Yesterday we watched a movie in class called Bullied about a student who was gay and had no friends and was getting injured and his life was at risk everyday. This movie made me think of all the people that get bullied because of what other people think. In the movie we watched the kid was gay and people called him names and physically hurt him. Some questions we got after the movie were do people at your school get bullied? I believe some people do get bullied at our school but not a lot. What do people get bullied for? People at my school might get bullied because of there clothes, age, height, weight, looks, etc. Do teachers do anything to stop bullying? Yes teachers do a lot at our school to prevent bullying from happening.
This movie is about bullying and it is giving teachers ways to prevent it from happening. The article is about helping teachers and counslers to create a safer enviroment for not just gays or lesbians but all kids.
