Can you equate any issue in our world today that causes similar passion, and deeply set stances/sides as the race issue in the South during the Civil Rights movement? Where do your yourself stand on the issue and how does it affect your life?
In today's world, I feel that bullying is an issue that has similar passion and compares to the race issue in the South during the Civil Rights Movement. Bullying is an issue that has grown in our society exponentially. I am extremely against bullying because it is not right to make someone feel bad when they do not deserve it. Bullying has become so tragic that it has developed to the brutal action of suicide. How can people be okay with knowing they may have contributed to this suicide. Recently, a girl, who went to the tech school with Wissahickon Students, committed suicide because she was bullied severely by others. This stood out to me because it affected individuals in my school. Students were wearing t-shirts in honor of her this week. Bullying is such a big issue in this society that it has influenced to want to make a contribution. I am planning on involving my senior project with a foundation that wants to raise awareness against teenage suicide. During the civil rights movement, african americans were persecuted because of what they look like. This resulted in a conservative reaction by african americans and one of the things they decided to do was to ride around south with desegregated buses to prove a message to everyone who were against the civil rights movement. This connects to bullying because it has the same concept; people passionately putting down individuals or groups. I am strongly against bullying and I believe that our society should do everything possible to prevent bullying throughout our country. It is an issue that leads myself to ask questions such as: What makes it okay to judge people?
