Bullying is something that happens everyday. It doesn't mean anything to the kids bullying but they don't know how much it hurts the other person. This is the topic I chose for my argumentative essay, and I'm glad that I chose this topic because last weekend a thirteen year old named Rachel in Kasson, Minnesota committed suicide. She did it because she got bullied in school and the bullying got so bad that she couldn't stand it anymore. She wouldn't tell anyone about it, she acted like everything was fine and she told her family that she was dealing with it. Her family said that she wasn't showing any signs of depression but she still committed suicide. It hurts the kids even if they don't show it, the bullies don't know how they're affecting the kids they bully. If the kids that were bullying Rachel knew that she would commit suicide I don't think that they would have done all that bullying. One of the main reasons that Rachel got bullied was because her mother was homosexual, she became that way after her and her husband divorced, that's one of the reasons that they bullied her and they also bullied her just to torment her she said it got so bad that her and a friend had to go eat their lunch in one of the locker rooms. Bullying not only affects the person getting bullied but it also hurts their families like in Rachel's case where her family has to live without her now. Bullying should be stopped and I think school's and communities need to work together to stop it.
This is Rachel, she is a beautiful young girl and she shouldn't have done that to herself and her family.I pray for her and her family.
