I am in the world and wanted it rings and
I am alerted to love and gossip
I go comb my hair which begins to sparkle

IV. EVALUATION:
Direction: Read the excerpt from an essay and answer the
questions that follows. Write it in a one whole sheet of paper.

Have you ever seen or experienced bullying and the dramatic

effects it has on its victims? Unfortunately, nine out of every ten students have
experienced bullying in school or online. Many people believe that bullying is a
part of growing up and kids do know any better.

Bullies are intentionally causing mental and or physical damage to

their victims, which will affect them for the rest of their lives. Bullying has shown
that it can cause self-inflicted injuries and even suicide in America today, and
there should be no doubt that we need to protect our youth today. We need to
enforce a law that will have bullies face hard legal punishment.

They should be treated like an individual who knows right and

wrong and continues to do wrong by physically assault another student. In most
cases of self-inflicted injuries are caused by cyber bullying, which is online or over
the phone. It is horrible and it takes a lot to make someone feel like their life is not
worth living or that bringing a blade to their wrists will relieve the pain they are
going through mentally.

Cyber bullies attack people psychologically and get very personal

with the intent of hurting someone. They hide behind the computer and use it to
ruin other's lives. That is worse than physical bullying, because the psychological
scars are things that will be with the victims forever. It will affect their self-
esteem, their value of life, their insecurities and how they act socially.

Bullying does not go away after you leave school, bullying in some
cases stays with people fir the rest of their lives. The events that the victims went
through torments them for the rest of their lives through flash backs, fears created
by the bully and even seeing the bully themselves. Most victims have nightmares
and flashbacks that bring them back to that horrible time of their life and haunt
them long after school is over. The last thing I ask is to look at this from a personal
perspective. People should think as if it were their child who came home crying,
beaten, battered, cut marks on...
