The Bully's Perspective

Irock1103 takes a look at the other side of the story.

It's just like any other normal day in school, and there is that same kid getting picked on. Some may feel sorry for him. Somebody may even stand up for him, or tell authorities. But do people ever consider the other side of the story? Bullies deserve to have a voice. They need to be heard, too. Bullies should feel accepted, not judged by society. They should be treated like any other normal person who made a mistake.

First of all, most "bullies" are victims too, whether at home or at school. They may be insecure about themselves, have been bullied by other people, or have problems at home, and decide to act out. According to Bullying Statistics 2010, 54% of students who witness violence and physical abuse at home may become bullies at school (Bullying Facts, 2013). That's over half! Half of the kids seen in society today have to deal with domestic violence, and then bring it to school to take it out on other kids, because that's the only way they know how to vent. When kids are picked on, they usually can't control their emotions, and they go on autopilot. Everyone who is involved in a bullying situation should be treated fairly, especially the bullies.

Busting Brain Freeze

Xoxkitkat reveals the frosty facts behind this common summer pain.

In this hot summer weather, there's nothing that hits the spot more than a nice cool ice cream cone! Whenever my family and I go out for this tasty treat, my dad never fails to complain of the dreaded brain freeze, while my mom and I are usually fine. So what causes brain freeze, and why do some people suffer from it while others don't? I was curious, myself, so I decided to check it out.
