The most-popular-prettiest-kids-in-school, brings all of the above things to a young teenage girl’s mind. Bully, Bullying, bullied. Imagery. I would be known as a bystander. I would watch. I would stare. I would be the one not to tell what I saw. In my school kids are getting bullied everyday. Four cheerleaders went up to this poor innocent girl and pulled her hair. She fell. She shrieked. She yelled at the top of her lungs. They kicked and punched her hard in the stomach. I gasped, my heart had stumbled as I watched. I couldn’t standby, but I didn’t know what to do. They slapped her across her face. The slap was loud. The slap was a slap I couldn’t forget. I know she wouldn’t forget it either. It had hit her like a wrecking ball. . They spit on her and looked straight at me- “If you tell anybody about this you will be next.” Then they left. That-was-that. I swallowed hard with a loud thump and my stomach was tied in a double knot.. Her faced was bruised up. Her face was red as a tomato. She looked up, straight at me, Her face was swollen as if a bumble bee had just stung her, she looked down. She tried to get up, but she fell back down like a bunch of sticks. I ran to go help her- “STOP” she had yelled with fierce anger. “I’m trying to help you please”- “if you wanted to help me you would’ve a few minutes ago...so please just leave me alone”. Trying to hold back her Niagara falls water (tears). She finally got up by herself and limped down the hall. I couldn’t move. I was paralyzed. I was the one who got hit with the wrecking ball. I couldn’t stop thinking about the words she had beat me with “If you wanted to help me you would’ve a few minutes ago.” It echoed in my brain as if it was a fire alarm went on and it wouldn’t turn off. I felt the cold air breeze taunting me. I knew I should’ve helped instead standing there and watching her get : Bullied.

Zara Western was a 14 year old girl. She was very pretty and very very beautiful. Her parents had to move because her father got a job in California. She had to leave her friends and her school. Zara was looking forward to her first day at a new school. She went to school and was talking to this boy for direction for one of her classes. And a “mean girl” came up to her and said. “ Why are you flirting with my boyfriend?, the next time you do that again you’re going to be very very sorry”. The next day the girl kept giving her dirty looks, talking about her behind her back and spreading dirty rumors about her. Everybody hated her!!!. Zara couldn’t handle it she was depressed and stressed out. She didn’t tell her parents or teachers. She soon wasn’t to be heard, she wasn’t at school she was no where. Her parents started getting phone calls from the principal of her absences. Her mother went to her room and when she did she found her daughter dead and the knife on the ground. Her mother was horrified.
