 Bullies are Criminals (Abridged)

Bullying is a constant problem in schools today. We’ve seen it

happen, and a lot of us know how it feels. People might say they are
just ignorant kids, but bullies truly are criminals, stealing self-esteem
and at times ending lives.
First of all, bullying is a crime because of the serious effects it can
have on an individual. Diane Dimond wrote on her blog, “And once
robbed of their self-esteem, they can suffer from mental and physical
problems, drop out of school and even commit suicide.” No one likes
SLIDESMANIA

the way insults feel, and this is why bullies are criminals.
 Secondly, bullying can end in a tragic death. Though it does not
happen often, it has happened. The usual even is suicide of the victim,
or a violent act by the bully that may end in murder. Bullies are
criminals; they terrorize and harass their victims, ripping apart their
self-esteem and attacking their insecurities until the unthinkable
happens.
Bullying is abuse. Bullying is a criminal act. Bullying needs to
stop! We need to stand up to bullies and not let them strip us of our
self-esteem. Bullies must face the consequences of their actions with
SLIDESMANIA

either therapy or some version of criminal punishment.

 1. What is the topic of the argument? Is it clearly stated?
2. What are the evidences presented? Do they strengthen the thesis?
Are they from credible sources?
3. Are the arguments and the conclusions drawn valid and logical?
4. Who is the target audience of the essay? Will they be able to
understand the writing and word choice?
SLIDESMANIA
 Mix and Match
Read the given thesis, and then choose from the table two valid and strong
arguments and three accompanying evidences that would support the thesis.

Thesis: In times of a pandemic, and in a place where discipline is not part of

every citizens vocabulary, a lockdown is still the Philippine’s best option to
keep the coronavirus disease under control.
SLIDESMANIA
 Arguments:
1. Limiting the movement of people in public spaces minimizes the spread
of the virus.
2. A lockdown compels the leaders to prove their worth in extending
public service.
3. Staying at home allows for a much needed bonding time among family
members.
4. Imposing curfews and window hours help ensure public order and
safety among residents.
5. A time off from public spaces allows the environment to heal itself.
SLIDESMANIA

6. All countries who successfully contained the virus implemented a

lockdown.
 Evidences:
1. At least 7.3 million Filipinos lost their jobs because of the pandemic based on
the record of the Philippine Statistics Authority.
2. According to a study by the University of the Philippines, there is an 83
percent decrease in Covid-19 cases during the implementation of the lockdown.
3. Philippine National Police record shows that crime rate dropped to 55 percent
during the lockdown period.
4. The ozone layer was reported to have recovered, and Manila Bay is a lot
cleaner now.
5. Former health secretary and dean of Ateneo School of Medicine Manuel
Dayrit said, “Not imposing community quarantine will risk a Wuhan-like
SLIDESMANIA

situation.”
 Think. And find the
answer for
yourselves. When a
person stops thinking,
that’s the end of
them.
