Bullying, sexual harassment, and cyberbullying

Well, the presentation today was interesting. The prank made my heart race. I learned quite a few things during the talks. What did you think about the talk and did you lean anything? Did it make you realize anything about the bullying, harassment and cyber-bullying in our school.

Yes, the bullying presentation that we went to yesterday was very interesting. I thought that I learned a lot out of it, and some of the things the guy said made me realized that most of the students in Redfield High School, NEED to change. The thing that made me stop and think the most, is when the guy said that he asked the elementary who they thought was the biggest bully/bullies in their school, and they said the highschoolers. When he said that to us, that really made me stop and think. I don't think that people should be commiting suicide just over being bullied, but it happens all of the time all over the world. All that I have to say, is that all of the bullying that goes on, not just in our school or in our community, but just in the world; NEEDS to stop!

I would just like to start by saying the that prank did NOT scare me at all. I am positive that there's nothing on my phone for me to worry about. My biggest concern was what I was going to use for an alarm clock in the morning. I think the presentation was ok. I did kind of feel like I was being yelled at by "crazy grandpa" but maybe that's what some students in the audience needed to here (?) I dont really see any huge forms of bullying in our school. I'm sure it happens, but to me it seems to be pretty mild. I definately think that there are way more students who would work to stop bullying than ones causing it. We're a pretty oppinionated school, so I think we have the means to make it stop.

The presentation was intense and the prank made me realize how much people depend on their cell phones. I even got nervous, and I knew the prank was going to happen. I wasn't nervous because of the picture thing, because I have nothing to hide on my cell phone, it is just the thought of not having my phone for 3 days, and that scared me. I learned that even the littlest thing can set off a person, adn that little mean thing you said to them, could be the last straw, and could end someones life. Bullying and name calling is a serious problem in our school, if that would stop a lot less kids would go feeling like crap. School needs to be a friendly enviroment where everyone can feel comfortable and be theirself, and hopefully some day everyone will realize it.

I think that the talk was very intense and that he did a lot of scolding. I feel as though he may have been excessively harsh, yet he did get the point over. I learned that siblings do bully eachother although they may not think that they are. I learned that our school does have much more bullying than people think. Since the presentation I, personally, have seen a decrease in the bullying of kids at school. You don't hear or see as many people being called names or being pushed around.

I never knew that there was a problem with picking on your little sister or brother. I thought it was normal to be the bigger sister or brother to mess around with the little siblings. But it is also being a bully to them. I was in deed surprise to hear that the elementary school thought that we high schoolers were the bully. In my eyes I don't think that we were mean to them. I also really did not think there was a problem at the school in the first place. At the prsentation, I felt scared by the way the guy was talking, he might have been right but it seemed that he was yelling at us. I do not like people picking on people but that how it is and may never go away.

The bullying presentation was quite interesting and scary as well. It made me realize that just a small bullying situation can turn into major consequences. After listening to this seminar, I know that I will try to prevent bullying in the future. Also, the prank kinda scared and surprised me, but I thought it was a good prank.

The bullying presentation was very interesting. Although the prank that they pulled on us was very scary because that was one thing you don't want to hear. I will give them credit for being able to keep a straight face for the entire prank. The presentation did open my eyes to what goes on in schools especially ours because no matter what there is always bullying going on in schools. If you try to stop it that would be very helpful because then you wouldn't here of kids trying to kill themselves just because they were bullied. If we stopped all bullying in Redfield High School then I think our entire community would completely change. Personally, I believe that if we did this it would change our town for the better.

The bullying presentation was very interesting. The prank they pulled made me realize how much kids depend on their phones. The presentation tought me a lot. It tought me that just that a small bullying may make some one kill them self and even though you dont mean for it to go that far it happens and you have to deal with that for the rest of your life.

The bullying, sexual harassment, and cyber bullying presentation that took place at the school really opened the eyes of my fellow classmates and I. I know what runs through my mind when I see bullying and so on in the hallway, but I have never thought about what is entering the minds of others. During this presentation I kind of got and insight on what might be in the mind of the bully and the one getting picked on, this was VERY interesting. Also, the prank in general was an eye opener for all of the students; I for one was running through all the texts and phone calls that I had made previously.
