Using the resources provided and your own experience, define what bullying means to you.
Bullies think that they are bigger and stronger then the victims. The bullies gang up on a person and bully him or her in a physical manner or a verbal assault. Bullies normally bully because of low self esteem or problems at home or they themselves are being bullied. Cyber bullying is one of the most aggressive type of bullying. Cyber bullying involves using any kind of technology to hurt or intimidate others, their reputation, or their relationships. Cyber bullying creates a great deal of worrying for the victim because he or she can be bullied at any time or 24 hours which is even worse then just bullying someone in school because then that person can not escape.

Why do bullies bully?
Because they think that they are better then you in some way and a probably bullied them selves at home by parents or relatives. When they hang out with their friends ( if they have any ). Bullies bully because they maybe angry at you or jealous of you. You could be bullied physically like have rocks throne at you or get beat up and get a bloody nose from a bad blow on the face. Bullies are normally lonely people that don't have any friends except if they are the leaders of a big gang which attacks and bullies smaller kid. A if the bully gang is in grade six they will bully weak grade sixes or any grades lower then them. In Mitchel's case he was being bullied 24 hours around the clock because at school he is being bullied physically

How would you feel if you were being bullied?
You would feel very stressed out or suicidal, angry, betrayed or sad. You would probably feel suicidal if it was a very bad case of bullying in where you would be bullied at home at school and basically everywhere. A boy named Jacob White from Whitby, ON is an example of a kid who felt suicidal because of bullying. He had a bully at school which at first started with the bully calling him names then the conflict escalated and then there was violence with the bully throwing rocks at him and shoving him to the ground and punching him and kicking him. Bullies will make you feel bad everyday and you may not be able to sleep. You may even start getting sick to not go to school and not face your bullies. You will try to prevent it in bizarre ways such as not going to school or going to court or maybe even considering committing suicide.

How would you feel if your friend was being bullied?
You would feel shy or nervous, outraged and if you are brave enough you will stand up for your friend. You would probably be a bystander if you felt shy or nervous but if you where brave and wanted to stand up and help your friend you would probably be the person which stands up and helps. You may even be the solution. If you are shy you should talk to someone you trust like your parents or a relative. But one of the best people to talk to is your teacher because if the bully is in your school or in your class the teacher can stop it that instant.

How do bullies feel when they are bullying?
Bullies normally feel strong or more powerful then the person that they are bullying and probably have fun and enjoy bullying and ganging up on that person. Bullies may feel angry because the person they are bullying may have done something that they didn't like and now they are getting their revenge. Bullies may also feel relief because they themselves are being bullied buy older people or their parents. Bullies also bully because they may be scared and the only cure they know is to scare other people. They may also think it makes them fit in and then get popular get a gang and bully even more people. If bullies feel sad they may try to show their feelings on other people.

How will our movie help stop bullying?
We hope that our movie will cause kids to standup and fight against bullies and bully kind to save the world from bullies. We are also hoping that our movie will help parents and guardians to stop bullying their children.

What is your project?
Our movie is based on helping kids to standup to bullies. We are trying to get out a simple but powerful message ( STOP BULLYING!!!)

How is your project connected to your central idea?
Our movie is connected to our central idea because it has good examples of people standing up to bullying. There will be many anti-bullying moments in the movie. = =

=**Film making**= Making the film was a fun but hard task because we had to edit and write the scripts and re. But still the experience of film making was amazing and I hope that the final result will be spectacular.

What are your responsibilities for your project?
The responsibilities for our project were to finish filming and editing at a certain time. And that we had to think of the script and type it down. Also we needed to be the suppliers of the costumes.

What resources will you need?
The resources that we needed where the costumes which where our casual clothes. We had also needed the green screen so that we could film the future parts which where when Dave and Bart met Ron ( Rob and Seb met Lilly ) or when they went into Ron's house which was a spaceship. We had also needed lots of great actors for the movie //The Time Bully.// =Discussion Questions=

What have you learned about bullying through the course of the exhibition process?
I have learned that bullying is very bad because some people even commit suicide. Their are many different type's of bullying such as verbal bullying cyber bullying and physical bullying and many other horrible type's of bullying.

How have you researched your exhibition project? Discuss areas of success and areas that have been a challenge for you.
I researched my exhibition project by visiting websites like Kids help phone.com and by reading books about bullying.
