I was actually most surprised to find that Lily was standing up to Rachel (Part 5) and that Veronica was crying from bullying experiences (Parts 5-6). If I were any of those girls, I would try to stand up for the victims. I don't care if I shed a tear of two, I would try to stand up for what I belive in. Honestly, this video was acually a big wake-up call for me, even though I am not a bully or a victim (besides during the 1st and 2nd grade, where I did not go to Avondale). It gave me a major reason to be more social, since I am not exactly the biggest grape in the bunch. In fact, i'm probably the least social kid in all of the 6th grade. By part 4, I was crying my head off because I realized my anti-social background made a threat on other victims, but I had to keep on going. I actually stopped after half of part 6 because I did not want to end up being like Veronica in a situation like this. I want to be a lot more like Lily. I need to stand up for myself no matter what anyone says. Starting tomorrow, I promise to up my game even more than I have, which actually hasn't been a lot. Besides, I can't just be afraid of judgement all my life.

In the first video 2, Sarah's behavior surprised me mostly because she was bullying Jessica along with the bullies and in the end felt bad about it.In the third video,Elijah surprised me the most because he was the first person to speak up for Dylan. In video 4, Brandon's behavior surprised me the most because he agrees with the bullies and tells Dylan that he's putting all of them down by not putting in any effort. Also Isaiah surprised me in the 4th video because when one of the bullies tried tp physically hurt Dylan, Isaiah stepped in between the two to stop the fight.In the 5th video, Katie surprised me the most because her mother said that thye talk about bullying a lot, but Katie still laughs when Rachel is bullied. Lilly also surprised me in the 5th video because she went off on the bullies and when one of them told her something about winning awards for fashion she acted like she did'nt even cared. In th 6th video , Veronica really surprises me because she gets bullied at school so she can relate to the situation. Veronica shows me how hard it is to stand up to a bully and admit to someone that you are being bullied. If I was in any of these situations I would've stood up for myself. I'm not afraid to fight for myself or for anyone else. I like to think of myself as a hero even if it's only for myself. From the video clips, I learned that if you're being bullied, someone's going to take a stand. I also learned that if you talk to someone about bullying, it can really make a difference.

Deja Motley said...

In the videos the most surprising to me was Elijah and Lily. So very little people have the courage to do what they did . THe rest was just, I'm being a good person. What Elijah did, putting himself between the two, that was amazing! I've never seen anyone try so hard to end the bullying. Lily was even better, to actually fight for the victim and tell the adult how it is. That how I want bullying to end. It affected me, because I realized how much I was encouraging bullying. I actually cried at the videoes for the victims. It made me realize i Just can't just be quiet while someone is verbally or phisically abused.

Deja Motley said...

I agree with Trinity, because Katie knows about bullying and probably all the reactions to it, but she still laughs at the bullying, and encourages the bullies to continue.

Deja Motley said...

I also agree with Delaney, because unlike Verionica, I wouldn't let emotions get in my way. I'd stop the bully and make sure victim is okay, before I worry about some crocidile tears, eye-water, eye-sweat, emotions, orwhatever you wanna call it get in the way of something I believe in.

breannagreen99 said...

The person who surprised me the most was Isaiah.When he felt like things were getting too rough and serious,he stepped in the middle of the confrontation.Everytime I've seen a person step in the middle of a problem was after the issue got too serious.I think Isaiah is very responsible because he stopped the problems before they became an even bigger problem.In all honesty I would've been confused in the situation.I say that because we are all strangers ,but for you to come at a perfect stranger like that,it's beyond ridiculous.I probably would not have reconciled with the bully but tried to encourage the victim.From the clips I've learned,it means a lot to a person when you stick up for them.

Makaila Hicks said...

I was actually surprised that the actors in the 3/6 made the victim really terrified.Like I have been a victim of bullying and it is not a great feeling to have going through your mind,heart, and vains. Most kids in my case that have bullied me were the popular girls or the girls/boys that thought they needed to prove thmeselves to other cool kids. I never wanted to stand up for myself like Lily did. Watching her in 5/6 standing up to veronica made me more encouraged to speak out. I have told my principal about being bulllied on the bus and ect, he took care of the problem head on but being a target victim there is always that feeling that there(suspects/bullies) job isn't over and for telling on them there going to terrorize you even more. I have seen many of my friends get bulllied and have stood up for them because I feel like we all are God's childrens and to watch someone being mistreated is just as bad as doing yourself. I have even had friends to be like Sarah bulling just because your best friend did it and then the victim cries and they feel bad or tries to apoligize. Most kids are killing there selves everyday because of bullying, and I was the worse case of bullying, and really wanted t die but I would never take my own life because Jesus loves me.

Makaila Hicks said...

