Fitting In...

When I was elementary school student, I have one friend bullied by many classmates. He was facing a lot of problems at that time. Her parents got a divorce. Since his mother decided to take care of him, he didn't have his father. What's worse, his mother didn't have a lot of money, though she was working very hard. As you know, there exists money(salary) disparity between men and women. Men can earn a lot of money, whereas most of women cannot do. That's why both he and his mother were facing such a difficulty. He was not able to buy many clothes and TV games, so classmates was making fun of him little by little. Finally, they begun to tease him. Here is my opinion why such a bully thing happens in Japan. I guess there is one key-word: adolescent. Most of all human beings would experience the adolescent in their life. That is a process of being adult. On the process, they experience lots of things; it's not only good things but bad things. I guess to tease someone is the one of action of adolescent. It would happen not only in Japan but other countries; for example, U.S., Canada, and more. We might not be able to stop happening it. Even though, we cannot stop it, we must teach how bad it it to children. In order to reduce the number of children who are teased, we should teach it to all children and make them understand. We keep teaching until the time when children don't tease. I regret that I couldn't help him by myself because I was also afraid of being teased by classmates. In oreder to make them stop teasing, I decided to get a power when I was 8 years old. What I did was KARATE. I have still been to the place to practice fighting to protect all my great friends...I hope the number of them will be ZERO in the future...
