Summary: A 15-year-old girl was arrested in St. Petersburg, Florida for supposedly sending several hundred threatening texts to three other 15-year-old girls. These threats can be considered a form of bullying. CNN isn’t releasing her name but the teenage girl was charged with three counts of aggravated stalking and one count of tampering with a witness, according to a Thursday statement from police.
Many of the text were death threats
and according to police, she sent some of the texts, but not all of them. Police
detectives interviewed the girl Monday and told her to stay away from the
victims. She continued to send threatening texts, prompting the tampering with
a witness charge, police said.
Analysis: Bullying
appears to be a major issue in teenage life these days. It happens when someone
feels like they are superior to someone else and makes that other person feel
bad. Bullying may not seem like that big of a deal, but in some cases it can be
a huge issue. In some cases it has even led to suicide. It is very sad to see
bullying cases happen, because it is something that could be happening to you.
It can ruin your self-esteem.

I agree everytime I turn on the news I hear about a girl killing herself over bullying, it's becoming to be a huge issue nowadays.
ReplyDeleteBullying seems to always be an issue which is sad to think that some people would really want to make others feel so horrible. Hopefully these people will be able to learn from these mistakes.
ReplyDeletei dont get why people find it rewarding or even okay to bully another person. we all have challenges and hardships in our own lives, we dont need other people to hurt us for no reason. I wish teenagers weren't so driven with emotion, so we wouldn't worry about what the next insult out of our mouth should be. It seems like now a days teens have certain mental issues, like honestly they're are too many cases of bullying or teens and school shootings for no reason its ridiculous
