Why, why, why?
Why? Why are people bullied? Why is someone called "fat" just because they aren't the size the media wants them? Why are people called "freaks" or "weirdo" just because they aren't necessarily in the "in-crowd"? Why is someone called a "fag" or "fruitcake"? These words should never be used to define someone! We see people everyday saying things like "Hey, amazon!" or "Yo, sunshine!" because somebody is taller than average or their teeth aren't perfectly white, but yet we don't say or do anything to stop it! Why? We need to take a stand! Not just to bullies at school but to the media, to society! How, why did it ever get this far?