I agree with Breaunna like kids are scared or becme messy and want to watch a fight or mess. But Isiah was brave enough to intervene. And I like Isiah has gotten in the middle of mess to try and stop it.

Makaila Hicks said...

Trinity,Delaney, and Deja you guys are examples of wonderful role models I'm going to ask Mrs.Lavender can she add you guys to the role model list as well. I am on the list but you guys are a really big inspiration for me to stand up for myself at all times no matter!!!!!!!

~thanxs so much

I agree with Breanna, Isaiah is really inspiring to me because a lot of people I know would've just stood there and yelled fight, but Isaiah got in the middle of the boys before it got too out of hand.

Josh.Stanton2-5 said...

Out of all the videos, I say the individuals that had the most courage were Elijah, and Lilly. I say this because when no one else would try to help,they would step out and put there foot down explaining to the bullies that it just wasn't right. I totally respect them for that.If it was me in that type of situation, I would defend the victim telling the bully, or bullies that they had to get threw me first ! Nobody wants to be bullied. You should treat people the way you want to be treated ! In the video clips I learned that when you see someone being bullied, you just shouldn't stand there, you should do something. Instead of laughing and edging it on.

Delaney Howlett said...

I agree with Josh because Elijah and Lily were realy brave in front of the bully. They knew what to do to stop it from happening anymore!

corian broner said...

In video 2,Sarah surprised me because when the bullies were bullying the victim,she was starting to laugh at their jokes instead of helping the victim.In video 3,Elijah surprised me the most because he was sticking up for Dylan,but when the lady came in asking,"was everything okay?"He didn't say what was really going on about Dylan getting bullied.In video 4, the coach surprised me because when they were doing the drills and exercises Dylan was getting bullied,he was getting bullied right in front of them,he didn't tell them to stop bullying him,or say anything to them,he was just standing there watching them like nothing bad was happening.In video 5, Katie surprised me the most because I noticed that she did the same thing Sarah did in video 2.In video 6,Veronica surprised me because all these days she'd been getting bullied, she hasn't said anything to her mom about it.If I was seeing somebody getting getting bullied,I would have been trying to get the bully to stop bullying that kid,or help the victim by saying don't worry about the bully,be the person you want to be.From the videos I've learned that getting bullied is not fun,and to always stick up for someone who is getting bullied.

When I watched all six videos, the individuals that really surprised me were Elijah and Veronica. They surprised me because, once I learned that they had been bullied before I automatically knew that I wasn't the only one getting bullied and when I compare myself to Elijah and Veronica, I know that we think alike because, bullies don't know what's going with the target and it makes me uncomfortable and I wind up fighting for that person. When I see targets crying, it makes me wanna cry,

Anonymous said...

I agree with corian because, Elijah was really brave for encouraging Dylan to keep trying

Anonymous said...

I agree with delaney because, when I saw veronica crying it surprised me and it also made me want to cry

corian broner said...

I agree with Joshua because no one likes to get bullied everyday having to worry about what the bully is going to do next,and that Elijah and Lilly were the bravest two in the videos because they tried to help the victim.I also agree with Trinity because you have to help somebody because if someone is getting bullied and you help them, if you end up getting bullied that person who you saved from getting bullied will remember you helping them and they will help you,hopefully.

Mikayla Davis 6B said...

I was most surprised by the bystander Lily's actions because surprisingly she was stepping in to help the people being bullied. This has made me realize how powerful bullying can be. I was also surprised about how I have really been enlightened on the situation.

kaitlynmoore88 said...

I was mostly surprised when the girls and boys began to laugh and go along with the bullies and I was also dissapointed. I did not understand why it's funny that those two boys and two girls were being bullied. I was also surprised when Lilly and Elijah stood up for the victims. These two really stood out to me, because they were the two people that really understood what the victim was going through and they did not just sit there and let it happen they took a stand against the bullies. I could relate to the bullying with the chubby girl because I was kind of chubby myself and I got teased, but nobody was there to stand for me and I was too afraid to stand up for myself. I've also learned from these videos is that if you see others getting bullied you must not laugh or go along with them, but you must take up for them. I also learned that if I am the victim of being bullied I must stand up for myself.

kaitlynmoore88 said...

I agree with Delany because I would've stood up for the victims, especially if I knew how it feels to be bullied.

kaitlynmoore88 said...

I also agree with Makaila Hicks because I they treated the victim really wrong in 3/6. I also know what Makaila Hicks and other victims of bullies go through everyday and it does not feel good at all.

