Bully A/N:
Hello. My screen name is Agent Gibbs, and the story that you have just read is called "Bully." Multiple fanfics and actual episodes of NCIS tackle certain problems in society. The one that I have yet to see (Or Read) is bullying. Bullying is a serious problem, even greater than the media leads us to believe. This is not a "Politically motivated" story, just a look at what's happening in America's schools EVERY DAY! On average, over 160,000 children stay home from school daily because they are being bullied. SEVERAL signs of bullying have been placed into this story, including self-harm, loss of appetite, lying to parents about mysterious bruises, a feeling of alienation, skipping school, declining grades, and attempted suicide.
You may be asking yourself how a person could write such graphically detailed descriptions of what happens to those who are bullied. The answer is simple: I was bullied in school myself. I am not afraid to admit it, and I have the scars to prove it. But it has made me stronger, and I have devoted my life to seeing bullying and the damage that it causes eradicated. If you have been bullied, or are being bullied, you are not alone. Someone will always be there to help you.
Even if your kids were not bullied, or are not being bullied in school, they see it all the time at school. Teach your kids to be more than bystanders. Encourage them to Stand Up and Speak Out when they witness bullying.
