Every year tons of people are bullied throughout middle schools and high schools. I feel that this bullying has to end before someone gets hurt or hurts themselves. People go to school and just think that bullying is harmless. Well the people who think this are wrong. In this month alone I have had to read four articles about teens committing suicide because people were either bullying them physically or through the internet. One of the articles I had to read about was the death of 18-year-old Tyler Clementi. Tyler was a bright student at Rutgers University, and he was outed by people on the internet who called him gay,  which eventually led him to commit suicide. There have been three other events such as this one this month, including 13-year-old Seth Walsh in California, Asher Brown of Texas who was also 13, and 15-year-old Billy Lucas of Indiana. With all of these people committing suicide over people bullying or teasing them next time you or about to engage in bullying think how it could end with either you getting hurt or someone else.
