no need for it. You can’t really say you see them with another girl “flirting” until you’ve actually witnessed it happen, and so what if they are together they are just friends. Plus it takes 2 to tango, so if one persons doing something and the other isn’t that’s not flirting and let me tell you if kids are caught talking to a guy or girl that spreads fast! The most drama is when you and your girl/boy friend break up but it’s really not the end of the world I mean in the end after at least 1 or 2 weeks they’ll be back to normal.
Dramas serious, someone could take it so seriously they commit suicide, at the least 20 children commit suicide a year. How would you feel if people were doing this to you? Think about it, drama is almost like bullying's twin because you are making up things that could really hurt someone. The worst part is when kids realize they did something and didn’t apologize.
Drama can get to someone, so just let’s stop drama whether its in or out of school, so that people don’t make teenage life’s worse or stressful, yet it may seem silly to stress over something so small or so tiny but I kind of get why they do because If I had a boyfriend and someone was all over him or people telling me this and that and that and this I would worry about if they are or aren’t. We don’t need drama in our lives were kids, and kids want to hangout with friends or go somewhere and have fun. That’s what is so crazy; the people that are causing others to feel like this are usually the people that are doing it. I’m not saying for us to stop dating I am saying stop the drama between the two people.
To solve this conflict you can see the consular or an adult students trust.
Plus dramas one less thing we will have to worry about. Sometimes it even causes kids not to sleep and then kids can’t focus in school or maybe it happens in school so that students can think while schools going on.
The best thing to do about this situation is talk it out or not have an argument but to talk it out and make things back to normal.
Drama can get to you, the important thing is to remember who kids are and never ever get all upset about it because its just apart of life and it will blow over and be okay in the end. Its apart of life you just have to know how to deal with it and if you don’t just STOP it from happening.
Sincerely,
Katie (:
