I think that some people in this world are cruel because they don’t get enough discipline or attention when they are younger and eventually think that they can do whatever they want, being cruel might be something they never got scolded for, therefore when they have come to an appropriate age, they will not understand their wrong doing. I think that we can end cruelty by teaching them more about how it can hurt, and that you can get in serious trouble for the actions you do, or may cause.
I think people are cruel because of their childhood. Maybe they were abused, spoiled or mistreated and that's how they would treat others. That's probably all they know, everytime they are cruel, they look back to their childhood. Although it isn't their fault they had a terrible childhood, being cruel is also a choice. They can choose if they want to be mean to someone and make fun of them. Also, another big part of cruelty is peer presure. They feel like if they aren't mean to someone they aren't cool. In my opinion, peer presure has to stop. People feel presured and forced to do something that's wrong and mean. I really want to end cruelty, it is extremely wrong and pointless. Maybe if we make people more aware of what they do to the person when they are mean to them. Or learn to except everyone around us.
I think cruelty starts when people become mistreated or don’t get enough attention by each other. It’s always easy to attract bad attention but good attention is harder to attract. That’s why people usually try to attract bad attention, since it’s less work to attract. Once we start to do bad things and no one ever stops us, we might think our bad actions are ok and we’ll keep on doing it. Though it’s actually the bad choice to do and since no one stops those people, they can get influenced to do more and it can become a bad habit. I think we can end cruelty by rethinking all of our actions before we do them. Before we speak or do something bad just think about it, is it the right choice or is it the bad choice. Hopefully we can all realize what the best and positive choice is and finally end cruelty.

I think people are cruel because other people were cruel to them. A lot of times when someone is bullying you or being cruel to you it is because they were once bullied themselves. When someone is being cruel it could be because they just don't like the person at all. Because maybe that person did something bad to the bully. Then the person who is being cruel will do whatever it takes to make the victim's life miserable. This can also happen when the bully has no friends or does not really fit in. They bully,gossip and say mean things because they want to be cool and fit in with everyone else. I think that this is not the best way to fit in. Maybe if people started being nice instead they would have even more friends. When you are cruel and mean more people will dislike you. -Erin
I think people are cruel because they weren’t taught manners. They need to be disciplined and now right from wrong. I don’t think they were born like this but their parents didn’t teach them properly. Also they may be cruel because they are unhappy in life and miserable. They also might be depressed because people are rude to them and they are just angry and let it out on the wrong people. I think we could end the cruelty if your kind to someone. It’s going to become contagious and maybe they might start treating people better. For some people the cruelty could have never started if they were just taught how to be kind to one another.
I think people are cruel because they are insecure about themselves. For them, being mean and rude to other people makes them feel better about how they appear to others. In my opinion, I think we can end this cruelty by being happy of who we are. If we were made a certain way, why change that? I think we all need to accept who we are and then we won’t be mean to others. Sometimes people don’t even realize it, but they are taking out their anger from their own problems on others who have done nothing to them. Julia Daniele
Your blog is the epitome of perfection! I can’t agree more with what you blogged about! Everyone should accept who they are and not take out their anger on someone who hasn’t even done anything! Awesome blog!
Just like the meme says, "Cruelty might be very human, and it might be cultural, but that doesn't make it right". Everyday you hear about somebody doing this cruel deed towards someone else. People are cruel for many different reasons. Jealousy, difference in skin tone/culture/religion/gender, government and so on. It still doesn't make it right. An example that we all know isn't from our generation but from the generation of our parents or grand-parents or great grand-parents. The segregation of the black population is an excellent (in a 'good example,bad events' sort of way) example of cruelty. The black community was poorly treated. Spit at, sworn at, jailed for no reason, beat. All acts of cruelty from the white population. They may have thought their motives were pure, but really they were just being cruel out of fear. The black community never did anything to the white community besides protect them selves and sometimes retaliate(which by the way was wrong, to retaliate in violence I mean). Cruelty is wrong because of so many reasons but that doesn't stop it from happening. We can't take great leaps to start the ball rolling. We must take baby steps at first, and start rolling the ball together all the while till the end if we really want to diminish cruelty. I won't say that we can be rid of cruelty because that would be a lie. There will always be cruelty, but maybe we could help to diminish the effects and circumstances in which cruelty is developed.

Some people can be very cruel. I think that these people are cruel maybe because they want revenge on someone or maybe they are just that kind of person. I usually find that people that are like that are usually spoiled, like Bob for an example. In the real world I also believe that they could also want revenge on someone for something. I also think that it can also be a habit. Cruelty is a terrible thing that goes all around the world and possibly grows. People should think before they do something. If they would not want something done to them, then don't do it to others. When Bob was drowning Ponyboy, Johnny killed him for self defense for him and Ponyboy. I doubt that Bob would have liked to have been drowned so he shouldn't have tried to do it to Ponyboy. In return Johnny killed him. Cruelty is a terrible thing that goes around the world and some how can be stopped. This should go for siblings too. Next time you try to insult someone or hurt someone, think, "would I like to have this be done to me?" and if your answer is no don't do it, if your answer is yes, think again. -Sophie
In my life, I can't count how many times I've encountered people either being cruel to someone else or myself. It's a very common thing to be done. Some are cruel because they are jealous, and others because they chose to be mean. One of the main reasons a person would be cruel to someone else is because of their upbringing. If they have a very bad family back round, this will likely make them very upset. Since they are frustrated with their own family situations, they might take it out on another person because they are envious of them and their situations. Personally, unless the world would be dictated and controlled by an individual, we can't stop people from being cruel but we can make a statement and show that being cruel is definitely not a solution!
