Bullying... one of the things I too have had to overcome while growing up. No matter your social status, lots of children do not speak up against this. Dealing with this problem with equanimity is hard for more than one. I know what if feels like to have an anxiety bordering depression on  due the abuse of a few folks. Besides, have I seen injustices even from school principals in which they defend the aggressor instead of the victim. Most of the time, people who do bad deeds have to count the cost of their actions. Nonetheless, some other times  they do not. We know for a fact that there are different kinds of bullying: At work, in school, etc. Further, we also know that there are recalcitrant people we have to deal with every day. It may be due to our work, routine, among others. Ergo, we have to be smart in each situation.  Back to school settings,  we should make sure unfair decisions made by people in authority must be contested. Furthermore, troublemakers who refuse to change should be weeded out as well. Despite the fact that I have already talked about this topic, I wanted to reinforce what I had already said. Not to mention, that nowadays the word has spread even more to prevent this epidemic to stop. Not only in countries such as the US, but also in the third world. Anyhow, I also wanted mention that I ran into this TEDtalk on bullying. This poet, Shane Koykszan seems to have kept his fingers on the pulse of what it means to withstand bullying. Since I am majoring on education, it is also my responsibility  to be aware of this issue. Not that I am going to work my fingers to the bone to solve it alone. Be that as it may, at this juncture of my life. I think it would work well for me too to express what I believe orally as well as in writing. Lastly, I would like to say this talk will surely buoy up your spirits. Shane also highlights what it means to grow up being misunderstood by adults. For instance, I remember my family apart from private colleges visiting my school, ultimately encouraged me to make the wrong decision about what I wanted to become at an earlier point in my life.
