Cyberbullying
Analyze Samantha from the movie, "CyberBully". Compare and contrast her character to Lorraine's mother in The Pigman. How does Samantha's past experiences have an affect on her decision- making process?
Samantha is sweet, and she has mixed emotions because one minute she is Taylor’s friend and, the next minute, she is angry at her. Samantha is just like Lorraine’s mother because she tries to protect Taylor from a boy while Lorraine’s mother is tries to protect Lorraine from boys. They are also different because they both have different reasons why they want to protect Lorraine and Taylor. Samantha’s past experience of a boy who dumped her and got everything he wanted from her affected her decision-making process. Because of her experience, she makes a decision to help Taylor, so she won’t go through the same thing.
Samantha and Lorraine’s mother character are similar because Lorraine’s mother is trying to protect her daughter but she over doing it. Samantha is trying to protect her friend but she really over does it. Samantha and Lorraine’s mother are different because Samantha talks about her on online to protect her from Scott. Lorraine’s mother talks about her daughter for no apparent reason. Samantha’s past experiences have an effect on decision –making process because she thinks Scott is just like her old boyfriend who uses girls but Scott is not like that. Samantha choice was very wrong
Samantha’s actions relates to Lorraine’s mother’s in The Pigman because they both hurt someone. The only difference is that Samantha didn’t mean to hurt anyone. She tried to keep a girl named Taylor from getting her heart broken. Lorraine got hurt for throwing a party at someone else’s house.
Samantha and Lorraine's mother are similiar because they both were hurt by a guy. Because of this Samantha tries to protect Taylor away from Scott, who she thinks is just another dum jock.Lorraine's mother also seemed to be over protective with Lorraine because she continueiously insults men because of her experience.Because of Samantha's past experience with a boy, she thought she was helping Taylor by starting a rumor with a fake social media account of hers.She never realized how it would affect her and Taylor's reputation.Just as she said,"you don't know how a person feels when your saying stuff on the internet",that's what happens in the real world today.
I agree with Myranda because Samantha Is trying to keep Taylor ( her friend) from being heartbroken. She doesn’t mean to bully or hurt anyone. She is trying to be a good friend, but she didn’t think enough about Taylor’s feelings.
Samantha is like Lorraine's mom because Lorraine's mom is protective over her and Samantha is protective over Taylor because she doesn't want her to get hurt by going out with Scott. I think she is protective over Taylor because in her past experience with guys didn't end well (just like Lorraine's mother). I think it was good for Samantha to be over protective because Taylor could have gotten hurt very bad.
Samantha's past experience with boys affect her decision-making process because now she doesn't want to get with wrong guys. If she does get with a guy she is going to make sure they are the right person for her. Example: Guys who respect his girl, guys who love her the same way she loves them, or/and a guy who won't cheat on her and will stay with her no matter what or who she is.
I agree with Myranda B. and Charleston W. because they all said that Samantha and Lorraine's mom are alike because they were either hurt by a guy, or they are protective. I think everyone who has posted before me are on the right track becuase they are staying on topic and they are understanding the question. I don't Avente understood the question because he said they are alike because they both hurt someone and Lorraine's mom didn't hurt anyone, neither did Lorraine. Then when he tried to back it up, he said something about Lorraine GETTING hurt not talking about Lorraine's mother.
I also agree with Charleston because she made Taylor feel bad and almost commit suicide. If your are trying to keep someone from being heartbroken, talk to them and convince them why not to. You shouldn't hurt someone so the other person would change their mind. Don't be a bully to force someone to do something, tell themwhat you think.
Samantha is a good friend to Taylor and like Myranda B. said, she has mixed emotions because she is nice at one minute and the other she is mad frustrated.Samantha is exactly like Lorraine's mother, they both try to protect their love ones from boys. They're different because Samantha is trying to make Taylor realize that Scot is exactly like a guy named Charley who got what he wanted from Samantha after that he never did talk to her. But Lorraine's mother has a problem with all boys. Samantha's past experience of Charley is the reason her decision making process was affected. Because of this she has strong opinion about Scot liking Taylor
I also agree with Myranda because, Taylor was talking about Scot too much in Samantha's car and Samantha finally snapped and told Taylor to get out, the next day the were friends again.
Samantha and Lorraine's mother are similar because they both trying to avoid getting hurt by a guy. At first Samantha is all sweet but, she doesn't want her friend Taylor to get hurt by Scott. Samantha created this fake page about some guy named James. Loraine’s mother tries to keep men in the world who could harm her. Samantha almost made Taylor try to kill herself because, Samantha created that fake James Petitious profile. Like Gabrielle M. said Lorraine's mom is protective over her and Samantha is protective over Taylor because she doesn't want her to get hurt by going out with Scott
The similarities to Samantha and Lorraine’s mother are that they both get angry at the main characters: Taylor and Lorraine. They both hurt the character either physically or emotionally. Samantha tries to protect Taylor from a guy named Scott. Lorraine’s mother protects her from other guys. However, they both have their differences and here are some obvious ones. Samantha actually wasn't overprotective until Taylor meets Scott. Lorraine’s mother was protective all the time with Lorraine. The worst part is that Lorraine’s mother thought Mr. Pignati was a “predator”. The other differences are that Samantha wanted to hurt Taylor. However, Lorraine’s mother really didn't want to hurt Lorraine but she had to. In order for Lorraine to be taught a lesson then she had to pay the price to her mother. In conclusion, Samantha had thought it would be good to affect Taylor online, but it had gotten way out of hand by other online chatters.
I disagree with Taki because Samantha was trying to hurt Taylor. Samantha even made a fake profile because of this. Plus, she was jealous when they were in the car going to the mall. Even though, Taylor didn’t go because that’s when she made Samantha frustrated at her.
I agree with Myranda because Samantha was joyful around Taylor then all of the sudden she turns her back on her. I couldn't imagine something like this to anyone. Samantha needs to pick one friend or enemy. Luckily, she chose friend because she tried to apologize to Taylor.
In the movie "Cyberbully" Samantha is just like Lorraine`s mother in the book the "Pigman",because they are both overly protected.But Samantha was just Taylor`s best friend ,and Lorraine`s mother is a mom.Samantha`s past experiences have an effect on her decision making process,because she try`s to help people out but her plan to help people out doesn't work out so well like she planed it would
I agree with Gabby, because Samantha`s decision making did teach her a lesson about choosing what guys to date.Just like Lorraine`s mother, she didn't want Lorraine to end up picking out the wrong guy just like she did. So both people were being overly protected so they want make the same mistake they did in the past.
I do not agree with, Myranda B.,because yes Samantha is overly protected over Taylor. But at the same time she shouldn't be her friend at one point, and then you are saying she gave you STD.You are either their friend or not,you can't be their friend and say bad things about them.Because a friend doesn't do or say anything about them like that if they are their friend, if they are nit you still should not say bad things about them
Samantha from CyberBully and Lorraine's mother in The Pigman are alike by the way they both hate males because of how one has treated them.They are different because Samantha called her best friend names and Lorraine's mother called Lorraine names instead of both of them calling both of there best friends names or both of there daughters names.Even though Samantha doesn't have any kids.Samantha's past experiences have an affect on her decision-making process by the way she treated her best friend and how she created a fake profile to torture her friend.It will also affect her decision-making process by her knowing that it was wrong what she did.
In the movie "Cyber bully", Samantha does have mood swings. She was very protective of her friends, but you could tell she just wanted to help them. In my opinion, Samantha isn't a bad person at all. She just did the fake James character out of jealousy and she wanted Taylor to grieve. Lorraine's mother and Samantha are very much alike because of their protective ways. They constantly will warn you, like Samantha did Taylor with boys. However, they are different because Lorraine's mother had more knowledge on men/boys so she knew more than Samantha in this situation. Because of that, they both had a different way of protecting one another. Samantha's past experience with boys did have a major affect on what she did to Taylor and her decision making. This incident also caused a riot with her and Taylor. Since Samantha had already had and experience with boys, she thought that all boys were going to be the same. She thought that all boys are cheaters and really don't care about you. So, it's affected her by causing her to be more cautious, mean, and jealous of Taylor's relationship with Scott, and to Taylor personally.
I disagree with Avante W. Lorraine getting "hurt" at the party has really nothing to do with this situation. Lorraine got hurt as a punishment, not to hurt her. Also, Samantha hurt Taylor emotionally/mentally, not physically like Lorraine's mother did.
I agree with Gabrielle McKay and Myranda Bell because that's another thing with Samantha that she got hurt by someone she thought was the right one but turned out to be the wrong one for her.And she also was tryin to be protective,but her best friend didn't listen.So Samantha took it amoung herself and made a fake profile.Its the same with Lorraine's mother.She also got hurt by someone she thought was the right one but also turned out to be the wrong one and was being very protective to Lorraine didnt want to listen just like Samantha's best friend.
Samantha in the movie “Cyber Bully” and Lorraine’s mother in the novel “The Pigman” are similar in many ways. They were both disrespectful to the ones they love. Samantha ruined, her best friends life by making a fake profile and posting mean things about her. In “The Pigman” Lorraine’s mother called her daughter fat and ugly and she was just being mean to her. They were different by Samantha always hurting her own friend online, but Lorraine’s mother stopped teasing her own daughter going to the end of the story. Samantha’s past experiences have had an effect on her decision-making process by her getting hurt before online as well, but she has also been bullied outside of the computer world.
Samantha was trying to help Taylor so she wouldn't have to go through what happend to her.Lorraine's mother was the same way, she was too over protective and sometimes when you try to protect someone you might end up hurting them. Samantha knew that the boy that Taylor liked was going to hurt her heart in the end.So she made a fake account of another boy hoping that she would fall in love with him.Then she would have no choice ,but to break up with the first boy.Just like Lorraine's mother was scared by one man so she didn't want her child to end up the same way so she hurt her child the same way her husband hurt her.
Samantha and Lorraine’s mother both did something to hurt someone’s feelings. They used hurtful words and did hurtful things. Samantha’s past experience affects her decision making process because of how she stood up to Lindsay at school. Also she got her best friend back.
Samantha is nice, sweet, and have a good character. She is sweet and nice, because she gives her friends rides home from school, tries to protect Taylor from Scott, and came to the interview with Taylor. Samantha is like Lorraine's mother, because she tries to protect Taylor from Scott from being heart broken like she was in her relationship. Samantha is not like Lorraine's mom, because Samantha doesn't say mean stuff about how Taylor dresses ,dosen't thinks all men are bad, and not protective of where Taylor be. Samantha past experiences effect her decision making process by when she got dumped by her boyfriend, she was angry and sad, so when Samantha, Taylor, and Cheyenne were riding in the car, then Taylor said " It's not my fought you got dumped." Then that made Samantha get mad. So it made Samantha make the fake profile, which was the wrong decision, because it hurt Taylor, because she wrote bad things about Taylor on the fake profile. So when Samantha got dumped, that made her do those bad things to Taylor.
I do agree with Myranda Bell statement " At one minute she is Taylor friend and, the next, she is angry at her. If she wasn't angry at Taylor she wouldn't ever kicked her out her car.
Samantha and Lorraine's mom are similar because they are both over protective and they want to always prove their point. They're also similar because they are very mean. They are mean because Samantha went online to ruin Taylor's life(suicide).They are different because Lorraine's mother doesn't know about technology yet and if she made a fake profile and knew about technology, she wouldn't want to kill her own daughter. They are also different because Samantha is the non- believable type because if you leave and you come back and something is missing and you ask her what happen she would probably say "I have no idea." Samantha's past experiences have an affect on her decisions because she was dating Scott and she wanted to take him back so she set up this fake profile and she said nasty,dirty things about her and basically just made Taylor commit suicide.
I agree yet disagree with Myranda because Samantha was angry with her in a short period of time, but it isn't sweet you cyber bully your own best friend.
I somewhat agree with taki coll and somewhat don't. What I do agree with her is when she stated " Lorraine's mother is trying to protect her daughter. I agree with her on that part, because she Lorraine's mom was protective by not letting her go over people houses that she doesn't know. The part I disagree with is when she stated " But she over doing it." I don't agree with it, because in the society today, is just horrible, children going missing, children getting found dead. I would be just like Lorraine's mother.
Samantha is a friend that wants the best for Taylor .Samantha took it to far. Samantha and Lorraine's mother are alike because they both wanted to protect someone they love. They are different because Samantha protect her from Scott and Lorraine's mom wants to protect her from boys.
Samantha and Lorraine's mother are similar because they are trying to protect their daughters from boys. Samantha is trying to protect Taylor from Scott because she thinks he is just like her old boyfriend. Lorraine's mother is trying to protect her daughter from boys because I guess she thinks that they're just going to forget about Lorraine and then move on. They are different because Samantha wants to protect Taylor because she thinks Scott is a scum because he hangs our with her old boyfriend, who dumped her, named Charlie. Lorraine's mother is mainly just really over protective of the fact Lorraine hangs around boys sometimes. Samantha's decision-making process was altered by the fact that her old boyfriend, named Charlie, dumped her after he got everything he wanted and didn't speak to her again.
I agree with Myranda Bell because Samantha does have mixed emotions and is trying to protect Taylor from a boy. I also agree with Charleston Walker because Samantha and Lorraine's mother were both hurt by a guy in some way.
Samantha is a girl that has mixed emotions. One day she Taylor’s friend, and as soon as Taylor turns her back it's, I hate you get out my car. Samantha is very much like Lorraine's mother in the Pigman. They both are alike because Lorraine's mother was trying to help Lorraine stay away from boys. Samantha Taylor's so called friend was trying to protect her from one boy " Scott " a boy Samantha called a high school jockey and a jerk who was just like Charlie. Charlie got what he wanted from Samantha and they never spoke again. Lorraine's mother and Samantha have some differences like, Lorraine's mother had specific reasons why she was trying to protect her from boys. Samantha has one reason why she wants to protect Taylor from Scott, because she thinks that Scott will turn out how Charlie was and get what he wants from her and all of a sudden it's bye bye Taylor. Samantha's past experiences of a boy who took advantage of her affected her whole life. So know she hopes that she can help Taylor to not make the same mistake that she made in the past.