I was mostly surprised at Veronica, because she doesn't seem like the type pf person to get bullied. If you think about it Veronica seems like a very nice person, but bullies do not seem to care about whether you are nice or not. As young children we have to realize that bullying is real and in life we are going to have people that will try to pick with us. Do what Veronica did stand up to the bully. I do sometimes think jokes are funny like Jessica, but as I am laughing I feel bad and tell that person that the last comment they made was mean about that person. Not only should all us of us strive to be like Veronica, we could learn a couple of things from Lily. Lily knows bullying is wrong, so she works up courage to do the right thing and stand up for Jessica. In the end if you are being bullied tell the adult in athority and even if you are called a SNITCH, you will be a snitch for doing te right thing.

Anonymous said...

I also agree with Delaney, I would stand up for someone when I see they are being bullies.

Nasir Dowdell said...

From the first girl`s video I was very surprised at Alexis because she decided since everyone else won`t speak up I will. With the first group of boys I was surprised at Elijah because he didn’t just stand there and focus on what he was doing he tried to help the victim. In the second boy’s video I was shocked at how no one helped the victim but instead Brandon agreed with the bullies. In the last two videos I was surprised at how Lily was just bold enough to just tell the bullies leave her alone and also with Veronica and how she was able to tell an actual bully at her school how she felt about what how she felt.

j.mac said...

I have to admitt, I didn't think that Sarah would laugh at the victim in video two because you can't judge a book by its cover. Even though I didn't acpect it, I wasn't surprised because Sarah's mother didn't know how she would act aroud her friends, but that wasn't the only thing I was surprised about. What truly surprised me the most was when Sarah felt bad for the victim.

KaliphKing1 said...

In the first video I couldn't believe Sarah joined in with the bullying of Jessica. Then started helping bully Jessica even more by giving her clothes. Then decides to feel bad. Brandon made himself look bad with his behavior by telling Dylan that he was holding them back from moving forward. Then when Isaiah saw Dylan getting tripped he stepped in to stop the physical bullying. Katie made me the most surprised in the 5TH video because her mom says she talks to her about bullying but she joins in with the humiliation. Lilly was the most outstanding for standing up to the bully by raising her voice and actually getting in the bullies face. I learned that bullying may feel good to you for a crowd but, it really hurts the victim physically and emotionally.

breannagreen99 said...

I agree with Kaila Warren because Elijah and Veronica stood out to me.Both of them have been bullied before,so they know how it feels.

j.mac said...

I agree with Corian if you are in the spot of the victim someday, getting bullied you never know who is watching, because it might just be the person you decided to take the time out to help. When you have someone you that has been in the same place, they know how it feels so they try to help. I'm not speaking for everyone though because some people are to afraid to do anything. I personaly could relate to them, but the difference is I would help.

M.Jones said...

I was suprised at Isaiah in the fourth video because his mom had alresdy said that he was shy, but he will do something. When I think of shy people, I think of the person that is not going to do anything and just watch. When the two bullies were bullying the victim,Isaiah was really the only one who tried to stop them. In the last video, Lily stood up for the victim that was getting bullied. Everytime they said something about the victim, Lily wouldn't let it by. Also at the end, Lily was the only person that said what had happen. A lot of us can learn a lot from Lily's actions. Also the way Veronica acted during the scene also suprised me. It was hard for her to help someone that was getting bullied because she was also getting bullied at school.

Jalyn Robinson said...

I was surprised at all the bystanders who stood up for the victims because that was my first time seeing people standing up for people who got bullied. Usually bystanders would stand by or laugh. I would've stood up for the victim beacuse everyone should be treated with respect. Who are you to judge anybody if you can't change them. You aren't God. I don't treat everyone with respect but I think everyone should be treated with respect and the thing that implented my life the most is to treat peole equally and how you want to be treated.

Kobe Belcher said...

I was mostly suprised with how Alexis stood up to the bully in video 2.She had finally spoke her mind and she got it off her chest. I was suprised at how she talked to the bully and stood up for herself.Elijah suprised me also because he stood up for Dylan.Both of these characters had to have a lot of courage to stand up to the people who were being mean to them.Bullying is a common thing in every school across the country.Someone needs to take a stnd or else there will be more dropouts than there already are.When you bully somebody the victims sometimes have suicidal thoughts.

Isaiah D, Walker said...

I was really suprised with Lilly,Katie,and Veronica.I was mostly suprised with Lilly because when I noticed that Lilly was going to take control of the situation like that and not just stand around while a bully picks on someone bacause of her size.I was really disappointed with Katie because I know her mom has tought her better than that. With Veronica, I dont know what pain shes been through but, I do know it hasn't been kind. If it was me in that situation I don't know what I have done, I would have been very fustrated. I've learned that in a situation were someone is being bullied to just stand up for the victim because if your not with them your against them.

Isaiah D, Walker said...

I agree with Corian, because Sarah was just trying to tag along with the bullies to not be bullied instead of trying to make the victim feel welcome and not to be scared.

