Bullying Is Never O.K.
WHS Lions Pride Original Story:
by Nadasia Pettaway
Bullying had been around for years. Some hasn’t spoken up, others has reported it. But is it getting too far if you is bullying a kid with autism?
20 year old Coran lives in Newark, Ohio, was born with autism. He likes playing football, going to school, and hanging out with friends. To fit in, he wanted to do the ice bucket challenge and instead of ice, a bucket of urine and feces were dumped on him. Ever since that day a couple of his classmates has been every day kicking, punching, throwing , slapping and picking on him. No one helps him in the videos that was recorded and went viral.
How would you feel if you knew someone with autism and is being bullied? Arin Turner said “it’s horrible.” Why pick on a guy that can’t defend themselves? Some would think autism or not, you shouldn’t be bullying at all.
Also Brittney Burleson says “I would have defended him if he went to my school. Is it different compare to a kid that doesn’t have it and is still being bully? The teenagers that picked on Coran was finally arrested and lots of people across the states and country supported Coran, and anybody else that is being bullied.
What would you do?
