Bullying: The Silent Epidemic
Paragraph Writing by Aya Ayash (9 C)

   Bullying is a serious global issue that affects mental health causing an individual to commit suicide and suffer anxiety. To begin with, bullying can be a tremendously painful experience for young people since it gives them the feeling that they are alive only to get insulted and are deeply weak so they end up with the idea of committing suicide to escape that reality. For example, Brodie Padlock, age 19, was an Australian waitress that died after jumping from a multilevel carpark, her suicide was attributed to serious workplace bullying. Another disadvantage of bullying is suffering from apprehension, where a person feels unaccepted, isolated, and withdrawn. He or she always wonder how they can do better in enhancing relationships and escape a bully’s notice. A bullied person gets frightened once he or she is in contact with anyone, fearing that they would bully him or her for what they think of, their background, or what they do, which increases their insecurity. For instance, 33% of students at some private schools are being bullied because of their beliefs or religion .Finally, bullying threatens the lives of people due to its various psychological disadvantages ranging from anxiety to suicide.

Superstitions: A Spine-Chilling Place             “Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived.” This quote implies and asserts that science cannot solve the mystery of nature that is because, in the latest analysis, human beings themselves are a part of that mystery. Mystery school, or in other words, superstitions are not just some type of mind trip, but they are the science of tomorrow. The biggest gap in one’s life is what one knows and doesn’t know. Life is a mystery, faith works like a riddle. No one really knows what lies behind the voices with no bodies.
