It is scary that there is so much bullying and discrimination in our world today. I think that the only reason people discriminate each other is because their own life is bad or they are jealous. The reason I think that a bad life could cause someone to discriminate someone else is because someone with a bad life wants to let out some anger and blame someone else. I have personally never experienced discrimination from a person with a bad life, but when you look at news articles and bullies in general they don’t have it well off. The reason I also think that jealousy could because discrimination is because if you
know someone who has something that you want you get you get a tiny bit mad. The
perfect example of this is the short story "All Summer in a Day" when the Margot gets to go back to Earth where the sun shines most of the time and the rest of her class has to stay on Venus where it is always rainey. The news article Phoebe Prince's Suicide is another example where jelousy happens because Phoebe dates a popular football player and all the other girls also want to date him. These are the reasons for discrimination and why it can cause serious problems.
