Bullying

Bullying has never occurred to me, but i definitely have witnessed it. My little brother was bullied when he was in 2nd grade and i didn't know until i saw a drastic change in his attitude, it wasn't until he spoke up that the confidence and joy was once again seen on his face. Ever since, i find bullying to be the most immature and idiotic action that anyone can do. Ultimately, it is just to make themselves feel better and if they need to humiliate someone else in order to feel better, then that is pathetic. Picking on people who want no problems or have a specific trait that others don't like, is not a reason to hurt them whether it is physically or emotionally. The way to stop the action of bullying or being bullied is to speak up and not be afraid of anyone no matter how tough they may seem. If people don't speak up, then there is no possible way to give them help and stop the person who is doing this to them. You don't have to be the one being bullied in order to speak up, because you can help a person who is getting hurt by telling them to speak up or even a simple bystander can ask for help in regards for another person.

My Admiration for 8 Mile

8 Mile is my ultimate favorite film, because it describes the life experience of Eminem, my favorite artist, and how he struggled a lot with drugs and poverty just to make it where he is at now. The first time I saw 8 Mile I was in complete awe. I could not say a word as to how wonderful it was to me because it writes Marshall Mathers’ life story extremely relative to how it happened, except not with so much description as to all the drugs and things he was affiliated with. This film is not my favorite simply because it stars Eminem, but because it painted a picture of what it is like living in Detroit, Michigan with poverty and putting one’s blood, sweat, and tears into escaping a miserable living habit. The environment that he was in was not by choice, it happened to be that their father left and his mother could not afford to give him and his brother a luxurious life, so it depicts the struggle of falling into problems with the wrong people or even having nothing but a pair of clothes and the struggle of keeping a job even when in the worst scenario. Ultimately, this film obtained my appreciation by demonstrating that with the right amount of effort, dedication, and aspiration to become something better in life can come true you just can’t give up and not be a quitter.
