OUR VIEWS
Gillian- I think that bullying is wrong especially cyber bullying because you might not know who it is, and can be very harmful to the victims family and the victims life.
Brooke- I think that all types of bullying is wrong and needs to be taken seriously.
Logan-I think that bullying is awful and a horrible thing to do to other.
Brandon- I think that people who bully you hates on something that you have. They want what you already have.They feel bad about their self so they take it out on you.
