"Some things you just don't forget"-Matthew Berry

In the article "Some things you just don't forget" by Matthew Berry, we as the reader are exposed to a personal connection to the whole Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin incident of the 2013 NFL season. Berry provides personal insight on the idea of bullying and gives a fairly accurate reasoning for how it played out. In his own life, and millions around the world, his childhood was plagued with bullies. It was and always has been a part of his life. One of the main problems with bullying is fear. Its the fear of being the tattle tail. Its the fear of what will happen if you do tell an authority figure.  This fear alone is enough to ruin someones childhood, and as scary as it is, nothing will change until you do something about it. Stick up for those you love or what you believe in. Fight for it, do whatever it takes to ensure your well being. This, in the eyes of Matthew Berry, is the only way to stop a bully and lead a long happy life.