NefertitiWilliams12 said...

In the first video I was surprised with Alexis because she was the first to stand up for the victim. In the second video I was surprised with Elijah because no one stand up for the victim but the would just sit back Marcus didn't do that. In the third video I was surpried with Isaish because he got between the bully and thevictim and he separate them and he was telling the victim just forget him. In thefourth video I was surprised with Katie becasue fisrt she was laughing with the bully and thought you was suppose to go along with bullies but at the end she stood up for the victim. In the last video I was surprised with Lily because she was angry the whole time and she cuss but not out loud she was really angry of what the bully was doing to the victim. If you stand up for someone that is being bully you are doing to the right ans don't sit back and do nothing.

MaysaCrenshaw said...

Even though one of the girls cursed, I think that she was the most vocal person throughout all of the videos. When people get bullied I try to help. I agree with Makaila Hicks because I felt the same way. The actors were really good because they all had a life experience that they could pull from. I also agree with Myreon Jones because Isaiah's mother said that he was shy, but if he is doing something right he speaks up.

I agree with your comment Nasir Dowdell because it is hard to be the first on to stand up and Alexis took that role of standing up for someone that she does not even know and that really surprised me.

oscar gipson said...

I agree with your comment Delany Howlett because Lilly was not afriad to stand up for what was right.

Esme said...

I was most surprised by Lily's behavior. She stood up to Rachel with no hesitation! She wasn't afraid at all of the bullies or what they might say. So I agree with Delaney. I can't really think of a time when I witnessed bullying. From now on, I will always stand up for what I think is right!

j.mac said...

I agree with Kobe because, I was surprised as well when Elijah stood up for Dylan. I think that must have taken alot of courage, because I don't know what I would have done if I was in his place. While I was whatching I also realized that when one person speaks up and tries to help, more people join in. Not only have I realized this in video three but also in video one too.

ejderrico 11 said...

I think that in video 1 that it is correct that many teens have been bullied and that some by standers are not paying attion to what is going on around them. Like in the one scene where one of the by standers were laughing at the actor until they found out they were punk by the people. So and another scene there were males picking on another male.

Jeremiah Pulliam said...

I am really surprised at Lily in the fifth video. She was the only bystander that really stuck up for victim from bullying. If some people in schools would defend the victim by telling someone in authority or even to stop the bully, there can be peace and everyone can be accepted in the school.

Jeremiah Pulliam said...

I agree with you Nasir because when you are the first person to stand up for someone, the pressure can be on you.

Jeremiah Pulliam said...

I agree with you Esme. When Lily had enough of situation,"she stood up to Rachel with no hesitation!"

chryshawn parker said...

The indiviuals behavior that suprised me most were the bystanders and the coach, because some of the by standers and the coach ignored the situation. Others were agreeing with the bullies just so they could look cool. I thought that some ofthe bystanders could have stood up for the victim. What I would have done in this situation is, I would have talked to the victim and give them words of encouragement. What I learned from this situation that colud be implemented in my everyday life is never to be afraid to defend someone if they need help, because the bystanders(me)are the most important part of bullying.

bria berry said...

After watching all 6 videos, I noticed that some of the bystanders attemped to help the victim, like in the second video. When the first group of girls came in and witnessed the bullying, Alexis, one of the bystanders, tries to stand up for the victim. And once the other girls saw Alexis help the victim, they felt like they should help too. Even though the fist group of girls in video 1 did well, I was very surprised at Sarah's behavior when the second group of video 2 came in. Sarah laughed and at one actually helped the bullies make a fool of the victim. But overall, the bystanders in video 2 did something as an attempt to help the victim.

bria berry said...

In the third video, I noticed how the bully compliments the bystanders so that it would be difficult to try to help the victim. And this method seemed to work while the boys were on the court, but as soon as they sat down for lunch, Elijah tries to stand up for the bully and attempts to change the subject. And when the boys got back on the court, the bystanders try to reason with the bully as an attempt to stop the bullying. But what surprised me the most was Elijah and Daniel's none-stop attempts to change the subject and attract attention to something besides the victim. In addition to all that, it seems like as soon as one person tries to help out, all the other bystanders join in.

bria berry said...

In the fourth video, I was surprised the most by Isaiah. I say this because even when the bully and victim, were phisically fighting, Isaiah put himself between the two to stop all the tention.

bria berry said...

I agree with Maysa because, in the fifth video, even though Lily used profanity, the way she stood up for the victim made the biggest impact on the bullying. Lily did all that she could to help the victim, she even argued with the bully and had no second thoughts about it.

sidney b said...

