Time to be Thankful


We all know that Thanksgiving is, of course, a time to be thankful for what we have. When Thanksgiving is here, we forget about the stress of our daily lives and gather together to share our gratefullness. We have learned, long ago, about the Indians and the Pilgrams and how they put aside their differences and appreciated each other. We know about the dinner they shared together and therefore, many of us have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner of our own. Not only is the food wonderful, but also the time spent with our loved ones. Being the cook and the maid of the day isn't too fun but working together to cook and clean makes it better!

Bullying




In most instances, one might say that bullying is always a negative way of dealing with things but this is not always true. Bullying can indeed hurt and scar people for life. It can end friendships and relationships forever. It can also teach victims to face their fears, or push them into doing the right thing.
Bullying another individual is, of course, wrong. We have learned from the time we could walk to treat others as we w0uld like to be treated. Bullying is down right mean and if a person has any moral values at all, they simply know better. A bullied victim can easily be effected for life and their life can be ruined by hurtful words or actions of just one person.
Although bullying is definitely considered a negative thing, it can sometimes be a positive aspect. A bullied victim could be encouraged to fight their inner fears created from abuse. With help, they could overcome all of their fears. They could become mentally invincible!
Another positive way of looking at bullying is the peer pressure of it. A victim could possibly be pressured into doing the right thing. Maybe the bullying isn't all for a bad cause. It could be coming from a helpful source.
Bullying, overall, is a pretty controversial subject. It can be evaluated in so many different ways. Bullying is typically a bad choice and a negative way of coping with feelings but sometimes it might deliver help to someone in need.
