Journal 7- bullying

In the act of bullying, there are many effects on the bullier and the one being bullied. I think that bullying definitely effects the one being bullied a lot more than the one doing the bullying. I think that one of the biggest things that effect the person being bullied is the mental aspect. If the person who is getting bullied lets it get to them, it could really upset their head. In my opinion, one example from the book The Crucible by Arthur Miller would be when Mary Warren is in the courthouse with all of the girls, including Abigail, and the other witnesses and people involved. Mary Warren is trying to tell them that the girls were pretending to be involved with witchcraft. It was all just a game, and Abigail was the starter of it. She is the one to blame for the girls making up stories and blaming other innocent people for acts of witchery. Because of the fear Mary Warren had of Abigail, she had kept it a secret that they were pretending and made up stories with the rest of the girls. This took Mary Warren a lot of courage to stand up for what was right. When they did not believe her, the men of the court decided to bring in the other little girls. Abigail was still the prominent one. When the judges asked Abigail to tell the truth, she pretty much freaked out on Mary Warren. She and all the rest of the girls started to pretend that Mary Warren was casting a spell on them. At first, Mary was defending herself and calling them out on making it all up. The girls would not let up and as Mary Warren got more and more upset, she gave in to the pressure the girls would putting on her. Mary told Abigail she would not hurt her anymore, even though she really did not do anything.