I think Samantha is like Lorraine's mom because they are both protective. Samantha is protective of Taylor and Lorraine's mom is protective of Lorraine. They are also alike by them both having boy problems in the past and that's why they are so protective. They have learned the hard way and they don't want to see anybody else go through the same thing. Also it was good for Samantha to be protective of Taylor because Taylor could have gotten hurt.
I agree with Myranda Bell and Gabrielle MaKay because they both said that they have been hurt and protective by a guy and they really thought about this prompt
Samantha and Lorraine's mom are very similar. They are similar because Samantha kind of bullied Taylor online when she used a fake account and Lorraine's mom teased Lorraine and constantly reminds Lorraine of her flaws.They are different because Samantha doesn't insult Taylor to her face, but Lorraine's mom tells Lorraine her flaws any chance she gets.Samantha's past affects her decision-making process because by her being dumped by a jock, she is scared that Scott will dump Taylor, and she doesn't want Taylor to feel the pain she did.
I agree with Tayma because Samantha and Lorraine were both picked on. Lorraine got picked on by her mother about how she looks, and Samantha picked on Taylor online. They are also alike because both mother's want to protect them from boys.
Samantha and Lorraine’s mother are alike, because they both were hurt by a guy. Because Samantha was hurt by a guy, she tries to protect Taylor from Scott, who she thinks is just another player. Lorraine’s mother also seemed to be over protective with Lorraine, because she always insults men because of her heart break. Because of Samantha past with a boy, she thought she was helping Taylor by starting rumors with a fake social media account. Samantha never realized how it would affect her and Taylor’s reputation, because just as she stated, “You don’t know how a person feels when you are saying things on the internet.”
I agree with Tamya, because Samantha and Lorraine were both picked on. Lorraine was picked on by her own mother about her public looks and Samantha picked on Taylor on the internet. They are also alike, because both of them, Samantha and Lorraine's mother, wanting to protect them from boys.
I think Samantha needs to work on her anger because in the real world she can get in trouble by taking it out over the internet, which could lead to (in today's society) cyber-bullying. She should really think about letting go of what happened in her past life.Taylor should stop bringing it up when they have an argument because that isn't helping her let go of her past but adding addition pressure to letting go. I think Samantha and Lorraine's mother are alike because they both are bipolar, meaning they are happy one minute and angry the next. They could really use some anger management classes because of their anger.
Samantha and Mrs. Jenson both have the same dislikes of boys. They both try to protect somebody from them. The difference is that Samantha went to extreme lenghths to protect Taylor, and Mrs. Jenson just reminded Lorraine of the things boys will do to hurt you. What has an affect on Samantha’s decision-making is that she can trust Taylor and she knows Taylor is understanding.
I would like to agree to what Myranda said about what Samantha and Mrs. Jenson have in common. Both of them are sweet and are protecting someone from boys.
I would like t disagree with what Avante said. Mrs. Jenson’s actions to protect Lorraine did not hurt anyone. Lorraine just found it annoying when her mother talked about the cons of boys.
Samantha is similar to Lorraine's mother because they are both trying to protect her but don't realize how feelings could be hurt in the process.Samantha's past experiences with a boy that acted like he loved her just for one thing and after that he left, this affected her decision making process because it made her believe that all boys are the same but didn't realize how she hurt Taylor although she was supposedly protecting her from being heart broken. This relates to Lorraine's mother because while Mrs. Jensen was pregnant with Lorraine, her husband cheated on her. This made Mrs.Jensen lose all respect for men and made her to believe that all men were the same. I agree with Myranda on her opinion about making a decision to help Taylor because Samantha was just trying to make sure that what happened to her didn't happen to Taylor.I also agree with Jalen's opinion on both Samantha and Mrs.Jensen protecting someone they love because Taylor and Lorraine were very close to their heart.
I agree with Myranda because Samantha was hurt by Scott and she wants to help taylor,but she's also jealous at, the same time that Scott may actually fall for her.Lorraine's mother wants to protect her ,but also doesn't really like her.Samantha and lorraine's mother are different because between lorraine and her mother it's a mother daughter thing and with Samantha and Taylor there's friendship so they have different relationships and feelings for each other.
I agree with Myranda because Samantha wants to protect Taylor,but she's jealous at the same time.Lorranie's mother wants no boy to like her because she's jealous ,but still wants to protect her in a way.Samantha and Lorraine's mother are different because it's a mother daughter thing and a friendship they both have different relationships with the people they are trying to protect.
I agree with Myranda,because Taylor is like Lorraine's mommy she"s protective.I also disagree, because Lorraine's mommy and her didn't talk for real and Lorraine's mom instead of kicking her out she smacked her.Samantha's past experience effected her decision because it gave her a little wisdom.
I would like to disagree with you Avante, because Lorraine’s mother does not try to hurt Loraine, she is trying to protect Lorraine just like Samantha tries to protect Taylor, but goes a little over bored.
I would like to agree with Marcell B., because both Ms. Jenson and Samantha are hurt by a guy and when you are hurt by a guy, for some reason, you think that all guys are players and try to protect anyone else from falling into the trap you couldn’t get out of.
In the movie Cyberbully, the character Samantha has different personalities. She can be nice and sweet, and then act grumpy and stuck-up. Samantha relates to Ms.Jenson because she tried to protect Lorraine from boys, and Samantha tried to protect Taylor from a boy. Samantha and Ms.Jenson are different because Samantha didn’t want Taylor to go through same thing that happened with her past boyfriend, and Ms.Jenson just didn’t trust male’s period. Samantha and Ms.Jenson both had something that happened in the past with their relationships, and it came around and haunted them in the present.
I agree with Kenneth Danzy because Samantha and Lorraine's mother do get mad at the main characters: Taylor, Lorraine,but both been already hurt by a guy.
Samantha was like a person who is caught up with her past experiences and tries to protect everyone that tries to do the same thing. Lorraine's mother is just like Samantha because they both tried to protect someone from a guy. They are different because Lorraine's mother hits her and Samantha doesn't do that kind of stuff. Samatha's past experiences have an affect on her decision making process because a guy treated her wrong and her friend tried to go with that guy and she found herself being over protective as (as I would call it.)
iI also agree with Myranda because she did make a decision to make Taylor safe from Scott, but Samantha should have not created a fake profile and that Taylor gave a guy a STD.
Samantha is similar to Lorraine's mother because they both have had bad experiences with men and they don't want anyone else to be hurt like they were.
After analyzing Lorraine mother and Samantha,Samantha and Lorraine mother are alike because both are trying to protect someone that is going in the same path that they went through.They are different because both of them went through two different story. Ms.Jensen mother husband had a girl friend while she was in labor,and Samantha had went with a boy and did what she will always regret. Samantha past effects her decision making now because she dont want herself or anyone else to go through what she went through.
Samantha is like Lorraine's mother from "The Pigman" because both of them tried to protect people that are close to them but hurt them by bullying them Samantha is different from Lorraine's mother because Samantha bullied Taylor over the internet when Lorraine's mother bullied Lorraine by abusing her mentally and physically. Since Samantha has been betrayed and hurt before she didn't thoroughly think out her plan and just listened to what she was feeling not to her brain.
I also agree with Brevyn because that was messed up when Samantha made a fake profile to mess up Taylor life.I also agree with Fred and Josh because Samantha was disrespectful to the people around her.
I agree with Charleston W. because Lorraine's mom and Samantha are trying to keep Lorraine/ Taylor away from a boy or boys so the same thing that happened to them won't happen to Taylor/ Lorraine.
I would like to agree with Kourtney B. because Samantha never talked about Taylor even though Taylor talked about her but Lorraine's mother bullied Lorraine everyday.
Samantha is just like Lorraine's mother in the Pigman ,because they both do not think about thier actoins before they do them. Samantha's past experiences helps her decision making process is she made one mistake and she's not going to make it again.
I agree with Aniyah B. Samantha and Lorraine's mother were very over protective, but they were just trying to protect each girl from being hurt and going whet they went through.
Lorraine’s mother and Samantha are similar because they both are tried to protect Lorraine and Taylor from getting hurt by boys. Lorraine’s mother was overprotective, but Samantha wasn’t because Taylor said something mean about Samantha. Samantha’s past experiences have an effect on her decision-making process because she thinks the same thing is going to happen to Taylor.
I agree with Jaylan A. because Samantha claimed that when she first posted something she had reasons, but then she got angry and all of her reasons went away.
I agree with Brevyn J. because when Lorraine's mother hit her you could tell that she really was trying to protect her from boys like John. Samantha felt the same way but just like Lorraine's mother they went to far. You can never learn when your mother slaps you or a best friend embarasses you in front of everybody.
I agree with Aniyah because protects another from evil but for this case Samantha chose the wrong host because for the whole time Scott was a nice guy and was on Taylor's side. However, Samantha didn't like Scott no better because of the comment he said about Taylor online. That was also at the end where Taylor decided she wanted to kill herself.
I agree with Avante because Samantha is trying to teach Taylor a lesson about boys and how they can break your heart, plus she didn't want Taylor to get her heart broken.
I think Lorraine's mom was bullying Lorraine because she doesn't want Lorraine get her heart broken like she did with Lorraine's father. Samantha was trying to do the same as Lorraine's mom. But I think Samantha took it to the extreme to teach Taylor a lesson. She took it to the point where Taylor wanted to kill herself.
I agree with Rachel because Samantha thougt that Scot was going to be another big-headed jock like her ex and Ms. Jensen was doing the same with Lorraine.
Both Lorraine's mom and Samantha are protective because Lorraine's mom doesn't want Lorraine to go through what she went through and Samantha doesn't want Taylor to fall into the love trap that she fell into.
Samantha and Ms. Jensen are alike, because Ms. Jensen wants to protect Lorraine from boys just like Samantha tried to protect Taylor from boys an also hurt them while trying. The difference between Samantha and Ms. Jensen is Samantha did not mean to hurt Taylor, but did not want the same thing to happen to Taylor that happened to herself. On the other hand Ms. Jensen did not like Lorraine at all. Samantha’s experience in the past made an effect on her decision, because she hurt her friend and made her friend almost kill herself. Now she knows not to ever to hurt her friend like she hurt Samantha ever again.
I agree with Aniyah, because Ms. Jensen and Samantha are over protective, but when they try to solve something they go to far and end up hurting somebody.
I also agree with Jaylan, because when the man in the office called Samantha and her mother in she confessed that she did not mean to hurt Taylor but just wanted to protect her from a boy.
Samantha and Lorraine's mother are similar because Samantha tries to protect Taylor from boys she really don't no! Samantha doesn't want Taylor to get hurt like she did. Lorraine's mother tries to protect Lorraine from boy as well. They are also different, because Samantha has a different reason to protect Taylor from boys than Lorraine's mother. Samantha has been fooled and hurt from a guy that played her, and she doesn't want that to happen to Taylor. Lorraine's mother just don't want Lorraine to be in a relationship, because she thinks she not ready!!
In my opinion, Samantha is like an old shirt. She has been washed and reused so much that she isn’t wearable anymore. She suffered so much pain from her inner self that she doesn’t know how to love anymore. Every time her heart was able to love it got hurt again. She wasn’t use to “forgiving and forgetting”. This particular trait of hers killed all the soul she had. Samantha thought that every time someone did something to her she had to get back. It was as if she felt that you have to always get even with people. Because of her character traits, Samantha seemed like she had no soul but in reality Samantha was just a lost puppy looking for a soul. The only thing that woke up her up from her terrifying nightmare called life was when she realized how she much she hurt Taylor. Lorraine’s mother and Samantha are alike because both of them have been hurt and that has damaged their character drastically. They don’t know how to love so they take all their anger out on their loved ones. Life has been nothing but a whole nightmare for them and they don’t know how to take the pressure of it. Although both have trouble loving, Lorraine’s mother and Samantha differ in many ways. For example, Samantha hurt her friend so much that she almost killed her friend almost killed herself. Whereas, Lorraine’s mother made Lorraine feel very bad but she never hurt Lorraine so much that she actually thought about killing herself. Although this may sound very crazy, I think Samantha in many ways is crueler than Lorraine’s mother because if Samantha had killed herself she would have been a part of a suicide investigation. This is way worse than some of the things that Lorraine’s mother did because she never was so cruel to Lorraine that Lorraine thought about taking her own life. Samantha’s past experience has an effect on her decision-making process because she didn’t know how to forgive. She was so hurt by what happened to her in the past she never forgave the people that did evil things to her. It made her hurt Taylor because she felt by making the fake profile it would “help” Taylor. When in reality, the only thing the profile did was make Taylor feel like she was all alone in the world. I think if Samantha had learned in the past that you don’t have to always get even with people then maybe she wouldn’t have made the decisions she did in the movie. Her decision path might have been to just show Taylor how a real boy should treat her instead of hurting her every time Taylor said cruel words to her. Although she seemed like a cruel person, I think Taylor actually did have good intentions when she created the James Pettious profile. After all in many ways it did show Taylor how to deal with the hard pressures of life.
I agree yet disagree with Jemar H. because I think you should have more details to back-up your ideas. For instance, when you say Samantha and Lorraine’s mother are alike because they’re both overly protected I think you should back that up. First, it should be both of them are overly protective instead of protected. Next, your follow sentence states that, “But Samantha was just Taylor`s best friend, and Lorraine`s mother is a mom.” This makes absolutely no sense! What does their status has to do with a reason why they’re overly protective? You can be a sister, brother, friend, mother, father, teacher, and etc. and still be overly protective. If you have feelings for someone and care for them dearly you will be overly protective of them. I do also agree with you because Samantha does has good intentions but they don’t have work out very. It seems as if she is torn between doing the right thing and doing the wrong thing.
I agree with Kennedy J. because Samantha was about as mixed as they come. One day she was happy the next day she was mad. It seems to me that she may have been bipolar because of how mixed her emotions were. Her intentions seem to be all in Taylor’s favor but when she stated to spread nasty rumors and make Taylor feel like she was nothing it starts to make you wonder. I think maybe if Samantha had got some psychological help then maybe she wouldn’t have hurt Taylor the way she did. In my opinion, Kennedy did an excellent job with backing up all of her thoughts and making me see Samantha in her point of view.
always thought jocks were bad help Samantha was a friend trying to help a friend in a bad way. Samantha and Ms Jensen were both trying to someone they love. Samantha past made her decision with Taylor bad because of her past she
Samantha and Ms.Jensen are similar, because both are overly protective; especially when it comes to dating boys, however they are very different; because Ms.Jensen tries to protect Lorraine by telling her all boys are 'pigs'. Samantha was protecting Taylor from Scott, because she thought Scott was just like her old boyfriend who got what he wanted and left.
