Watch+and+Respond

Bullying is a topic that affects our society everyday. We notice bullying in our classrooms, schools, home, communities. There are many different types of bullying. There is physical bullying, verbal bullying, and cyber bullying just to name a few. I would like you to watch the videos below and reflect upon them and really think about the message of the video. Write a few sentences in response to each video. Think about your reactions and thoughts about not only the video but bullying in general.

[|Video 1:] This video made me realize that the smallest act can make someone feel better. Bullying may not end with one single persons act but small changes lead to big changes. The person died their hair to make the victim of bullying feel better and the bullies stopped what they were doing. A simple thing such as dying their hair impacted one life. I think a lot of the times the people who are the bullies are insecure and may have more issues than the victim.

[|Video 2:] This was a very strong video. I think that people often think of bullying as physical when verbal bullying can be the most painful. Words can really hurt and I think that physical pain may eventually heal but emotional pain from name calling may truly affect you and stay with you for the rest of your life.
