Short Text Response

 25/5/21

Hello everyone welcome back to my blog. Today for English we read a short story about bullying. We also had to answer some questions about the story and us. These are the questions.

What did this poem make you think about a bully?

This poem made me feel bad for the bully. He obviously does it for a reason and he probably wants someone to be friends with him. The bully needs somebody to be friends with so they probably won't bully anybody if they at least have someone to stop them.

If you saw this bully what would you do?

I would choose to be an upstander and talk to the bully to see why he bullies people. I would also get an adult I trust to come and talk with the bully and hopefully make him stop bullying.

If you would like to read this poem here is the link:

If you have any questions please don't be afraid to comment.

Have you ever been bullied, and what did you do to stop it?

Part 2 Conflict & Assertiveness

We have also been learning the definitions of a few different words to do with bullying. There are 5 different words. Assertive, Passive, Aggressive, Boundaries, and Conflict. These are the definitions of all of the words we have been doing.

Assertive: You state firmly with authority.

Passive: not active, not resisting or fighting against. So you're basically just agreeing.

Aggressive: To fight back and likely to attack people. This means that you are always on the attack and rude/mean to people.

Boundaries: The limits we set for what we will accept. This means that you set lines that you have to stay in.

Conflict: To fight, struggle or disagree.

Thank you for reading this far.
