Chapter 6 - Love is Louder

Bullying is always something that most kids in school have to deal with.

today many of us try our best to make this world a better place and first, ending violence and raising awarness

The reason i am talking about bullying is well

..
because this chapter

talks about this issue, as many of you know the ribbon for bullying is a purple ribbon and the reason the tittle of this post is " Love is Louder" because love is louder is a movement that encourages people to love instead of doing the opposite because love is louder than any other thing.

As i was reading this chapter I found it interesting that bullying was also an issue back at that time period, i was also effected by the chapter and the stories because during the being of my Junior Year at highschool i had joined an anti-bullying club that had a great affect on me.

Chapter 6 explored Camaras education and it showed us the life of Camara in school, Camara attended Koranic school and then he went to a french school, he didn't consider school to be a fun experince due to the punishments that were given out. The head office and the punishments were not the only thing that didnt make the schoool experince fun, it was also the older kids in the school who had physically abused the kids because they were young. The abuse were going on until one of the kids at the school had informed his father about what was happening, which lead to his father inviting the kid to beat him up for hurting his son, and after that the word had spread out to the community and some of the older kids were scared and backed off. However that did not stop the other kids to bully Laye. After several bullying actions Laye had finally talked to his father about it and as a father he had taken action and due to the fact that the community is small the word had also gotten out.

The chapter had ended with this line: " All I know is that it was the straw that broke the camel's back, and that we were never again bullied by the other boys"
