Do you think bullying is a problem at WHS? Have you ever been a victim of bullying? Do you think some students "ask for it?" Why or why not?

Bullying is a huge deal. People commit suicide over what others say. Each person in this world is different and you don't know how someone is going to take your words. I don't really think people in this school get bullied but people do talk to much about others and I think it lowers their self esteem. I've never been bullied but being talked about in my opinion is just as worse. Nobody asks to be bullied some people just want to be who they are and be left alone. They way I see it is you should treat others the way you want to be treated.

Being bullied sucks. I was bullied in elementary school because of my weight and because I was so quiet. Bullying is a extremely big deal and need all the attention it can get, hopefully all the attention will eventually lead to change. I've never really seen bad bullying in WHS but that doesn't mean it isn't happening. Some kids that are bullied are bad kids that were once the bully themselves, that doesn't mean they deserve it but sadly its an effective way to see both sides.

I think bullying is one of the most horrible things for people to endure, aside from tragedies like deaths and diseases. I feel that people should step in with bullying because it can, and does, lead to awful outcomes like suicide. I feel that, especially compared to other schools, bullying is not a big problem in Windsor. I guess technically I have been a victim of bullying, because in middle school I was always made fun of for having braces and glasses, but I never let it really bother me. People generally choose people who don't dress "cool" enough, or don't say and do popular things to bully, which shows just how shallow some people can be. It's sad when people are judged by their appearance and not by who they really are.
I do not like bullying. I honestly think it is getting worse and something needs to be done to stop it because It can become more than just words. Sometimes yes but not physically just verbally. Yes I have been a victim of bullying. No i don't because I don't feel like anyone would want to be talked about or beat up badly.
In my opinion bullying can really hurt people and needs to stop. I don't think they make a big deal, prsonally I think they should make a big deal so they stop bullying! I haven't seen bullying problems in WHS. I have never been a victim of bullying. I don't think no students ask to be bullyed. Some children just are mean and go through problems at their home an take it out on nice children.
I think this is so sad. I hate bullying and it’s sad to say but it happens in every school. Either being jealous or just being immature kids are bullied daily which makes kids depressed, self conscious, and doesn’t want to go to school. Anybody can get bullied, it doesn’t have to be the nerds or the different kids, beautiful girls are bullied just because their shy and the prettier girls tease them and talk about them in their clicks. It’s a sad thing and especially because it causes suicide, it needs to be stopped soon. I have been a victim or bullying but I ignore it and if I see others bullied I stand up for them no matter what.
I think bullying is a big deal and horrible. I hate seeing people getting bullied or someone bullying someone. I feel like when people put it on the internet and everyone starts finding out about the situation, I think thats when everyone starts thinking its cool. I think something needs to be done to stop it, to be honest. I haven't seen much bullying at WHS, but I'm sure it does happen once in a while. I've never been a victim of bullying either. Some kids take their anger and problems out on other kids, so that's why bullying comes in place. But, the students that do get bullied, I feel like if their picking with the person then yes they ask for it. It's both of their faults.
I think bullying is horrible. I don't think that people make a big enough deal about it, it's getting worse and worse and something big needs to happen to stop it. People don't take it seriously and they think that these kinds of things only happen in other places but you can be the cause of someone feeling so low about themselves that they don't even want to live anymore. I think that bullying is not a big problem at WHS but it defiantly still goes on. People here "joke" on people and I don't think they mean it to make the other person to feel bad. I think that they are just trying to make themselves look better but it doesn't. It makes them look shallow and stupid. I have been a victim of bullying in middle school as many people have and its not fun. Some people are going to be different but that's everywhere in life, you can't just say they "ask for it" just because they don't act, dress, or do the same things that you do.
I think that bullying is stupid an there is no point for it. I don't think they make to big of a deal and I don't think it's getting worse. I don't think its a problem here I mean we joke a lot here but it's not serious like we just joke around. Some kids could definitely do things so they would stop getting joked on.
Bullying is uncalled for. It sucks to be bullied. It's getting worse by the minute and something needs to be done. People go around and say it's wrong, but they still bully others. Some people in this school act like they don't bully anyone in front of teachers, but they're the biggest bully I know. I can't stand people like that. It bugs me that we can't do anything to actually stop this "hate crime" completely.
Bullying should be handle by adults. I think it's getting worse and something needs to be done to stop it. Why, because people are killing thereselves, all because of kids like to tease people. I think it's not that much bullying in WHS then in other schools. No, I haven't been a victim of bullying. No, I don't think some students ask for it. Why not, because why would students ask for it, unless they did something wrong to them and they just paying back from what they did.

