Bystander No More, Let's Take ACTION!

11/24/2016

Watch the following video and see how the girl must feel as she goes through her day. We continue to hear and say that we won’t bully and we won’t be bystanders but do we put ourselves in the shoes of those who are bullied? Are we empathizing with what the day must be like? For your weekly blog post this week, I would like you to write the story of the bullied character’s day. Not the day where it gets better but the day before. Write her story from when she gets up one morning to when she goes to bed. Include interactions with her parents, her teachers and her friends. If we can try to understand a little more how it feels to live that life, maybe we can work even harder to make a difference in the lives of those around us.

"Mother please." I beg. "My head really hurts." I fib. My mom shakes her head. "You're fine." She insists. "But-" "No." she cuts me off. "You're going to school today." I let out a collective sigh. My mother has to work, so I walk to school alone. No one talks to me anymore. I pass the cemetery and see my dad's tombstone. Tears leak out the corners of my eyes, the grief of the funeral three weeks ago still fresh. I walk into the school with my head down. "Wimp." One kid whispers to his friend and they quickly move on. "Crybaby, crybaby." Someone starts chanting. I see Chantelle, my best friend standing at her locker ahead. I start to smile, but she rushes away at the sight of me. If only everyone knew about my dad. The day drags on, and I keep my head down low. "You all right?" My science teacher asks me. "Fine." I say shortly, briskly moving along. Chantelle doesn't talk to me, but I see her whispering to some other girls. I pull at a thread on my black clothing. When they day ends, I hurry home. I read quietly in my room, only coming down for dinner. "Are you all right Willow?" She asks. I deftly nod my head. At 10:00, I go back up to my room. I pull the covers of my bed up to my chin and turn out the light. I can't get to sleep though. I never can these days.

As i hear the alarm buzz, i sigh, just another one of these days, i get out of bed and look at myself in the mirror, i can already hear everyone chanting " ugly " and loser and more. I finally get downstairs and i tell my mom i have a bad stomach ache and i feel like im gonna throw up. Thats nonsense says my mom. Your going to school and thats that. I run upstairs with tears in my eyes. I get dressed into the nicest outfit i can wear to school. I walk out the door with tears still in my eyes and i walk up to my friend. She runs away. Wimp... Loser... i hear down the street. I went through the day with people calling me things all day. I ignored them. As i came up into bed i saw my mom on my bed. Hi honey how was school?! Good. I said. She said okay. And went downstairs. I went through the night thinking all about it and at the end of the night, i tucked into bed hoping tomorrow will be a new day.

As she heard her alarm clock go off, a wave of sadness went over her. It was Thursday. As she got out of bed her mom came in. " Good morning" said mom " are you ready for school". "Yah" she said. She wanted to say no but something was holding her back. She got herself ready and ate. Then she headed to the bus stop.
She was always the first person on the bus because she lived the farthest from school. As she got on the bus the bus driver smiled at her, she smiled back. Then went to the back of the bus. No one ever sat across from her, but still she kept her bag next to here. 15 minutes later the bus arrived at school.
It was the same type of day. She went to class got picked on. Then the teacher asked if everything is ok. She always said yes. But it was never yes. This happened 5 or 6 times a day. Then it was lunch but no one ever sat with her. A bell rang after lunch which meant another class that she was going to be picked on.
It was tech class and she would always sit down and do math games to improve her math skills. As well she would always feel pressure at certain times because people would be putting notes on her back. She always got the best marks because everyone else was picking on her when they were meant to do work. There were other kids in her class that didn't pick on her but never said anything. She knew that if they told the bullies to stop then they would start getting picked on so they never tried to help her. When she took the last bad note off her back the bell rang which meant she could go home. As she got out of her seat someone in class approached her. She felt ok because this was one of the kids that didn't pick on her. "Happy Birthday "said the boy. Before she could say thank you and her birthday was actually tomorrow, he was already gone. Then she realized it was the end of school and went straight for the door.
As she got off the bus she didn't feel good because on the bus there was a sign were she normally sat that marked the seat was hers in a very mean way. As she went into her house her mom greeted her "did you have good day at school". She said "n...yes". Her mom looked happy that she had a good day. "Oh we are going to eat early" said mom "became I have something special. Then she ate dinner with her mom and it was her favorite thing , sushi. Then she watched a movie with her mom and ate popcorn. The movie was amazing as well as the popcorn. After that her mom read here a story. She loved when her mom read her stories because she would always act like the characters while reading. Then her mom left and she started to go to bed. As she started to drift off to sleep she hoped tomorrow would be better because it was her birthday.

