  1. I think bullying is when a bigger kid picks on a smaller kid. They can call the kid names and make them feel bad about themselves. Bullies bully kids to make them feel better about themselves.

  2. People bully others because they think it makes them look cool or seem powerful. But in reality it only hurts people so if we all learned not to make fun of people Rosevelt would be a safer school.

  7. I think that people bully because maybe they get bullied at home so they think that it's right and when people bully others it might make them feel better then the other person because they're hurting the persons feelings.

  9. I think that bullying is when people physically, verbally, and emotionally hurt people, or when people make others feel small and powerless.

    Bullies bully because they want to show people that they are tough, and that they are powerful. They also want to get attention.

  10. I would consider bullying anything that is harmful or said affending someone physicaly or mentaly.

    No, I don't think bullys always realize what their doing because they might be telling a joke or making a comment that they want to be funny but other people may not think so and they might know its bullying but don't want to say anything.

  11. I consider bulying when someone does something mean or does something that makes another person feel bad.Or when someone says something or makes a joke at the exspence of another persons feelings. Also when a person does something to make another person feel insecure, that is what I think bullying is.

  12. -I consider it bullying when someone is making fun of or mocking someone behind someones elses back or to their face. and of corse physical bullying too.
    -No I don't think everyone realises that they are bullying because they could think that something is funny when really they are hurting someone elses feeling.
    -I think that people bully because they think it's funny, or that people they look up to do that and it makes it ok or they have been hurt before.

  16. I consider bullying as anything that could hurt someones feelings. Some forms of bulliny are words, violence, and even just ignoring someone. I think many people don't know that they're bulling people since they might see someone alone and act like they're not even there. The person probabaly doesn't think they're bulling the person.

  21. I think bullies bully other people because they feel insecure about themselves and they want to make other people feel as bad or worse than feel themselves. Or they could be having troubles at home with their family.