Isaiah and Lilly's behavior surprised me the most. They stood up for what was right and didn't care what the bullies thought, because of this. Isaiah even got in between the bully and victim while they were fighting. That shows he cares. Lilly was loud and proud. She stated what she thought and meant it.

bria berry said...

In the last video, Veronica surprised me the most. I say this because while Lily is sticking up for the bully, Veronica walks away from everyone else and begins to cry because the bullying now reminds her of how she is bullied at school currently. Veronica mentions that the bullying is getting worst everyday. But now Veronica knows to stand up for herself and tell the bully that she doesn't like the way he or she treats her.

sidney b said...

I agree with Jeremiah. If Lilly hadn't stood up for Rachel then the situation would have been completly different. Rachel would have felt beaten.

bria berry said...

I agree with Sidney because Isaiah and Lily didn't care or they didn't think of how the bully felt. All that matters is that the bullying stops and the victims' feelings were spared.

sidney b said...

I agree with Bria too. Isaiah put his risk of getting hurt in between the bully and victim. He wanted to release the tention no matter what.

Arianna Jones 6C said...

Well I was surprised at the girls' behavior even though it was acting. I thought about what they were doing and what they were saying and how it related to me. In this situation if I was a bystander then I would have stood up for the person and tell authority, like Lilly did. In the videos about the boys, I was surprised and proud of the way they gave positive comments,and tried to use teamwork. I can implement this into my everyday life by standing up for myself, because of what goes on in our school. Such as, students talking about other students, mess, etc.

Arianna Jones 6C said...

I agree with Delaney.I think we should all be like Lilly instead of Veronica, and if something happens we should let authority know.

chrisfells1 said...

I also think that Lilly was a fantastic person for stand up for Rachael in part 5. I feel bad for Veronica. She is being bullied at school and it is not getting better in video 6.In video 4 Brandon really surprised me because he joined the bullies side instead of sticking up for the victim. Isaiah was a great person in the second part of part 4.Elijah supported the victim in video 3 and that lead the other 2 boys to pitch in.

M.Jones said...

I agree with Sideny because Lily and Isaiah stood up to the bully no matter what they thought.

M.Jones said...

I agree with Nasir because when you are the first person to say something then everyone else might say something. If this ever happens to me, I hope I will be that person to speak out first.

Tekia Horn said...

I was surprised by Lily because she was the only girl that really stood up for Rachel. This surprised me because she yelled and stood up for what she believed in. The other bystanders such as Vironica actually was effected by the situation. I also believed that how Isaiah reacted to the bully's was very brave. They all stood up for what they believed in and also took what they parents taught them and put it in action. If i were in this situation I would have stood up for the victim. I would not join the bandwagon and join in and laugh. I would encourage the victim to stay strong. I would also show the bully's that they were wrong and they knew they were wrong. What happened to the boys and girls can happen to anyone. These videos really showed me how much bullying can ruin someone's life. I also learned that one person can make a huge impact.

Tekia Horn

Tekia Horn said...

I agree with Arianna Jones because i was also proud of how the boys tried to give positive comments.

Tekia Horn said...

I agree with Delaney Howlett because i also would try to stand up for the victims.

Destiny Reid said...

I agree with Maysa Crenshaw because she makes some good points and she is totally right! Lily was the most vocal person throughout all the videos and Elijah did a great job of attempting to stand up for the victim. I also agree with Issiah Walker because I also feel as if you aren't with a person, you're against them. You can only choose one side of the fence to be on, you can't be on both! Meaning that, you can't act one way with a certain person at a specific time, but a completely different way when you're with different people.

Destiny Reid said...

The thing that surprised me the most were the way the kids, bullies included, acted. I never knew kids could be so cruel and I can't believe how afraid kids are to stand up for something! I'm the type of person that when I see something I don't like, I'm going to say something about it! I simply refuse to be quiet. If I were in the bystanders postion, I honestly would've said something about what they were doing. I LOVE the way Lily and Elijah stood up for the victims!! I wish there were more kids like that because you never know, you could save a life by simply saying "Stop, you shouldn't be treating him/her like that!" I've learned that simple, minor things can make a big impact on someone or something. I've also learned that you should ALWAYS stand up for what you believe in.

darien malone said...

What suprised me the most was the "Bi-standers" in the video. Most of them were extremly quiet which made me question if they even cared.It's sad how most people don't stand up for weaker individuals,but i was proud that someone came through. If it were me listening to someone bullying another person, I would stand up for him/her on the spot. If i wouldn't want it to happen to me, why watch and see it happen.I learned that there will always be someone talking about but, thats no reason why you shouldn't just be yourself.

I agree with Delaney, I was very happy that Lily stood up for Rachel afrter being teased.

darien malone said...

I also agree with Corian, NO one would want to be bullied especially if others join in.

Delvyn Johnson said...