I woke up with a start ever since people started calling me names and trieing to make me mad I had night mares every night. They always say there kidding and that they are playing. So I never tell any one and even if I did wouldn't they just say it is ok, that's it. I never wanted to go to school so I started to learn to act. I used this trick a lot and I was happy it worked. My mom called me I did the morning ruteen. I tried to leave with out my bag so I would get of school the plan was spoted by my mom. "sweetie you forgot your bag". "ohh yay" I said it more down then I ment to. " why is it you always forget your bag?". this was a problem I hated lieing but I found my self doing it all the time. "um I don't know?" "there is somthing ulse" i insisted that school was fun and I had friends. I left in a rush to get away from the questions. I slowed down after I was never in to much of a rush. I heard the bell school! I stoped I was here. A nother bad day. Well her goes nothing a forst a smile it lasted 2 seconeds. I sat down at my desk the subjects went on and on but there were some mothing words and notes passed. They were ether to me a threat or about me. it is easy to tell by peoples faces witch it was. It was lunch It was the worst. They all came up to me started to call me names, throughig my lunch in the trush. I always got made I yelled out "that doesn't go in the compost it goes in the trush or the other way around". Everyone burst out laughing there heads off. I realised that they wanted that it was why they did it. They just said don't listen to us du! I couldn't it always was there folowing me around every were. After the bell I asked if I could go home because I was sick. When I got to my room tears started to race I tried to hold them back in the car but now it was inposible I never wanted to go back to school but I was never gone for good. I maniged to say what will be tomorow?! ( and to add to this I felt so bad I didn't put capital for my name)

As Zoe woke up in the morning the memories of the weekend washed over her like ocean waves. On her weekend her mother had passed away from cancer. She just lives with her dad now. Zoe walked down stairs and got bread with butter and sweet honey ready for breakfast that morning. Her dad came down and ate with her, she enjoyed that her dad ate with her. She dragged her self up stairs. Her father asked "what wrong cupcake". Nothing she muttered as she walked away. She got dressed quickly and walked down stairs. Her dad drove her to school, he said goodbye and have a great day. As Zoe walked into the classroom, people muttered "why her" and "you suck" to her. She berried her head in her arms for the rest of the class. When the class was over and everyone was out of the room she felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to see the teacher Mr.Scorpion (it was the best I could think of). He said "are you all right Zoe, you seem a bit sad" He said. "Everyone is always mean to me because I am bad a sports" She said back and walked out of the class room. She managed to get through the day with only 58 put downs. "That's a new record" Zoe thought bitterly. As she was walking home she heard a couple of the boys behind her yelling mean names at me. "Make that 65 put downs" she thought. She sprinted home that day thinking "if only they knew how I feel". That night she cried herself to sleep. The next morning she woke up and thought "WHY ME".

As my eyes adjusted to the sun, peeking in through the window I got out of bed. As I moved the creaky floorboard echoed through the empty room. JUST ANOTHER awful DAY, I say to myself. I headed downstairs, slowly, thinking of an alibi. I started to think harder, I tripped and rolled down the stairs. Pain sizzled down my spine and I jerked my head up in pain. "Come on Emily, that's the third time you have tripped this week. You are going to school." I got ready and got out the door. Dark clouds gathered up above me. It rained heavily and pellets of rain dropped on me.
As I entered the school I noticed two girls, giggling and pointing at me.
Finished class, I never thought I'd get out of there. Least bulling today. Just 30 posters saying, LOSER, DUMB, NERD, things like that, and got 50 e-mails related to that. Not as bad as yesterday. I shivered. Recess. Got to get ready and wear shin pads for the lightning kicks. That's what I call them. Worst game ever. Victoria made it up, Pain. The principle came and had a talk with me. She had noticed all that bullying. He said he would stop it by tomorrow. As I entered the cafeteria. I got ready and gulped in as much as food as I could, before they came. 10 minuets later they were at Victoria seat kicking her. Then someone shoved her face into her pudding. I laughed so hard, the lunch lady had a curios look so weird I laughed even harder. Then the bullies came over. I gulped.
Turns out they just came to eat. I headed home. This time the sun shone brightly best day ever,including 82 put downs.

