I do believe that stereotyping and bullying has become a huge part of our world. It has consumed people’s lives to the point of letting others take their own lives. It’s hard to be a teenager in high schools and middle schools in today’s world due to the number one requirement; fitting in. Cliques are being formed more and more throughout schools and even singling one person out to make them feel like they mean nothing in this world. Everyone wants answers to the main question; Why? What makes anyone better than someone else? Families lose loved ones because of others being “caddy” and bullies for no reason at all. I feel it is important for others to know more about these situations. You can never know enough information about a subject and that’s just what people need; to know more. On the news the other day, a 14 year old boy took his own life for not fitting in because he questioned his sexuality and was bullied for it. What I don’t understand is why people care about someone else’s sexuality or beliefs. We’re all entitled to our own opinion and it shouldn’t be taken away. I know that means the bully in that situation can voice their opinion, but what gives them the right to hurt someone so badly to take their own life away? Growing up I always wanted to fit in of course, but being “the cheerleader” and being with the people I chose to hang out with made me stereotyped and bullied. People automatically judged that I thought I was better than everyone so they treated me rudely. It doesn’t make sense to me why some people don’t let others have a chance. Bullying and stereotyping is becoming too common and more awareness needs to be made. I myself would love to get a better understanding of these situations so I can do what I can to prevent the small cases and larger cases of bullying and stereotyping. No one should lose their life or loved ones due to this cause.