I agree with Taki Coll because (Ms.Jensen) why would you talk about your daughter for no apparent reason when she didn't do anything to anybody, for you to say that.
I halfway agree with Myranda Bell, because why would Samantha try to be Taylors' friend one minute then the next, she hate her. Samantha should just try to work things out with Taylor, because making a fake page and talking about her online shouldn't be the right choice; if she is still her friend.
Miss Jenson and Samantha are alike because their both trying to protect the person that they love,because they don't want them to get hurt like they both did.
From watching the movie “Cyber Bully” I have notice that Samantha changes from the beginning to end, because at first she was nice and sweet, but after Taylor had said something about her past Samantha went all rage and made her a fake account, and started bulling Taylor online, like saying she has “STD.” Samantha and Ms. Jenson are alike because both of them are overly protective about boys, because Samantha doesn’t want Taylor around Scoot, and Ms. Jenson doesn’t want Lorraine hanging around boys so when Lorraine gets home late and her mother says where have you been Lorraine has to make up a lie so that Ms. Jenson doesn’t know that Lorraine is hanging around John. Samantha past experiences has an affect on her decision-making process because when she’s online pretending to be James she doesn’t know she’s hurting Taylor until later on.
I think Samantha and Miss Jenson are alike because there both trying to keep someone they love from getting hurt.Another reason is Miss Jenson got mad at Lorraine from time to time just like Samantha got mad at Taylor from time to time.
Samantha has mixed emotions because first of all she was Taylor’s friend then she is going to make an fake page and acted liked a boy, James, and tell people Taylor gave "James" stds. She is just like Mrs. Jenson because both of them are protecting their child or friend from boys. They are different because they have different reasons to protect Taylor and Lorraine. Samantha past experience is a boy who dumped her and he got everything he wanted.
I agree with Jordan because after reading "The Pigman" and watching "Cyber Bully" I saw that Samantha was over protective about boys just like Miss Jenson.
Samantha and Lorraine's mother are the same because they're both trying to protect someone they know and love(Taylor and Lorraine)from boys. Samantha and Lorraine's mother are different from each other because they have different reasons why they're protecting that person. Lorraine's mom wants to protect Lorraine from boys because of the situation Ms. Jenson was in when she was married with Mr. Jenson. Samantha wants to protect Taylor from boys because she doesn't want Taylor to get her heart broken from Scott. Samantha's past experiences with a boy has an affect on her decision-making process because of what Charlie, her old boyfriend,did to her when they were in a relationship.
I agree with Camron Sims, Jaylyn Sherrod, Daniella Odogwu, and Tavaris Beal because Ms. Jenson and Samantha were both two protective females and they both had their boyfriend/husband break their heart.
Samantha is a good girl who gains an evil spirit when her best friend Taylor meets a boy online. She tries to protect her, but Taylor takes it as if she is only doing it to be mean because of her bad relationships. She loses her best friend when she makes a fake profile on a social network to get another guy out of her (Taylor) head. She had a very bad experience and it hurt her to the point where she doesn't care for boys anymore from the lack of trust with the last boyfriend that she had. When Taylor made a bad comment about her she took the profile and made it into a bully to get back at Taylor. She was being mean to her because of the anger that she had inside took over. When everyone starts to bully Taylor even more than they did, she only influences it. It was not until Taylor tried to commit suicide and people turned on her, that she actually felt sorry for the things she said and did. When she gets her friend back she still feels that there is more to be done, but she doesn't know how. When they stand up to the biggest bully at their school she isn't afriad to speak up anymore. Same: Both Mrs. Jensen and Samantha think boys want one thing and then disappear on you when you think you found love. Both have gotten dumped by a man after they got what they want. Both want to protect their close ones from making the same mistake that they made. They don't trust boys/men and their evil foolish ways. Mrs. Jensen: Threatens her daughter for her safety. Lost her husband because he wanted to be with other women. Has only been hurt once (as documented in story). Critizes her daughter, and steals from her employees. Makes Lorraine stay from school, somedays, to clean the house. Isn't wealthy. Samantha: Has been hurt multiple times. She bullied her best friend for no reason. Isn't a good friend. Is disrespectful to friends. She can't be trusted. Lied to her mother and friends. Samantha's past experiences have an affect on her decision making process because now she thinks she has to protect her friend from boys. She thinks all boys have the same brain because the ones she has gone out with have hurt her and left. She thinks that if she uses a fake profile to hurt her, she will know what its like to go though what she went through. When she did and said those things she didn't understand what she was doing. I think she learned a lot from her mistake, and I seriously don't think she will ever think about doing that again.
Samantha and Lorraine's mom are the same in different ways. Samantha past experience with boys has hurt her friendship. Samantha tries to help Taylor not let boys use her like they used Samantha just like Ms. Jenson tried to protect Lorraine from boys.At the same time Ms. Jenson didn't really get effected by her issues with boys,but Samantha got effected as she tried to help her best friend.She had good intentions but,when Taylor made a cruel comment she got furious and did something that she regretted.Now they're friendship isn't the same ,and when Samantha had posted a rumor on clicksters and told the people on clicksters that the rumor wasn't true then she got bullied.Her good intentions had got ruined by her anger now her friendship isn't the same and she is getting bullied.
I think Samantha was well meaning at first but got mad and turned mean like Lorraine's mom because of her past experiences because she thought Taylor would be hurt like she was.
I agree with Ariyana Brown because Samantha didn't realize how bad she hurt Taylor until Taylor tried to kill herself.To me something shouldn't go wrong for someone to realize they were wrong.
I also agree with Sawani in the movie "Cyber Bully" Samantha has cold heart and had got hurt so may times she feels like she needs to get even.She acts like she forgot the word forgiveness.to me she is a lost puppy looking for a blessing to help her forgive and its called forgiveness.
Samantha is one of Taylor's best friends.Samantha and Mrs. Jensen both think that men will trick you.Samatha almost made Taylor commit suicide,while Mrs.Jensen was trying to protect Lorraine.Now Samantha is going to a bullying program.
Ms. Jensen only wanted to protect Lorraine from boys so they wouldn't hurt her,but didn't realize that her constent jaber about men and how all boys are the same was making a major paranoia in Lorraine's personal life. Sammantha is just like her,but doesn't badger Taylor like Ms. Jensen badgered Lorraine. Sammantha comments everytime that boys or jocks only want one thing (sex), so that Taylor won't date any. Sammantha's past experiances have really messed up her orientation on boys or jocks now because of what happened she thinks all boys or jocks want the same thing, which isn't true. In my opinion to that what I say is no one told Ms. Jensen or Sammantha to try all the boys or men.
Samantha and Lorraine’s mom are both alike, because they both think that boys are trouble. Lorrain’s mom is trying to keep her away from boys just like Samantha is trying to keep Taylor away from a boy who is on the same basketball team who laughed at the situation that happened between her and the other boy on the team.Because of her expeirience she had of someone laughing at her situation with another boy then she is trying to keep her from making the same mistake.
I think that Samantha and Ms. Jensen are alike because they both think poorly of men. They both think men are dogs and will deceive you. The difference is that Samantha was trying to protect her close friend Taylor.Ms. Jensen on the other hand takes her frustration out on Lorraine. Samantha uses past experiences to hold her back instead of imbrassing the fact that all men are not the same. I think that that her past is effecting her future. Samantha really needs to let it go and move on.
Samantha and Lorraine‘s mother are alike because they both think that men want you for one thing and then they leave you and they are both trying to make sure that the people they care about don’t make the same mistake they did .They are different because Lorraine’s mother didn’t know that she was spending time with John but Samantha knew about Scott and did everything in her power to stop Taylor. Taylor was her best friend so she decided that she needed to make a boy that was actually fake and make focused on her guy that she made up instead of Scott. When she seen that her so called friend tried to kill herself she freaked out so she freaked and she realized what she did almost killed her friend.
Samantha and Lorrine's mom are alike because they try to protect the people that they love fom getting hurt in the wrong way. However, Lorraine's mom and Samantha are different because Samantha hurts Taylor on the internet and Lorraine's mom hurts Lorraine verbally. Samantha's past experiences have an affect on her decision-making process because when she was hurt by Charlie she became like Lorraine's mom ad started thinking that all boys are just like Charlie, hurtful.
I disagree with Myranda because Samantha was trying to hurt Taylor. Samantha was mad at Taylor, kicked her out of the car, and went home and made that fake profile just to get back at Taylor and everything started going down hill from that point.
I agree with Tamiya because Samantha was jealous of Taylor being happy with Scott. That is one of the reasons that she made the fake James Pettitous profile.
Analization of Samantha: Samantha is a girl who cares and looks out for her friends. She doesn’t have bad intentions, but when it comes to revenge she takes it a little too far, but at least she regrets what she did, apologizes for it, and admits that she did it even though it might lead to a world of trouble. Compare Samantha and Ms. Jensen Unlike Lorraine’s mother, Samantha does not put Taylor down, like Ms. Jensen does Lorraine. Different from Lorraine and her mother, Samantha and Taylor spend a lot of time together. Lorraine and her mother might spend time together, but Ms. Jensen is at work most of the time while Lorraine is at school or ditching school. Lorraine and her mother don’t share a lot of secrets, while whenever Taylor has a problem, she’s calling Samantha and Cheyenne or the other way around. Contrast Samantha and Ms. Jensen Samantha and Lorraine’s mother are VERY similar when it comes to men. They both think that men don’t want anything but to hurt then dump them. Ms. Jensen tries to keep Lorraine away from boys while Samantha tries to keep Taylor away from Scott. They also have the experience from being hurt by another guy. This is why Samantha tries to protect Taylor and Ms. Jenson tries to protect Lorraine from men. Samantha’s past experiences make her think that all men are alike when really she has that all wrong. She cares about Taylor and doesn’t want Taylor to make the same mistake she made. Not only did Taylor bringing up the instance over and over and over again affect Samantha’s decision of making up James, but Samantha felt that Taylor and Scott were getting too close and she just had to break in before things got to the extreme.
Samantha and Lorraine's mother is similar because they both feel as if they have to get back at another person. Samantha feels the need to cyber bully Taylor because a guy that is attracted to Taylor is the guy that Samantha likes. Lorraine's mother feels the need to verbally bully Lorraine because she doesn't realize how her opinion hurts. Samantha and Lorraine's mother is also similar because they both don't realize how words hurt. Samantha and Lorraine's mother are different because Samantha's still a teenager and she has different changes to go through such as this which is fighting over guys at her age. However, Lorraine's mother is an adult but does not know how to control whatever she does or says. From an abusive relationship with a boy who got whatever he wanted from her and left, it affected her decision-making process by making a decision to help Taylor not go through the same experience.
Samantha and Mrs.Jensen are somewhat similar, but nothing alike. Samantha's purpose was to get Taylor to realize that just because someone sounds cute doesn't mean that they are.Mrs. Jensen honestly, to me, didn't have a purpose because there is no reason for an adult to insult their child, knowing it could hurt them. Samantha was more of one of those over-protective friends, however I think that I saw jealousy in her though. The reason I say that is because a regular friend would go along with Taylor and talk about how much they like boys. Samantha, then again, might have just been one of those type of people. Mrs.Jensen and Samantha are similar because they both were being honest in how they felt about Taylor and Lorraine being the people that they were. Even though Samantha literately wasn't honest she still insulted Taylor to get her to realize that she was making a huge mistake. That bring me to another way Samantha and Mrs. Jensen are similar, they both made many insults to Taylor and Lorraine.Lorraine's mom, Mrs.Jensen always told her that she wasn't pretty and she wasn't slim. I am pretty sure that hurt Lorraine, however it made her realize that she wasn't any of those thing and it also made her realize that words shouldn't bother her. Samantha preformed a prank rather than an insult which was James' fake profile. Samantha made Taylor realize that she should be really careful when picking out boys, and that friends are always needed. Even though Lorraine and Taylor were hurt, they still realized that at the end of the day, that person that hurt them was actually there for them.It only make me wonder what it would be like if Mrs.Jensen were in the movie as Samantha and Samantha were in the book as Mrs.Jensen.......
I disagree with Taki C. because not one time throughout the story "The Pigman", Mrs.Jensen tried to be nice or protect Lorraine. Mrs.Jensen just verbal abused Lorraine and getting her down about her looks.
Samantha has different types of moods. One minute she's happy and your friend,the next minute she's stabbing you in the back. Lorraine's mother is similar to Samantha by the fact that they both had past experiences with men. They are different by the fact Samantha is trying to protect her friend,Taylor, and in the Pigman Lorraine's mother is trying to protect her daughter. Because Samantha's heart got broken by a boy she makes sure the same thing doesn't happen to her friend.
I will have to disagree with Myranda's statement because even though she mentioned everything that happened, she didn't tell the similarity of Mrs.Jensen and Samantha. All she explained was how Lorraine and Taylor were alike. If she had of said how Mrs. Jensen and Samantha were alike, then the statement would have been better because she had every good details as far as there stories.
I agree and yet disagree with Parish Wells Samantha intentions at first was to keep her focused on someone else but after Taylor had smart comments about her love life then that's when she got back at Taylor.
I agree with Myranda because Samantha was trying to protect Taylor from Scott. But she didn’t have to create a fake profile and say that stuff about her (that wasn’t true) that was mean. Samantha had some good reasons to do it for her but Taylor was telling the truth but the truth hurts. Samantha is really similar to Lorraine‘s mother because she tried to protect her from boys because she didn’t want her to get hurt like she did. They are also very different because, Samantha tried to manipulate Taylor to show her a lesson for the things she said but she didn’t earn this she was just telling her the truth.
Samantha and Lorraines's mother are alike, because they are over protective, yet they mean to the person they protect. Their difference is Samantha felt the sorrow for her friend, while Ms. Jenson didn't care about her daughter's feelings.
