HELP WILL GIVE BRAINIEST AND 15 POINTS. ANSWER THE QUESTION DOWN BELOW AND IF YOU GIVE A SILLY ANSWER I WILL REPORT. HERES THE QUESTION AND PLS ANSWER IN A PARAGRAPH WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE HAVE A HARD TIME SHOWING COURAGE? GIVE AN SPECIFIC EXAMPLE TO ILLUSTRATE YOUR RESPONSE.

Courage, its the ability to do something that frightens you. There are many things that you need courage to do like speaking up, trying new things, and facing your fears. Courage is often required to do a lot of things in life. Courage can be a hard thing to express though. Sometimes your fear can bring you down and your too scared to do anything about it. Fear is the chain preventing you from leaving your cell and you need the key of courage to escape. Its hard to show courage because you can be afraid your wrong or will do it wrong, that you won't be good enough, or maybe fear of judgment. People like blending in nowadays, we have to be like everyone else in order to be accepted. That plays well into why we won't stand up and say "Your wrong". People are afraid of failure. What if you stand up to a bully and they start bullying you instead? There are many factors to add in when trying to determine why someone won't stand up for you or why we won't go up on stage and give a speech. Courage is a hard thing to have for most people and a hard thing to find in this world. Not everything is black and white, what's wrong or hard for one person might not for another. If you do have courage, grasp onto it tightly and try not to let go, because only a few people truly know how to posses something as rare as that.
