                     Welcome 

This is my blog called School…….The Drama this is what I’m writing about; the drama in a school. I’m doing this for school so I have a guiding question and it is this: how do we survive school? Honestly I don’t know how we do but there are some things that go on and like bad stuff there is bullying, peer pressure, grades, backstabbers, fights with family and friends, rumors, relationships, really everything. Surprisingly people hate these, don’t care, and love all these things. I know, hard to imagine. Lucky for you I am here to tell you everything about that! No school is perfect not even close so these are the stories of middle school the drama.

Bullying, we all know it happens and we see it everyday at this school. Sometimes it effects people differently some like in My Bullied Son's Last Day On Earth Jaheem Herrera was bullied and ended up committing suicide because of it.he was being called gay and ugly and "the virgin" because he was from the virgin islands. the main idea that this person had was to inform about how bullying can kill and it is a very bad thing. the accuracy in this was very reliable and this is from CNN and that is a credible source. the quality of the evidence is very good because it can even show the emotion.The author hates bullying and thinks it has to stop because her son is dead because of it. The purpose of her article is to inform people about her sons suicide. There is no conflicting evidence in this article ans also no stats but it does have a bias and slant towards bullying is bad.

How bullying can be good
My last post was about how bulling is bad. Today my post is about the good side of bullying. In this article it is saying that bullying can help someones development. In the article they did a study and then it showed it boosted popularity in kids and self esteem. The purpose of it was to inform that bullying isn't all that bad and it was a other blog surprisingly so it is someones viewpoint of it them self. there was conflicting evidence because it was also saying that it is one of the most stressful experiences in childhood. The view point is that bullying isn't so bad and the main idea is to prove it. the person had either looked up or interviewed other people on their say so i think it is credible. So that is a view point saying bullying is good.

Everyone knows the stories of a person who was bullied being tormented every day. Do you ever think what the bully is thinking? In Confessions Of A Bully  Argo Donkey admitted to being a bully and said it was because he bullied people who thought they were better. He never bullied special needs kids only jocks because they thought they were stronger and geeks because they were smarter. He wished he could go back and change it and make things right. Bully's have a point of view in it too. The main idea was to inform people what the bully's thoughts may be and the purpose was to inform people of that view point. I think it is a reliable site and the information is first hand so i trust it.

Conclusion
         i think that bullying is always going to be a bad thing. I know the bully will always have a reason whatever it be, but it still isn't fair to hurt someone because of your own problems. In my first post about bulling i told you about a 11 year old kid who committed suicide because of bullying. Bullying needs to stop, it shouldn't be an option it needs to end so more people arn't lost or tortured through someplace like school or the Internet or their phone where it should be safe for them.