I was actually most surprised to find that Lily was standing up to Rachel (Part 5) and that Veronica was crying from bullying experiences in part 5 and 6. I was also surprised at Elijah and how he separated the bully from the victim. I would've stepped up like he did. You always have to think how would you feel if someone picked on you like that. One day this boy was talking about this other boy about his birth mark on his cheek. The bully kept saying his mom kissed him too hard on the cheek on the way to school or something which started a fight. Those two are not in my elective anymore. Bullying can always lead to violence, just like the boy's video.

Delvyn Johnson said...

I agree with Corian Broner because you should always stand up for one another for the right thing.

Delvyn Johnson said...

I agree with Tykeia Horn because,I would not join the bandwagon and join in and laugh.

Nasir Dowdell said...

I agree with Jalyn because who are u judge someone and I also agreed with myreon because we all can learn from someone like lily

Adriana Zelis said...

In the fifth video, I was VERY happy with what I saw from Lilly. I like to think that would be what I would do if I was in that situation. Also, in the sixth video, I was very shocked that Veronica hadn't told her mom. I have actually been bullied because I am white. It's very hard to tand up to these bullies and tell an adult. In the fourth video, I wasn't exactly shocked about what was happening (this also goes for the third video). I see boys act like that all the time whether at school or at some public place.

Adriana Zelis said...

Delaney I agreee with your thoughts and I am very proud that you have decided to be more social becaue I thought that something had happened and that why you were so quiet.

I also agree with Makaila Hicks. It's really hard to stand up to the bully but what I always try to say is "How would you like it if I said that to you?"

TylerTolbert13 said...

In part one,I was surprised when Alexis starts to try and resolve the bullying. Also how she tells the adult about the situation in the room. In part two, I was surprised when Sarah was laughing at the comments made by the bullies. Then all of a sudden she felt sad. In part three, I was surprised when Elijah supported the victim which led to trying to stop the bullies and sticking up for the victim. In part four, I was surprised when Brandon says what the says kind of sides with them. Also how Isaiah sticks up for the victim which made a big difference. In part five, I was surprised when Katie laughs. At everything the bullies say which is siding with the bullies. Finally, in part six, I was surprised when Veronica burst out into tears because of memories of bullying. She didn't tell her mother that she was still getting bullied at school. Honestly, I would have been laughing along with it because I didn't really know being a bystander means you're a part and the biggest part in bullying. I learned that bullying isn't right because it hurts others feelings. Also I learned that bystanders must do something about the situation the victim is in.

TylerTolbert13 said...

I agree with Adrian because it is hard to stand up to bullies. But if you don't who will. Plus the person will continue to get bullied

I agree with Corian because Elijah was encouraging enough to tell Dylan to keep trying. That makes the victim feel somewhat better and more confident.

E'shandae Thomas said...

The bystanders' actions and attitudes are what surprised me the most. I see now that you can stop bullying just by standing up for someone. Most likely if you start to stand up, others will follow you. Like Elijah, he stood up and kept trying to stop the bullying from occurring. Also, I was surprised at Lily. She came out with her opinion and didn't back down from the bully. One person really can make a difference.

After watching all six videos, Isaiah and Elijah suprised me the most, because I think those were the two that tried to stop the bullies from bullying the victim. In that situation, I would've pulled the bully to the side and said, "Dont you think that's a little mean to say those things to him." And if the bully continued to bully him I would've tried to change the subject. From the video clips, I learned that, if you see someone getting bullied, do or say something, because it can possibly changed that bully's way of life.

I agree with Josh, because no one else really didnt try to help. And yes you should always treat someone the way you want to be treated.

TAYLOR BROWN said...

I was actually very happy that Lily stood up for Rachel because the other girls were just looking at them and didn't say anything because they must have been scared to stand up for what was right. Most of the time girls get bullied either because the other person is jealous or because of there style. Being bullied is a way to show your low self- estem. When people talk about others that is a way of bullying because some people can take that in the wrong way and sometimes what you say can be mean. Now i see that when I talk about somebody thats a way of bullying so i should stop. This was a motivation to start stepping up when I see people getting bullied.

I also agree with Alex, because Veronica did seem like a nice person. And you should still tell if you see someone getting bullied even if you do get called a snitch.

TAYLOR BROWN said...

I agree to what Delaney is saying about this being a wake up call because this kind of made me feel bad for when i laugh when people say something that hurts some body elses feelings and we dont even know what goes on at their house. I personally think when people call somebody else gay , that it is wrong because if they where why are they worried. If God still respects the person we should to.

TAYLOR BROWN said...

I agree with Maysa about when the girl cursed , to be honest she was just taking up for her. I wouldnt say thats the best way to settle the situation because sometimes cursing can get you in trouble. These viedos are not actually fake to me because thoe are things that really go on in schools now a days an it causes them to either drop out , or take matters into their on hands by killing themselves or other dangerous things.

