I Used To Think But Now I Think

    I used to think that bullying was hurting someone physically. Now I think that bullying is any way of hurting someone. I used to think that that

the bully bullied because he was raised wrong. Now I think that a bully bullies because he feels powerful or to make him look good and so much more. I used to think when a kid got bullied he got over it in a day or two. Now I think that it last years and sometimes life. I used to think only teens

bully. Now I think that all ages bully.
