My Thoughts on Bullying

    Although there are tons of ways to deal and stop bullying it amazes me how till this day still, bullying is playing a major part of society.  The fact that a child is sent to a therapist to deal with his trauma does not mean that the problem has been resolved.  What about the individual doing the harm? How will counseling the victim change the ways of the other half?  Society knows what needs to be said and done to eliminate each bully one by one and have less people become victims of the cruel action.  Yet, here we still are acting bias about the situation that is clearly in front of our eyes.  The fact that all the blame is on the bully for the harm being done does not allow you to ignore that you as well are part of the equation.  To get the bully to stop their wrong doing they need to realize that their actions are not a good will.  One must bring this to consideration and bring it to the bully's attention.  Although here we as a great society ignoring the fact that we can do something to stop it.  Instead we send off the victim to a therapist and the solution to the problem is done.  One needs to start accessing the issue directly than indirectly.  If words are never put into action then all we speak is invalid and of no wealth.

My Favorite Movie

      The Movie Forest Gump is an inspiring film that many can relate or learn from.  I personally viewed the film, as a motivating piece teaching me that no matter the situation I encounter all will play out fine in the end.  Challenges and obstacles that come and go throughout our lives only build us to become stronger and wiser. Throughout the film I realize that those issues I find to be impossible to over come is nothing bigger than anthills.  As Forest Gump demonstrates throughout the film his determination and his strong will power to do good I as well desire to help out those who need my help.  Perhaps, not through outstanding events as the film portrays but through small steps by listening to those who need to be heard out as for my cousin or my best friends.  This film not only shines positivity but it also demonstrated the truth behind the journey of life I for one do not view films with happily ever after endings as a thrill to watch.  In contrary I prefer those that portray the struggle one must face to get to their goal or achieve their desires.  Therefore, Forest Gump is one of  many films that i appreciate and consider as a favorite.
