Using the resources provided and your own experience, define what bullying means to you.
Bullying is when someone is mean to someone else the person that is being mean is called a bully and the person that the bully is hurting is called a victim. There are also bystanders they are people that do not do anything just stand by and know that someone is getting bullied. The bully would bully the victim either by cyber bullying, verbal bullying and or physical bullying. The bully has a lot of power over the victim. Bullying is continuous, the bully doesn't just pick on someone once it happens daily or very often. Bullies bully because they have low self esteem and it makes them feel better when they bully in front of others, they also bully because they are jealous of the person they bully. Another cause of bullying is if you have an older sibling(s) and they have been mean to you or are still being mean to you. You might bully because you want to be popular or because you like winning. In kindergarten bullying isn't that bad it's usually just kids not letting each other play with them or grabbing toys or supplies without asking but while you get older bullying changes when you start school kids start to be mean they will make fun of what you wear because it's not pretty or because it looks funny they also bully the victim by violence like shoving and punching, or kicking. In high school it might start to be like making fun because your body hasn't changed yet. Kids are often afraid of telling a teacher or adult about being bullied because they are afraid that the bullying is gonna get worse than it already is. There are also bystanders, bystanders just stand by and see the person get bullied but then they do nothing because they are afraid that if they do something the bully will bully them. They have the right to tell someone and they can but they are usually to scared to. When you are getting bullied don't be afraid of telling a teacher, parent or anyone that you trust it will make you feel way better and they can tell the bully to stop and they can help you in general. Most people are to scared to tell someone because they think that the bullying will get worse than it already is. If someone teases you and you feel weak and not powerful just ride a bike or relax, play with some good friends. A very bad way to deal with bullying is bullying someone else it might fell good but in stead of making your self feel better you are making someone else feel worse. A other bad way to bullying is fighting cause you are probably gonna get hurt, you will probably get in trouble because you hurt someone else. Even Tom Cruse got bullied he felt like fighting back with physical fight but then he thought this might change my life so he thought he should probably should not. I think that documentaries raise awareness because everyone watches them and the bully would probably feel bad and maybe realize that what they are doing is wrong and that they should stop bullying. They could see how everyone watched it and then everyone would see him and then he will feel bad and then stop bullying people. What is a clique? A clique is when a group of people join together and make a big group and then they would bully someone or a smaller group of kids and the victim(s) will feel even more afraid of telling someone else. It usually happens with girls. When you are very little bullying is not that bad boys and girls both slap and grab toys the same way but when you start school (gr 3-6) girls tend to start to talk behind other peoples back and boys start to fight physically then in high school it gets miserable a lot of kids commit suicide then because they just can't take it anymore. The truth is that most people are a victim in situation but a bully in another situation because it totally depends on the situation in one you might be a victim because someone was bullying you but then in another situation when you make someone feel bad.

=**Discussion Questions**=

How have you researched your exhibition project? Discuss areas of success and areas that have been a challenge for you.
I've been using websites, books and newspaper articles. I think that i got the most research from books and newspaper articles. I think that the research was pretty hard but we had a lot of fun doing it together as a group. I think that I did pretty good at it.

What have you learned about bullying through the course of the exhibition process?
That it is very stupid and not good and that the people that bully do not have that many reasons to bully someone just because you have a low self esteem or because they are jealous of the person they are being mean to.

Has working on the exhibition changed your outlook on bullying, bullies or those that are bullied? Discuss.
Yes, it has I did not know that kids have killed them self's just because of some stupid things some kids do other kids to me I think that it is very stupid and i am very sure that a lot of people agree with me.
