Using the resources provided and your own experience, define what bullying means to you.
A person who hurts or intimidates other people or weaker people. There are different types of bullying such as cyber bullying, physical bullying, and verbal bullying. The person who is being mean is called a bully and the person who the bully is bullying is called the victim. Victims sometimes don't know that they are being bullied because the bully could be talking about them behind their back. A bystander is a person who knows that another person is getting bullied and doesn't do anything about it because he or she is too scared to. People bully because sometimes they try to make themselves feel good by making others feel bad. Sometimes bullies are jealous of the person they are bullying. If someone is getting bullied and they want to stop it a good way to do that is to tell an adult they trust about what is happening. Sometimes people think that they deserve to be bullied so they don't stand up to the bully. If you are being bullied it is very important that you tell an adult that you trust like your parents or your teacher. If you don't tell someone that you are being bullied and think that the problem will just go away It will make things worse. Never try to fight a bully. There are other ways to stand up for yourself. Telling someone that you are getting bullied is not telling tales. Children often worry that if they tell a teacher or an adult about being bullied, the bully will find out and make things worse for them. Teachers won't tell bullies how they know about them being a bully to other people. If you see someone being bullied then you should say something. A bystander is a person who is aware of the bullying but doesn't do anything about it. Sometimes bystanders are scared to stand up to the bully so they either join in or just stand there and don't do anything. If you stand up to the bully and he or she won't stop a good thing to do is to tell someone who you trust about the problem such as a guidance counselor, a teacher, parents or a guardian. Bullying is different for everyone. When you first start school like in kindergarten a bully probably won't bully you in violent types of ways. A bully in kindergarten would probably just call you names or steal your snacks. As a bully who is in high school can do much more things like being physical or doing things like call people bad names. If you get bullied in kindergarten it would probably won't effect you but if someone bullied you in high school and pushed you around and was physical with you it would effect you more then it would when you were younger. //"Just give me a knife"// Just give me a knife is an article in the newspaper about a boy who was being bullied. He was being bullied so badly that one day he came and said to his mom "Can you give me a knife so I can kill myself". He said that because he was getting bullied so badly that he wanted to kill himself. "//Boy couldn't survive bullying//". There once was a boy named Mitchell Wilson. Mitchell was also getting bullied. One day Mitchell was walking home with his walker. He had a medical condition so he had to use a walker. He was listening to music on his dad's iPhone then suddenly a group of boys came and mugged him. They were all wearing their hoods up so no one new who they where. They took his dad's iPhone and they also attacked Mitchell. Mitchell was so beat up that he was lying on the sidewalk bleeding. Then his stepmother drove by and saw a boy bleeding on the ground with a group of boys beating him up. She took a closer look and noticed it was Mitchell. She got out of her car and started chasing the bullies. The one who had the iPhone threw it at the stepmother's car window and it shattered to pieces. Then that night Mitchell couldn't stand being bullied so he put a plastic bag over his head and killed himself. The next morning his dad found him in his bed dead. The more people who watch the video the more people will know what a bully is and how to stop a bully and how to stand up to them. Until around the age of 4 girls and boys hurt other kids in the same way. Little girls hit, push, and grab toys the same way little boys do.When they get older boy bullies still bully other in the same way. They often bully kids they are not friends with. Sometimes when you are friends with someone and they lose intreast in you and start hanging out with other people its hard especially when the new friend is a bully. If the new friend is a bully sometimes the friend starts to bully with the bully and if that happens then they sometimes they be mean to you. Relational bullying is bullying by trying to hurt other girls relationships. It can mean telling secrets, spreading lies It can mean trying to turn someone's friend against her. It can mean leaving someone out for example inviting every girl in the grade to a slumber party except for one person. Or it can mean making friends with someone just to hurt someone else. Boys can be relational bully's too, but study's have shown that boys and girls usually bully differently. The typical boy bully is bigger ans stronger than the victim. He also tends to be bossy. A clique is a small circle of friends. The popular group is a clique. There are lots of different types of cliques too. They are often formed in common interest, like music, sports or what neighborhood you are from. Having a group of friends can be a good thing. But a clique tends to send rules for who can and can't belong. Cliques are most common in high school and middle The truth is most kids aren't just bullies or just victims. They might be the bully in one situation and the victim in the other. they are called bully- victims. Sometimes if someone was being mean to you in the day at school you might be mean to someone else. If that happens try to think Did someone tease you earlier and try to another way to feel powerful like riding a bike, or work on a hard math problem. Sometimes one of your friends start hanging out with a new group and it can be hard for her old friend. This is true if the new friends aren't nice. You might wonder if losing her friendship was somehow your fault. When a friendship ends it's usually not because either of the friends. It is because girls interest change and they become more interested in people who have the same likings as them. Sometimes the new friends don't like the old friend so they bully them and the old friend who is now friends with the bully bully's the old friend too. It is hard when you are friends with the bully and the victim. Sometimes if you are with the bully and he or she starts to bully your other friend/ victim when you are with the bully. Sometimes if that happens some people go to help the bully but others go to help the victim.

How have you researched your exhibition project? Discuss areas of success and areas that have been a challenge for you.
For my research I usually used books because they are easy to use when you need to find one specific topic. I also used websites but I liked books better. I sometimes used newspaper articles because they have real life stories and you need real life story's in your wiki.

Explain the making of your film, from pre-production to post-production.
First we thought of questions to ask the people.then what we did was pick people that we think would be independent and not fool around to be in our film. Then we filmed everyone and gave them a permission form that says if they can or can't be in the film. After we were done all of the filming were started editing and we filmed Toby for when he speaks in the beginning of the film. Then when we were done the editing we gathered all of the permission forms and we were done our film.

What have you learned about bullying through the course of the exhibition process?
I learned a lot more like the different types of bullying. I also learned really cool facts and lots of interesting stories that I never heard of before i also didn't now that bullying could get as bad as it can get. I new it was bad but before I did bot now how bad it can get. I never new that some people commit suicide because of bullying.

Has working on the exhibition changed your outlook on bullying, bullies or those that are bullied? Discuss.
It changed my outlook of bullying. because I didn't know how bad it can get and I learned a lot so when I learn more it changes what I think about bullying. I already new that bullying was bad but not I now that bullying can be very threatening some people even commit suicide because of bullying. I never knew It can get that bad. I also didn't now

What skills have you developed over the course of the exhibition //(research, communication, organization, etc.)//
I have developed research skills because for our wikis we have to do research and it made me better because if you practice it makes you better at what you are practicing. I also worked on my communicating skills by talking with my group and making decisions. My organization got better because I had to organize my research and I was the one who kept the green book and the brown permission form folder and I had to keep those organized too. =**Film making**=
