Bullying is a cruel act and hurts many people physically and mentally. In some cases takes peoples lives because they aren't able to handle it. Suicide though an option shouldn't be done because you feel like others don't like who you are. Bullying damages people and hurts them more than scars or bruises can because the words someone may hear stay with them and they start to believe that they are who you tell them they are.
An 11 year old boy, who has ADHD, decided that he should take his own life because the bullying was too much to handle. He Tried to kill himself and failed. He was found by a family member and word got out that he attempted. This was all because he was being bullied at school for being a "brony", a male, fan of the show My Little Pony. He liked one of the ponies in particular that had ADHD like symptoms and behavior because he can relate to her. The kids made fun of him because he was open about liking this show and feeling connected to one of the characters.
People seem to often judge others and make them feel thinkin less than they are because they want them to feel less than they are so they can feel better about themselves. But what many people fail to understand is that words cut deepest, they stir inside you and it’s all you think about, wondering if that’s what everyone thinks of you, if that’s all you really are. But for some people it gets worse, for some it consumes them and they become people who can't handle being looked at because they think that you're thinking bad about them. They think about in their dreams, in class, the hallways and soon they just crave a way to escape their own mind and their own thoughts and who they've become. They're often unable to just stop thinking so they use the alternative, if you're not living you’re not thinking.
Bullying is a horrid act that shouldn't happen to anyone and makes people do extreme things to themselves. He was verbally and physically attacked for liking a show that most boys his age wouldn't watch. He felt he needed an escape from the bullying and that is a common side effect and felt like suicide was the only way out. Though suicide can end your problems permanently I feel like its not the only way out.
