THE BULLY By Kamille Simmons

A bully is a person who tries to overpower those who are weaker, using harmful things to intimidate them. Bullying is NOT good. A bully is something you DON'T want to be. Bullying can cause depression to other kids. When children are being bullied, they may have suicidal thoughts. And that reflects badly on you. That's why many people say you should think before you speak. Too many children make bad decisions on thinking about becoming a bully. Sometimes, it is because they are jealous. Jealousy is caused by kids not getting their way, or kids not having as much money to afford the same things as others. Also, people become bullies because things are not going how they want them to go, which is not good because your actions are affecting other children. If you have thought about being a bully, don’t. Nothing good comes from it. Bullying is something that can go on your record, and also who wants to be named "bully"? So if you were previously a bully or thought about being one, don't. THINK before you do something. ALWAYS make positive choices.
