Deep Water

While over 80% of people in the US get bullied, William Douglas had an experience that made him never want to swim ever again. In Deep Water, William went to learn to swim, but that was a big mistake, because what he got a life changing day. Even though all he wanted to do is swim, William landed in a life or death situation.

Although that happened to William, he’s not alone, because most of the United States of America has experienced something like this. But this wasn’t the same. He actually wanted to swim. But when he tried, it didn’t turn out well. Afterward he felt frightened, the only one who doesn’t know how to swim, and different.

William was different, seeing that he saw yellow water, getting darker the farther down he goes and some force was pulling him down. It turned out a bully pushed him and since he didn’t know how to swim, that’s why he had all those “feelings” of him being alone.

It’s very sad that so much people get bullied, but we have to deal with it, because nothing is going to change. Nobody knows why kids are so mean, but that’s just a question that not really anyone can answer besides the person who actually bullies someone else. William learned how to swim eventually but he will never forget this horrifying event.
