Daily Journal #7

Well, I do not approve of bullying.  Of course the victim is going to be effected more than the bully, unless the bully has a huge guilty conscience, but that is usually quite rare.  However, I would not know because there is not much bullying in this school, so I am making ridiculous assumptions based off of movies and TV shows, like every single show about school on Nickelodeon. SO, victims suffer more than bullies.  They get their lunch money stolen, they get beat up behind the old gym after school, they have to do homework for other people, they get their lunch trays smacked to the floor, they get shoved into lockers between class periods, not to mention they never get the good looking head cheerleader! And that is just the physical abuse!  You can't forget all the emotional abuse they suffer from as well!  All of the victims will inevitably become depressed.  They all go home and either vent to their parents/siblings/friends or they hold it in.  You gotta watch the kids that hold it in, those are the little rascals that'll get revenge on you later... All the bullied kids are also scarred for life!  They are not just going to forget that traumatic of an experience, even if the bully apologizes.

The bully, on the other hand, will most likely not suffer nearly as much as the victim.  They may feel some guilt, maybe even a little bit of regret, but if the bully is never taught that what they are doing is wrong, they could then grow up to become this big super bully.  They believe that they can still use force and brutality to get what they want, but of course we all know that isn't true.  Those are the arrogant bullies though!  Some bullies do in fact have a guilty conscience.  They beat up some nerdy little guy for his lunch money after school, then they go home and sit down and think about what they have done.  Then the guilt just eats away at the back of their mind until they lose it and either go apologize to the nerdy kid or relapse into beating him up again.  Also if a bully is ever caught, they could get in some big ole trouble.  They could be expelled, which looks absolutely atrocious for college and resumes.  So really, bullying is just all-around terrible for both parties.
