What is power?

Power comes in many different forms. There can be government power to just plain power over a sibling. Some people might have more known power. Power, well its known to bring people up as an over-achiever or bring them down... Dramatically. Most of the people in the United States know how power can seriously effect all people. But power just doesn't have to come in the form that people can manipulate, it also comes in objects that can make a difference in a person's life. Such as, maybe and iPod. People that listen to music love the iPod. It stores their favorite music and they would probably be really sad if they lost it or broke it. Besides that, I'm going to discuss teen power in school. Many want power or popularity. It makes them feel better about themselves but there is a down side to being powerful. If you mess up or do something that the less powerful people think is wrong, you might be knocked down from your status. The more popular someone gets, the more likely they will be talked about in good or bad ways. It just depends on the person.

Bullying

Most people wonder why others bully others. Most say it’s for the fun of it, others say it’s because they just don’t like that certain person. But the main reason for bullying is that the bullies are insecure of their selves.
There are no specific reasons for bullies and there aren’t fully explanations either. So some people think that the reason for bullying is for the fun of it. Sure that person might get entertainment from that incident. But they really never think about how that will affect that other person either. It’s sad to see someone die over bullying and the more bullies bully for the fun of it, it just gets worse. The other reason for bullying is that the bully just doesn’t like that person. Well that doesn’t give them permission to bully that certain person. Especially if the bully doesn’t even know the person they are bullying. Like, if the bully has only seen that person and made a judgment of that person already before they even knew who they were.
The main reason for bullying is that the bully is insecure about themselves. They think they had no other way to be respected by others. They feel that the only way for people to like them is through bullying. But that isn’t the answer. Find people like you, who will understand you and listen to you problems. They will listen and care for you so you don’t have to bring someone else down for your flaws and yes everybody has flaws. Even the “popular people” have flaws.
No one should be insecure of their selves and result in bullying. That’s why the main reason for bullying is that the bully is insecure of themselves one way or another. They need to accept who they are and where they come from and if they think that they need to bully others, they are wrong for doing it.
