From constant bullying eventually came punishment with him reporting us to the teacher. They all got sent to the principal's office (me included). I was confused because I thought that I have done nothing wrong, engaging in no bullying activity. However, I was told that I was in trouble because I did not tell the authorities about the bullying incidents. In other words, they were calling me a coward for not doing anything when seeing such a sight. Looking back, I regret leaving without helping the poor kid and this experience has helped me become a better person.

My "suffering child"
I remember in sixth grade there was this one kid that a group of people would always pick on. The group of people were mostly my friends so I was always tempted to join them in making fun of them. we were making fun of him because it was entertainment for us, watching him suffer from our comments and react. I decided to not take a part of these activities which was hard because during break it was all my friends were doing.

Matt,
ReplyDeleteI loved the personal experience you decided to speak about in your post. It was very bold of you to speak of an extremely personal experience like this and this situation displays that even though you did not take action, you still handled the situation to the best of your ability. To not be peer pressured into bullying the one targeted victim was very large of you and extremely brave to go against what actions your friends had partaken in. Nice work!

I really enjoyed the effort your put in this reflection. I appreciate you being able to open up and share a personal experience like this. I can tell that you have learned a lot ever since this incident and it makes me want to get better as well.

Matt, I'm sure that feeling probably sucks, but good for you that you didn't actually partake in the actual bullying, so I guess you don't have to feel guilty about that.
