ReplyDeleteArticle Title: Bully allegations probed after boy, 15, commits suicide after first day of school
Article Date: August 29, 2013
Who: Palozs
Where: Connecticut
When: Tuesday
What happened: Palozs shot and killed himself the first day of school at his family's house. He took one of his family member's gun and committed suicide with it. Police are doing investigations at Greenwich High School.
Why this event is relevent: This is important, because bullying is on a rise in this country and other kids and teenager have killed themselves because they were being bullied.
Reaction: This whole situation is sad, because bullying is wrong. Nobody should be bulliied and it's also ashame that kids feel like they need to end their life because they are being messed with and bullied.
Opinion: I think bullying should be illegal, because people take kindness for weakness and when you are a nice person that is when they want to try to bully and mess with you.
Connection: I remember when I was in middle school, and two girls bullied be because I was very quiet and nice. Finally, I told my mom and dad about it and that's when they told the princapal about it. They ended up getting expelled.
