Jaison highlights that "hurt people . . . hurt people." This means that when a person is hurting someone else or participating in the act of bullying, that person is themselves hurt. We treat others the way we are often treated. When someone yells at us, we learn to yell at others. When we are hurt, we react to our pain by hurting others. When we see someone in the act of bullying, we should change our perspective from seeing bully and victim to seeing that both are victims of painful circumstances. Though there are consequences for bullying, if we can see why it’s happening, we can make a bigger difference in everyone's lives. A person who is hurting someone else may have themselves been hurt. They are then dealing with that pain by inflicting the same emotion, label, or pain on another. Evaluate the argument above, and explain whether you agree or disagree. Provide evidence and cite textually why you do or do not support the idea that "hurt people . . . hurt people." Now share a personal story or a story about a friend or family member who has experienced this and what you can do to help. If there are any statements that you disagree with or that are open-ended or unclear, share your opinion and explain it.
