Week 2 Reading Journal " I was bullied"

I read an article, which is from my favorite magazine, GLAMOUR, about bullying. According to the article, last year, the 15-year-old phoebe prince in South Hadly, killed herself because of bullying. She would been tauned as a " slut" by classmates. Megan Kelly Hall, who is an authour of young adult misery based on the bulles from her own experience of bullying, said " These teens topped what I could have written about my characters in my wildest imagination." In Maine, another young adult writer was having similar reaction to Prince's death. Carrue Jones, who is the writer, said "For any kid die because they feel hopeless and alone. We must do sometiong." Then, they, Hall and Jones, established organaization, young adult authors aginst bullying.
This article also covers real experience of being bullied. Most of them who experienced bullying  had suffered from memories of bullying for a long time, even after leaving the relashionship with them.
I think that people who bully someone underestimate his or her feelings. Usually, they are insensitive about how hurted he is due to their teasing. Hall and Jones's effrot definitely worth in order to let them notice how hard bullying is.

  1. Hi Naoko,
    Cut out "white"---It was really interested for me about diet because I was thinking about diet. It seems stoic diet, so I will take some exercise. :)
