today, there will be no article. no satire. but something serious instead, somethign that strikes home with me. Bullies.

Why is people feel the need to strike others down, just to elevate themselves? are their lives so much worse than everyone else's that they feel the need to lower other's lives to the levels bullying can bring? I'll be frank. I was subject to bullying from elementary school through highschool. it cast me into a deeply depressed state, was partially responcible for me having agressive behavior toward a certain individual in third grade and myself, and partially responcible for leading me close to "the edge". So please, if you are a bully: stop. if you see people being bullied, try to interfere and stop it. it may not make you look "cool", or be the "popular" thing to do, but in the long run, it is the right choice.

The person in third grade, i almost gave them a concussion. Myself, i had deeply psychological torment. To others, i didn't have real friends until sixth grade. Try to be the better person, try to stop bullying.