Lauryn Collins said...

I was most pleasantly surprised by Lilly's reaction in the fifth video clip. Lilly was the only person who spoke out when she saw how the bully was being mean and make fun of Rachel. I would have responded the same way as Lilly because we should be Godly and respect how other people feel and defend what is right. It is important to value everyone and not try to control or bully them into doing what you want. In the second video clip, I saw a different type reaction to the bullying. It mad me a little sad to see how all of the girls joined the bully instead of make her stop. The girls actually laughed and encouraged the bully which created an even worse situation. If I was put in that place I would be like Lilly. I would tell the bullies that you can't judge someone just one their appearance. I have learned that just because you are not the one being the real bully you should not simply by-stand and do nothing nor should you laugh or support what the bully is doing. Bullying is hurtful and it needs to be stopped! Bullying is everywhere, but we can help stop it. We should by standing up and expressing how we feel or getting an adult to correct the situation.

Lauryn Collins said...

I agree with Corian Broner because Elijah was very brave for encouraging Dylan to keep trying

Lauryn Collins said...

I agree with chryshawn parker because I to would have given the victim advice to help them get thier spirt back up.

Jaelyn Reese said...

I was really surprised with each individuals behavior I was really surprised at latkes behavior in part 5 she surprised me when she laughed. She was really shame about it. Another 1 that I was surprised by was the 1 with sports I didn't expect the bot to be homosexual in real life. During these situation I would have tried to help the victim and not laugh. This Blog really helped me understand how important bullying is and how it can effect people. I will do whatever I can to help

Jaidyn Washington 18 said...

I was actually suprised of Lily for standing up for Racheal(video Part 5 ),because I feel that people like Racheal should not be bullied like this these days ,becuase how would you feel if person like a bully would if you were picked on like this ,if I was Racheal I will start breaking down crying like it is the end of the world for me and it will turn my life up side down.I am also suprised at Alexis ( video Part 1&2), because in the video she had said "Hold on,we need to stop and sit down and talk about this situation". The situation actually was that Jessica ( Victim) was bullied on her appearance.I argee with Breanna and Mikaila, because victims of bullying are really scared of standing up for themselves and wonder if they will get trouble for it,so the victims had to take it to different measures like kill their selves,not tell an authority,and etc. It realates to everyday life because in schools there are bullies that teachers can not tolerate anymore and back to victims take bullying to different measures and it actually happens almost everyday,that why bullying needs to stop now.

Kaneisha Rivers said...

I agree with Breaunna's statement because in reality a child would love to see someone get picked on.

David Bibbs said...

In video 2, Sarah did step up to the bully and Jessica was amazed about it, and Sarah was finally relieved, so was her mother. I would have that same reaction as Sarah' s mom did. These girls who are bullies think that they are all that in a bag of chips, but the only reason they bully is to make themselves feel like they are better than someone else.

Kaneisha Rivers said...

I also agree with Kaitlyn's statement, after seeing the other kids laugh along with the bully it really became quit upsetting to me.

David Bibbs said...

I agree with Tyler T. because you can't your problems by bullying someone else. That just makes them have a problem with you.

olivialewis6b-olive said...

the video that suprised me the most was the way the bystanders reacted to the actions the bullies were doing to the bullied victim. if it were me I would have stood up to the bully because, I would want someone to help me too if I were being bullied. in fact i have been a bystander before and i did help the person that was being bullied because i thought it was unfair to treat someone that way just because they are different. I believe that if the person being bullied would step up to the bully then there would be less interactions with the bully because they get their strength from the fear of the victim. I agree with Jalyn because you should treat others like you'd want to be treated and i also agree with Deja because sometimes you are the only hope with stpping bullies. You can be the one person to make a difference.

Jaelyn Reese said...

I agree with Lauryn Collins when she was surprised that Lily stood up for Rachel. I also agree with Darien Malone when she says the bi-standards surprised her they surprised me because I did not know how much an impact they had on the situation.

Akina Nalls said...

I was personally surprised by lack of anger some of the normal kids had. I cant understand why someone would allow a person to be picked on and not say a word. Everyone is the same and we all have feelings. To do and say some of the things these bullys were, is heartless. If I were in that situation I would stop the bullys because I have been bullied and I would have wanted someone to help me. I agree with Deja Motley when she talked about Lilly and Elijah's courage. Delaney has a point too. These videos were a wake up call and they made me realize I need to stand up for myself and others in situations like these. I think these videos helped me, because they gave me ways of helping others in the future

Brooklin M. Ballard said...

