Hi everyone,
Basically, my idea for an essay is about when, as a new kid in middle school, I got caught up in a group of mean kids. It’s about how I was a bystander and didn’t do anything and just watched as other kids were bullied and how much I really regret that and how it changed me as a person. The “gimmick” (if you can even call it such) of the essay is that I compare myself to an inanimate plant in my room the whole time.
Is this a good idea for an essay? I know it may seem like I was complicit in an act of bullying and such which is the reason I’m hesitating. Personally, I think my essay has a good character arc and ends with good things, (what I would say to those that were bullied as I watched, how I still remember them, and how the memory made me join student ambassadors in high school, etc). Let me know what you think. Thanks for reading!
