My Thoughts on Bullying

Bullying is something has has been going on for years. Students suffer from verbal, physical, and emotional abuse. In my case, I haven't been a bully or been bullied, but I have witnessed it. It is an awful sight. The older, bigger student pushing the smaller, younger student around and putting them down. Not only have I witnessed it, but almost every student has witnessed some sort of bullying, whether it is pushing, verbal abuse, or spreading rumors. But the way I see it, bullying only happened because the bully is dealing with an emotional problem. Kids aren't born as bullies, they become into them. For example, a student can be dealing with problematic parents who don't care for him or her, and the student just wants to release all that sadness and anger, but the way they unchain themselves is by bullying another person. Another example is when someone spreads rumors or a rude comment about someone, when in reality, the bully envy's that person and is jealous of what the victim has that they don't.

My Favorite Movie

My favorite movie is Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. This movie came out about a month ago, but it is still my favorite one. One of the reasons that I enjoyed this movie was because the plot aligned very well with past movies. It fit with past movies and it went along nicely. Another reason I like this movie was because of the nature of the apes. The way that they communicate and talk with each other was something I found very interesting to watch. Another reason this movie is my favorite is because of the action. The apes learned how to fight even with the weapons the humans used. Finally, the last reason I enjoyed the movie was because of the personality of Caesar. He was a leader and father, humble and generous, but fierce and strong. He is, in my opinion, the best leader in any movie.
