Watching it all go down

I'm lucky enough that I don't get bullied very much, but I can't say the same for my sister and best friend. They've been bullied for almost 3 years now. To help, my best friends sister made a blog, so did I but I thought I could do better. Recently I just read a blog that my best friend made. In it, she spoke out about how she was being bullied, and the reason why she never told anyone. When ever someone was bullying her she didn't want to say anything to get herself into trouble, so my sister, another victom of bullying, would defend her. It made me proud to see her stand up for others. I also defend the two and to be honest, I'm surprized that the teachers don't do anything util we go and complain to them. They watch it go down until it gets out of hand. And it doesn't end when school does; Cyberbullying is way up this summer. My best friend is being picked on through the internet and it surprizes me even more that the parents of the bully never see what they posted online. And the bully thinks it's funny. Really bullying or cyberbullying is not funny at all. How it's funny to hurt others, I'll never know, the pain it causes, I do know. It's vise versa for the bully though. Somehow this becomes a hobby for them. Yes, we can never completely end the hobby, but we can still try. Don't be the one person, who instead of doing anything, just Watches it all go down.
