These videoes are.... I don't even have words for it. I am literally crying. I knew the victems were actors, and it those comments shouldn't hurt me, though it did. It makes me remeber when I was called ugly, slow(not physicaly,mentally) and other that shall not be named. Some of them weren't even real mean comments, just my friends playing with me. I'm just sensitive, even if I don't show it.It hurts when anyone does or says anything about me. Only one things seperates me from those girls and boys, I don't sit back and take I fight back.
In the videos it really opened my eyes to see that bullying is more hurtful when you see it happening to someone else. The bullies that were in the videos(the males in the gym) they actually made me feel like they were messing with me. When I see bullies I step up and tell them that what they said was mean and after that the teasing stops. It is a shame that we have people that would keep on messing with other people and it takes someone else to step up and MAKE the individual.
In 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.
I agree Deja, these videos make me want to cry too. Some people just don't understand how being bullied fells until its done to them, but you should'nt worry about anyone that bullies you. They just make it easier to tell who your real friends are.
In video 2, I was surprised when Alexis did good to stick up for the victim. Alexis’ mother was correct when she said that Alexis wouldn’t just let it happen she took action which is what she was supposed to do. She brought everyone together to talk and said and talked about how her fashion was different but that’s okay.Sarah was wrong when she laughed because it was not funny at all. She bullied the victim just by laughing and she was wrong for that. In video 3 , the part that surprised me was when Elijah was very supportive. He helped the others join in too. Also when the other young man fell on the floor when the victim was crying was very helpful. From then everyone was very supportive of the victim and the bullies stopped.In video 4 I was surprised when Brandon agreed with the bullies and that was very wrong. He repeated what the bullies said just to fit in. He didn’t realize he became a bully with them.Isaiah was very supportive in keeping the drama down as well as Sawyer. They tried to change the subject. Isaiah even got in between the victim and the bully so he wouldn’t get hurt. In video 5, I was surprised when Chanel and Katelyn quickly defended the victim when the bullies tried to put her down. Katie laughed along with the bullies but came back and made things right.Nicolette helped the victim and encouraged her to get what she wanted. Allison and Mia also encouraged the victim. Lilly was VERY upset and even cursed she was so upset and she argued with the bully. The bully expert said that was the right way to react when Lilly did what she did. Video 6 surprised me the most because Veronica was upset because she was going through what the victim acted out. She started to cry and told her mother the truth about being bullied. Boys and girls bully her and make fun of her. When she finally stood up to her bullies they didn't bother her again. She should have done that a long time ago, though. These videos taught me you're a bully if you stand around and watch, too. You're not any better than the bullies. We should all react like Lilly and Isaiah and not Sarah or Brandon.
I can concur with Trinity when she said,"Sarah's behavior surprised me mostly because she was bullying Jessica along with the bullies and in the end felt bad about it." Sarah was wrong because what she did was not okay. I learned that bullying will never be right and you standing around is bad. It won't ever be good.
Lastly I agree with Alex when he said,"In the videos it really opened my eyes to see that bullying is more hurtful when you see it happening to someone else. Before now I thought of bullying as yeah it's mean, it happens but I guess you don't realize the pain until it happens to you. Bullying can be physical and mentally painful. You just have to look to God for help. He's the way out of pain and hurt.
I agree with you, Alex. It really is a shame that others would pick on another. What did they ever do to you?
The last post was really sad. i didn't think that i would have done what Lily from video 5 did because I'm so shy.I know some one who gets bullied and i try to help but what i do doesn't really help.It makes me sad to see people get bullied but i get too afraid to help. I'm not a bad person but I'm just being honest.
Today we also did a skit on bullies and what bullies do really impact the victims life to where they think about committing suicide. I agree with alex because it does open your eyes to what happens to people who get bullied.I also agree with deja because it hurts when people say stuff about me even if they are just playing.
In every grade I've been in, I've been picked on because of my skin color. I agree with Deja when she said I fight back(not necesseraily physically).I also agree with Trinity when she said she was shocked when Brandon agreed with the bullies. You never know what is going on in a person's life. Bullying only makes their challenges harder. I learned that bullying can hurt inside or outisde. You'll only make it harder on yourself if you don't tell a responsible adult your problem.
In video 4 I was suprised that the boys in the second part when all the boys tried to help the victim as much as they could. They tried all they could to stop the bullying. When they tried they made me feel better because they tried and tryind is better than nothing.
I agree with Alex when he says he says " it really opened his eyes to see that bullying is more harmful when you see it happen to someone else" because people don't understand that you coulld make a peson comment suicide because of how you treated them
I also agree with Deja because it's not right to let somebody get bullied right in front of you and dont do anything to stop the teassing.
