The Pros And Cons Of Bullying

Bullying is getting more and more common in high school, which increases the frequency of suicides.

As the years drifted by, I lost touch with him because we both no longer went to the YMCA in the summer due to the fact that we were getting older and his aunt no longer worked there. Even though we lost touch, I always knew he struggled with his weight and got verbally abused because of it. We had mutual friends in middle school and they always told me he was getting made fun
