When people get bullied, it really affects them. Think about a time when someone said something negative about you. You were probably upset at some degree. Well, other people are affected by negative comments. It is really sad when someone is picked on all through school and no one really realizes that when they join in on that, they are adding to that persons hate for themselves.
When people hear constant criticism from the people around them, they start to believe the negative comments. This leads to a low self esteem and eventually a self loathing. This is very destructive to an individual and is devastating. This person's self image is completely damaged and they will never get over the ridicule.
Just think if someone was bullied long enough that his or her self image was so corrupted, they decided to kill themselves. What if they waited for one day, a test. A test to see if one person would be kind to them. What if no one, not even you did anything to show a little kindness, not even a smile or a "hey"?
This is why we must think about what we say or do before we do them. Our actions have an impact on the people around us, and I for one don't want to cause anyone pain like that. I want my impact on people to be a good one.
