It was just normal day at school as young jimmy was walking out to go home. Standing on the front steps was Kyle, Alex, and, Michael. The bullies as everyone referred to them! They stopped him dead in his tracks and just started teasing him! Kyle started calling him mean names and making fun of him. As the next few weeks went on so did the bullying. It started getting worse as the weeks progressed. The boys would message Jimmy on twitter saying horrid things to him. Some days they followed him home just making snide comments behind him as he walked. Jimmy hated his life! He was always sad and always feet worthless! Jimmy wanted to take the easy way out! He felt like he wasn’t worth living, or breathing the air he breathed. The next day after school the bullies started up again! This time they were yelling at Jimmy. Michael started to push him and threw jimmy on the ground. One of the football players named Tyler saw them and ran up to them. Tyler picked up Jimmy and made the boys back off. Tyler was so mad because his sister had committed suicide due to bullying. Seeing Jimmy being bullied really hit him hard. He looked at all the boys and was just ashamed. He told them bullying was wrong and a terrible thing be doing. Tyler made the point that bullying can lead to the victim self harming or even death. The bullies stood quiet for a few seconds and then realized what they had been doing. They saw the pain in Jimmy's eyes and immediately felt like crap. They apologized repeatedly and couldn’t stop. Tyler then looked at the boys and said "Take stand boys. Bullying is a big deal and its nothing to joke around about! Please stand with me and STOP BULLYING!"
To me compelling means pointing out facts that make people realize what the issue is and making them understand the bad in it.
