Do you believe that the pen is mightier than the sword? You should because words can hurt people more than any physical weapon. I know this for a fact because I deal with it every day. It is called bullying, and everyone goes through it, just some are more serious. words cannot just hurt they can also heal. They can change peoples' choices, make them do something that they were born to do. If you could change something what would it be and what kind of change would it make?

words are stronger than actions because they hurt twice as bad when they are said to their face and it hurts way worst when it is said behind their backs . When taking about bullies everyone has a story and has words to speak  out about their story but it might not always be a good idea because it leaves the bullies to have more control over the victim which would cause self harm upon the person and may lead to the victim killing them selves and this is getting worst every single day a person is being bullies and it has turned into a pandemic too many children are killing them selves  from all ages

Words can open up doors, bad or good, and I've seen both.
I've been bullied since 5th grade, and it was painful, it hurt to just breath.
I was blinded by hate, and I was underestimated, and judged.
But then I moved, for personal dark reasons,
and I went to a new school
The school was against bullying and I thought wow, I could really like it here.
But then i saw a newspaper, and a girl had hung herself, because of ppl at that school.
It was upsetting to think, people, kids have to feel like they need to go that far, and then someone finally does something about it.
Well, i met someone, and he was nice to me all the time.
Everyday reminded me that he cared.
And even from that, i thought i would try harder in life.
Because of him, i can actually hold my head up, and tell others to think, what can i do now to make things better, not what if.
I could be dead myself if he hadn't put me first.
I was used to being pushed to the side, and i would try to tell people that i was depressed and they didn't care. Didn't listen.
But he was different, just being able to talk to him, knowing he cares, and he listens, just that meant a lot.
And now i go around helping others all the time.
I try to see the world with a open-mind.
And this may not be useful info, but i dun care. x3

I know what u are going through bc i have been bullies since the start of 6th grade and i am in 9 th grade now and still being bullies

anonymous · Answer

There are two common types of bullying:
Verbal bullying.
Physical bullying. 

Verbal bullying is easy to escape on can simply stop caring about what another person says. However physical bullying is different, one cannot simply escape it as they could with verbal bullying. Sure the pen may have potential for being mightier than the sword but in the end it is the outcome that matters. So we base it on probability. Verbal bullying is common, it happens a lot, most people eventually develop a thick skin and stop caring, this is the natural human psychology. However, physical bullying is painful, it does not end as you cannot escape it yourself, your freedom is violated. 

If I could change something, anything it would be giving everyone the ability to think before they speak, before they act, so they truly understand future possible consequences.