I was surprised that Lily had the guts to stand up against the bully and her accomplice. Peer pressure is a very common and powerful thing in our society.Part 5 video touched me and made me realized that there are very few thoughtful and caring people in this world,and they are my future.

I agree with Darien Malone about how the bi-standers acted. This surprised me also.

I also agree with Delaney about how surprising part 5 was

Tamaira Jackson said...

In video two the boy bystanders actually started to make me upset when no one said anything for a while.I felt better when Eligah stood for Dillard,and when Dainel tried to distract the bullies when they were bullying Dillard.

Tamaira Jackson said...

I agree with Darien Malone because in video 4 and 5 I was starting to get a feeling that no one was really going to stand up for the victims.

Tamaira Jackson said...

I also agree with Daleny and Kaitlyn Moore because even know i dont know how it fells to be bullied, I think that it would hurt phyiscally, mentally , and emiotally, being bullied. So I woyld try to stand up for the bullies and Iwould get angry at the bullies.

Jessica Thomas said...

I was really suprised how Lily stood up for rachel because most people would have did what she did. In that situation I would have also stood up for Rachel because in elementary I was called names so I know how she felt. While watching these videos I learned that I nor any body else should bully somebody because it could push them to far.

Jessica Thomas said...

I agree with taylor brown because I was also surprised how Lily stood up for Rachel.

chryshawn parker said...

I also agree with esme because Lily was able to stand up for Rachael.

Morgin Murphy said...

I was shocked the most by Lily's behavior , she stood up for what she believed in and she stood up for the victim (PART5). Verionca behavior shocked me , because she was crying , and she could relate to the victim. I was also shocked at Sarah's behavior, beacuse her and her mom always talk about bullying and what to do (PART2). Elijiah suprised me because his mom said he was so quiet but he stood up for dylan and was also the peace-maker. I agree with Trinity Groves because the same people surpirsed me.

Jessica Thomas said...

I agree with Destiny too because I also learned that simple, minor things can make a big impact on someone or something.

SabrinaPayne12 said...

In videos 1/6 and 2/6 I was surprised that the girl named Alexis stood up for the victim named Jessica because all it takes is just one person to defeat another and it brought the rest of the girls in to defend Jessica. In this situation I would have defended the victim the first time the bullies made a fool of Jessica to make a U-Turn in the conversation and put the bullies on hush-mode. In all the videos I learned the ways to settle the conversation of bullies and victims. Also, I learned that it does not matter where you are, whoever you are around, and who is watching because you should always stand up for what is right. I noticed that in all the video’s that someone would come out and ask the participants how was it coming along and in 2/6 Alexis looked at the other girl to check in see if she should tell Bobbi Thomas the style editor what really happened while she was gone I feel that she did not have to look at the girl beside her because you should always be honest. I can say that sometimes I show a lack of honesty but in this situation I would have told the truth. In the videos that involved the boys I was very astounded because Elijah was trying to back him up I felt that these videos were more interesting because they used verbal abuse and the boy named Elijah said I caught the ball it’s okay and the boy named Daniel lied on the floor and made a distraction that was an awesome way to distract everyone even the bullies. The video that got me the most was the one with the girl named Lily I agree with Maysa Crenshaw and Taylor Brown Lily did not have to curse to get her point across and I think it was not reasonable for her mother to say “That’s my girl” in a happy way. She should not support her daughter’s foul language but I think she needs to support the way she stood up for Rachel.
P.S. I know this is three hours late and I understand it will not be graded

I also agree with Bria because Isaiah Does risk getting injured for the victim. P.S I understand I am late, but I still wanted to complete the assignment.

Isaiah Rouse said...

I agree with Delaney. I was most surprised Lily. Lily stood up for the victim when all of the other bystanders wouldn't. She refused to let the bullies control the victim. Lily didn't act like a nice girl when she stood up for the victim. I was also surprised by Isaiah because he continuously tried to stop the bullying. Isaiah put himself between the bully and the victim. Isaiah was polite when he attempted to stop the bullying unlike Lucy. If everyone would stand up to bullies, bullying would not be a problem in the world.

E'shandae Thomas said...

I agree with Corian because its amazing that Elijah acted like nothing was going on when a grown up came in the room. Also, I agree with Jaidyn because Lily really spoke up for Rachel through out the whole thing.

P.S. Sorry for the late entry.

jordan haggard said...

The behavior that surprised me the most was Lilys since she stood up for Rachel against the bullies and she did it so strongly it helped realize how much we can help stop bullying Lily seemed to be so powerful at stoping bullying i was impressed with her and i also was surprised by Isaiah when he stood up for dylan the ther boy agaist the boys and helping him. i agree with trinity and i would have been like Isaiah and Lily; so openly agaisnt bullying and standing up for others i will help others and stand up for myself.
