Persuasive Paragraph

The rates of suicide due to bullying has increased by a major amount. Bully victims are between 2 to 9 times more likely to consider suicide than non-victims, according to studies by Yale University. Many teens have been taking their life away because they are being bullied at school verbally, physically, and even on Facebook or by texts. Six out of ten American teens witness bullying at least once a day. More than half of American teens witness other students at their school being bullied and can’t do anything. Some people think bullying is okay and just a part of growing up and everyone goes through it, but bullying can make people/teens feel all alone, depressed and scared. It makes teens feel unsafe at school and everywhere and make them not want to go to school any more. If we achieve the goal of stopping bullying the rates of suicides due to bullying will go down. Also teens will have better confidence and will feel safe, and want to go to school.