Samantha is a nice girl ,but at first she was Taylors friend then she cyber bullies her with a fake profile. Samantha and Lorraine's mother are alike ,because they both try to protect them from boys that can hurt them. They are different ,because Samantha bullies Taylor over the internet and Lorraine's mother bullies her to her face. Samantha's past experience is with a boy that got everything he wanted from her then dumped her. Because of that happening that effected her decision of what she did.
I diagree with Avante W ,because you were suppose to compare and contrast Samantha and Lorraines mother. Also it had nothing to do with the party she threw. Lorrain's mom gave her punishment for what she did.
Samantha and Lorraine's mother, Mrs. Jensen, is similar because Mrs.Jensen is over-protective and tries to protect her daughter from getting hurt and Samantha is a best friend of Taylor and she doesn't want to see her friend get hurt. Samantha has had some boy problems in the past and when one of the same type of guys try to get with her friend and she doesn't want the same thing to happen to her friend
I honestly think that Samantha and Lorraine’s mother have a lot of similarities. First off Samantha and Lorraine’s mother hurt both Taylor (Samantha-Cyberbully) and (Lorraine- The Pigman). Samantha hurts Taylor by making a fake profile online and then told everyone that Taylor gave “him” an STD. Lorraine’s mother hurt her both physically and emotionally because she talks about her and hit her. Samantha and Lorraine’s mother both had problems with men and they both try to protect the people that they love, but are hurting them in the progress.
I agree with Marcell because Samantha really didn't know it would effect Taylor. She thought she was protecting Taylor from Scott, but actually she was making her life even worst.
Samantha and Lorraine’s mother are alike in many ways. One way is that both Ms. Jensen and Samantha are very protective of the people they care about. For example, Ms. Jensen was protective over her daughter Lorraine when it came to boys because her husband had cheated on her. Samantha is protective of Taylor because Taylor likes a guy name Scott. Samantha has dated him and he has broken her heart and she doesn’t want the same thing to happen to Taylor. They are different because Ms. Jensen didn’t like male’s period, however Samantha didn’t want Taylor to go through the same thing with her past boyfriend. Samantha and Ms. Jensen are trying to protect the people they care about, but they don’t know how to do it without hurting them.
I agree with Faith Moultrie because Ms. Jensen did hurt Lorraine emotionally and physically when she told Lorraine that she was ugly and fat and when she slapped her across her face. Samantha hurted Taylor when she made the fake profile to be James and Taylor had opened up to him and then she make up a comment saying she gave him STDs. They hurted someone they cared for deeply but the way they showed it doesn’t seem like they really care.
Samantha has had a kinda ruff past and this is because of her mom.Unlike Lorraine whos mom kinda hates her hanging out whit boys.Like Lorraines mom Samantries to protect her friend from a boy that she thinks is just playin her.
I agree with Marcell Bolden because Samantha did try to help Taylor, but just not the correct way. She shouldn’t have made the fake profile at all and maybe they wouldn’t be in this predicament.
I agree, yet disagree with Myranda B. because you said that Samantha and Lorraine's mother are different because they have different reasons of protecting Lorraine and Taylor. You listed Samantha's reason, but not Lorraine's mother reason. And they pretty much have the same reason, because according to "The Pigman",it states that Lorraine's mother has the same view of all men because she herself was hurt by her husband.
Samantha and Lorraine’s mother’s similarities are that they both hurt the ones closest to them. Their differences are that Samantha is a teenage girl and Lorraine’s mother is a grown woman. Samantha's past experience helps her to care a little more about her friends.
Samantha and Ms.Jensen are alike in many ways. One way is that they both hurt the person they love like Ms.Jensen telling Lorraine that she is ugly and fat and Samantha making the fake social media account and saying mean thing like Taylor gave "him" a STD . Also I agree with Faith Moultrie because Ms.Jensen did hurt lorrain physically and emotionally like when she slapped Lorraine and when she called her fat. And I agree with Cameron Brown because Samantha did care about Taylor but Ms. Jensen really didn't care about Lorraine
Samantha and Lorraine's mother are similar because Samantha was trying to protect Taylor from a boy also,Lorraine's mother was trying tom protect Lorraine from boys.Both has been hurt by men/boys in the past.Lorraine's mother and Samantha hurt the people they love ,but Samantha did on the internet and Lorraine's mother did it physically.
I beleave that samantha and lorraine's mother were alike in many ways but yet diffirent in many ways also.Samantha's is much more cruel that what Lorraine's mom went through because Samantha was having to stop her self from talking about others they were bulling her. She was having suicuide thoughts and on top of that it all was effecting her connections with her freinds.Lorraines mother was just over protective and really didnt care about peoples feelings.So i would have to agree with Faith Moulture about how one was geting hurt and one was giving the pain.
I agree with Myranda Bell because Samantha and Lorraine's mother did try to protect Lorraine and Taylor from a boy and I agree with some of the following students in sixth grade that said Lorraine's mom and Samantha was too overly protective.
Samantha and Lorraine's mother both hurt someone who they should care about, like Samantha should care about Taylor because that is her best friend, and Lorraine's mother should care about Lorraine because that is her daughter.Samantha's past has an effect on her decisions because it makes Samantha see things differently than her two friends, like Samantha got very mad at Taylor because of what Taylor said,but Taylor didn't mean it to hurt her feelings or to try to be mean but her past experience made her see it different.
I agree with Kourtney Burk because samantha and mrs.Jensen didn't think that men were good! But they only thing about is it Mrs.Jensen didn't want lorraine to have a nice man but samantha did. Samantha was just being jealous abot Taylor and the nice guy.
I agree with Kameron Langford because Lorraine's mother and Samantha had alot of differences such as Samantha was just being crazy and acting like that for that short period of time,but Lorrain's mother was just crazy in the head ,she had just been crazy like that for a while,she wasn't acting, like Samantha,she really was crazy.
Samantha is a nice person and an excellent friend, although she made a decision that ruined her friendship. Samantha is like Lorraine’s mother because she tried to protect her friend Taylor from a boy just like Lorraine’s mother tried to protect Lorraine from boys. They are different because Samantha wanted to protect Taylor from a boy because she was with a boy that got what he wanted and left her. Lorraine’s mother wants to protect Lorraine from boys because she can’t trust them anymore. Samantha’s experience with a boy affects her decision-making process because if she didn’t have that experience she wouldn’t be so protective to Taylor about a boy she likes and she wouldn’t know what would happen with Taylor and the boy. Taylor would have to find out the hard way of how to get her heart broken.
I agree with Myranda because Samantha did have mixed emotions throughout the movie. i felt she was trying to protect Taylor but didn't exactly know how to and that is why she had so many emotions.
I agree with Tamiya because Samantha did think that because of the boy she went out with was a person that only cares about one thing, that all boys are like that. little did she know all boys are not like. she just didn't give Scott a chance and get to know him better before judging him.
Samantha and Lorraine’s mother are similar because they both hurt the main character by saying things about them. Samantha and Taylor are friends but they have mixed feelings about each other one minute there happy and talking to each other ,next there fighting and down each other throat. Lorraine’s mother is like Samantha because she tries to protect her from boys by saying things about her looks to make her confidences in herself drop. Samantha is like Lorraine’s mother like her she tries to protect Taylor who is close to her but does it the wrong way. So that’s how they similar.
Samantha is one of Taylor’s best friends and wants to help her the best way that she can. Although, sometimes she may take it over the limit. Samantha is most similar to Mrs. Jensen, Lorraine’s mother, in the way that they don’t trust men and think they betray you, or boys in Samantha’s case. Also, they both try to protect the people they love most from the hurt that men can do. Lastly, they are alike because they both have bad experiences with males. On the other hand Samantha and Mrs. Jensen are different too. They differ from each other because of the simple reason that Samantha was only dating when her bad experience happened and Mrs. Jensen was actually married. Also, when Mrs. Jensen was trying to protect Lorraine she did it in a good way, unlike how Samantha decided to help Taylor. Which leads me into how does Samantha's past experiences have an effect on her decision- making process? Samantha’s past experiences with her ex-boyfriend Charlie help her decide that she wants to help protect Taylor from Scott. She also makes a decision to talk about Taylor after a past experience of Taylor making a negative comment about. Samantha’s initial reasons for doing what she did may have been good, but it didn’t end that way.
I disagree with Kendra S. because Samantha did purposely try to drive Taylor to suicide she only wanted to get back at her for making her negative comment about her experience with Charlie
I disagree with Avante W. in The Pigman Lorraines mother was trying too keep her from getting hurt. The movie cyber Bully Samantha was keeping Taylor from a guy named Scott.
Samantha and Ms.Jensen are lik two evil twins that don't think about the consequences of what they did and said to their friends and loved ones.Samantha in "CyberBully" tried to take matters into her own hands by getting on the Internet after her friend met a boy that she liked at school. Samantha made a fake profile on clicksters pretending to be a boy named james and after Taylor felt that she liked him and he liked her then he told him all her personal information. In the Pigman Ms.Jensen called her daughter ugly and fat and told her that her hair was too kinky,but Samantha was not trying to be mean she actually tring to help her firend Taylor,but she didnt know when enough is enough.Samantha and Ms. Jensen are alike, but these are two whole different situations.
I would lik to agree with Cynthia she is understanding the point that you Can't really compare a mother and a friend and say they are alike. These are two differnt situations and caused two different effects on their life
I would like to disagree with Mekiya because Samantha never dated Scott she dated his friend and she just assumed that he was going to be the same way as Charlie was.Smantha set up the fake profile not to her hurt friend but she wanted to protect her friend by pretending to be a boy named James so that she won't fall for Scott like she fell for Charlie.
I agree with Gabrielle McKay because Samantha is like Lorraine's mom because Lorraine's mom is protective over her and Samantha is protective over Taylor because she doesn't want her to get hurt by going out with Scott. I think she is protective over Taylor because in her past experience with guys didn't end well (just like Lorraine's mother). I think it was good for Samantha to be over protective because Taylor could have gotten hurt very bad.
Samantha is a good person, but when she started getting cautious about Taylor and her crushes. Samantha is just like Lorraine’s’ mother, because she is trying to protect Taylor from this boys. She’s doing this, because she doesn’t want the same thing to happen to her and her boyfriend. There also different, because they have different reasons why they are doing that. Because of Samantha’s experience of boys she wanted to protect Taylor from that.
Samantha was a bittersweet character in the movie. She was bittersweet because she had stared the rumors, also because in the beginning she was sweet and innocent. Samantha and Lorraine’s mom are over protective of the people close to them. They are different because Lorraine’s mom is her mother and Taylor is her best friend since forever. The one thing in common is they are trying to protect Taylor and Lorraine from boys. I think she dislikes boys and doesn’t trust them because they both had problems with boys.
I agree with Miranda B. but I disagree she wasn’t sweet although the whole movie she was the one who started the rumors. I agree with you saying she has mixed emotions.
samantha is nicer than lorraines mother and samantha is actually gets hurt worser than ms jensen because ms jensen brought all that pain on herself while samantha was framed by her brother and bullies from school and her best friend
I think that Lorraine's mother and Sammantha the same thing in common. They both think that they are protecting someone ( in Lorraine's case:Lorraine, and in Sammantha's case:Taylor)from a particular thing or person, but tgey reall are hurting them.
Samantha and Lorraine's mother are alike because they both try to protect there loved ones from boys. Samantha made a fake profile to harass Taylor, claiming she was trying to protect her. Lorraine's mother just tries to protect her from ALL boys because Lorraine's father left her mom and ever since Lorraine's mother thinks that men are dirty and cruel.
. Both been hurt by men [boy] .Both don’t trust men [boys] .Lorraine Mother was older and Samantha is younger .Lorraine mother is not cyber bullying Samantha is
Samantha's past experiences have an effect on her decisions because since she was hurt once she thinks that every guy is like that, so she does not trust them and maybe one day there could be a cool guy who is different but since she was hurt she won’t trust him. Samantha is a good friend but she is a little to protective because she shouldn`t have made an account and fooled Taylor like that that was mean. Her heart was in the right place just the wrong way to go about it.

Samantha is sweet, and she has mixed emotions because one minute she is Taylor’s friend and, the next minute, she is angry at her. Samantha is just like Lorraine’s mother because she tries to protect Taylor from a boy while Lorraine’s mother is tries to protect Lorraine from boys. They are also different because they both have different reasons why they want to protect Lorraine and Taylor. Samantha’s past experience of a boy who dumped her and got everything he wanted from her affected her decision-making process. Because of her experience, she makes a decision to help Taylor, so she won’t go through the same thing.
Samantha and Lorraine’s mother character are similar because Lorraine’s mother is trying to protect her daughter but she over doing it. Samantha is trying to protect her friend but she really over does it. Samantha and Lorraine’s mother are different because Samantha talks about her on online to protect her from Scott. Lorraine’s mother talks about her daughter for no apparent reason. Samantha’s past experiences have an effect on decision –making process because she thinks Scott is just like her old boyfriend who uses girls but Scott is not like that. Samantha choice was very wrong
Samantha’s actions relates to Lorraine’s mother’s in The Pigman because they both hurt someone. The only difference is that Samantha didn’t mean to hurt anyone. She tried to keep a girl named Taylor from getting her heart broken. Lorraine got hurt for throwing a party at someone else’s house.
Samantha and Lorraine's mother are similiar because they both were hurt by a guy. Because of this Samantha tries to protect Taylor away from Scott, who she thinks is just another dum jock.Lorraine's mother also seemed to be over protective with Lorraine because she continueiously insults men because of her experience.Because of Samantha's past experience with a boy, she thought she was helping Taylor by starting a rumor with a fake social media account of hers.She never realized how it would affect her and Taylor's reputation.Just as she said,"you don't know how a person feels when your saying stuff on the internet",that's what happens in the real world today.
I agree with Myranda because Samantha Is trying to keep Taylor ( her friend) from being heartbroken. She doesn’t mean to bully or hurt anyone. She is trying to be a good friend, but she didn’t think enough about Taylor’s feelings.
