Being mean or Being a bully?

 To know if someone if being mean or just being a bully gets confusing to some. So a lot of people just throw out the word "bully" at anyone. That's not the case though. To be mean is if someone is talking about you or if a teacher assigns you homework being mean is if your boss decides you're going to work your whole weekend. To be a bully is to actually physically hurt someone, like slapping, punching, or stealing their things. I also believe if a rumor is spread about someone that's being a bully. If you're bringing that persons self esteem down in any way, shape, or form that's being a bully. There is a huge difference between these two words that people need to understand they have two totally two different meanings. In the website " thebullyproject.com" some students are experiencing what bullying looks like and they express what it feels like. Some students experience students being mean to them by calling them names.

Thoughts on Miss America Pageant 2014

 After reading the unkind comments about the new Miss America Nina Davuluri, i did some research on what people were saying and why they were saying this. I have come to a realization to which our generation is still immature and making racist comments. Some comments on twitter were: "Why is she Miss America when she's not even American?" Comments like that i don't understand because there are people who come to America to get a better life and most athletes aren't even american but yet we still cheer them on. A good percent of out ancestors aren't even American but we don't blame them for coming to America. What i believe are some people might just be saying these negative comments through jealousy. Miss New York is very is a very talented women and i believe she is a generous lady who understands the problems of america. People should be judging Nina based on what she will do and how she cares for america not because she is Indian.