As my eyes started to open I said with a great big sorrowful sigh "GREAT I JUST CAN'T WAIT UNTIL I GO TO SCHOOL"
I walked downstairs to get breakfast and I lied to my dad saying I was feeling sick like I had been since 3 years ago when mom and grandma died in a car accident. OF course dad didn't believe me "But dad my stomach hurts and I feel Nauseous" "No you don't
You do this every day and I've got work to do go to school!" So I went to school only stopping at the cemetery to visit mom and Grandma When I got to school I was crying of grief People were talking about me Saying things like "CRYBABY CRAYBABY" or "what a loser!" I just walked off to class at the start of break Everyone pushed me around to get out of there way On the way to the cafeteria some kids and teachers asked me if I was okay I didn't know how to answer so I said I was fine and walked away.

I have been bullied befor it is not fun we all need to stand together not alone. If we stand together we might be able to leave bullying in the past.

"NO I don't want to go, you can't make me!" Jamie said. "You have to go it's school" Jamie's mom replied. "Fine I will go... but I-" "NO" you are going and of discussion" Her mom interrupted. "Have fun sweety" Jamie's mom said as she left the car trying to hold back tears. "Her I am back at school" "Hey loser" a boy said behind her. "know the day was runnined.. again" she said to herself. Feels a kick at her foot. "STOP!" Jamie said "why would I" a guy responded" Jamie entered her class room as she felt signs attach to her back. Jamie went to her desk all alone in the corner nothing changed her best friend had completely different class's as her so the only time they saw each other was break. The bell rang as Jamie exited the class room she saw her best friend Skylar she ran over hopefully to be greeted. Jamie said "Hi Skyslar" Skylar said "Hi back" and then a pause the most popular girl in school looked at Skylar I noticed it. Skylar then said "Gotta go cya". "Okay" I tried to say but as I said it she was gone. I sat alone at break did nothing except for kids making me do their homework I didn't have a choice if I didn't they would try and blackmail me nothing different. I went to my final class of the day. In the hall way like usual someone slamed my books onto the ground, someone calling me LOSER and GET A LIFE which I clearly already had because the only way they got good grades was when I did THEIR homework and THEIR school work I barely had enough time to do MY OWN. I was getting tired of having people do things to me like this. Calling ONLY ME "Little Freshman" BY OTHER FRESHMAN!! I mean come one really you are at the same level. I went home that night and went straight to my bedroom SLAMMED the door and hid in a corner no one was home that night. I thought to my self I need to do something. The next day I went to school with my head held high ignored every bully and wet to class. At break Skylar ignored me, but you want to know someone who didn't. It was Leah donaldsin. Like usual she had a dramatic entrance on a chair with A BUNCH OF HOT SENIORS caring her over to HER lunch table. Like really you have legs can't you use them. Leah approached me and said "Hey loser do my homework" I left and went to the bathroom. Of course she fallowed me me to the bathroom and said "So they let you go to the bathroom by yourself know" "Yeah when are YOU going to start" I replied very proud. Leah responded saying "Look I don't like you, you don't have life". "Well if I am standing here right know does it look like I have a life" I replied. I noticed her face get angry. I left the room went back to lunch, AGAIN she followed me. Leah said "I don't like you ONLY YOU because you are a ninth grader". I talked back saying "You should know you were their for 4 years". I looked at her face and everyone around me look in shock. Leah came to punch me. I blocked it and SHE was the one on the ground. I lead a hand to her she grabbed it and I pulled her up. I told her "you know if you want to be popular you shouldn't be treating other people like that." Leah stood in silence. " Just because something happend to you doesn't mean you need to take it out on some one else ok?" Ok I heard a response. I went over to my friend and she hugged me. I went home very proud that day my mom was too.

