Bullying
With all of the horrific stories about mass murders happening at schools and students bring weapons, know wonder why kids and adolescents are afraid of going to school, even know there is only a one in a million chance of having attack at school. Today the number of violent attacks has been associated with gangs. The department of Justice has estimated that there is close to 24,000 gangs in the United States at this time.
When people think of bully’s they think of a big tough guy or the school jocks picking on the little nerdy kid and pushing them around but after a while that individual will fight back. Take Columbine for instance when Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold went to school and started shooting up and bombing the school which killed 13 students and wounded 23 all over being bullied for years.
Today in this technology era we have a new type of bullying called cyber bullying that has taken over the social networks like MySpace and Facebook. Another sad story is the Megan Meirer’s story; a 13 yr old girl who committed suicide after a boy named Josh posted bulletins about her on his MySpace and sent her harassing messages. After talking to her parents about what was going on and them not understanding Megan run upstairs and hung herself, all because of a tragic lie. After Megan’s death her parents later found out that Josh was made up person and the individual be hide Josh was Megan’s ex best friend’s mother.
