The Revealers

The Revealers Blog Writing Topic Blog response Instructions: Answer the questions in complete sentences, proper English and use examples from the novel whenever possible. Put page number after your examples. When writing comments to your peers, be respectful in your language and about their response. It is okay to disagree, but do it in a polite manner. Blog Question: Is bullying a rite of passage of childhood and adolescence? Is it apart of the maturation process one needs to go through to reach adulthood? Explain. Mrs. Hogeboom brings up this topic on page 108.

When every kid grows up, they all have to go through a phase in life. One of them is going to school, making friends and meeting new people. But students getting bullied is a different story. Children have to face a bully in their life in some point of time. They could be bullying you verbally or physical. From my perspective I think that bullying is just a right of passage, because when you grow up every has to face a bully, you can't escape it. But all those who have been bullied in their life time, the memories will last forever. On page 108, Mrs. Hogeboom is explaining about kids and how they will need to face cruelty and violence, when they grow up. There has been a known fact that bullies bully because they feel that they are the more dominant than others. So to conclude this, Bullying is a way of life, it could happen to you anytime, so when your in a situation like this. You should tell a teacher so they'll take care of the problem.

Your post is a good one, and I can see why you think what you think. I agree that being bullied is ineviatable, and it will happen to you in some point of your life. What im a little confused about is in your last part you say that that "all those who have been bullied in their life time, the memories will last forever." Doesnt this sort of contradict what your were saying in the first part? Also what sort of contradicts your first part is when you say you should go to a teacher. If it is a rite of passage, shouldnt you solve your own problems? Apart from that it was well thought out and written.
