Dear Editor of the Star Tribune:
I am writing you because my class at St. Cloud State University wants us to get involved in speaking out about education since all of us in the class are planning on becoming future teachers. To get involved as teachers you cant just accept change sometimes you have to stand up and fight for it. There are many passionate issues to talk about with such a broad subject as education but I found out one that I am very passionate about that is really taking us by storm. With the recent deaths from the two teenage girls in Marshall, Minnesota teens committing suicide from being bullied, this is one topic that we must address before we lose more lives. Bullying has always been around in schools but students today are really going out of the way to torture their fellow students. I feel that parents and teachers need to say something if they are witness to this cruel stuff. However, it really needs for the students themselves to stop bullying itself. They need to stand up together and to say this is wrong and we need to put a stop to this. Everyone in the world is different but that’s what makes each one of us special. We need to start treating people how we in return would like to be treated. I recommend that every student from 6th grade on should watch the documentary bullied which really puts bullying into perspective and how hurtful it can be and how it can ruin someone’s life. We need to stop this epidemic before we lose more of our precious student’s lives. To be a teacher you must really have a passion for learning and using your heart so why is it that are students are not getting the message of using your heart. We need to try harder to show kindness to our students. We are role models and have to start acting like it. Thank you for your time listening and for writing such a wonderful paper and letting me give this cause a voice.