Samantha is like Lorraine's mom because Lorraine's mom is protective over her and Samantha is protective over Taylor because she doesn't want her to get hurt by going out with Scott. I think she is protective over Taylor because in her past experience with guys didn't end well (just like Lorraine's mother). I think it was good for Samantha to be over protective because Taylor could have gotten hurt very bad.
Samantha's past experience with boys affect her decision-making process because now she doesn't want to get with wrong guys. If she does get with a guy she is going to make sure they are the right person for her. Example: Guys who respect his girl, guys who love her the same way she loves them, or/and a guy who won't cheat on her and will stay with her no matter what or who she is.
I agree with Myranda B. and Charleston W. because they all said that Samantha and Lorraine's mom are alike because they were either hurt by a guy, or they are protective. I think everyone who has posted before me are on the right track becuase they are staying on topic and they are understanding the question. I don't Avente understood the question because he said they are alike because they both hurt someone and Lorraine's mom didn't hurt anyone, neither did Lorraine. Then when he tried to back it up, he said something about Lorraine GETTING hurt not talking about Lorraine's mother.
I also agree with Charleston because she made Taylor feel bad and almost commit suicide. If your are trying to keep someone from being heartbroken, talk to them and convince them why not to. You shouldn't hurt someone so the other person would change their mind. Don't be a bully to force someone to do something, tell themwhat you think.
Samantha is a good friend to Taylor and like Myranda B. said, she has mixed emotions because she is nice at one minute and the other she is mad frustrated.Samantha is exactly like Lorraine's mother, they both try to protect their love ones from boys. They're different because Samantha is trying to make Taylor realize that Scot is exactly like a guy named Charley who got what he wanted from Samantha after that he never did talk to her. But Lorraine's mother has a problem with all boys. Samantha's past experience of Charley is the reason her decision making process was affected. Because of this she has strong opinion about Scot liking Taylor
I agree with Charleston because,of Samantha Taylor tried to attempt suicide and ruined her reputation.
I also agree with Myranda because, Taylor was talking about Scot too much in Samantha's car and Samantha finally snapped and told Taylor to get out, the next day the were friends again.
Samantha and Lorraine's mother are similar because they both trying to avoid getting hurt by a guy. At first Samantha is all sweet but, she doesn't want her friend Taylor to get hurt by Scott. Samantha created this fake page about some guy named James. Loraine’s mother tries to keep men in the world who could harm her. Samantha almost made Taylor try to kill herself because, Samantha created that fake James Petitious profile. Like Gabrielle M. said Lorraine's mom is protective over her and Samantha is protective over Taylor because she doesn't want her to get hurt by going out with Scott
The similarities to Samantha and Lorraine’s mother are that they both get angry at the main characters: Taylor and Lorraine. They both hurt the character either physically or emotionally. Samantha tries to protect Taylor from a guy named Scott. Lorraine’s mother protects her from other guys. However, they both have their differences and here are some obvious ones. Samantha actually wasn't overprotective until Taylor meets Scott. Lorraine’s mother was protective all the time with Lorraine. The worst part is that Lorraine’s mother thought Mr. Pignati was a “predator”. The other differences are that Samantha wanted to hurt Taylor. However, Lorraine’s mother really didn't want to hurt Lorraine but she had to. In order for Lorraine to be taught a lesson then she had to pay the price to her mother. In conclusion, Samantha had thought it would be good to affect Taylor online, but it had gotten way out of hand by other online chatters.
I disagree with Taki because Samantha was trying to hurt Taylor. Samantha even made a fake profile because of this. Plus, she was jealous when they were in the car going to the mall. Even though, Taylor didn’t go because that’s when she made Samantha frustrated at her.
I agree with Myranda because Samantha was joyful around Taylor then all of the sudden she turns her back on her. I couldn't imagine something like this to anyone. Samantha needs to pick one friend or enemy. Luckily, she chose friend because she tried to apologize to Taylor.
In the movie "Cyberbully" Samantha is just like Lorraine`s mother in the book the "Pigman",because they are both overly protected.But Samantha was just Taylor`s best friend ,and Lorraine`s mother is a mom.Samantha`s past experiences have an effect on her decision making process,because she try`s to help people out but her plan to help people out doesn't work out so well like she planed it would
I agree with Gabby, because Samantha`s decision making did teach her a lesson about choosing what guys to date.Just like Lorraine`s mother, she didn't want Lorraine to end up picking out the wrong guy just like she did. So both people were being overly protected so they want make the same mistake they did in the past.
I do not agree with, Myranda B.,because yes Samantha is overly protected over Taylor. But at the same time she shouldn't be her friend at one point, and then you are saying she gave you STD.You are either their friend or not,you can't be their friend and say bad things about them.Because a friend doesn't do or say anything about them like that if they are their friend, if they are nit you still should not say bad things about them
Samantha from CyberBully and Lorraine's mother in The Pigman are alike by the way they both hate males because of how one has treated them.They are different because Samantha called her best friend names and Lorraine's mother called Lorraine names instead of both of them calling both of there best friends names or both of there daughters names.Even though Samantha doesn't have any kids.Samantha's past experiences have an affect on her decision-making process by the way she treated her best friend and how she created a fake profile to torture her friend.It will also affect her decision-making process by her knowing that it was wrong what she did.
In the movie "Cyber bully", Samantha does have mood swings. She was very protective of her friends, but you could tell she just wanted to help them. In my opinion, Samantha isn't a bad person at all. She just did the fake James character out of jealousy and she wanted Taylor to grieve. Lorraine's mother and Samantha are very much alike because of their protective ways. They constantly will warn you, like Samantha did Taylor with boys. However, they are different because Lorraine's mother had more knowledge on men/boys so she knew more than Samantha in this situation. Because of that, they both had a different way of protecting one another. Samantha's past experience with boys did have a major affect on what she did to Taylor and her decision making. This incident also caused a riot with her and Taylor. Since Samantha had already had and experience with boys, she thought that all boys were going to be the same. She thought that all boys are cheaters and really don't care about you. So, it's affected her by causing her to be more cautious, mean, and jealous of Taylor's relationship with Scott, and to Taylor personally.
I disagree with Avante W. Lorraine getting "hurt" at the party has really nothing to do with this situation. Lorraine got hurt as a punishment, not to hurt her. Also, Samantha hurt Taylor emotionally/mentally, not physically like Lorraine's mother did.
I agree with Gabrielle McKay and Myranda Bell because that's another thing with Samantha that she got hurt by someone she thought was the right one but turned out to be the wrong one for her.And she also was tryin to be protective,but her best friend didn't listen.So Samantha took it amoung herself and made a fake profile.Its the same with Lorraine's mother.She also got hurt by someone she thought was the right one but also turned out to be the wrong one and was being very protective to Lorraine didnt want to listen just like Samantha's best friend.
Samantha in the movie “Cyber Bully” and Lorraine’s mother in the novel “The Pigman” are similar in many ways. They were both disrespectful to the ones they love. Samantha ruined, her best friends life by making a fake profile and posting mean things about her. In “The Pigman” Lorraine’s mother called her daughter fat and ugly and she was just being mean to her. They were different by Samantha always hurting her own friend online, but Lorraine’s mother stopped teasing her own daughter going to the end of the story. Samantha’s past experiences have had an effect on her decision-making process by her getting hurt before online as well, but she has also been bullied outside of the computer world.
Samantha was trying to help Taylor so she wouldn't have to go through what happend to her.Lorraine's mother was the same way, she was too over protective and sometimes when you try to protect someone you might end up hurting them. Samantha knew that the boy that Taylor liked was going to hurt her heart in the end.So she made a fake account of another boy hoping that she would fall in love with him.Then she would have no choice ,but to break up with the first boy.Just like Lorraine's mother was scared by one man so she didn't want her child to end up the same way so she hurt her child the same way her husband hurt her.
Samantha and Lorraine’s mother both did something to hurt someone’s feelings. They used hurtful words and did hurtful things. Samantha’s past experience affects her decision making process because of how she stood up to Lindsay at school. Also she got her best friend back.
Samantha is nice, sweet, and have a good character. She is sweet and nice, because she gives her friends rides home from school, tries to protect Taylor from Scott, and came to the interview with Taylor. Samantha is like Lorraine's mother, because she tries to protect Taylor from Scott from being heart broken like she was in her relationship. Samantha is not like Lorraine's mom, because Samantha doesn't say mean stuff about how Taylor dresses ,dosen't thinks all men are bad, and not protective of where Taylor be. Samantha past experiences effect her decision making process by when she got dumped by her boyfriend, she was angry and sad, so when Samantha, Taylor, and Cheyenne were riding in the car, then Taylor said " It's not my fought you got dumped." Then that made Samantha get mad. So it made Samantha make the fake profile, which was the wrong decision, because it hurt Taylor, because she wrote bad things about Taylor on the fake profile. So when Samantha got dumped, that made her do those bad things to Taylor.
I do agree with Myranda Bell statement " At one minute she is Taylor friend and, the next, she is angry at her. If she wasn't angry at Taylor she wouldn't ever kicked her out her car.
Samantha and Lorraine's mom are similar because they are both over protective and they want to always prove their point. They're also similar because they are very mean. They are mean because Samantha went online to ruin Taylor's life(suicide).They are different because Lorraine's mother doesn't know about technology yet and if she made a fake profile and knew about technology, she wouldn't want to kill her own daughter. They are also different because Samantha is the non- believable type because if you leave and you come back and something is missing and you ask her what happen she would probably say "I have no idea." Samantha's past experiences have an affect on her decisions because she was dating Scott and she wanted to take him back so she set up this fake profile and she said nasty,dirty things about her and basically just made Taylor commit suicide.
I agree yet disagree with Myranda because Samantha was angry with her in a short period of time, but it isn't sweet you cyber bully your own best friend.
I somewhat agree with taki coll and somewhat don't. What I do agree with her is when she stated " Lorraine's mother is trying to protect her daughter. I agree with her on that part, because she Lorraine's mom was protective by not letting her go over people houses that she doesn't know. The part I disagree with is when she stated " But she over doing it." I don't agree with it, because in the society today, is just horrible, children going missing, children getting found dead. I would be just like Lorraine's mother.
I agree with Charleston because both Mrs. Jensen and Samantha are hurt by a men who has cheated on them.
Samantha is a friend that wants the best for Taylor .Samantha took it to far. Samantha and Lorraine's mother are alike because they both wanted to protect someone they love. They are different because Samantha protect her from Scott and Lorraine's mom wants to protect her from boys.
Samantha thinks that Scott is going to be exactly like Charlie
Samantha and Lorraine's mother are similar because they are trying to protect their daughters from boys. Samantha is trying to protect Taylor from Scott because she thinks he is just like her old boyfriend. Lorraine's mother is trying to protect her daughter from boys because I guess she thinks that they're just going to forget about Lorraine and then move on. They are different because Samantha wants to protect Taylor because she thinks Scott is a scum because he hangs our with her old boyfriend, who dumped her, named Charlie. Lorraine's mother is mainly just really over protective of the fact Lorraine hangs around boys sometimes. Samantha's decision-making process was altered by the fact that her old boyfriend, named Charlie, dumped her after he got everything he wanted and didn't speak to her again.
I agree with Myranda Bell because Samantha does have mixed emotions and is trying to protect Taylor from a boy. I also agree with Charleston Walker because Samantha and Lorraine's mother were both hurt by a guy in some way.
Samantha is a girl that has mixed emotions. One day she Taylor’s friend, and as soon as Taylor turns her back it's, I hate you get out my car. Samantha is very much like Lorraine's mother in the Pigman. They both are alike because Lorraine's mother was trying to help Lorraine stay away from boys. Samantha Taylor's so called friend was trying to protect her from one boy " Scott " a boy Samantha called a high school jockey and a jerk who was just like Charlie. Charlie got what he wanted from Samantha and they never spoke again. Lorraine's mother and Samantha have some differences like, Lorraine's mother had specific reasons why she was trying to protect her from boys. Samantha has one reason why she wants to protect Taylor from Scott, because she thinks that Scott will turn out how Charlie was and get what he wants from her and all of a sudden it's bye bye Taylor. Samantha's past experiences of a boy who took advantage of her affected her whole life. So know she hopes that she can help Taylor to not make the same mistake that she made in the past.
I think Samantha is like Lorraine's mom because they are both protective. Samantha is protective of Taylor and Lorraine's mom is protective of Lorraine. They are also alike by them both having boy problems in the past and that's why they are so protective. They have learned the hard way and they don't want to see anybody else go through the same thing. Also it was good for Samantha to be protective of Taylor because Taylor could have gotten hurt.
I agree with Myranda Bell and Gabrielle MaKay because they both said that they have been hurt and protective by a guy and they really thought about this prompt
Samantha and Lorraine's mom are very similar. They are similar because Samantha kind of bullied Taylor online when she used a fake account and Lorraine's mom teased Lorraine and constantly reminds Lorraine of her flaws.They are different because Samantha doesn't insult Taylor to her face, but Lorraine's mom tells Lorraine her flaws any chance she gets.Samantha's past affects her decision-making process because by her being dumped by a jock, she is scared that Scott will dump Taylor, and she doesn't want Taylor to feel the pain she did.
I agree with Jalen Powell because Samantha was trying to protect Taylor, but Samantha did take it too far.
I agree with Jaylyn Sherrod because Samantha and Lorraine's mom both had trouble with boys in the past.
I agree with Tayma because Samantha and Lorraine were both picked on. Lorraine got picked on by her mother about how she looks, and Samantha picked on Taylor online. They are also alike because both mother's want to protect them from boys.
Samantha and Lorraine’s mother are alike, because they both were hurt by a guy. Because Samantha was hurt by a guy, she tries to protect Taylor from Scott, who she thinks is just another player. Lorraine’s mother also seemed to be over protective with Lorraine, because she always insults men because of her heart break. Because of Samantha past with a boy, she thought she was helping Taylor by starting rumors with a fake social media account. Samantha never realized how it would affect her and Taylor’s reputation, because just as she stated, “You don’t know how a person feels when you are saying things on the internet.”
I agree with Tamya, because Samantha and Lorraine were both picked on. Lorraine was picked on by her own mother about her public looks and Samantha picked on Taylor on the internet. They are also alike, because both of them, Samantha and Lorraine's mother, wanting to protect them from boys.
