I believe everyone has experienced bullying in some way in their life. This is an important issue because it can lead to negative self-image and even possibly cause death. Some bullies go too far and physically hurt people more than intended. They can also hurt the victim so emotionally that some victims of bullying commit suicide. It is important that we address this issue and stop the violence and abuse especially in schools.
I created this poster in an effort to make people aware that bullying is an important issue and we must stop it. That means not only not participating, but also calling it out when we do see it. “Squash It” means to put a stop to something and is represented by the squashed bug on my poster. I choose red for the type of “Stop Bullying” because I wanted to stand out and be more dramatic.
Bullying connects to the Holocaust because Hitler was a bully. He tormented many people based on ignorance, insecurity, and hatred. These feeling also fuel bullies in our schools. We can learn from the Holocaust and truly see how horrible bullying truly is. If we end bullying in the schools we may be able to prevent adults that bully and harass. We have seen what can happen if people like that go unstopped.
