Bullying in school and why I'm for it

Not to mention actually having something to back it up with! I very intentionally made this debate knowing the lack of evidence in my favor merely to test my personal opinions weight (turns out they are very light! ) I will simply submit this round knowing the odds are not in my favor and I will not ask for a pro vote. I for one an just having a blast with actually debating people more learned than me so that I may become well learned in turn. But enough of my pretentious ramblings. I'll simply use this round to defend some of the pointe ive made First of all yes my points have been opinionated in the extreme I know this and honestly didn't even attempt looking up facts to support it. (if there are any to find) I would also try to say that I an by no Means a wordsmith of any sort and have attempted to the best of my ability to dispute my opponents counter claims. Though I must admit my opinion in the subject has not changed I applaud my opponent for the points he made and if I hadn't already picked a side on this issue I might even be tempted to side pro based on his debate! Hormones may not have been the best example of impulsiveness I could've written down but it was what I wrote and I'll defend it the best I can. mental development and hormones both have a large impact on decisions of youngsters now the only real point I'll relate between the two is that as the body grows older your thinking becomes clearer due to A: mental development and B: many hormones decrease in production as we age. now I believe that hormones have a great deal to factor into the thought process and as we age our minds (hopefully) become clearer. I truly believe that an extremely large majority of people have considered suicide. Even if just for the briefest of moments I believe many many humans have considered ending it all, and yes this is based off of personal opinion my entire argument is I never stated that it was based on fact of any sort. Yes this was an admittedly poor analogy especially when our context deals with humans who are not men at all but teens and children I apologize for adding a forced and unnecessary quote in my argument. Again I never stated it was a fact merely a personal opinion that I hold. I also think that maturity would most likely be a large factor in decision making skills. I never said it was right I said that acts of that nature happen everyday. It is only one of many harsh realities of the world we live in and the way I see it you have two options to consider you can either become a hitler, or a Stalin, or a Saddam. Or you can see men like these for what they are because denying a fact does not make it disappear. There has and always will be evil l, god has to have a devil etc etc. Again I disagree that this argument is nihilistic I agree that bullying is bad but where I believe we truly disagree Is to whether it Is neccessary. Perhaps a better debate title would've been "the necessities of bullying" but I digress. If you truly want an answer I believe that bully's have a great purpose as an obstacle that people should need to overcome. My contempt is simply held for those who decide it's easier to give up than press on. Clearly someone who doesn't value their life enough to fight for it doesn't belong in our world. (and no I do not mean physically fight) Depression is a serious thing and that's another thing that I believe many humans have felt that overwhelming sadness. The kind where you just know it's never going to get better I'm decently sure many of the people reading this article may have felt it in some way at some point. That still does not account for giving up part of being a human is struggling on when things are at their worst. Yes depression can lead to alcohol abuse, drug abuse, Suicide depression leads to many thing but only when you let it consume you when you let it eat at you like a maggot in a festering wound. No I'm not saying depression is a choice but giving up is definetly a choice and it's one I despise. 6/10 how many of those kids came back? Getting pushed to the brink isn't a choice either but once you get there you have an ultimatum let your antagonist guide you over the edge as you jump or push back. I think that those who push back those who return from that brink are outstanding for not letting the world defeat them. .. But those who let themselves be pushed over? I have no pity for them. As far as I'm concerned they are simply bodies to put in the ground and forgotten. As for bullying taking lives. .. bullies don't kill them. The bullies dont load the gun or tie the noose that person the second they slip on that rope or stick that barrel to their head Thats deliberate. It's their own choice you could right down any number of facts, figures, or studies that say I'm wrong. But after all Is done which one pulls that trigger the bully or the victim? I'll conclude my argument now with the fact that I did not use any other information for this debate other than what I already knew or believed. I'm not asking anyone for votes vote for whoever you think is right in the situation. I don't feel the need nor do I expect to win this debate but it has been a great one if I may be so bold. Many thanks to all of you especially my opponent who had given my mind enough to chew on for a few days. Also thanks to anyone who viewed or learned something from this formal exchang of ideas and facts.
