This is a description of my topic, which is bullying,
I learned from __HOOT__ by: Carl Hiaasen that when people are bullied, it’s because they’re different. Also when they’re the new kid. Or they don’t fit in. Or if you are a threat to the bullies. For example, in __HOOT__ Roy gets bullied because he stands up for himself, none of the students stood up for themselves so that made him different. Because he is different that made the bully want to bully him. One of the quotes in the book is "Aren't you sorry you messed with me!" page 109. The bully, Dana, says this. Dana is really mad at Roy because Roy wasn't afraid of him. Roy was a threat to Dana when he wasn't afraid of him so Dana bullied him to make Roy afraid. Another thing I learned is that bullying can hurt outside and inside. I think when people hurt you inside its more affective. I think this because, if people hurt you physically, it can heal. But if somebody hurts you with words, it will stay inside you forever. A way to deal with bullying is to stand up for yourself and say stop it, or ignore them. If you ignore them they will loose interest in bullying you. If they are still bullying you, tell an adult you trust, for example, a parent councilor or teacher. Hi, my name is Chloe. I’m originally from the USA but now live in Thailand. I am a student who goes to the International School of Bangkok (ISB). ISB is a really cool school; it's also really big. Sometimes I get homesick but then I really like it here. I like to ice skate (sort of hard to do here in Thailand). I have two dogs Stella and Gypsy. I love them so much! My favorite color is purple! My favorite movie and book is twilight! And it's going to be until I'm very old! :-) Bye! :-)
