The term euphemism refers to polite, indirect expressions which replace words and phrases considered harsh and impolite or which suggest something unpleasant.

Euphemism is an idiomatic expression which loses its literal meanings and refers to something else in order to hide its unpleasantness. For example, “kick the bucket” is a euphemism that describes the death of a person. In addition, many organizations use the term “downsizing” for the distressing act of “firing” its employees.

Answer:

I’m going to be talking about bullying. Bullying can make someone feel sad, emotional, can have suic*dal thoughts, cutting, and su*cide, and many more feelings that are almost impossible to describe. I’m going to talk about how different bullying can make a person feel. Bullying is a threat to some people; it can also be abuse. Depends on what kind of bullying it is. For example, there are 3 different types of bullying like Physical Bullying, Emotional Bullying, and Cyberbullying. All those types of bullying can change someone’s life easily. I mean it’s bullying, the words people say to a male or female can cause them suic*dal thoughts.  People these days have to think about what they are going to say before they say it. Bullying is when someone causes a threat to others. Sometimes there is abuse bullying where someone can touch a person or hit them for the fun. There is also internet bullying where they could call you someone else names on the internet, which is not right at all. And finally, there is emotional bullying where they tell or call you something that can get to your mind and suddenly break down. All these types of bullying have to stop now!

don't think you can actually give out 270 points but...

good luck :)

i hope this helps
