Bullying, Harrasment, Need to Belong

I think that when Mr. Verboomen came in and talked about him being 83 pounds in high school and was bullied so bad and later in school bullied others. That made me see how much people can change. When Schuette came in, he talked about the legal consequences that could happen if we got in trouble for bullying somebody. I have friends who have been in trouble for bullying and been bullied so I do understand from seeing them what it's like. I haven't really ever been bullied but I have bullied other people. By watching the "Flipped" video that is what really made me think more about bullying. People at school don't think Kimberly would ever have a school shooting but it could happen anywhere and that's why bullying is such a problem. There could be somebody at school right now who is being bullied so much they have thought to have bad things happen to school. Since I have bullied people in the past I felt bad for it by seeing the video. I do see bullying at school happen a lot and I see bystanders including myself never stepping up to help the victim. It is sad to see how bad people treat each other. I think more people should have to watch the "Flipped" video in class to maybe change there minds about seeing people being bullied. The school would be a lot better with no bullying. I hope that the more people learn about this, the more they try to help others who are the victim and stand up to stop bullying.

Twilight Zone

I thought the girl with the bandages would look scary or not normal but she looked normal and all the other doctors and nurses looked different. So in the show she wasn't normal but in real life she was normal. I was surprised at the end because she felt like she was not like everyone else and there was a village she could go to with other people like her. I think beauty does change. Throughout years beauty changes from bigger people to skinny people, to what color hair people have. I think in Kimberly most people think beauty as in tall and skinny people that are more rich and are successful with their lives.

Prison Study

I chose to blog about prisoner 8612. This prisoner wanted to go home and leave the simulation and was explaining how he was crazy but, Zimbardo said you could go home at anytime so basically 8612 was trying to find a way out even though it was unnecessary. Prisoner 8612 said he was going to try to escape everyone to get out of the simulation the day before he left. In the beginning 8612 was mentally stable but a few days into the simulation he went crazy.
