Bullying–––––It happens everywhere on every corner of the Earth, even beyond. Even though the Phoebe Prince being bullied to the point of suicide is a true story, and the bullying of Margot was fiction, both cases are similar. Phoebe was ostracized by the popular "Mean Girls" simply because she was new and briefly dated a popular football player. Margot was disliked because she remembered life on Earth before arriving at the raining Mars. The "Mean Girls" wanted to teach Phoebe her place, the children on Venus wanted to prove that Margot was wrong, that she did not remember the sun. The "Mean Girls" taunted Phoebe, they harassed her and assaulted her. The children locked Margot in a closet when the sun, after seven years finally showed itself. Margot was deprived of seeing the sun, Phoebe was deprived of her life.

Imagine a world with only rain. Day after day, watching the raindrop pour from the sky with no sign of sunshine. That is the life that people lead on Venus. Thankfully, Earth is much less rainy than Venus, however some places on Earth do have extremely high precipitation levels, though I doubt it would even be half as much as the endlessly raining Venus. Studies show that the wettest place on Earth is a village in India by the name of Mawsynram.The average precipitation amount per year is around 467.35 inches, or 11871 millimetres. The closest we will ever get to the endless rain on Venus would be there.