I mean Tayma not Tamya.
I agree with Jalen Powell, because Samantha was just trying to protect Taylor, but she took it too far.
I think Samantha needs to work on her anger because in the real world she can get in trouble by taking it out over the internet, which could lead to (in today's society) cyber-bullying. She should really think about letting go of what happened in her past life.Taylor should stop bringing it up when they have an argument because that isn't helping her let go of her past but adding addition pressure to letting go. I think Samantha and Lorraine's mother are alike because they both are bipolar, meaning they are happy one minute and angry the next. They could really use some anger management classes because of their anger.
Samantha and Mrs. Jenson both have the same dislikes of boys. They both try to protect somebody from them. The difference is that Samantha went to extreme lenghths to protect Taylor, and Mrs. Jenson just reminded Lorraine of the things boys will do to hurt you. What has an affect on Samantha’s decision-making is that she can trust Taylor and she knows Taylor is understanding.
I would like to agree to what Myranda said about what Samantha and Mrs. Jenson have in common. Both of them are sweet and are protecting someone from boys.
I would like t disagree with what Avante said. Mrs. Jenson’s actions to protect Lorraine did not hurt anyone. Lorraine just found it annoying when her mother talked about the cons of boys.
Samantha is similar to Lorraine's mother because they are both trying to protect her but don't realize how feelings could be hurt in the process.Samantha's past experiences with a boy that acted like he loved her just for one thing and after that he left, this affected her decision making process because it made her believe that all boys are the same but didn't realize how she hurt Taylor although she was supposedly protecting her from being heart broken. This relates to Lorraine's mother because while Mrs. Jensen was pregnant with Lorraine, her husband cheated on her. This made Mrs.Jensen lose all respect for men and made her to believe that all men were the same. I agree with Myranda on her opinion about making a decision to help Taylor because Samantha was just trying to make sure that what happened to her didn't happen to Taylor.I also agree with Jalen's opinion on both Samantha and Mrs.Jensen protecting someone they love because Taylor and Lorraine were very close to their heart.
I agree with Myranda because Samantha was hurt by Scott and she wants to help taylor,but
she's also jealous at, the same time that Scott may actually fall for her.Lorraine's mother wants to protect her ,but also doesn't really like her.Samantha and lorraine's mother are different because between lorraine and her mother it's a mother daughter thing and with Samantha and Taylor there's friendship so they have different relationships and feelings for each other.
I agree with Myranda because Samantha wants to protect Taylor,but she's jealous at the same time.Lorranie's mother wants no boy to like her because she's jealous ,but still wants to protect her in a way.Samantha and Lorraine's mother are different because it's a mother daughter thing and a friendship they both have different relationships with the people they are trying to protect.
I agree with Myranda,because Taylor is like Lorraine's mommy she"s protective.I also disagree, because Lorraine's mommy and her didn't talk for real and Lorraine's mom instead of kicking her out she smacked her.Samantha's past experience effected her decision because it gave her a little wisdom.
I would like to disagree with you Avante, because Lorraine’s mother does not try to hurt Loraine, she is trying to protect Lorraine just like Samantha tries to protect Taylor, but goes a little over bored.
I would like to agree with Marcell B., because both Ms. Jenson and Samantha are hurt by a guy and when you are hurt by a guy, for some reason, you think that all guys are players and try to protect anyone else from falling into the trap you couldn’t get out of.
In the movie Cyberbully, the character Samantha has different personalities. She can be nice and sweet, and then act grumpy and stuck-up. Samantha relates to Ms.Jenson because she tried to protect Lorraine from boys, and Samantha tried to protect Taylor from a boy. Samantha and Ms.Jenson are different because Samantha didn’t want Taylor to go through same thing that happened with her past boyfriend, and Ms.Jenson just didn’t trust male’s period. Samantha and Ms.Jenson both had something that happened in the past with their relationships, and it came around and haunted them in the present.
I agree with Gabby because Samantha and Ms.Jenson were both protective.
I also agree with Tamiya because Samantha wasn’t a bad person, she just came to the point where jealous took over her.
I agree with Kenneth Danzy because Samantha and Lorraine's mother do get mad at the main characters:
Taylor, Lorraine,but both been already hurt by a guy.
Samantha and Lorraines mother both try to protect there main characters,Samantha is sweet,Lorraines mother is alittle strict.
I agree with Joshua A because Samantha and lorraines mother were disrespectful to the ones they love.
Samantha was like a person who is caught up with her past experiences and tries to protect everyone that tries to do the same thing. Lorraine's mother is just like Samantha because they both tried to protect someone from a guy. They are different because Lorraine's mother hits her and Samantha doesn't do that kind of stuff. Samatha's past experiences have an affect on her decision making process because a guy treated her wrong and her friend tried to go with that guy and she found herself being over protective as (as I would call it.)
I agree with Charlestom W. because Samantha was hur buy Scott and Mrs. Jenson was hurt buy Mr. Jenson.
iI also agree with Myranda because she did make a decision to make Taylor safe from Scott, but Samantha should have not created a fake profile and that Taylor gave a guy a STD.
Samantha is similar to Lorraine's mother because they both have had bad experiences with men and they don't want anyone else to be hurt like they were.
After analyzing Lorraine mother and Samantha,Samantha and Lorraine mother are alike because both are trying to protect someone that is going in the same path that they went through.They are different because both of them went through two different story. Ms.Jensen mother husband had a girl friend while she was in labor,and Samantha had went with a boy and did what she will always regret. Samantha past effects her decision making now because she dont want herself or anyone else to go through what she went through.
I agree with Myranda B. because one minute Samantha is friendly and the next she is jealous and angry with Taylor for dating Scott.
Samantha is like Lorraine's mother from "The Pigman" because both of them tried to protect people that are close to them but hurt them by bullying them Samantha is different from Lorraine's mother because Samantha bullied Taylor over the internet when Lorraine's mother bullied Lorraine by abusing her mentally and physically.
Since Samantha has been betrayed and hurt before she didn't thoroughly think out her plan and just listened to what she was feeling not to her brain.
I also agree with Brevyn because that was messed up when Samantha made a fake profile to mess up Taylor life.I also agree with Fred and Josh because Samantha was disrespectful to the people around her.
I agree with Charleston W. because Lorraine's mom and Samantha are trying to keep Lorraine/ Taylor away from a boy or boys so the same thing that happened to them won't happen to Taylor/ Lorraine.
I would like to agree with Kourtney B. because Samantha never talked about Taylor even though Taylor talked about her but Lorraine's mother bullied Lorraine everyday.
Avante,I'd like to say that even though Mrs.Jensen bullied Lorraine she did try to protect Lorraine from getting hurt by a man like she did.
Samantha is just like Lorraine's mother in the Pigman ,because they both do not think about thier actoins before they do them. Samantha's past experiences helps her decision making process is she made one mistake and she's not going to make it again.
I agree with Aniyah B. Samantha and Lorraine's mother were very over protective, but they were just trying to protect each girl from being hurt and going whet they went through.
Lorraine’s mother and Samantha are similar because they both are tried to protect Lorraine and Taylor from getting hurt by boys. Lorraine’s mother was overprotective, but Samantha wasn’t because Taylor said something mean about Samantha. Samantha’s past experiences have an effect on her decision-making process because she thinks the same thing is going to happen to Taylor.
I agree with Charleston because when Samantha started the rumor, she thought she was going to scare Scott away, but she made it worse.
I agree with Jaylan A. because Samantha claimed that when she first posted something she had reasons, but then she got angry and all of her reasons went away.
I agree with Brevyn J. because when Lorraine's mother hit her you could tell that she really was trying to protect her from boys like John. Samantha felt the same way but just like Lorraine's mother they went to far. You can never learn when your mother slaps you or a best friend embarasses you in front of everybody.
I agree with Aniyah because protects another from evil but for this case Samantha chose the wrong host because for the whole time Scott was a nice guy and was on Taylor's side. However, Samantha didn't like Scott no better because of the comment he said about Taylor online. That was also at the end where Taylor decided she wanted to kill herself.
I agree with Avante because Samantha is trying to teach Taylor a lesson about boys and how they can break your heart, plus she didn't want Taylor to get her heart broken.
I think Lorraine's mom was bullying Lorraine because she doesn't want Lorraine get her heart broken like she did with Lorraine's father. Samantha was trying to do the same as Lorraine's mom. But I think Samantha took it to the extreme to teach Taylor a lesson. She took it to the point where Taylor wanted to kill herself.
I agree with Rachel because Samantha thougt that Scot was going to be another big-headed jock like her ex and Ms. Jensen was doing the same with Lorraine.
Both Lorraine's mom and Samantha are protective because Lorraine's mom doesn't want Lorraine to go through what she went through and Samantha doesn't want Taylor to fall into the love trap that she fell into.
I agree with Joy and Charleston
Samantha and Ms. Jensen are alike, because Ms. Jensen wants to protect Lorraine from boys just like Samantha tried to protect Taylor from boys an also hurt them while trying. The difference between Samantha and Ms. Jensen is Samantha did not mean to hurt Taylor, but did not want the same thing to happen to Taylor that happened to herself. On the other hand Ms. Jensen did not like Lorraine at all. Samantha’s experience in the past made an effect on her decision, because she hurt her friend and made her friend almost kill herself. Now she knows not to ever to hurt her friend like she hurt Samantha ever again.
I agree with Aniyah, because Ms. Jensen and Samantha are over protective, but when they try to solve something they go to far and end up hurting somebody.
I also agree with Jaylan, because when the man in the office called Samantha and her mother in she confessed that she did not mean to hurt Taylor but just wanted to protect her from a boy.
I agree with Charleston walker because Samantha and Lorraine's mom are trying to protect their friend or daughter from either boys or men.
I agree with Myranda Bell because Samantha is a good friend but she has mixed emotions.
Samantha and Lorraine's mother are similar because Samantha tries to protect Taylor from boys she really don't no! Samantha doesn't want Taylor to get hurt like she did. Lorraine's mother tries to protect Lorraine from boy as well. They are also different, because Samantha has a different reason to protect Taylor from boys than Lorraine's mother. Samantha has been fooled and hurt from a guy that played her, and she doesn't want that to happen to Taylor. Lorraine's mother just don't want Lorraine to be in a relationship, because she thinks she not ready!!
In my opinion, Samantha is like an old shirt. She has been washed and reused so much that she isn’t wearable anymore. She suffered so much pain from her inner self that she doesn’t know how to love anymore. Every time her heart was able to love it got hurt again. She wasn’t use to “forgiving and forgetting”. This particular trait of hers killed all the soul she had. Samantha thought that every time someone did something to her she had to get back. It was as if she felt that you have to always get even with people. Because of her character traits, Samantha seemed like she had no soul but in reality Samantha was just a lost puppy looking for a soul. The only thing that woke up her up from her terrifying nightmare called life was when she realized how she much she hurt Taylor. Lorraine’s mother and Samantha are alike because both of them have been hurt and that has damaged their character drastically. They don’t know how to love so they take all their anger out on their loved ones. Life has been nothing but a whole nightmare for them and they don’t know how to take the pressure of it. Although both have trouble loving, Lorraine’s mother and Samantha differ in many ways. For example, Samantha hurt her friend so much that she almost killed her friend almost killed herself. Whereas, Lorraine’s mother made Lorraine feel very bad but she never hurt Lorraine so much that she actually thought about killing herself. Although this may sound very crazy, I think Samantha in many ways is crueler than Lorraine’s mother because if Samantha had killed herself she would have been a part of a suicide investigation. This is way worse than some of the things that Lorraine’s mother did because she never was so cruel to Lorraine that Lorraine thought about taking her own life. Samantha’s past experience has an effect on her decision-making process because she didn’t know how to forgive. She was so hurt by what happened to her in the past she never forgave the people that did evil things to her. It made her hurt Taylor because she felt by making the fake profile it would “help” Taylor. When in reality, the only thing the profile did was make Taylor feel like she was all alone in the world. I think if Samantha had learned in the past that you don’t have to always get even with people then maybe she wouldn’t have made the decisions she did in the movie. Her decision path might have been to just show Taylor how a real boy should treat her instead of hurting her every time Taylor said cruel words to her. Although she seemed like a cruel person, I think Taylor actually did have good intentions when she created the James Pettious profile. After all in many ways it did show Taylor how to deal with the hard pressures of life.
I agree with Tayma Lopez, Tamiya Thomas, Daniella Odogwu, and Tavaiors Beal!
I agree yet disagree with Jemar H. because I think you should have more details to back-up your ideas. For instance, when you say Samantha and Lorraine’s mother are alike because they’re both overly protected I think you should back that up. First, it should be both of them are overly protective instead of protected. Next, your follow sentence states that, “But Samantha was just Taylor`s best friend, and Lorraine`s mother is a mom.” This makes absolutely no sense! What does their status has to do with a reason why they’re overly protective? You can be a sister, brother, friend, mother, father, teacher, and etc. and still be overly protective. If you have feelings for someone and care for them dearly you will be overly protective of them. I do also agree with you because Samantha does has good intentions but they don’t have work out very. It seems as if she is torn between doing the right thing and doing the wrong thing.
I agree with Kennedy J. because Samantha was about as mixed as they come. One day she was happy the next day she was mad. It seems to me that she may have been bipolar because of how mixed her emotions were. Her intentions seem to be all in Taylor’s favor but when she stated to spread nasty rumors and make Taylor feel like she was nothing it starts to make you wonder. I think maybe if Samantha had got some psychological help then maybe she wouldn’t have hurt Taylor the way she did. In my opinion, Kennedy did an excellent job with backing up all of her thoughts and making me see Samantha in her point of view.
always thought jocks were bad help Samantha was a friend trying to help a friend in a bad way. Samantha and Ms Jensen were both trying to someone they love. Samantha past made her decision with Taylor bad because of her past she
I agree with karaylan harper because Samantha was a friend and she hurt taylor when she could’ve convined taylor in a different way
I agree with brevyn jones because she was using her past experiences with a boy and thought anthor boy would be the same but it wasn’t
Samantha and Ms.Jensen are similar, because both are overly protective; especially when it comes to dating boys, however they are very different; because Ms.Jensen tries to protect Lorraine by telling her all boys are 'pigs'. Samantha was protecting Taylor from Scott, because she thought Scott was just like her old boyfriend who got what he wanted and left.
