I was interested in reading the "Friend Game" by Lauren Collins. I was interested in reading this particular story because it talks about a particular tragic incident that happened between a boy named Josh Evans and an innocent girl named Megan. The incident was that Evan was a made up guy by people who bascially have no life and like to make fun of or in other words bully those who are vulnerable like Megan. Unfortunately, because of the "hostile messages" sent by that boy she committed suicide. I personally think that is wrong and sad that people would do such a thing to hurt others. It is like they have no remorse, no heart, no consideration about how one might feels, and they do not think how they would feel if someone did that to them. Threatening, teasing, and humiliating someone, especially in public lowers an individual's self-esteem. As a future Earlychildhood teacher i want to teach my little friends early in life the concept of bullying being inapproprate and it can hurt someone's feeling, and can lead to the extreme. We must be gentle, caring, and cautious of what we say to others, and if needing advice there are professional helpers out there who can talk to the individual about any problem they might have whether its with themselves or with someone else or with a group of people. Key phrase to think about: Do not trust others, do not talk to strangers, and do not put your personal business (Life) out there for others to see. Some people like to take advantage.
