Bullying is such an important cause to me, it hits me in the heart just hearing the word. Bullying causes innocent kids to take their lives away. One of my friends was bullied and commited suicide not to long ago. It should be adressed through social critisism because the word needs to get out! People who do bully need to realixe what they are doing and understand how wrong it is. Kids are taking their lives over rude people. By recgonizing the problem maybe we can fix that problem.
