Write a reflection on your blog about your experiences and feelings relating to bullying. Use these ideas to guide you:

Make a list of five adjectives to describe how the students in this video feel. You can choose the bullies or the student being bullied.
Make a list of five possible kinds of bullying that you have seen or experienced. Think about how each kind of bullying makes you feel.
Organise the items in your list in order of seriousness, one being the most serious.

Choose two of your friend's blogs. Read their reflections about bullying. Respond to their posts as follows:

Describe to your friend which of your adjectives and experiences are the same as theirs?
What new adjectives and experiences from your friends list could you add to your list?
Describe to your friends why you think the topic of bullying is relevant to the YHES community.

From your blog reflections, you see that bullying is a meaningful topic for everyone at YHES. The big question is...
How can we inform other students about the seriousness of bullying?

and

How can we stop bullying at YHES?
