Question # 2 Bullying

[timmy333]

What is Popularity? At times its something kids spend years chasing. Some times it ruins kids life. At time it can be dangerous. Other times it can make kids school life great. In all popularity can make or break you. In 19 minutes the big reason why peter ends up shooting some students was because he was bullied by a certain click. The click being the popular stud group. That’s when things can dangerous in school because you never know when the victim of the bullying just cant take it any more.
These groups and clicks start at very young ages. I can speak from experience because I came to my grade school as a new kid. I came in not knowing one person. Within the first week I could already tell the different clicks. The cool kids. The cool girls. The athletes. I think that peter was one of the kids that did not connect and make good friends. I couldn’t imagine dealing with bullying and no friends for a month, but peter had to deal with it for years. I think that is what made him crack.
In my opinion I don’t think every one can be popular. If everyone was popular there would be no such thing as uniqueness. Every one would try to blend in and everyone would look the same. The reason for different clicks is fro people to define them selves the way they want. If every one were popular the world would be dull and grey.

I love the last paragraph about uniqueness. This is really great and really true. Popularity does ruin peoples lives while it ruins others.

That was a really good essay. The whole thing is true and most high school students can realte to the clique's statement. I really liked your last paragraph. It was very true and exact. I also like when you said "In all popularity can make or break you." becausae it true but i also disagree with it because even if your not popular you cna be yourself and feel good about you self instead of making you depressed.
