From a little experience of being in middle school, I've realized that people do get bullied a lot. I have personally seen people get bullied in the halls, cafeteria, the gym, and sometimes in their own classrooms. I am writing this because I want to give my opinion on it. I might be wrong in some areas about this situation, but I want to highlight the situation at least a little from my perspective.
One thing about this that I want to share is that I have been bullied before and was starting to doubt my self-image, opinion, and a few other things. I even started to ask almost all my friends if that's what they think of me. Over the course of time I realized that I shouldn't care what they think of me, but it still hurt.
At school I'm always trying to be nice and welcoming to others, because you never know how much it might mean to someone even if you just smile. But I believe that it's harder for other people to open up to others because of people bullying.
Most of the places I've seen and been bullied were the 7th and 8th grader halls and the cafeteria. I don't try to blame them, because maybe that happened to them when they were 6th graders.
I also know that people in middle school aren't the only people getting bullied. I've heard people say that people do bully others in high school, college, universities, preschool, and even elementary. In some shape or form I've heard of people getting bullied everywhere. I've also talked with people who said they've been bullied and weren't even in school.
But to whoever's reading this, please know that it has nothing to do with you, sometimes it's because of other people bullying them, family issues, people doing it to fit in, and so many other things. So don't blame yourself. Thank you for reading.
