My Thoughts on Bullying

When I was younger, I've never really understood the reasoning behind bullying someone. As a kid, we felt lost. But even now as a young adult we still feel lost. Being bullied can happen to anyone, there are no limits to aging, but there are limits to stopping. When I was younger a girl once tricked me to become friends with her friends, I was so naïve, I didn’t know how life worked. So there I was at a field trip across the street from my old elementary at a park thinking that I finally made more friends but then the girl, my “friend” just runs up me and throws water at me. For others life was already taught to oneself, they already know the consequences, but others like myself know nothing. But even now as a teenager, or even adults we still question, why do people bully? We are only human.

My Favorite Movie


My favorite movie is the “Fault in Our Stars."The story that was written in the book and movie speaks of cancer but not only of cancer and sadness; it brings appreciation to ones heart. I really like how the director started off the movie with a teenager named Hazel Grace (main character; cancer patient) saying a monologue of her life, but instead of her speaking about her having Cancer, she says the whole opposite. She mentioned how her life was perfect and so on, until when she says “I’m just kidding” then suddenly, BOOM, the movie screen blacks out and the story of her actual life begins. I also like how to story seems real, Cancer is real, sadness is real and even love is real but even though this movie wasn’t based on a true story. It made me realize how short life is. they convinced me to believe that it was based on a true story after I felt the water in my eyes.