THE END
LA FINI

Bullying is not fun it can lead to suicide and jail. Over 1200 kids yearly commit suicide from bullies and 98.5% of those bullies are sent to jail.

The alarm clock is ringing loudly on the morning, I wake up by the noisy of the clock. Suddenly, my mom is calling me, "Honey, get up! Have your breakfast downstairs!" I open the door and say, “Ok.” I feel badly because I was bullied by my classmates yesterday. “I’m just like a robot to do same things everyday.” I say to myself. I am putting on my clothes and cleaning my face and teeth, then I walk downstairs and eat my breakfast.
“Bye, mommy!” I say to my mother. I walk to the school silently, and going to the classroom. I feel sorrowful and I can’t even work in this rowdy classroom. My teacher walk towards me and say: “ Are you ok?” “Ok.” I answer. “ You look so boring.” My teacher say. “I don't like my classmates but I have to go to school as a routine.” I whisper to myself. Finally, when the bell is ringing after school, I am the first one to rush out of the school. At night I say myself: “ What was a boring, boring day!”

Mother please. I wine. My head hurts a lot. I lie. No, your going to school. But-. No, buts you are going to school. Fine. I said with a sigh. I ate my breakfast and hurried out the door. My mom works so, everyday I have to walk to school alone. I walked and saw lots of kids walked to school also. None of them said hi to me or even looked at me. The whole way I looked down at my shoes. Finally I looked up and saw to school. "Here goes nothing". I thought to myself. I walked into the school and suddenly I saw everybody turn and look at me. Lots of kids were whispering to there friend. Probably they were talking about me. I thought. Then I heard the bell ring. I slowly walked therw the halls to my first class. I quickly sat in my seat and saw everyone looking at me again. After my class, everyone walked by me and were talking to there friends. I heard them talking about me. I walked slowly to my next class. A teacher walked by me, and saw my face and asked me if I was okay. Of course I said yes, but, I really was not. I went into my class and sat down. People never sat next to me ever. finally the day was over. I left the school, thinking about my day. This is going to be a long year. I thought in my head. I walked quickly home. Soon it was 9:00 o'clock and I got ready for bed. Hopefully tomorrow we be a better day.

I walked slowly downstairs as my mom call me for breakfast. The smell foods being toasted, but I didn't want to eat at all. "Come on, honey, or else we'll be late." I felt sick, "Mom, I don't want to go to school." I said quietly after a few seconds. "No, you have to go, I've got to work." I sighed. I opened the door and stepped out. People was chatting with each other and giggling, nobody looked at me or even noticed me. Always the same. I thought. I walked slowly down the street, the sight of the street blurred as the tears leaked out from the corners my eyes, I sighed as a few girls walked passed me, giggling and glancing as me. The sight of the school came and I marched faster toward. I saw my friend Casey down the hall, I waved to her and smiled, but she didn't smile back. Of course, no one even wants to be my friend. I thought as I kept walking. "Look!" People was pointing at me, laughing and talking behind me, I tried to avoid the eyes and keep walking to the class. When I came to class, nothing got better. No one even play with me, talk to me, or even noticed me. Maybe I shouldn't came after all.

As I woke up, I remembered that I had school. Just great, I thought. I hate school. All that teasing, I just hate it.

FAST FORWARD

I sat down at the school bus. When I had entered, I had been called names like fatty, crybaby, and so on. I try to ignore them. I really do. But, that doesn't really help. They continue. They know I still hear them. I sit down. As my friend Sandy comes in, I call to her. "Sandy, come here!" I pat the place next to me. She sits beside me. I hear the the people say "oh, she needs here friend to survive. What a baby!" Sandy shifts around unhappily. "Look," she says. "I don't like the teasing. So, I am no going to be your friend anymore." I was speechless. "What?" I finally said. Sandy nodded. The day went by. It was more worse than before. Without Sandy, it was way worse. She even started to tease me! I cannot believe she was ever my friend. I tried what I have never tried before. Telling on the bullies. I went to my science teacher Mr. Green. He was the nicest. "There are a couple of kids bulling me." I said. "Oh?" he said. "Who is it?" I listed the names. "I will talk to them," he said. I walked away, feeling happy. When I went on the school bus later that day, the name calling started again. I sighed. I was no use. Telling the teacher was no use. I looked at Sandy. She was smiling. She was ENJOYING teasing me. I was glad when the bus came to my stop.