I agree with Taki Coll because (Ms.Jensen) why would you talk about your daughter for no apparent reason when she didn't do anything to anybody, for you to say that.
I halfway agree with Myranda Bell, because why would Samantha try to be Taylors' friend one minute then the next, she hate her. Samantha should just try to work things out with Taylor, because making a fake page and talking about her online shouldn't be the right choice; if she is still her friend.
Miss Jenson and Samantha are alike because their both trying to protect the person that they love,because they don't want them to get hurt like they both did.
From watching the movie “Cyber Bully” I have notice that Samantha changes from the beginning to end, because at first she was nice and sweet, but after Taylor had said something about her past Samantha went all rage and made her a fake account, and started bulling Taylor online, like saying she has “STD.” Samantha and Ms. Jenson are alike because both of them are overly protective about boys, because Samantha doesn’t want Taylor around Scoot, and Ms. Jenson doesn’t want Lorraine hanging around boys so when Lorraine gets home late and her mother says where have you been Lorraine has to make up a lie so that Ms. Jenson doesn’t know that Lorraine is hanging around John. Samantha past experiences has an affect on her decision-making process because when she’s online pretending to be James she doesn’t know she’s hurting Taylor until later on.
I think Samantha and Miss Jenson are alike because there both trying to keep someone they love from getting hurt.Another reason is Miss Jenson got mad at Lorraine from time to time just like Samantha got mad at Taylor from time to time.
Samantha has mixed emotions because first of all she was Taylor’s friend then she is going to make an fake page and acted liked a boy, James, and tell people Taylor gave "James" stds. She is just like Mrs. Jenson because both of them are protecting their child or friend from boys. They are different because they have different reasons to protect Taylor and Lorraine. Samantha past experience is a boy who dumped her and he got everything he wanted.
I agree with Jordan because after reading "The Pigman" and watching "Cyber Bully" I saw that Samantha was over protective about boys just like Miss Jenson.
Samantha and Lorraine's mother are the same because they're both trying to protect someone they know and love(Taylor and Lorraine)from boys. Samantha and Lorraine's mother are different from each other because they have different reasons why they're protecting that person. Lorraine's mom wants to protect Lorraine from boys because of the situation Ms. Jenson was in when she was married with Mr. Jenson. Samantha wants to protect Taylor from boys because she doesn't want Taylor to get her heart broken from Scott. Samantha's past experiences with a boy has an affect on her decision-making process because of what Charlie, her old boyfriend,did to her when they were in a relationship.
I agree with Camron Sims, Jaylyn Sherrod, Daniella Odogwu, and Tavaris Beal because Ms. Jenson and Samantha were both two protective females and they both had their boyfriend/husband break their heart.
Samantha is a good girl who gains an evil spirit when her best friend Taylor meets a boy online. She tries to protect her, but Taylor takes it as if she is only doing it to be mean because of her bad relationships. She loses her best friend when she makes a fake profile on a social network to get another guy out of her (Taylor) head. She had a very bad experience and it hurt her to the point where she doesn't care for boys anymore from the lack of trust with the last boyfriend that she had. When Taylor made a bad comment about her she took the profile and made it into a bully to get back at Taylor. She was being mean to her because of the anger that she had inside took over. When everyone starts to bully Taylor even more than they did, she only influences it. It was not until Taylor tried to commit suicide and people turned on her, that she actually felt sorry for the things she said and did. When she gets her friend back she still feels that there is more to be done, but she doesn't know how. When they stand up to the biggest bully at their school she isn't afriad to speak up anymore.
Same:
Both Mrs. Jensen and Samantha think boys want one thing and then disappear on you when you think you found love.
Both have gotten dumped by a man after they got what they want.
Both want to protect their close ones from making the same mistake that they made.
They don't trust boys/men and their evil foolish ways.
Mrs. Jensen:
Threatens her daughter for her safety.
Lost her husband because he wanted to be with other women.
Has only been hurt once (as documented in story).
Critizes her daughter, and steals from her employees.
Makes Lorraine stay from school, somedays, to clean the house.
Isn't wealthy.
Samantha:
Has been hurt multiple times.
She bullied her best friend for no reason.
Isn't a good friend.
Is disrespectful to friends.
She can't be trusted.
Lied to her mother and friends.
Samantha's past experiences have an affect on her decision making process because now she thinks she has to protect her friend from boys. She thinks all boys have the same brain because the ones she has gone out with have hurt her and left. She thinks that if she uses a fake profile to hurt her, she will know what its like to go though what she went through. When she did and said those things she didn't understand what she was doing. I think she learned a lot from her mistake, and I seriously don't think she will ever think about doing that again.
Samantha and Lorraine's mom are the same in different ways. Samantha past experience with boys has hurt her friendship. Samantha tries to help Taylor not let boys use her like they used Samantha just like Ms. Jenson tried to protect Lorraine from boys.At the same time Ms. Jenson didn't really get effected by her issues with boys,but Samantha got effected as she tried to help her best friend.She had good intentions but,when Taylor made a cruel comment she got furious and did something that she regretted.Now they're friendship isn't the same ,and when Samantha had posted a rumor on clicksters and told the people on clicksters that the rumor wasn't true then she got bullied.Her good intentions had got ruined by her anger now her friendship isn't the same and she is getting bullied.
I think Samantha was well meaning at first but got mad and turned mean like Lorraine's mom because of her past experiences because she thought Taylor would be hurt like she was.
I agree with Ariyana Brown because Samantha didn't realize how bad she hurt Taylor until Taylor tried to kill herself.To me something shouldn't go wrong for someone to realize they were wrong.
I agree with Rodney Wade because both Samantha and Mrs. Jensen were afraid what happened to them would happen to the person they love.
I agree with Dailin because they have both been hurt and want to protect their loved ones.
I also agree with Sawani in the movie "Cyber Bully" Samantha has cold heart and had got hurt so may times she feels like she needs to get even.She acts like she forgot the word forgiveness.to me she is a lost puppy looking for a blessing to help her forgive and its called forgiveness.
Samantha is one of Taylor's best friends.Samantha and Mrs. Jensen both think that men will trick you.Samatha almost made Taylor commit suicide,while Mrs.Jensen was trying to protect Lorraine.Now Samantha is going to a bullying program.
Ms. Jensen only wanted to protect Lorraine from boys so they wouldn't hurt her,but didn't realize that her constent jaber about men and how all boys are the same was making a major paranoia in Lorraine's personal life. Sammantha is just like her,but doesn't badger Taylor like Ms. Jensen badgered Lorraine. Sammantha comments everytime that boys or jocks only want one thing (sex), so that Taylor won't date any. Sammantha's past experiances have really messed up her orientation on boys or jocks now because of what happened she thinks all boys or jocks want the same thing, which isn't true. In my opinion to that what I say is no one told Ms. Jensen or Sammantha to try all the boys or men.
Samantha and Lorraine’s mom are both alike, because they both think that boys are trouble. Lorrain’s mom is trying to keep her away from boys just like Samantha is trying to keep Taylor away from a boy who is on the same basketball team who laughed at the situation that happened between her and the other boy on the team.Because of her expeirience she had of someone laughing at her situation with another boy then she is trying to keep her from making the same mistake.
I agree with Jalen Powell, because Lorraine’s mother and Samantha were trying to protect someone they love.
I agree with Timothy Swanson, because they did get hurt by a guy.
I think that Samantha and Ms. Jensen are alike because they both think poorly of men. They both think men are dogs and will deceive you. The difference is that Samantha was trying to protect her close friend Taylor.Ms. Jensen on the other hand takes her frustration out on Lorraine. Samantha uses past experiences to hold her back instead of imbrassing the fact that all men are not the same. I think that that her past is effecting her future. Samantha really needs to let it go and move on.
I agree with sawani because Samantha really does need to get a life and move on.
I agree with sawani because Samantha really does need to get a life and move on.
Samantha and Lorraine‘s mother are alike because they both think that men want you for one thing and then they leave you and they are both trying to make sure that the people they care about don’t make the same mistake they did .They are different because Lorraine’s mother didn’t know that she was spending time with John but Samantha knew about Scott and did everything in her power to stop Taylor. Taylor was her best friend so she decided that she needed to make a boy that was actually fake and make focused on her guy that she made up instead of Scott. When she seen that her so called friend tried to kill herself she freaked out so she freaked and she realized what she did almost killed her friend.
Samantha and Lorrine's mom are alike because they try to protect the people that they love fom getting hurt in the wrong way. However, Lorraine's mom and Samantha are different because Samantha hurts Taylor on the internet and Lorraine's mom hurts Lorraine verbally. Samantha's past experiences have an affect on her decision-making process because when she was hurt by Charlie she became like Lorraine's mom ad started thinking that all boys are just like Charlie, hurtful.
I disagree with Erica because Samantha relationship with her friends had nothing to do with her ex-boyfriend
I disagree with Myranda because Samantha was trying to hurt Taylor. Samantha was mad at Taylor, kicked her out of the car, and went home and made that fake profile just to get back at Taylor and everything started going down hill from that point.
I agree with Tamiya because Samantha was jealous of Taylor being happy with Scott. That is one of the reasons that she made the fake James Pettitous profile.
I agree with Kourtney Burk because Samantha and Ms.Jensen didn't think that men were any good.
Analization of Samantha:
Samantha is a girl who cares and looks out for her friends. She doesn’t have bad intentions, but when it comes to revenge she takes it a little too far, but at least she regrets what she did, apologizes for it, and admits that she did it even though it might lead to a world of trouble.
Compare
Samantha and Ms. Jensen
Unlike Lorraine’s mother, Samantha does not put Taylor down, like Ms. Jensen does Lorraine.
Different from Lorraine and her mother, Samantha and Taylor spend a lot of time together. Lorraine and her mother might spend time together, but Ms. Jensen is at work most of the time while Lorraine is at school or ditching school.
Lorraine and her mother don’t share a lot of secrets, while whenever Taylor has a problem, she’s calling Samantha and Cheyenne or the other way around.
Contrast
Samantha and Ms. Jensen
Samantha and Lorraine’s mother are VERY similar when it comes to men. They both think that men don’t want anything but to hurt then dump them. Ms. Jensen tries to keep Lorraine away from boys while Samantha tries to keep Taylor away from Scott. They also have the experience from being hurt by another guy. This is why Samantha tries to protect Taylor and Ms. Jenson tries to protect Lorraine from men.
Samantha’s past experiences make her think that all men are alike when really she has that all wrong. She cares about Taylor and doesn’t want Taylor to make the same mistake she made. Not only did Taylor bringing up the instance over and over and over again affect Samantha’s decision of making up James, but Samantha felt that Taylor and Scott were getting too close and she just had to break in before things got to the extreme.
Samantha and Lorraine's mother is similar because they both feel as if they have to get back at another person. Samantha feels the need to cyber bully Taylor because a guy that is attracted to Taylor is the guy that Samantha likes. Lorraine's mother feels the need to verbally bully Lorraine because she doesn't realize how her opinion hurts. Samantha and Lorraine's mother is also similar because they both don't realize how words hurt. Samantha and Lorraine's mother are different because Samantha's still a teenager and she has different changes to go through such as this which is fighting over guys at her age. However, Lorraine's mother is an adult but does not know how to control whatever she does or says. From an abusive relationship with a boy who got whatever he wanted from her and left, it affected her decision-making process by making a decision to help Taylor not go through the same experience.
Samantha and Mrs.Jensen are somewhat similar, but nothing alike. Samantha's purpose was to get Taylor to realize that just because someone sounds cute doesn't mean that they are.Mrs. Jensen honestly, to me, didn't have a purpose because there is no reason for an adult to insult their child, knowing it could hurt them. Samantha was more of one of those over-protective friends, however I think that I saw jealousy in her though. The reason I say that is because a regular friend would go along with Taylor and talk about how much they like boys. Samantha, then again, might have just been one of those type of people. Mrs.Jensen and Samantha are similar because they both were being honest in how they felt about Taylor and Lorraine being the people that they were. Even though Samantha literately wasn't honest she still insulted Taylor to get her to realize that she was making a huge mistake. That bring me to another way Samantha and Mrs. Jensen are similar, they both made many insults to Taylor and Lorraine.Lorraine's mom, Mrs.Jensen always told her that she wasn't pretty and she wasn't slim. I am pretty sure that hurt Lorraine, however it made her realize that she wasn't any of those thing and it also made her realize that words shouldn't bother her. Samantha preformed a prank rather than an insult which was James' fake profile. Samantha made Taylor realize that she should be really careful when picking out boys, and that friends are always needed. Even though Lorraine and Taylor were hurt, they still realized that at the end of the day, that person that hurt them was actually there for them.It only make me wonder what it would be like if Mrs.Jensen were in the movie as Samantha and Samantha were in the book as Mrs.Jensen.......
I disagree with Taki C. because not one time throughout the story "The Pigman", Mrs.Jensen tried to be nice or protect Lorraine. Mrs.Jensen just verbal abused Lorraine and getting her down about her looks.
Samantha has different types of moods. One minute she's happy and your friend,the next minute she's stabbing you in the back. Lorraine's mother is similar to Samantha by the fact that they both had past experiences with men. They are different by the fact Samantha is trying to protect her friend,Taylor, and in the Pigman Lorraine's mother is trying to protect her daughter. Because Samantha's heart got broken by a boy she makes sure the same thing doesn't happen to her friend.
I will have to disagree with Myranda's statement because even though she mentioned everything that happened, she didn't tell the similarity of Mrs.Jensen and Samantha. All she explained was how Lorraine and Taylor were alike. If she had of said how Mrs. Jensen and Samantha were alike, then the statement would have been better because she had every good details as far as there stories.
I agree and yet disagree with Parish Wells Samantha intentions at first was to keep her focused on someone else but after Taylor had smart comments about her love life then that's when she got back at Taylor.