I cannot believe someone could actually be treated in such a harsh and cruel way. I was glad when Alexis step up to carefully tell the girls to just chill and calm down. This was very important because I feel that if not the bullying would have gotten worst. Bully most likely doesn’t know how this can affect people so it’s best you don’t do such things. I it was me instead of one of the other girls I would have stood up after I saw the way the girl looked. I feel as if it’s not fair at all to treat someone in this form of matter. This is total disrespect.
The videos really showed me that bullying can happen to anyone. and if you see someone getting bullied that just sitting there and not saying nothing is not supporting the victim. You have to take action, and that can be hard to do when you are with peole you don't know. Epecially if they are older than you because you want to fit in. It was very suprisng to me to know that sometimes teachers won't even say anything. That really makes the situation worse and harder to take up for the victim being bullied. Their the authority and when they don't say anything that makes you think they you say anything. That's when we have to step in and stand up for our peers. And most people want to stand up for the victim but we are afraid that we are going to get bullied our self's. And that is understandable but,maybe us saying something can make a big difference. That can stop the bully from bullying. That's why you have to watch what you do and say because people are watching and you can change their lives just by observing you. Ireally do agree with Deja because I'm pretty sure that we have been picked on before just not as bad as them. That should make you want to take up and suppot them, because everyone doesn't have the courage to stand of their self's because they are of getting beat up or something. I do agree with T.Adams because I probably would have been shy to if i didn't know them. It would just kind of take me awhile to build up the couurage to do say something. These videos have taught me alot and i encourage people to share these.
In each video there was someone that stood out. Even if they were trying to stop the bullying or intertain it. But the video that supraised me the most was video number 2. In video number 2 there were bystanders laughing and intertains the bullying.
I totally agree with Alexis Brooks, She gave good examples on how someone supraised her in every video
Video 6 surprise me the must. In surprises me, because everyone started to laugh. Katie surprised me the most out of the video, because she and her mom talks about bullying. Yet, she was laughing alone with the bullies. If I was in the sutition, I would have acted like Lily from video 5. She was able to stand up to the bullies, and she was able to bring the bullies down. She also told the adult what really happen. I look up to Lilly. Isaiah also surprised me because he got bewteen the victim and the bullie. Lilly and Isaih setted good examples of what to do when you are in that sitituation. I agree with Alexis. If you don't speak up then you are just as worse as the bullies
After watching all 6 videos I think bullying isnt the way to treat a person.Even if they are different from you.I think it is wrong for somebody to do that to someone else because tehy were different.I agree with Jasmine Arnold.Lilly and Isaiah did set good examples. I agree with Alex when he said,"In the videos it really opened my eyes to see that bullying is more hurtful when you see it happening to someone else.
They*
After watching all 6 videos, I noticed that some of the bystanders attemped to help the victim, like in the first 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 1 came in. Sarah laughed and actually help the bullies make a fool of the victim. But overall, the girls in video 1 eventually said something to the bully as an attempt to stop the bullying.
I was really suprised by the bystanders in the second video. At first, the girls pretended to not see the bullying and to ignore it. The girls were scattering for distractions so it look as if they didn't see anything. As soon as one person spoke up though, everyone else pitched in on the victim's side. Therefore, as a result everyone defended the victim and was on her side. When the bystanders stuck together, they overruled the bullies.
I can agree with Trinity because Sarah should have never joined in with the bully. She knew that was wrong and that she wouldnt want to be treated like that!
I also agree with Janaya, because you have to take action. You should never sit back and just let that happen! If someone was mistreating you, you would want others to defend you. Whenever you just let bullying happen, you are making matters worse. You can't remain neutral in bullying situations.
In video #2 the person that surprises me the most is Alexis, because not only did she stand up for someone that was a total stranger to her, but she told the authority what was going on.Another person is Sarah, because her mom said they talked about bullying, so I thaught that she would know what to do, but then she confesses and recieves another chance to correct her mistake.In video #3 it was Daniel and Elijah becuase they both tried to reason with the bully and make them stop, and then Daniel uses hisself as a distraction to the bullies.In video #4 it was Isiah because he sacraficed his safety and body to get in between the bully and victim, and something that no one else would have done.In video #5 I chose Katie becauseshe knows what to do but yet she does the opposite of what she was taught to do.During video #6 Lilly surprises me because she debates with someone about something that didn't invovle her and that is something anyone would do but she did it for a posistive reson but most people normally do it for attention.these videos rem ind of how it use to be at my old school kids would pick on other kids that wasn't all that athletic or strong kids that were puny, but I would sometimes sayh things that would make the bullies feel like cowards by saying why pick on him that person or this person always saying smart remarks so why won't you crack on them.