Nathan

12/1/2016 02:32:13 pm

"Mom, I'm sick" I say slowly. My Mom's stare canceled my feelings.
"No! You say that every day."

I walked onto the school bus with insults echoing inside my head. A tear stung in the back of my eye when no one wanted to sit beside me. I finally sat down and narrowly endured the bus ride. I got to school and told a teacher that I was being bullied, only to find that for the 5th time, some people are wimps and can't stand up to a 2nd grader in a pink tutu that likes clever insults. I sat down to eat my lunch, at my table A.K.A. the loser table. 3 People slowly walked towards me and brought me to their table.

"MOM MOM guess what happened at school today..."

A beautiful sunshine, approached as she woke up in the morning. The alarm clock buzzed, and it indicated into her ear drums. It was quite a bit of a shock or distraction from her point of view. When she went down the stairs slightly, the footsteps made noises. Her parents heard something very awkward at that time. - She groaned with a bad attitude, "Mmmmmmmmm!" Her parents were sobbing in tears and they didn't knew what happened. A couple hours later, she wasn't feeling that frustrated at school. In a while sudden moment, kids started to tease her with very emotional aggressive words. It was very heartbreaking, which it ruined her day so much. At lunchtime, even more negative things happened. She was a lonely, eating by herself. The noise was also very loud, it leads to a headache. Everyone was staring at her eyes, and it startled her. As lunch time ended, the bell ring on a full blast volume. She went out her classroom, and slammed the door so hard. She went down the hallway with a negative expression on her face. In a minute, one teacher came close to her and she replied nothing. Another friend went past down the hallway and smiled. She won't smile back and her friend was flabbergasted. She after put her lunch bag away and still the haters won't stop teasing her. She was almost down on her knees begging for someone to help. She then left the hallway, and went to her classroom. Again, the bullies won't stop constantly bully her. Just in a minute, her friends came to save her. Her friends came to save with holding signs that said (Stop bullying!) The bullies were such in shame and decided to apologize. She sat down on a chair among the other students waiting for the teacher. After when she sat down, all the haters regretted her for the things they've done. Later, her heart putted back into pieces and it really nailed her day. Everything seemed very delightful aftermath. They suddenly all have a very happy expression on their face. The end!

Most importantly, having fun is the key to all good days. So far, all of us had bullied and it's a problem. I am sorry for the writing piece because they might be mistakes or errors. This might not be the best blog post but at least, it will be okay. Have a great day and move onto our lives.

I wake up in the morning and I don't want to go to school. When my parents ask me if I'm OK I say yes I'm fine but I'm not really fine. My mom and dad would drive me to school.No one would want to play with me at the playground, before the bell rang then I went to class. I felt like no one liked me and were calling me names. Then the teacher asked me are you okay I said yes but I'm not really ok. Then we went outside for recess, I didn't get people to play with me at the playground but I heard some people talking about me behind my back. I was going to tell the teacher at the playground but they said if I told I would get punched in the face. Then I went to the cafeteria for lunch, I went to sit at a table with lots of people and then they moved when I sat down. Then principal asked me if I was ok I said I was but I'm really not.I have no friends that's why no one is sitting beside me or playing with me at the playground. Then it was last period again, I really wanted to go home but I didn't because I was worried they would talk about me when I'm gone or they may think I'm a crybaby. On the car ride home my mom asked me how was school? I said it was great but it wasn't really great.Then we had dinner We had did High low and funny I didn't want to answer any of them but I did answer the high and the funny But I lied Because I didn't want to tell them the truth about I was being bullied. Then I went to bed and my mom and dad Read to me Then I fell asleep.

