Horror Films Might Do More Than Just Scare People (PB)

Last night I was at a Halloween party where we watched the movie "Carrie." I was crying while being surrounded by my friends that were not scared... at all. I seriously thought that Carrie was going to jump out of the television and kill me.  So why did I put myself through that?  Why would I watch something that I knew was going to the me nightmares for the next week?

For those of you who don't know what the movie Carrie is about, here is a short synopsis: A girl gets bullied.  Her name happens to be Carrie, hence the title.  **SPOILER ALERT**  She ends ups getting revenge on everyone at her senior prom by killing almost everyone, including her mom, using her magical levitation powers. Carrie dies in the end.

I think that the reason that I watched this movies was because, first of all, all of my friends were watching it.  I couldn't be the big baby that had to walk out of the room (peer pressure at its best), but second of all, I knew that there was a greater meaning than just a crazy teenager going around killing everyone.  Why do you think that Carrie killed everyone in the first place?  SHE WAS BULLIED.  None of the girls that bullied her in the beginning could have ever thought that they were going to die at their senior prom because of what they did to Carrie.  They never considered how the things they did to Carrie could really hurt her.

How many people really think about their actions before they actually do them?  I don't think that many people do.  People can only be hit with mean remarks towards them before they break.  Nobody should have to go through something like that.  Each life is precious in its own way, even if you don't necessarily think that about everyone in your life.  So, think before you say something that you might regret.  Encourage people.  Compliment people.  You never know, but a compliment that you give someone might make someone's day.
"Don't let anyone's hate, drama, negativity stop you from becoming the best person you can be."
