STOP BULLYING!!! Hello, every being with a heartbeat! How are you? I've been fine, but this new project of mine made me a little upset. Today's topic is something that almost every single human being experiences at least once in their life. Bullying. The Merriam-Webster dictionary describes bullying as the abuse and mistreatment of someone vulnerable by someone stronger, more powerful, etc. As we were given a task in our class, we chose to raise awareness about this issue.

We gathered here again to say our goodbyes. I have had amazing times writing for you and explaining things to you. It has been a short journey this time, yet it was filled to the brim, I believe.