"mom, i dont think i can go to school today......" she tells her mom dramatically, faking the flu symptoms. "why not?" her mother asks. "i... i dont feel well today!" she answers back. Her mother checks her temperature, and shakes her head. "your fine. dont worry." Alice groans once more, and eats some toast, flings on her backpack and runs out the door. Later on, as she arrives at school she hears the first whispers coming at her, barley audible, yet louder than a lion. "look at her. nerd. weirdo." she hears an older kid shout "HA! LOSER!" she looks down, and continues walking. she passes by a teacher, who was gazing at her with concern in her eyes. "are you alright, alice?" she asks. "yeah, im fine." alice replies. she walks off and whispers to herself. "but im really not."

Alice then walks off, and after all of her classes she sits down at the lunch room. she hears other kids whispering, snickering, and pointing at her. someone came over and burned her. (like the insulting burn, not the ouch, its hot. burn.) she sighed, and began to eat her food.later, she was waiting for her bus. one of the popular girls sashayed over, and flicked their blond hair. "someone here is lonely dont you think? awwwww, look at the ANIMAL!" everyone laughed. tears filled Alice's eyes. she waited a few more minutes, and was grateful when the bus arrived. she sat alone, and read until it was her stop. she stepped off, and ran into her house. her mother came down and asked if she was ok. "im..... fine, mum." Alice answered. she ran to her bedroom, and sat on her bed for the rest of the day. after dinner, whitch was, by the way, lasagna, she went to sleep, negative thoughts circulating her head.

I woke up a knew it would be a good day, after all it was only my friend that was getting bullied. Not me. Some other kids started to tease me though, I started to think about what I should do (1. Still be best friends with Brittney, 2. Not be friends with her and tease her like the other kids) I didn't know what to do, after all we were only in 6th grade, this was one a year ago. I chose the worst choice that I could've chose and chose to not hang out with her and started teasing her. I'm telling this story now because since last year she has been begging her parents to be home schooled every single day. When it finally happened not only me realized how amazing of a person she was, but the bullies too.

Last year I was bullied. A lot. Everyday I would wake up and think maybe they would just pick on somebody else, but I didn't realize what the other person would feel if they started bullying her and stopped bullying me. I would still be hurt, just passing my pain to somebody else isn't going to fix the problem. During school nothing really happened, but after school things were different, some people throw things at me, and others might stand there and do nothing, to me bystanders are just as bad a bullies. Usually when I get home I go strait to my room, not thinking about anybody around me. I then realized, what if my mom dies tomorrow I wouldn't have even said a last word. I realized I needed to spend more time with her, so school is a nightmare, but coming home was amazing. Still I begged my mom everyday if I could be home schooled, she said that she didn't have time. After a while she agreed, and after a year most of the students wanted me to go back to school. I think I was ready.

"Chloe... Are you okay?"
"Yes."
"Hey can I play with you guys on the computers? I've already been having a tough day so it would be nice if you could..."

She stopped being able to sleep well at night. She would lay on her bed thinking: " I have lived in Canada for so many years, and I have never met anyone so mean. I was lucky to meet people who were nice and fair with me. I thought noone will hurt your feelings on purpose for no reason. And my school is supposed to be a safe and friendly place. This big bully seems to be so powerful but he behaves like putting others down is fun. And there seem to be people that would put the other person down to impress him or to earn his favour. Some of them would do that because they would get a reward and some of them because they have their "arm twisted" and they want to be left alone. The big bully doesn't bully for nothing. He bullies if he wants something from you. I think that's called blackmail or extortion? I told the bully many times to leave me alone and that I feel depressed. The bully doesn't pay attention. He would stop his bullying for a while or he would do something that looks like he is doing a nice thing for you but it's really not, however, others would think that he really is doing something nice unless they know better. He might also get others to bully you for him. That way, he doesn't look bad and it's hard to prove that he is the bully. I can't believe that there are people who would bully for him out of their free will. They don't understand that they can become the bullied themselves. I don't want to wake up. May be it is all a dream? I'd like to get to the end of it and never be bullied again...
