My Thoughts on Bullying

It is no surprise that many people think bullying is wrong. I have seen bullying happen and even if i may not be the one that is being bullied, I still sympathize with the person that is being bullied. I am really against it therefore if I see it happening i step in. I have not experienced it where it gets really bad just a few comment here and there. I was taught from a really young age that calling people names is something i should not do. I was taught to respect others no matter who they, what they say, or how they treat me, I am the better person. I really, really find bullying disgusting. It sickens me to know that there are people out there who find joy and humor in hurting another person. What goes through there head? What is the reason? The bully must have something going on in their personal lives that bullying others makes the feel better. Or as simple as they just want to be funny. I truly believe schools do not do enough. Yes, there is that one poster where it says to stop or the detention hour or suspension but none are really making a difference. I feel as if they should really go more in depth on the punishment. Not hit them or anything just get them where it hurts the most, their ego. I do not know what schools should do but i know for a fact that giving detention, suspensions, or calling their parents is making no difference.

My Favorite Movie


I believe for everyone it is almost impossible to be able to pick a favorite movie. For me it is really hard to pick a favorite movie because right now I have two favorite movies. One is a movie that i do not think many people my age have see it is called August Rush and the other I believe most people my age have seen it, The Fault In Our Stars. Let's talk about August Rush. I absolutely love August Rush, it is an amazing movie. I believe that the film had an amazing plot and every scene was well shot and it had beauty in it. August Rush or Evan was a musical prodigy. He told people he can hear the music and it will lead to him finding his parents. The actors portrayed their characteristics very well and they each were very special. Whenever I watch this movie, I feel so calm and the music is beautiful. Every song in this movie is just amazing. I love the fact that the mom played the cello and classical music while the dad played the guitar and rock music. The mixture of those two made really beautiful wounds. I love the fact that they mixed to types of music genres together. The Fault In Our Star is my other favorite movie not because it is a love story but because it shows how hard people with cancer have it. I am sure the book doesn't justify how hard it is but it gives an insight. This is one of my favorites because of Augustus Waters. He has such a positive out look on life and it is amazing to see how even though he is dying he still manages to have a smile and joke about him having cancer. It impacted me because i truly got a feel on how cancer can ruin someone but Gus, even if he is just a character, he showed that it is possible to have cancer but have a positive attitude and not only that but experience love even if it is the last time.
