I had noticed that since we are educated in a Christian school, bullying is often taken for granted. Most of us had been raised in a community where almost everyone fears the Lord and maintain high moral standards. We would hear lessons about treating others nice and obeying God's Word over and over again that they become so cliche and lose their real message. This essay is my message to the people who are neither the victims and the bullies. The following are a several things that we could do to help out the people around us:
1. Keep God's Word in your heart and not just in your mind. If you fail to do so, you tend to be stubborn and ignorant. As i have mentioned earlier, some lessons in life lose their real message since you've heard it so much times. It is probably because these lessons are just kept in your heart but not in your mind. Yes, you may know it but you might not understand it. Issues like bullying must be taken seriously. It is probably the biggest problem that the youth faces today. 77% of all students says that they have been bullied and 14% of which experienced severe consequences. Before we can help out effectively to others, the gravity of this issue must first be understood.
2. Be sensitive to the feelings of others. Sometimes even the tiniest of all insults can hurt a person. Think about it. What if this certain person has already been experiencing a lot of problems at home? What if his mind is already so weak? Saying or doing something offensive, even though you may think that it won't matter, might take a big toll on him. Imagine that you are carrying a load of rocks and then suddenly someone throws a pebble to your head. So if you see that someone is having a bad day, cheer them up rather than doing the exact opposite.
3. Go to adults for help rather than handling things by yourself. Adults have more experience and they know more things in life than we do. Never be afraid to approach them. Report a bully and also let them talk to the people who had been bullied. Never ever be a bystander, just watching and waiting things to happen. We must all act now and get involved.
Well, i hope that you may remember these things and simply just spread the love to everyone in this world! Remember also that you should stay positive and believe in God for change and for a better life for everyone.

Bullying awareness. like a boss.....
I shall admit that i was once a bully, but now i am really sorry for that and i regret everything because that person now turns out to be one of the people that i adore the most. i really do not want to mention her name but by the end of this blog it will be very very obvious who. i just don't want to say her name so i can give her a cool codename in this blog. LOL. So now i will call him or her HUGO WEASLEY. Why Hugo Weasley? Because the name Hugo appears in Ben 10 in the episode entitled PARADOX and it is a very very cool name because it reminds me of British people. Now who is Hugo Weasley? Ask krisa.
ANYWAYS...... Hugo came in Victory when we were all in the sixth grade. Just days after she came in, she destroyed her reputation that she didn't even have. Gossip spread like wildfire and almost everyone in the 6th grade found her gross and annoying. We used to call her George and "it". We would count her out in every fun thing that we did and we begged not to be with her in group activities. We made her cry almost everyday. But the thing that amazes me about her is that even though 99% percent of the class hates her, she ALWAYS made huge efforts to be nice to everyone. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!!! she told us that in her old school, she was treated way more badly than we ever did. she said that she was treated like poo and she even wanted to take her own life. But that is just the past now........
Now, she is very happy. I can see it in her eyes, yes, i can. She always carries a smile and at the same time her beloved iPad. OH YEAH AND FOOD. its like that her lunchbox never runs out of food. I THINK IT's MAGICAL. Oh yeah and we call her Santa Claus for that. We also call her Physically Fit because she personally proclaims that she is and she likes to run with her chest out. TROLOLOL. She is the most generous and gracious person i know. We still joke around with her but now we are more sensitive about her feelings. I care about her a lot just like everybody else. She is awesome. She inspired me to be more optimistic in life and keep in mind that things make things occur in your life for a very special reason. And also, if God closes a window he opens a GATE!!!! Hugo has a heart made out of sheep wool and believe it when i say that i would take a bullet for her.

Rap has awesome sideburns
YES, RAP HAS AWESOME SIDEBURNS. Though his haircut sucks and he looks way older with it (not to mention that he has lost his "baby bird" look) his sideburns are awesome because they remind me so much of Patrick Stump, the lead singer of Fall out Boy.
ANYWAYS...........it is weird for this blog is actually about my sem break. I KNOW RIGHT! I am so not updated, but i absolutely feel the urge to blog about my sem break. Actually it's just that i remember teacher layla saying that we are required to blog about this topic.
Unfortunately, all i remember from my sem break is that i read Harry Potter 7, which i borrowed from Richmond. The book was AWESOME and in my opinion it is the best among the entire series. And also some of the people in class had a PARTAY in thirdy r's resort. Well, pretty much those were the only things i can recall from sem break that happened about 2 months ago.
