Demi Lovato's Bullying Story

Bathroom Mussiness

Students are faced with negative comments, even in the bathroom stalls. Students are challenged with reading the mean comments while using the restroom. School restrooms are student's resources when they are not feeling well, students should feel comfortable entering the bathroom. Students who want to hide their sorrow often take a walk to the restroom in hope to relieve their sadness, then return to their regular school day. It is difficult to read such harsh comments on the bathroom stalls that may effect their emotions. Verbal bullying surrounds our environment, it may be found anywhere. It may directed toward anyone.

Name calling may effects others well being, be careful with the use of your words and how they may make others feel. Verbal bullying can be anything about weight, appearance, racist, sexual or homophobic bullying.

The victim was found wandering around Chicago the day of the incident, the victim was in an awful state of trauma. The police were able to identify the victim and rescue him from the streets. Chicago police arrested four teenagers for assaulting a mentally disabled young man.

Bullying can tare families apart

Being a victim of bullying may result in many behavioral changes that may easily increase difficulties at home. Victims of bullying tend to isolate themselves from their families and hold more secrets from their loved ones. Victims also tend to overreact to situations often with irritability which may create more arguments within the household. Victims may also use excuses to get out of going to school to avoid being bullied. Victims may say they are feeling ill to miss out on events that they are afraid of attending. Victims may also avoid family outings and doing things they used to enjoy because of social anxiety. Bullying makes families more overprotective, caring more about their children's safety. Bullying does not only affect the victim, it affects their families as well.
