Using the resources provided and your own experience, define what bullying means to you.
What bullying means to me is:
 * Ganging up on people and/or trying to beat them up.
 * Fighting people and teasing people just to have people think you are cool even when your not.
 * Some of the reasons bullies bully is because they have nothing better to do, they were/are being bullied, the bully could be going through something bad in their family.
 * Other types of bullying is cyber-bullying which means bullying on the internet such as Twitter, email, Facebook and blogs. verbal bullies which means people bullying with words that could be offensive, racist, mean, rumors and teasing.

Why do bullies bully?
The main reasons why most bullies bully is because of jealousy, stuff they see at home, they are being bullied, they have nothing better to do, to feel strong, to have people think they are cool,afraid, envious, cruel, angry, insecure, and unhappy.

People who bully are unhappy and they take out their unhappiness on others. People who bully feel little or no responsibility for their actions, and often feel the need to control others and may always feel the need to win. Bullies do not know how people feel when they are being bullied.

How would you feel if you were being bullied?
This is about a 10 year old kid named Colton 1. Angry because he wouldn't want to fight 2. Unhappy because someone would be picking on him 3. Annoyed because someone would be trying to give him a headache 4. Colton was bullied all year round, and he felt scared because he was small and weak. 5. He was called names like stupid and dumb 6.

When I was in grade one One day outside on a hot recess day me and a friend(Brendan) were playing with toys and we each tried to say that ours was better than each otherhe said ours are both equally good and I said no mine is better. then he went to five grade fours that were his friends to beat me up. so they chased me but I was to fast for them. then one of them grabbed me by my shirt, than they all grabbed me than I escaped like a warrior/soldier than they ran up to me one by one, and I punched and I kicked them and then when they were all beat up I went up to my no longer a friend friend and gave him a big punch into his face and I told him NO MINE IS BETTER! and I walked away to play with my best friend