Cruelty happens a lot and it’s very scary. Some people think that the people doing it are just crazy but I think that there is a real reason for why people do this kind of stuff. The main reason why people are cruel or go to war or even bully is because they want the best for themselves and the people they love by stopping your enemies. All this madness is only for you to be safer and, in most religion, have a better after life by doing what your god tells you to do even if it mean’s killing people. Animals do the same things by killing other species to survive but humans are not animals so I see no reason why humans should be cruel to one and other.
There isn’t really one specific reason for the cruelty in our world because everyone has there own reasons. It could be for money, for attention, because they feel mistreated and then they just lost it. You can be influenced by something you saw or heard or it can be for what I think is the most common reason for cruelty, revenge. You can never stop cruelty because even if you get rid of one problem there’s always gonna be another one right around the corner waiting to cause you even more trouble than the last.
I think it’s all about their personalities! Depends where they were born, how they were raised, what they have seen in their life, etc. People are cruel because of many reasons such as their experiences, their struggles, I guess you could say, it’s different for everyone. I think people are cruel because they want to protect themselves from trouble. Maybe they aren’t trying to be mean and the whole reason to why they are being cruel is so that they can defend themselves from getting hurt. People may also be cruel for the reason that they are selfish. That they only care about themselves. We can’t exactly EVER end cruelty, no matter what. However, we could always act more civil to each other and think before we do. Analyze the situation before finalizing the actions.
As the others said, people are cruel for different reasons. I think the most important reason is your lifestyle. If you grew up in a family that was cruel there is a good chance you will become cruel too. The way you grew up has an impact on almost everything. Some people are cruel because they believe everything and don't think twice before doing something. If someone influences you and tells you everyday, that you need to be cruel to people, you will become a victim of those few words (you need to be cruel). If you were brought up being told that someone is your enemy and that you need to take revenge, that idea will be there through out your entire life. Unless you make a decision to change your attitude. Some people are cruel because they do not want anyone to be cruel to them. Probably they have had experience being the target of cruelty, thus they decide to be cruel. It all depends on the past. We have to act smart and be ready for anything. You can not predict the future, so we should all accept our fate and try to make the best out of them. That is how we can stop cruelty, by being nice to everyone and accepting our lives the way they are and appreciating it all. There is always someone who has it worse you. Think about the good things in life and be grateful for them.
I think people are cruel because of past experiences. People can hide the past really well if it defines who they were before and what happened to them. Family, friends or strangers can have an effect on how you act, cruel or not. It is your choice to be cruel so it is your choice to stop. If you don't stop, well then your just making your, and other people around you's live harder and worse. Making people feel back is not something to be proud or nor be happy about. Cruelty is not just and should be put to an end as soon as possible.
Cruelty happens when somebody has a lot of hatred inside them and they don't know how to let it all out. There are very cruel people in life and there are very nice forgiving people. In my opinion I think there is cruelty in the world. For example there are wars Instead of fighting they can talk it out without loosing thousands of lives. I think cruelty is a type of offense. It can hurt you mentally if people are getting bullied non-stop that is a type of cruelty that should be stopped. We should always be nice to people and not treat them with cruelty. Daniel Carducci
So many cruel people in the world are. I don't how they can even be cruel, I mean doesn't it hurt them to be cruel on the inside? I think people in the world are cruel because they just have a rough life or they just do it for the pleasure. To stop this, the person who is being cruel should at least realize what their doing is bad, scary and mean, and they should try to stop. If not, I think someone needs to tell the person who is being cruel what they are doing wrong because it's just not good it scares other people. The cruelty needs to stop.
There are so many cruel people on this planet, but there are reasons why. most cruel people didnt grow up in a good environment and weren't taught the right thing. Cruel people most likely have hard time at home and don't know what's right and what's wrong, like Bob Sheldon. The line"things are rough all over" is so true. There are cruel people in every single place. But I do find that there is a reason for cruelty, if there was no cruel people, there would be no nice. That's the thing that stands out.
People are cruel for different reason. I feel like one of them can be a personal experience their experiencing at home or somewhere else. For instance I saw a video on girl where her parents just got divorced. So she was so depressed and needed a shoulder to cry on but there was no one . So all that sadness changed into anger and she started being cruel to everyone. I think people who seem cruel are not actually cruel. When we were born we were all the same. We were small and we knew nothing but as we grow the people , the habitat and everything that surrounds us makes as who we are. So if someone is changing into a cruel person I believe we can change them back to their innocent selves -Madurra.S
People are cruel in life because they are raised to be mean and fight for what they want. If something is bothering you and you take it all on one person the person that get's mad thinks it's a good idea and then become to cruel. The biggest of childhood cruelty is when your parents are divorced like mine and you want it to stop so you just bust out at a certain point. When you get sad you normally just think about yourself. Everyone starts off the same but then you have to choose a path and the people that are cruel chose the wrong one. You have to tell someone what you are feeling or else you will just bottle it up more. Matt Colpron
I dont think that cruelty will ever be diminished because that would involve cooperation of the whole world. I think that cruelty is everywhere. Cruelty in my opinion is the worst thing in the universe as it can effect many at one time. Trevor Lafave
