    • Dear Chris and Jaine,

      I enjoyed reading your post! Bullying is a huge issue and by reading your post I am glad that there are students like you two who are sticking up for bullying. I agree with you that just by having a website for students who are bullied isn’t enough. Some students who are bullied might not have access to the internet so they would need that in person assistance. This subject stood out to me because it reminds me of something that happened to me in high school. My best friend was still friends with someone that I wasn’t friends with anymore and that friend would draw pictures of me that were not very friendly. My best friend would never say anything to her either which made it feel even worse. I think its great that you both want people to be aware that your school has no tolerance for bullying. And wanting to create signs on the doors of classrooms at your school is a good idea, so students will remember that bullying shouldn’t be happening. Thank you Chris and Jaine for writing this post!

    • Dear Janie and Chris,
      I am enjoying to read your letter, “stop bully,” because bully becomes a big issue during children and adolescent’s life.One thing you wrote that stands out for me is: “ Bullying should be seem as a bigger issue because many people don’t know how many people are affected by bullying.” I agree with you that people should know more about bullying. One reason I say this is because bully is very normal right now. and it is bad for people. Bully will affect people’s mental and physical health. Many of people get hurt by others. Everyone should stop bully people that around you or online.Thanks for your writing.

    • Chris and Jaine,

      I thought your article was very good. It was interesting how you used so many specific examples of stories of people who have experienced brutal bullying in their lifetime. However, adding on to this support, I think it could be effective if you brought in information about ways to tell if someone is being bullied or what do do when you know someone is being bullied. I think it is so great that you guys are passionate about this cause.

      Sincerely,
      Audrey

    • Dear Janie and Chris,

      I could see your frustration throughout your thoughts on bullying. I could relate to this also because as for myself when I was in elementary I got bullied too. Being bullied at a young age really puts down your self-esteem because your just a kid and getting told something bad, just because how you look? I understand why you guys would write this article and I totally agree with you because all your trying to do is just spread awareness to others to see what happens to kids nowadays. Thank you Janie and Chris for being a Justice Oriented citizen, I appreciate the amount of care you have for this society.

    Dear Kelly,
    I really like how you connected this to how you would feel if you were not forgiven from what you have done. Also, you show lots of emotions and how it would be better if you were forgiven instead of just letting it go. This shows that you really thought about this before you wrote this because it really shows it in your writing.…Read More

    I would like to thank you for reading my work. I like how you said how good my work sounded and how I proved my point. I really thought this was a good topic because school lunch is a problem is lots of places not just Oakland. But thanks again for reading my work I really appreciate you reading it.