I agree with Keneishe Rivers because it is disrepectful to treat someone like something they are not
I also agree with Alex Thomas becuse it shouldn't take someone else to stop some one from bullying another person because when you do such harsh things to other human beings you should automaticly feel bad
I agreew with what Deja said becuase even when just sit back and take in and ignore the bullying it's going to hurt you the most because after it's over for that moment you are goin g to regret that you didn't do anything to stop it
In every video the person that surprised me the most was the person who didn't really say anything they just watched. To me they really don't care. In these kinds of situations I would have done my best to stop the bullies because to me we all live in the same world with the same things and same laws, so there is no reason for bulling someone. Something that I learned is that we don’t have many people in the world who want to stop violence they sit back and let it happen. The catch is when it happens to you, you want someone to stop the bully. Like everyone says, “What goes around comes around.”
It seemed as if everyone I was suprised with were related in some way. In videos one and six, Alexis and Lilly suprised me the most because they both stood up for what the believed in instantly. Unlike Lilly, Alexis was calm while Lilly took no time to share how she felt about the bullying situation. Next I felt suprised by Sarah and Katie from video two and five shocked me as well. Even though it took a while for Sarah to realize what she was doing was wrong,it took Katie a second to notice it as well. Finally dealing with males, Elijah and Isaiah were alike because for one they were both standing up for the victim even though the bullies were twice their size which shocked me the most.
I didn't like the comments made by the actors to the victims even though they were both actors. I know that I can say some hurtful things, but there is a stopping point between just playing and actually meaning what you say. I remember when my sister said that she hated me because we were having a crack-off just to pass the time and I said something that made her mad and she said and I quote,"I hate you."which really mad me scared. I was scared because I thought what if one of us dosen't wake up in the morning. It just goes to show you, be careful what you say.
I believe what Kaneisha said was true, how can someone treat another person so cruel. We are all different in our own way and for someone to treat another person like that is really wrong. If the bully were to be in the victim's position, he/she wouldn't like it at all so why should the victim?
Alexis and Lilly suprised me because they both stood up for what the believed was right. Elijah and Isaiah stood up for the victim. Even if the bully was bigger than them they didn't care.
Alex is also correct, whe your a bystander, you should think of how the victim feels and put yourself in that position.
Typo...Alex is also correct, when your a bystander, you should think of how the victim feels and put yourself in that position.
Alex is correct because he dosen't sit down when someone is being bullied, he takes a stand. I also agree with Deja because she dosen't sit back and take she fights back.
In video number two, Alexis stood out the most to me because she was the first person to stand up for Jessica or in this case the victim. I would also be very proud if my daughter did what Alexis was brave enough to do. Alexis's actions also pesuaded the other girls to stand up for Jessica.Alexis also did the right thing by telling an adult what happened.In this episode the bullies were defeated!Also in the second episode, I was most surprised at Sarah's actions. Sarah joined in with the bullies and forced jessica, the victim, to pose for embarrassing pictures that were going to be posted on the internet.After assisting the bullies in the crime, Sarah felt bad, but I felt that it was too late for Sarah to feel bad.In the third video i was aactually surprised in all the boys because they all stood up for Dillon or in this case the bully. I was most impressed by Elijah because he was the first to stand up for Dillon and encouraged the other boys to encourage Dillon and stop the bully.i was also very proud of Daniel because he tried to distract the bullies by laying on the floor. in the fourth episode i was surprised by Brandon's behavior because he actually agreed with the bullies and almost joined their side.in the second half of the video i was most surprised by Isaiah's actions. His mom desribed him as shy, but he was the one who defended the victim the most. Isaiah did multiple things like changing the subject, seperating the areas of tension and breaking up a fight. i was also impressed by George's actions because you could tell that he thought it was all wrong by the looks on his face, but he didnt step up to do anything about it. In the fifth video I was really stunned by one character and her name is Lily. In the video, Lily stands up to the bully and literaly beats them with her words of truth. I was also surprised that Lily told an adult about what happened. That is usually the last thing a child does in that type of situation. Lily may have used a little profane language, but she got her point across to the bullies! The last person that I am proud of is Veronica. Veronica was in a special situation because she was currently being bullied at school and couldnt stand to see someone else going through what she went through. I am very proud of Veronica for standing up to her bullies at school and resolving the problem.

I also agree with Janaya because you should never just sit back and watch bullying take place.If you do, you might as well also cosider yourself a bully for being a bystander.
I also agree with Joshua Hill because all of the most impressive people in the videos were connected in a way. They all did something that affected both the victim and bully.
