Mid-Term: Bullying

One of the major problems in this country is bullying. In fact, most kids living in America are bullied, bullying or have been bullied. I know that people hear about it a lot but they don’t really stress it like they should. It’s not a topic you can just talk about once and expect kids to listen. Bullying is serious. What we are trying explain are they dangers of bullying. Here we interviewed people who were victims of bullying and see how it affected them. Again the people who were interviewed are anonymous.
   
Q: What is bullying?
Victim 1-"Bullying is making someone feel bad about themselves. It can also be described as harassment or abuse."
Victim 2- "Bullying is when you make fun of people and make them feel bad about themselves. Also when they make fun of you for anything you do."
Q: What are the types of bullying that you know about?
Victim 1- "Everything"

Victim 2- "Verbal, physical, and mental"

Q: How did it make you feel when you were being bullied?

Victim 1- "Like crap"

Victim 2- "It made me feel like nobody and alone. And it made me feel like i was a loser and ugly"

Q: Have you ever told anyone about the bullying?

Victim 1- "No"

Victim 2- "No"

Q: Do you still suffer from bullying?

Victim 1- " Mentally yes"

Victim 2- "No but it still affects me from what the people did back then to me"


As you can see bullying is not a fun thing to go through. People from all ages can be bullied it doesn't matter. Bullying is serious. It affects people and make them feel bad which no innocent person should ever feel.

Mid-Term (natavia & Brenda) SNOW DAYS

This is the time of year when people on the east coast are preparing for the snow that's ready to come their way. Some people are excited about it. And some are not. I'm  not really much of a snow lover like some people are but i don't despite it either. Most kids around the U.S loves when it snows because if the delays or no school. But we (my friend natavia and i) thought if teachers felt the same way as their students. So we did a survey about if they like snow days or not, and what their opinion about it. Here is what the people we interviewed ( which will be anonymous) have to say.

Q: Do you like snow?
A:
Teacher 1- "Yes"
Teacher 2- "Depends on the type of learning going on like projects and things like that"
Student 1- "Yes"
Student 2- "No"

Q: Do you want it to snow as fast as possible?
A:
Teacher 1- "No"
Teacher 2- "I don't care"
Student 1- "No"
Student 2- "No"

Q: What's one thing you hate about snow?
A:
Teacher 1- "The rodes aren't safe"
Teacher 2- "You have to shovel"
Student 1- "Ice is slippery"
Student 2- "Clothes get wet"

Q: Do you count on the weather man to know what's the weather is going to be like?
A:
Teacher 1- "Yes"
Teacher 2- " Yes"
Student 1- "No"
Student 2- "No"



If we were to interview an actual weatherman we would've asked him/her the following questions.

Q: Do you think it's going to snow anytime soon?

Q: What's your personal opinion about snow?

Q: From the radar, how do you know it's going to snow?

Q: Are your predictions always accurate?

And this is are conclusion of the topic that we found.
