bullying

Yesterday me and the rest of my english class watched a movie about this kid being bullyed. In the movie there was a boy named Jami who was open about being homosexual. Ever since he was in the middle school he had been picked on because of this reason. He told the teachers and the principle about his fellow students picking on him but they only said boys will be boys and sent him on his merry way. He  became to scared to go to school and ran away from home. He finally took the situation to court where he suied his school for not protecing him while he was attending school. He won the case and to many people it was relief because they felt that if spoke out that they could to.

Sexual Harassment

In the book "Twisted" George Washington High School had a clothing optional day. In the book the girls whore clothing that showed alot of skin. The girls were getting mad because the boys were making sexual remarks. Many girls walk around with their boobs hanging out or their butt hanging out of the bottem of thier shorts, or skiirts. Being any reqular teenage guy their bound to say a crude/sexual remark. I feel dont want them to say any harmful then you shouldnt wear anything like that out where there are guy. If you allow yourself to wear these type of cloths then you shouldnt complain about the guys looking at you.

Cyber Bulling

A few days ago we had a guest spearker named Josh Gunderson. The speaker reached topics as sexting, cyber bullying, and telling to much information in the internet(facebook). Everyday we teens spend about 93min a day on facebook. Many of us reveal alot of personal info. We often talk to people we dont know and tell them our personal info such as our name and where we live. We update statuses on where we are going when we'll get back and usually if we have the house alone. Josh told me and mthis year and y peers about this girl who was new at school and one of the most populer guys asked her out to the dance. The other girls at school didnt understand why the popular guy asked her and not them so they began bullyig  her sending her really nasty txt messgaes and calling her phone with nasty comments. The girl soon got tierd of it and decided to take her own life. In the book "Twisted" the main characters name is Tyler. Tyler has also been a victum of bullying. In the story he states that he is a waste of human flesh and he wishes someone would take his life.When you are a victum of bullying you should not respond to what he/she might say, block the bully on facebook, talk to a trusted adult, and not retaliat. http://www.haveyoumetjosh.com/
