Client meeting

We did a comic book about bullying not a story, we wrote some useful information about bullying. We wrote types of bullying, and we put pictures on how to stop bullying around the world. We are very proud on what we did because we worked very hard. we wrote how children feel when they are bullied. We wrote that people feel left out when they are bullied, and how we need to stop people from becoming bullies.

Final Evaluation for Bullying

I think that we worked very well on our project. We didn't waste time on playing, we used the time very wisely by researching on what we had to do and doing the best booklet ever. Making the booklet colorful, highlighting the pictures and making it not boring but fun. Next time we should use colored paper instead of white because if you put white it makes it seem plain, if we put colorful it will make the information stand out.

We had a bit of mixed up in the beginning with the plan. we have got good feed backs on our project from our friends, they said that it is very cool. It can make a lot of differences in schools and in the world.

Investigating Bullying Compare&Contrast Websites

Are they well designed?

They are all designed perfectly, they have good pictures and information about Bullying and this site is very helpful and can find out things easily, there is not many dark colors and are confusing they are easy to use and to understand.

Who is the audience?

Some bullying websites are for different stages:

PBS - IT's MY LIFE - BULLYING is for kids and teenagers.

ANTI-BULLYING WEBSITE is i think for upper grades like Senior people.

What is it intended for ?

it is ade to help people stop bullying, and to be a better person. It can help us learn and the consequences that we can get by doing these harmful things.

Where?

These things can happen everywhere for example at school, malls, street and at home too.

How?

To get revenge if they are in a bad mood or some people bully to show that they are strong and to be popular.




Here is a picture that some games that help us understand why bullying is very bad!!

Investigating Bullying


What is Bullying?

Bully. What does the word make you think of? For some people, it's that girl at school who always makes fun of them. For others, it's the biggest guy in the neighborhood who's always trying to beat them up or take their things. Sometimes "bully" means a whole group of kids, ganging up on

someone else. No matter what situation or form it comes in, bullying can make you feel depressed, hurt, and alone. It can keep you from enjoying the activities and places that are part of your life.



Types of Bullying:

Let's start by looking at the different kinds of bullying:

Physical bullying means:

  • Hitting, kicking, or pushing someone...or even just threatening to do it
  • Stealing, hiding or ruining someone's things
  • Making someone do things he or she don't want to do

Verbal bullying means:

  • Name-calling
  • Teasing
  • Insulting

Relationship bullying means:

  • Refusing to talk to someone
  • Spreading lies or rumors about someone
  • Making someone do things he or she doesn't want to do

What do all these things have in common? They're examples of ways one person can make another person feel hurt, afraid, or uncomfortable. When these are done to someone more than once, and usually over and over again for a long period of time, that's bullying.

The reason why one kid would want to bully another kid is this: when you make someone feel bad, you gain power over him or her. Power makes people feel like they're better than another person, and then that makes them feel really good about themselves. Power also makes you stand out from the crowd. It's a way to get attention from other kids, and even from adults.
