What social issue are you passionate about? Why?

“Bullying. While I think that a majority of people accept that bullying is bad, it’s a deeply complex issue that’s been hyped by the growth of social media and the anonymity of the Internet. Bullying affects so many people and leads to an alarming amount of self-harm and suicides in middle school and adult students, because a lot of people, staff and administration as well as students, don’t take bullying seriously enough. I’m passionate about it because I hope that if more people are intentional and passionate about the subject, then awareness will be raised.” —Abby
