Your jokes arnt funny...
I have something very important to talk about today. So please listen...
4 years ago Amanda Todd committed, 1 year ago Jade Staples committed suicide, a few months ago my friend Jamie committed suicide. But do you know what they all had in common? They were all bullied for who they were, for what they did, and they all self-harmed.
Bullying isn't a joke, it hurts more than you think. Bullying leads to self-harm or self-destruction. Then they have enough of it and committee suicide. They got to a point to were they started feeling worthless, not good enough, stupid, ugly, ect. They felt like no one cared, if they just disappear no one would notice. But they were wrong, we all noticed. Everyday I sit and wonder how people can be so mean, how they can hurt others.
When you make a joke about people being fat or ugly, you might not notice but it does hurt some people more than you think. Don't make jokes about self harm, eating disorders, or suicide because you never know what the people around you are going through. You might think its all funny and just one big joke. But think about this for a minute, what if your brother or sister committee suicide? How would you feel? Would you finally realize your joke isn't funny? Is that what has to happen before you stop bullying people? I mean come on society, wake up and realize bullying isn't a joke. How many more people have to committee suicide before society realizes suicide isn't a joke?
Jade Staples was one of my really good friends, that night when I found out was the hardest nights ever for me. I remember sitting in my room talking on the phone with my boyfriend while I was going through Instagram. I saw a post on Jade's best friends page that said she was gone. I got off the phone with my BF and I sat there shaking and crying. I could barley breath, I didn't know what to do. All I could think was why? Why her? People bullied her to the point of suicide, Jade just gave up on life. All because of bullies...
Is your joke still funny?
