Girls Bullying Story and Affects on Others

A boy who has just written a letter to Santa, asking him for no toys, but just for his twin sister to stop being bullied at school.  The boy writes in his letter that we wanted a remote control car but that he doesn't want that anymore.  He continues to tell that his twin sister is being harassed and bullied at school and explains that is not fair.  At the end of the letter then boys asked is a band called ‘Big Time Rush’ could come to their birthday party and talk to the girl and perform a song for them.  .  When a reporter from CNN news first saw this letter he was touched by it and wanted to fulfill his wish and contacts ‘Big Time Rush’.  The reporter says he understands what the girl is going through and about all the terrors of bulling.  The reporter goes on and explains how he was bullied to as a child for being overweight.  He explains how the bullying got so horrible he had to drop out of junior high school and was then home schooled.  He really does understand what bullying is like so he got Big Time Rush, who have a show on Nickelodeon to come to the twins birthday party.  The fact that the reporter would do this for a girl that he doesn't even know really moved me.  I was also bullied in middles school, and although it wasn't as bad, I remember coming home from school almost every day crying to my parents.  Bullying has a huge effect on kids and the outcomes can be very depressing.

Big Time Rush wasn’t the only people to contact the family though; many other people have contacted them as well, asking to donate gifts and money to them.  It is really amazing how the unkind behaviors in some people really bring out the kindness and caring in others who are willing to help out.  Although all these people are asking to donate money and gifts to the family, the mother is not accepting on bit of it.  The mother of the twins says that she doesn’t want people to think it was about the money or gifts.  She just wants to help her daughter and have her story be told to help other children and families with the same problems to help them be strong and stick together.  Many other people who are also famous have contacted the family as well.  After CNN put the story on their website it became very popular and was soon broadcasted.  The mother and children have already been on “Good morning America”.  Many others have contacted them as well, popular show including “Dr. Phil” and the “Today Show” have contacted them as well and want to share their story with the world.  The mother says that she isn’t used to all the attention but throughout her daughters’ story getting known; but it has shown her the good in people and how much people really do care.

The twins said that they are even seeing changes in school already.  The boy even tells his mom after school one day, “Mommy, I have new friends”.  Teachers and other workers at the school also are helping the girl that was being bullied and making sure kids are being nice to her, disciplining kids who aren’t.  At first, the family said they were embarrassed by all the attention they were receiving from everyone, thinking that measures were being taken a little too far.  Even the daughter was angry that they were receiving all the attention from her story, becoming frustrated.  She didn’t know what why she was receiving all the attention until she had talked to the Good Morning America producers.  She hadn’t a single idea that her brother had written the letter and was touched when she found out.

Story’s like that are very touching to some people and cause them to do a lot of good.  The fact that because of one girl being bullied got the attention of CNN, Dr. Phil, Good Morning America, and several other people and shows really comes to show how people really care about others.  The sad truth is that there is still a lot of kids bullied every day and there is nothing we can do to stop or help every single person.  The most we can do is to try our best and get peoples story known.  Once people truly understand the hurt and pain bullying causes to someone, they will want to help in any way possible.  Therefore, getting this girls story known and her caring brothers’ love for her reached out and touched a lot of people and wanted them to help stop bullying.

There are still several kids being bullied every day, I see it or hear about it every day at school.  It may not be someone being bullied to the extreme but is still happens and hurts people.  Bullying is not so much physical pain nearly as much as verbal abuse.  Name calling and other acts that kids do to each other every day is what people see and they become used to it, and accept that it happened when they really need to understand that it is not okay at all and needs to stop.  Cyber bullying is also very common in today’s age.  With social media sites and cell phones, people can be harassed at anytime of the day without even being face to face with the person.   That’s the problem with today’s people is that more people are becoming used to it and accepting it than people who want to stop it because it become so common being seen every day at schools.  I think whenever someone sees it they need to not be afraid and step in to help the person even if they do not even understand the pain that it causes to the person being harassed. Everyone can make a difference and everyone should try.

Not everyone understands the affects on people who are bullied and what it does to their lives.  Almost everyone is bullied at some part in their life, even I was as a child in elementary school, but there is always someone who has it a lot worse than you do and most kids can’t come to understand that.  People can be bullied so much that it can even drive them to hurt or even kill themselves.  In fact, there was a kid who was bullied so much that it drove him to kill himself and they ended up making a movie about it.  Just like the girl who was bullied at school and was interviewed by CNN, Good Morning America, and other shows, they wanted to get the kids story out to help people understand what it is like.  Also the impacts that it not only has on the person being bullied, the effects it has on their friends, family, coacher, teachers, and everyone else who knows the person.  Bullying has become a huge problem all around and they only way to stop it is to step in and help, even if you don’t know they person, you never know what good you are truly doing and the impacts you are making on their lives.
