Well, I wasn't intending to read it, but I was researching on special days.
I researched on my brother's birthday, and there was one about this guy, who was a victim of bullying. His name was Jared High.
It's a sad story. He seemed like a nice kid. There was a bully in his school, and gosh, the kids in our school are nothing compared to him.
Jared was punched in the stomach so many times, he would just keep puking at home. The bully just kept violently beating him. The description seemed freaky enough.
He couldn't sleep, because he was too scared.
When the principal called Jared and the bully into the same room to talk about it, Jared said it was his own fault, because the bully had threatened to kill him. Jared is about half the bully's weight, and 6 inches shorter than him.
For a long time, Jared kept puking for no reason, he couldn't sleep, he heard voices in his head, he suffered from depression. The puking was because he had been punched and kicked so many times in the stomach.
His self esteem plummeted after the incident.
It amazes me how the bully, who is of the same age as Jared and I, 12 years old, could be so brutal.
What made me so sad was that Jared took his own life after being bullied.
Yeah, it was that bad.
Jared killed himself.
He deserved to live. He could have been someone amazing when he grew up, but we'll never know.
I used to think the bully talks at school were a waste of time. I realise now the consequences of bullying can be terrible.
And it's not only Jared, there are a bunch of kids who killed themselves because of bullying.
Because of the bullies.
I'm telling you guys, bullying is horrible. Don't ever do it.
Just key in 'Jared High' in google search.
You'll be able to find his story.
Psychologists have a word for people taking their own lives because of bullying - Bullycide.
I really, really, hope there will be less bullies in the world.
