In this wordle, I used the
following words: Suicide, guilt, death, murder, youth, school, bullying,
harassment, mourning, law, felony, crime, self-harm, pain, loss, victim,
remorse, criminalization, humiliation, torment, life, punishment, teens,
violence and emotional. About a third of these words I chose to represent
bullying itself, such as torment, teens, violence, self-harm, bullying, harassment, school, and youth. I
think those completely describe the key aspects of bullying, hitting on the
locations, affects, and feelings. I
chose the rest of the words with the intent of relating to elements of crime
and death, which is what I’m trying to tie into the topic of bullying. I chose those sadder terms to make people feel
an emotional or empathetic relation to
my topic.

No One Cares until Death
I
believe that this post relates to my topic because it touches on the bullying
subject and the violence and death that can happen because of it. The first three people/students in the
picture are stating what has happened to them regarding bullying. The first person states that they are bullied
on the bus, the second is bullied in school, and the third online. The final
person says no one cares about it until “it’s Columbine”. Columbine is a
reference to the Columbine High School Massacre. Referencing it in this cartoon is showing
that no one cares about bullying until it brings death upon multiple innocent
people. It ties into my argument because
it shows that bullying can cause people to kill others or themselves, and that
no one acknowledges bullies until a death occurs. What is your belief, should people acknowledge bullying before it leads to death?
