Bullied 02/08/2011

 Today I watched the movie Bullied, as a teacher this movie hs shown me how just how erious as bullying can get for the vicitim. In the movie you see a young boy being bullied by his peers and when he goes to the teachers and they do not help and they do no even punish the bullies for what they had done to the little boy. Because of these kinds of things the little boy gets really depressed and does not feel safe in his school, he tries to kill himself at one point and when that did not work h ran away.As a teacher I would never want any of my students to feel unsafe in school because things like bullying are very serious problems in todays schools and should not be taken lightly because it can have deadly consequences if not taken care of. Later on in that little boys life he decieded that he wanted to punish the people that had done nothing for him earlier on in his life. He won the case and the school that he came from had to pay him  $900,000. Not ony did he get to have the school pay for what they had did to him but he sent a message out to many other kids who were and are being bullied in other schools, and gives them hope and lets them know they are not alone. As a teacher I hope to prevent as many bulling situations as I can, because this is a serious issue and needs to be taken care of.
