Literature - Bullying (Man's Inhumnity to Man)

We all know bullying is wrong but we all do it anyway. Each and every person has bullied someone at least once. It could be as simple a s name-calling. Everyone has done that in their life. We always have assemblies and speeches about bullying and how it is really bad but after those speeches, we don't actually take action. I mean, we would probably stick up for our friend is he or she needed it but most people probably wouldn't stick up for someone every time they see someone getting bullied if they don't know the person. No matter how many assemblies and speeches people have on bullying, it is probably never going to stop. For example, in Slake's Limbo, Slake always gets picked on because he is an easy target and is poor. Another example how Robert always gets picked on because of his appearance in the book, The Wave.
