Attacked By Bullies by Carlos Walcott
Preston Deener, a sophomore at Brunswick High School was just about to give an interview with a local television station about his experience about being bullied. Just before he was about to do the interview, he was attacked by bullies. The local telivision station, known as WHAG, was just getting the camera ready to interview him when suddenly, three boys began to start hitting Preston and chasing him across the street. The lady who was about to record Preston was shocked that the boys started bullying Preston, even with her standing there and yelling at them. Preston's mom said that Preston has been bullied since sixth grade and has also been a victim of cyberbullying on the social network, Twitter. Michael Doerrer of Frederick County Public Schools told WHAG that a full investigation is under way.
It sickens me to know that there are people out ther bullying kids in the worst ways, and even have the gumption to do it right in front of an adult. It's people like those three boys that cause people to become suicidal or not even show their faces anywhere. Bullying is an issue at every school, and it needs to be stopped.

I think bullies should go to jail like the rest of the criminals.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's sad. And very ironic that he was just about to do an interview on bullying! I wonder if the bullies knew that, and that's why they jumped him right before. Either way it's sad kids should have to deal with it. It should definitely be stopped.
