Video 1(Bulletin Board):Cyber Video 2 (Words hurt):Social and Verbal Video 3 (Anti-bullying) What will you do?(Yesle, Grace, Jade) Bullying in the Hallway Cyber Bullying Teen Flipped-reflection Yesle: I think that the video is very realistic because anybody’s situation can be flipped. Anybody could get bullied anytime. There was a part of the video that was true for me. I have bullied one person in fifth grade. I treated him like he did not exist. The next year I was bullied by a classmate. It made me realize how bullying can ruin a person’s life. This video relates to me because my situation had changed before. I think the girl said “Thanks for being mean to me!” because it caused her to know how it feels like when people are bullied. Jade:I think that this video was kind of realistic because I haven’t really seen anyone be bullied this way but still somewhat like this just not as bad. I think the part when people would call the names and just shun you because I have seen it happen. I have seen many people be bullied but words and stuff like that. I think this relates to me because I can see what will become if u leave someone out. I think she said “thanks for being mean” because then she found out how everyone she bullied feels. Grace: I think this video was realistic, because I’ve heard of bullying like that before. I haven’t actually seen bullying to that drastic extent before though. In elementary school most of the class and I picked on this guy who had a bad skin problem and a really troublesome attitude. It was like badminton or something, a back-and-forth thing, because we’d all ignore him or call him names, and he’d be even ruder to us. After a while I realized this was so wrong and wanted to patch things up. I tried being nice but by then it was too late. We’ve never been really good friends since. I think Kristen said ‘Thanks for being mean to me’ because the pain and humiliation that she experienced helped her grow stronger and have more compassion for people around her.
 * Think before you post
 * Once you post you can’t take it off
 * Everybody can see what you post (Even strangers)
 * Words can hurt others
 * Don’t be a part of it of hurting others
 * Bullying hurt people physically and mentally
 * Every human being should have the rights to be treated equally. I think that if that I saw this, I would be too scared to be involved, but I will call the police. (Yesle)
 * I would definitely do something because it’s so unfair for them to be treated that way, but I’d probably call the police or alert someone older even if the bullies didn’t have weapons on them, because I might be scared. (Grace)
 * It’s really mean what people do when they think they’re superior to the one they bully. I think it’s totally unfair because the homeless are just like us, like the woman said in the video. They’re human beings too. (Grace)
 * I think that if I saw someone bulling someone else then I would step in. I would also call the police (Jade)
 * Bullying happens in school everywhere and all over the world. Bullying is a huge problem at school and it needs to stop. We can all help to prevent bullying. (Yesle)
 * I think the song was really appropriate, as well as involving kids of all ages and races, because it showed that bullying can happen anywhere, and anyone can step in and be a hero. (Grace)
 * I think that it is wrong to do this to someone. You may think its funny but then just wait until it turns on you and then you will see how it felt. (Jade)
