Teasing - Teasing is when somebody makes fun of a person because they know that they're different and they want others to know that too. In general they are joking and they mean it lightly so that others will laugh along with the person instead of at him/her. Though, most of the time, the stand biers are also laughing at the person as well. Teasing is in between Joking and Bullying.

Joking - Joking is when you make fun of somebody. They can have a victim and sometimes not. Makes fun of someone who is different. They think that they are joking. Teasing can be good and fun but it also can be harmful.

A Bully - A person who harasses. Someone’s with low self esteem. Bullying happens repeatedly. Boys bully physically, socially, verbally such as rumors. Girls: Emotionally, verbally, socially and mentally.

Bulletin Board: We saw a video in health and we think that the video is trying to say that we should ALWAYS think before post pictures or personal information because ANYBODY can access it no matter how hard you try to get rid of it. This is about cyber bullying..

Words Hurt: What it is trying to us is that words can affect us in many ways and it puts people down and makes them feel bad. You should always think before you speak to someone because you never know when you're hurting their feelings. This one is about verbal and social bullying.

Take My Breath Away: Bullies bully because… To try and get others to like them. They’re unhappy. They don't like who they are. To hide their own fears. They want others to like them.

What would you do? If I were walking along the road and there was a homeless person being beat, I would go up to whomever was beating the man/women and try to help. If the people were hurting the homeless person verbally then i would step in and give them a piece of my mind. I would tell them to stop what they're doing because it's wrong and that the homeless person is just a human like us. If the people who were beating the homeless person were using a bat or something dangerous, then I would call the cops instead of stepping in because I would be too afraid that the people would get mad at me and start chasing after me.

Bully in the Hallway- This type of bullying is called social bullying because students are being hurt verbally and being ignored and not noticed. It's happening in many places. Around school, in the community where the person lives, at the basketball court and etc. When I saw this video, I felt so bad because it is different here in ISB. Bullying isn't that serious here because if we do bully we don't do it to the extreme. The music's lyrics fit with the theme because the words meaning were about how people feel when they get bullied.

Get Real- This movie is about the stories of bullies and those who are bullied. The video shows how people are both physically and verbally abused. It shows the different bullies and how each one bullies other people. And it also showed how people who were bullied by their siblings at home turned into bullies at school because they thought it was normal.

Teen flipped- Was it realistic? Yes. Though at ISB bullying is not that common. Some people still do get bullied though, but no where as bad as it was in the video. Its also realistic in the way that even today kids who get bullied react to it, and even sometimes violently like what happened the Virginia Tech Shooting What part of the video was true for you? The part where everyone would laugh at he girl or boy when they walked buy. Has this ever happened? Yes. I've seen bullies being bullied and they realize that it actually hurts them and it doesn't just bounce of their skin and everything will be okay. Have you ever watched someone being bullied? Yes. In school sometimes in the hallways when a kid is walking past a group of people snicker at them or laugh really loudly and say their names so that the person who is walking by knows they are talking about him/her. How does it relate to you? This relates to me because I've seen the affects of people bullying other people and how these victims are affected. Though most f the time, victims are affected mentally instead of physically, which makes bullies feel that they are not being hurt, which isn't true. Why did she say "Thanks for being mean to me!" She said it because it helped her understand and realize how bullying affects people. If she had not been 'flipped' then she would have never changed and would have continued to bully others.

Smoking: What I noticed about my cigarette pack - I noticed that the name is Lite, sort of like Coke Light and so this implies that it is healthier for you. In Coke, there is less fattening stuff and in cigarettes it implies that there is less harmful chemicals, which is not true. It turns out that Lite cigarettes are worse for you and they're more expensive.

The effects of Drinking- Alcohol related car crashes are the number one cause of teenage deaths. When we were using the glasses that made our sight the same as if we were drunk, we felt very unstable and ended up being about a foot off of the line. The glasses also made us bump into many things and we realized that if we were driving while drunk, we would hit a lot of things and maybe we would injure ourselves.
 * Physical**: Messes up your sight, brain is flooded and shrivels, if you drink a lot, your liver will eventually stop working and shrivel up.
 * Social**: You become hyper and more outgoing, you make 'stupid' decisions.
 * Emotional:** You can become depressed,angry violent. You can become energetic if you don't drink as much.
 * Mental**: Your brain is working slow, so then it is late to make decisions. Basically alcohol slows your brain down.

The part which impacted us the most was part where the parents and their children were reading their letters to each other. It was really sad to listen to what the parents and children would say to each other if the teenagers had actually passed away. Also another part was when the policemen told the parents that their children had passed away. The mother especially, would start to cry whereas the father could hold it in longer or he already knew that the policemen was coming to their door.
