What makes someone in high school more likely to be bullied?

Oh wow I have definitely opened up a can of worms with this question....

*facepalm* This kind of ...intensity... about the topic of bullying is why I chose a different idea for my story completely unrelated to bullies. Maybe if I was a more experienced and politically correct writer, I would try to tackle it, but I don't think I'm ready at the moment.

 

“Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.” -Banksy

That is all.

 

You shouldn't avoid a topic you want to address because it makes you or anyone else feel uncomfortable. Progress would not be made if you didn't.

 

Go ahead with your new idea. This wasn't a bad one, but like any good writing, it will take a lot of research. Thornesque is write. Today's bullies aren't really selective Most of them just enjoy exerting power over others. Don't be afraid to write about a bully, but be careful about how you create them. They can be pretty complex characters most of the time.

I do really like your new idea, and I'm already much more interested in it as well.

 

Thanks, Andrae I've already started on the new idea, but I'm not very far yet. (Like page 4 on a Word document.) We haven't met the serial killer or even gone to the high school yet
