The social issue in my book is violence(bullying) & Social Discrimination .

This page describes in terms of what happens/ why being bullied, how the victim feels and how it effects then such as mentally and physically. Currently on the website they give you many options of how you are being bullied and what can you do to "get over it" or receive help. I chose this link because in my book the protagonist "Phillip" is being bullied and threatened every day because he has a disorder. Making do things awful choice that were lead by bullying.

The link i provided above is a highly popular video over 10 million views, the video relates to what people would do if they saw an act of bullying g basically in the video it turns out that there are some people that would help and there are other that would walk away. And those who video tape it. Getting ack to the point, i recommended this video because in my book what i've read so far no on e has ever thought to help him except he brother but other than that people completely ignore it
I looked at both of your links and I think you did a good job relating your social issue, of whatever you have read so far, to the links. As just like you said that the protagonist "Phillip" in your novel was bullied because he had a disorder, similarly the first link you related to this issue was appropriate as it had all about bullying, from the definition to different types and conflicts. It also states the risk factors and the effects. Moreover the video that you linked shows how people react differently when bullying happens in front of them was a good way to support your issue of social discrimination as it showed how majority ignore the incident, just like you said with Phillip. You did really good.
