Blog Question: Is bullying a rite of passage of childhood and adolescence? Is it a part of the maturation process one needs to go through to reach adulthood? Explain. Mrs. Hogeboom brings up this topic on page 108.
Response: Yes, I do think that bullying is a rite of passage of childhood and adolescence, when you are getting bullied. But I do not think that it is a necessary rite of passage for someone who
is a bully. Although I think bullying is not a necessary rite of passage for a bully, I still think that it is a part of maturation process one needs to go through to reach adulthood for both of the bullies and victims. Bullying is a rite of passage of childhood and adolescence for a victim, but not a bully, because bullies don't learn anything by bullying. But victims learn a lot of thing when they get bullied. They get to learn how to solve their own problems. Bullying is also a part of maturation process one needs to go through for both the bullies and victims, because
they both learn a lifetime lesson. The bullies learn a lifetime lesson of making big mistakes, such as bullying, and the victims learn a lifetime lesson of solving their own problems, such as defending themselves when they get bullied. These lessons they learn, they get to use it for the rest of their lives.

Yes Ishraq, I definetely agree with you that bullying is a right of passage for a victim but not a bully because he/she doesn't get anything from doing that. Nice comment!