I agree with Myranda because Samantha was trying to protect Taylor from Scott. But she didn’t have to create a fake profile and say that stuff about her (that wasn’t true) that was mean. Samantha had some good reasons to do it for her but Taylor was telling the truth but the truth hurts. Samantha is really similar to Lorraine‘s mother because she tried to protect her from boys because she didn’t want her to get hurt like she did. They are also very different because, Samantha tried to manipulate Taylor to show her a lesson for the things she said but she didn’t earn this she was just telling her the truth.
Samantha and Lorraines's mother are alike, because they are over protective, yet they mean to the person they protect. Their difference is Samantha felt the sorrow for her friend, while Ms. Jenson didn't care about her daughter's feelings.
I agree with Myranda Bell, beacause Samantha and Lorraine's mom do have mixed emotions.
Samantha is a nice girl ,but at first she was Taylors friend then she cyber bullies her with a fake profile. Samantha and Lorraine's mother are alike ,because they both try to protect them from boys that can hurt them. They are different ,because Samantha bullies Taylor over the internet and Lorraine's mother bullies her to her face. Samantha's past experience is with a boy that got everything he wanted from her then dumped her. Because of that happening that effected her decision of what she did.
I agree with Parrish, because both Samantha and Lorraine's mother try to hurt the person they love to prove a point.
I agree with Myranda Bell ,because they both do try to keep them away from certin boys.
I diagree with Avante W ,because you were suppose to compare and contrast Samantha and Lorraines mother. Also it had nothing to do with the party she threw. Lorrain's mom gave her punishment for what she did.
Samantha and Lorraine's mother, Mrs. Jensen, is similar because Mrs.Jensen is over-protective and tries to protect her daughter from getting hurt and Samantha is a best friend of Taylor and she doesn't want to see her friend get hurt. Samantha has had some boy problems in the past and when one of the same type of guys try to get with her friend and she doesn't want the same thing to happen to her friend
I agree with Charleston because Samantha and Lorraine's mother are being protective of the ones they think need help.
I honestly think that Samantha and Lorraine’s mother have a lot of similarities. First off Samantha and Lorraine’s mother hurt both Taylor (Samantha-Cyberbully) and (Lorraine- The Pigman). Samantha hurts Taylor by making a fake profile online and then told everyone that Taylor gave “him” an STD. Lorraine’s mother hurt her both physically and emotionally because she talks about her and hit her. Samantha and Lorraine’s mother both had problems with men and they both try to protect the people that they love, but are hurting them in the progress.
I agree with Cameron Brown because Lorraine's mother doesn't pay attention to her feelings or opinions.
I agree with Marcell because Samantha really didn't know it would effect Taylor. She thought she was protecting Taylor from Scott, but actually she was making her life even worst.
I agree with Cameron Brown because Samantha truly cared about Taylor, but Lorraine's mom didn't care about Lorraine at ALL!
Samantha and Lorraine’s mother are alike in many ways. One way is that both Ms. Jensen and Samantha are very protective of the people they care about. For example, Ms. Jensen was protective over her daughter Lorraine when it came to boys because her husband had cheated on her. Samantha is protective of Taylor because Taylor likes a guy name Scott. Samantha has dated him and he has broken her heart and she doesn’t want the same thing to happen to Taylor. They are different because Ms. Jensen didn’t like male’s period, however Samantha didn’t want Taylor to go through the same thing with her past boyfriend. Samantha and Ms. Jensen are trying to protect the people they care about, but they don’t know how to do it without hurting them.
I agree with Faith Moultrie because Ms. Jensen did hurt Lorraine emotionally and physically when she told Lorraine that she was ugly and fat and when she slapped her across her face. Samantha hurted Taylor when she made the fake profile to be James and Taylor had opened up to him and then she make up a comment saying she gave him STDs. They hurted someone they cared for deeply but the way they showed it doesn’t seem like they really care.
Samantha has had a kinda ruff past and this is because of her mom.Unlike Lorraine whos mom kinda hates her hanging out whit boys.Like Lorraines mom Samantries to protect her friend from a boy that she thinks is just playin her.
I agree with Marcell Bolden because Samantha did try to help Taylor, but just not the correct way. She shouldn’t have made the fake profile at all and maybe they wouldn’t be in this predicament.
I agree, yet disagree with Myranda B. because you said that Samantha and Lorraine's mother are different because they have different reasons of protecting Lorraine and Taylor. You listed Samantha's reason, but not Lorraine's mother reason. And they pretty much have the same reason, because according to "The Pigman",it states that Lorraine's mother has the same view of all men because she herself was hurt by her husband.
Samantha and Lorraine’s mother’s similarities are that they both hurt the ones closest to them. Their differences are that Samantha is a teenage girl and Lorraine’s mother is a grown woman. Samantha's past experience helps her to care a little more about her friends.
I agree with Maranda because she is trying to let Taylor avoid the predicament she was in
I also agree with Gabbrielle Mckay because Samantha and Lorraine have several differences
Samantha and Ms.Jensen are alike in many ways. One way is that they both hurt the person they love like Ms.Jensen telling Lorraine that she is ugly and fat and Samantha making the fake social media account and saying mean thing like Taylor gave "him" a STD . Also I agree with Faith Moultrie because Ms.Jensen did hurt lorrain physically and emotionally like when she slapped Lorraine and when she called her fat. And I agree with Cameron Brown because Samantha did care about Taylor but Ms. Jensen really didn't care about Lorraine
Samantha and Lorraine's mother are similar because Samantha was trying to protect Taylor from a boy also,Lorraine's mother was trying tom protect Lorraine from boys.Both has been hurt by men/boys in the past.Lorraine's mother and Samantha hurt the people they love ,but Samantha did on the internet and Lorraine's mother did it physically.
I beleave that samantha and lorraine's mother were alike in many ways but yet diffirent in many ways also.Samantha's is much more cruel that what Lorraine's mom went through because Samantha was having to stop her self from talking about others they were bulling her. She was having suicuide thoughts and on top of that it all was effecting her connections with her freinds.Lorraines mother was just over protective and really didnt care about peoples feelings.So i would have to agree with Faith Moulture about how one was geting hurt and one was giving the pain.
I agree with Myranda Bell because Samantha and Lorraine's mother did try to protect Lorraine and Taylor from a boy and I agree with some of the following students in sixth grade that said Lorraine's mom and Samantha was too overly protective.
Samantha and Lorraine's mother both hurt someone who they should care about, like Samantha should care about Taylor because that is her best friend, and Lorraine's mother should care about Lorraine because that is her daughter.Samantha's past has an effect on her decisions because it makes Samantha see things differently than her two friends, like Samantha got very mad at Taylor because of what Taylor said,but Taylor didn't mean it to hurt her feelings or to try to be mean but her past experience made her see it different.
I agree with Kourtney Burk because samantha and mrs.Jensen didn't think that men were good! But they only thing about is it Mrs.Jensen didn't want lorraine to have a nice man but samantha did. Samantha was just being jealous abot Taylor and the nice guy.
I agree with Kameron Langford because Lorraine's mother and Samantha had alot of differences such as Samantha was just being crazy and acting like that for that short period of time,but Lorrain's mother was just crazy in the head ,she had just been crazy like that for a while,she wasn't acting, like Samantha,she really was crazy.
I do not agree with Jemar Hardy because the were not both overly protected
Samantha is a nice person and an excellent friend, although she made a decision that ruined her friendship. Samantha is like Lorraine’s mother because she tried to protect her friend Taylor from a boy just like Lorraine’s mother tried to protect Lorraine from boys. They are different because Samantha wanted to protect Taylor from a boy because she was with a boy that got what he wanted and left her. Lorraine’s mother wants to protect Lorraine from boys because she can’t trust them anymore. Samantha’s experience with a boy affects her decision-making process because if she didn’t have that experience she wouldn’t be so protective to Taylor about a boy she likes and she wouldn’t know what would happen with Taylor and the boy. Taylor would have to find out the hard way of how to get her heart broken.
I agree with Myranda because Samantha did have mixed emotions throughout the movie. i felt she was trying to protect Taylor but didn't exactly know how to and that is why she had so many emotions.
I agree with Tamiya because Samantha did think that because of the boy she went out with was a person that only cares about one thing, that all boys are like that. little did she know all boys are not like. she just didn't give Scott a chance and get to know him better before judging him.
Samantha and Lorraine’s mother are similar because they both hurt the main character by saying things about them. Samantha and Taylor are friends but they have mixed feelings about each other one minute there happy and talking to each other ,next there fighting and down each other throat. Lorraine’s mother is like Samantha because she tries to protect her from boys by saying things about her looks to make her confidences in herself drop. Samantha is like Lorraine’s mother like her she tries to protect Taylor who is close to her but does it the wrong way. So that’s how they similar.
I agree with Mekiya because they do have some things important like they are very protective.
I agree with Derrin because they did hurt someone they love.
Samantha is one of Taylor’s best friends and wants to help her the best way that she can. Although, sometimes she may take it over the limit. Samantha is most similar to Mrs. Jensen, Lorraine’s mother, in the way that they don’t trust men and think they betray you, or boys in Samantha’s case. Also, they both try to protect the people they love most from the hurt that men can do. Lastly, they are alike because they both have bad experiences with males. On the other hand Samantha and Mrs. Jensen are different too. They differ from each other because of the simple reason that Samantha was only dating when her bad experience happened and Mrs. Jensen was actually married. Also, when Mrs. Jensen was trying to protect Lorraine she did it in a good way, unlike how Samantha decided to help Taylor. Which leads me into how does Samantha's past experiences have an effect on her decision- making process? Samantha’s past experiences with her ex-boyfriend Charlie help her decide that she wants to help protect Taylor from Scott. She also makes a decision to talk about Taylor after a past experience of Taylor making a negative comment about. Samantha’s initial reasons for doing what she did may have been good, but it didn’t end that way.
I disagree with Mekiya H. because Samantha never dated Scott; she dated his friend Charlie and assumed that they both treated girls the same way.
I disagree with Kendra S. because Samantha did purposely try to drive Taylor to suicide she only wanted to get back at her for making her negative comment about her experience with Charlie
I disagree with Avante W. in The Pigman Lorraines mother was trying too keep her from getting hurt. The movie cyber Bully Samantha was keeping Taylor from a guy named Scott.
Samantha and Ms.Jensen are lik two evil twins that don't think about the consequences of what they did and said to their friends and loved ones.Samantha in "CyberBully" tried to take matters into her own hands by getting on the Internet after her friend met a boy that she liked at school. Samantha made a fake profile on clicksters pretending to be a boy named james and after Taylor felt that she liked him and he liked her then he told him all her personal information. In the Pigman Ms.Jensen called her daughter ugly and fat and told her that her hair was too kinky,but Samantha was not trying to be mean she actually tring to help her firend Taylor,but she didnt know when enough is enough.Samantha and Ms. Jensen are alike, but these are two whole different situations.
I would lik to agree with Cynthia she is understanding the point that you Can't really compare a mother and a friend and say they are alike. These are two differnt situations and caused two different effects on their life
I would like to disagree with Mekiya because Samantha never dated Scott she dated his friend and she just assumed that he was going to be the same way as Charlie was.Smantha set up the fake profile not to her hurt friend but she wanted to protect her friend by pretending to be a boy named James so that she won't fall for Scott like she fell for Charlie.
I agree with Gabrielle McKay because Samantha is like Lorraine's mom because Lorraine's mom is protective over her and Samantha is protective over Taylor because she doesn't want her to get hurt by going out with Scott. I think she is protective over Taylor because in her past experience with guys didn't end well (just like Lorraine's mother). I think it was good for Samantha to be over protective because Taylor could have gotten hurt very bad.
Samantha is a good person, but when she started getting cautious about Taylor and her crushes. Samantha is just like Lorraine’s’ mother, because she is trying to protect Taylor from this boys. She’s doing this, because she doesn’t want the same thing to happen to her and her boyfriend. There also different, because they have different reasons why they are doing that. Because of Samantha’s experience of boys she wanted to protect Taylor from that.
Samantha was a bittersweet character in the movie. She was bittersweet because she had stared the rumors, also because in the beginning she was sweet and innocent. Samantha and Lorraine’s mom are over protective of the people close to them. They are different because Lorraine’s mom is her mother and Taylor is her best friend since forever. The one thing in common is they are trying to protect Taylor and Lorraine from boys. I think she dislikes boys and doesn’t trust them because they both had problems with boys.
I agree with Miranda B. but I disagree she wasn’t sweet although the whole movie she was the one who started the rumors. I agree with you saying she has mixed emotions.
I agree with Myranda B., because Samantha just wanted to protect Taylor from what happened to her.
I agree with Faith M. for saying that Ms. Jenson hurt Lorraine mentally and physically.
I agree with Charleston Walker, because they both were hurt by guys so they want to protect Lorraine and Taylor safe from that.
samantha is nicer than lorraines mother and samantha is actually gets hurt worser than ms jensen because ms jensen brought all that pain on herself while samantha was framed by her brother and bullies from school and her best friend
i desegree with avante because the qouestion didnt ask about lorraine the qouestion said lorraines mother ms jensen
I think that Lorraine's mother and Sammantha the same thing in common. They both think that they are protecting someone ( in Lorraine's case:Lorraine, and in Sammantha's case:Taylor)from a particular thing or person, but tgey reall are hurting them.
I also agree with Jamris>
Samantha and Lorraine's mother are alike because they both try to protect there loved ones from boys. Samantha made a fake profile to harass Taylor, claiming she was trying to protect her. Lorraine's mother just tries to protect her from ALL boys because Lorraine's father left her mom and ever since Lorraine's mother thinks that men are dirty and cruel.
. Both been hurt by men [boy]
.Both don’t trust men [boys]
.Lorraine Mother was older and Samantha is younger
.Lorraine mother is not cyber bullying Samantha is
Samantha's past experiences have an effect on her decisions because since she was hurt once she thinks that every guy is like that, so she does not trust them and maybe one day there could be a cool guy who is different but since she was hurt she won’t trust him. Samantha is a good friend but she is a little to protective because she shouldn`t have made an account and fooled Taylor like that that was mean. Her heart was in the right place just the wrong way to go about it.
I agree with Jahquincyia Pratt there trying to protect some one but are hurting them instead.
I agree with Kendra if you call her your friend why are you bullying that person and hurting them.
