Social awareness project #4-analysis on song

    The song "Mean" by Taylor Swift is about the social issue bullying. You can tell because in the song, the lyrics say, "You, you with your words like knifes and swords..." It shows that the bullies' words are weapons against the other students. You can also tell because it says, "You, picking on the weaker..." That shows she means bullies because bullies pick on other kids that are less confident in themselves.
   I think that the message of this song is that being bullied is hard when you try to ignore them. But sometimes when life progresses, you might find yourself being successful while the bully might not be as successful and that bullies are harsh to their victims. I know because in the song it says, "Someday I'll be living in a big old city and all you're ever gonna be is mean." Another way to show about the meaning is that the lyrics say, "Some day I'll be big enough so you can't hit me, and all you're ever gonna be is mean."
   This song makes me feel that bullying may be hard to handle, but it will be alright and the problem will be solved. This song also makes me think about Taylor Swift's childhood and her experience with bullying, and how she felt about it. Knowing that she had some kind of motivation to the song, "Mean". It also makes me feel sad for victims of bullying and a bit hopeful that they might end up more successful than the bullies.
