Using the resources provided and your own experience, define what bullying means to you.
Bullying means that someone is judging someone and taking power over them which makes them feel bad about themselves. When bullies bully they might beat up the person that they are bullying. When this happens other people don't want get bullied so they will join the bullies side to avoid getting bullied. If you are a bully it can lead to worse things when you get older like criminal offense. There are different types of bullying like cyber bullying, verbal bullying and physical bullying. Cyber bullying is when somebody posts mean things about people on line. Verbal bullying is when the bully calls somebody mean names or says mean things about them. Physical bullying is when the bully is beating up the target. After the bully has bullied the target for a while the target might get to be more cautious about running into the bully and be scared to go to school because they are afraid of getting bullied again.

Why do bullies bully?
some of the reasons that bullies bully are because they have been bullied by someone else and they take their anger off on someone else or something that happens in their home like parental abuse. Almost all the reasons bullies bully have some thing to do with anger. Bullies might bully for no reason at all they just want to make people feel bad.

These emotions are what you might feel when you are being bullied like one kid named Mitchell Wilson who was 11 when he committed suicide because he was being bullied so bad and would have felt all of these emotions. There was another kid named Jacob White who was also 11 and he wanted to commit suicide because he was also being bullied. His bully would throw rocks at him, beat him up. Jacob said that he had to try to constantly avoid him. Mitchell Wilson dealt with the same type of bullying. If you are being bullied you might be scared to go to school everyday or have nightmares about the bully.

How would feel if your friend was being bullied?
If your friend is being bullied you might feel mad and want to stand up for them. Sometimes you might be too scared to stand up so you will just watch. This is called being a bystander. Bystanders are not helpful because they are giving the bully an audience which makes them want to hurt the target even more. You might be scared to go to school because you might think you're next.

Our movie will help stop bullying because when people watch it they will think about how it would feel if they were being bullied and want to stand up to bullying so nobody feels what it is like to be bullied.

How do bullies feel when they are bullying?
