Using the resources provided and your own experience, define what bullying means to you.
Bullying is when someone purposely hurts someone else with words, on the internet, or physically continuously. Bullying makes people feel alone and not wanted. People sometimes turn a blind eye because they're scared of bullies or their parents. The different types of bullying are cyber bullying, physical bullying, and verbal bullying. Some people don't bully their are called bystanders. Bystanders have the power to stop bullying by telling a adult.

How does bullying affect people through different stages of their lives?
Victims of bullying might take time off school due to fear of being bullied. Victims have committed suicide because no one is helping and the bullying is very bad. They also might see a doctor to help with the distress of bullying. Bullying can cause you to not be able to sleep out of fear of facing the bully. Bullying can't be easily forgotten and can be remembered for the victims whole life and may cause depression. Bullies aren't always kids or teens they are sometimes adults, at work or even sometimes at home. As kids get older bullying could change into cyber bullying because teens might be on the internet more often. Boys and Girls bully each other differently. Boys tend to physically hurt each other. Girls tend to verbally hurt each other or not include each other in their group(also called a clique).

Why do people bully?
Bullies can be leaders of a gang and bully to make them feel important and powerful. There might be someone the bully knows that bullies them and to feel better bully someone weaker. Bullies might be jealous of the person they're bullying. Bullies might think bullying is cool and will make them popular. Bullies could want more attention and by bullying think they will get it. Bullies probably feel insecure about themselves and to feel better bully others.

How can you deal with bullying?
Do deal with bullying try to ignore the bully because bullies like a reaction. If you see bullying tell a adult about what you saw. By joining a team or a group to make friends or to get your mind off bullying. If you stand up to the bully and show you're not afraid the bully or bullies will probably leave you alone. If the bully is hurting you don't fight back it will often make the bullying worse. If the bully is chasing you on your way home take a different route to not run into the bully. Do not join in the bullying or let it happen. A bad way to deal with bullying is doing drugs and skipping school.

Friends who were part of the bullying might not like them anymore. People could start bad rumours about them. Some people might start insulting them. Or they may even be insulted on the internet.

How can documentaries raise awareness to bullying?

People will also see that adults can and need to do more. It can be inspiring to other people to do more projects on bullying to spread information.

How have you researched your exhibition project? Discuss areas of success and areas that have been a challenge for you.
I got most of the information from the websites on the home page. Sometimes it was hard to stay on task. Because we were such a big group we could spread out more and get more work done at once. Some of the information came from the book "Talking about bulling."

Explain the making of your film, from pre-production to post-production.
First we had to think of ideas for our documentary. When we thought of idea of interviewing kids from different grades to get their answers on bullying. We made up questions to ask the kids. Then we interviewed the kids. After that we imported the footage on the macs. Then we used final cut pro to edit our film. We deleted all the footage we didn't want. After that ordered all the good footage. Then we edited all the sound. Then we put transitions in our film. We had to chose the green screen picture for Toby"s introduction. Then we put music in our documentary. After all of this stuff you explain the making of your film, from pre-production to post-production.

What have you learned about bullying through the course of the exhibition process?
I learned the affects of bullying to many different people through different stages of their life. I also learned about relational bullying and about cliques how they often exclude people from their group.I learned why people bully and that adults aren't always helping the victims of bullying.

Has working on the exhibition changed your outlook on bullying, bullies or those that are bullied? Discuss.
I knew bullying was the fact that teachers don't do much about the bullying makes it worse. I think bullies need help to stop bullying others because they are bullying for a reason. People who are bullied need to tell a adult about it so they can get the bullying stopped. I don't think bullies are getting enough discipline because kids are committing suicide because of the bullying and some teachers are only noticing the bullying is bad then.

What skills have you developed over the course of the exhibition //(research, communication, organization, etc.)//
I have gotten better at using the computer from spending more time on it. I got better at not cutting corners and doing more work then I think. I still want to get better at describing information in my own words. I think I organized my answers to the questions well. =**Film making**=
