Dylan Morganti LAL 6 Smith/Stard period 7/8 Persuasive essay April 15, 2011 __Bullying __

Have you ever wondered what it would be like without a bully? Bulling someone can make people commit suicide. He bullied will **//always//** be depressed, and the bullies exist because all they want is attention and to be mean. Bullying is unnecessary because it is a bad influence on other students, victims of bullying become depressed and some victims commit suicide. If you bully someone then it will have more of an effect on the parents and police, because they have to try to catch the bully. First, over 50,000,000 citizens commit suicide because of the bullies. Next, the bully puts bad influences on the littler kid because he/she will start to do what the bully does. Or, (role model.) The bullied would have their parents’ call the police, and the bully would get arrested after the cops catch him/her. The bullied will always be depressed after being bullied. First, 99 out of 100 FBI agents and police say that about average of 1,000,000 citizens commit suicide every month. For instance, over 120,000,000 citizens committed suicide this year. Finally, mostly it is students in school or college, or any school that gets bullied more than anyone else in the world. The bullies always hurt the weak ones, and after a while the bullied will begin to be depressed. Bullies always put bad influences on the bullied. For one thing, over 1,000mof the smaller kids will do exactly what the bullies do. Another thing, 9 out of 10 parents say that bullying is unnecessary. Finally, the William Davies Middle schools’ principle Mr. Muldoon said 1,000,000 kids commit suicide last year. The little kids watched bullies will start doing what they do and start bullying other people, too. In conclusion, bullying is mean, cruel and hurtful. With this in mind, the bullied will commit suicide, the bullied will be depressed, and the People being bullied will never talk to anyone again. Consider this, many people think that bullying is okay because maybe they are getting bullied by someone else and feels that they need to bully somebody else. However, some may say that bullying is not okay because it is mean and it makes people feel bad and they are hurt in side. We are having a meeting to try to stop bullying and we need you to come.
