Cancer Survivor Commits Suicide
Angelica Salazar 1st period
This article is very upsetting because it deals with a small, little girl who took her own life because of the worldwide issue of bullying. Bethany Thompson, a 6th grader at Triad Middle School, was a fierce winner when it came to deadly cancer. But because of many treatments, her smile turned crooked. Not only was she bullied because of her unique smile, but also because of something as simple as her curly hair. The middle school started to make adjustments to the treatment of school students.
This article tells people that there are cruel students who bully others for the fun of it. It shows that as far as our country has come, bullying is still an issue. Back during the Civil Rights Movement, African American students would be bullied for the mere color of their skin. With this article in mind, students are being made fun of because of hair style and incontrollable deformalities. What does this show about the way America is progressing as a society?