My opinion on bullying is I think that it is wrong.Yes,I think victims, parents, schools, and the media should make a big of a deal out of bullying.I think it's getting worse every year and something needs to be done to stop it.I don't really see a lot of bullying at WHS,however just because I don't see doesn't mean it doesn't happen.Yes I have been a victim of bullying.No I do not think some students "ask for it."
I think bullying is wrong. I think people make a big deal about bullying. I don't think bullying is a problem at WHS. I havn't been a victim of bullying.
Bullying is mean and wrong. No,Yes I think bullying is getting worse and something does need to be done to stop it. Yes , Some of the students can be mean and some can be nice. Yes. Some of the students do things to get attention and they end up getting the wrong kind of 'attention'.
I think that bullying is completely wrong. I don't think that they are making a bigger deal out of it. It is a big problem nowadays. Bullying is everywhere, but i don't think it's that bad here at WHS though. Some students really do things that "ask" to be bullied. -Josh Cutchins
Some people just play around. They don't mean anything by it. Some places it is really bad. I don't think we have a problem at WHS.It is wrong.

I do not like bullies. Bullies can destroy people lives because they mess with people self-a stream and emotions. I don't think that parents, schools, and media making a big deal out of it. If people didn't care about bullying lives wouldn't be save. I think bullying do happen at WHS but its not as bad as city's schools.
Its really wrong because kids are killing there selfs. No something needs to stop.
Bullying happens all the time, but the ones getting bullied don't say anything and its not their job to it shouldn't happen. I don't think it's getting worse here, I think here we have enough people that would do something or say something. I'm glad the media and family put it out on the web and stuff because a lot of older people are like don't do this or that because of their background you never know what people go through. I don't think bullying is a problem here like it has been. I haven't been bullied, and no one deserves to be bullied. Not even the one doing it because they might be doing it because their parents are demeaning to them.

Bullying is a problem, but it doesn't happen as much in WHS. I also think it's kind of stupid, the least they could do is try to bully a group of people, or somebody who would fight back. That would work if they are trying to act big and bad.

I think bullying is so pointless honestly. I can't believe kids have nothing better to do then to bully other kids. I think a big enough deal isn't done about it. There is bullying in every school but I think WHS has less bullying then most schools. I wouldn't consider it a problem here. I have been a victim of bullying but not anything like that. In elementary school I was joked on a little over my clothes, my parents, and stuff like that. Some students may "ask for it" but majority of students don't.
Bullying is a really big deal. Hurting someone else physically or mentally on purpose is wrong. I don't think there is anyway that anyone could make too big of a deal out of it. Everyone should recognize bullying and how it can affect people. Bullying often leads to suicide which is very sad.
I think bullying is starting to get really bad. Little kids are starting to do it. My little cousin started bullying other kids at 4! We had to make her stop. All children and teenagers are the main ones that do it. Yes, I have seen adults do it too. It's pretty sad when you see adults do it. I don't think they make a big deal about it because its serious. People are committing suicide because of it! I don't think bullying is a problem at WHS. But I'm not saying that people don't get bullied. It's not a big deal though because it rarely happens. We could have it bad like other schools. I have been a victim of bullying. It's really harsh. I really do think some students ask for it though. They want to fit in and they make it worse for themselves. They are just sticking out! It's like a big red target for people to bully them.

Bullying is a horrible thing to do to other people. Some people make to big of a deal of it, but it depends how bad is it. Yes bullying is a problem at WHS it leads to fights. I been bullied in 5th grade through 7th grade. No people don't ask for it. The person who is the victim is weak.
-Travis Legate
I despise bullying. It is very immature and hurtful and people should not bully others unless they want it happen to them. I think that bullying is getting worse since no one is taking any real initiative to stop it. The only thing that people are doing is advertising the need to stop it. Bullying at WHS is not as high as in the video. I have been a victim of bullying but as I get older I just ignore it because I know that it is all immature. I do think some people ask to be bullied, because of some of the stuff they do.
I can't stand bullying! I feel this problem should have never got to the point that it's at. I know there are many places worst than WHS as far as bullying goes but we do have a little group called the "Goon Squad" that thinks it's cool to pick on other kids that are less fortunate than them, just because they're to scared to talk about people that will actually stand up for themselves.

Bullying is a very bad thing that most kids have to deal with almost everyday . I have to say that i am so glad that Windsor High School is not like this other schools . But you never know , people could be getting bullied and you would never know about it . People really need to stop bulling other kids around . We all need to do something about this before more kids take their like because of this .
Bullying, in my opinion, is one of the worst forms of attention that "popular" kids use to keep their status. Popular kids, Jocks, and Athletes are the ones who do the most bullying. It's wrong and unethical to make others feel below themselves for your own pleasure.
I do believe that bullying should be "put in the spotlight" because it is very harmful and wrong for anyone to go through. Bullying is definitely getting worse if elementary school kids are getting into the habit of it.
There is a problem with verbal bullying at WHS. If anything, people need to mind their own business and be mature enough to leave others alone. Maybe they're just having a bad day?
I've been a victim of bullying since the beginning of middle school. I've been called some nasty things that I would never call a mortal enemy. I'm obviously not going to repeat, but it should definitely be stopped.
Who in their right mind would ask to be bullied? I don't think anyone asks to be bullied. It's the mind-set of the bully to harm others that causes them to bully others.
