Cyberbullying is getting big in the U.S. and we need to stand up and do something about it. Did you know the bullying occurs in school playgrounds every 7 minutes and once every 25 minutes in class. Just in a month, two girls had committed suicide because they was getting bullied!
We had to make a movie about cyberbullying. We used WeVideo to make our videos. I made my movie on what cyberbullying did to effect me. I never told anyone my story because I was to scared to put it out there. My family has been through a lot and I know I'm not the only one out there that has a big problem in my family. Some parts in my video is not that true but must of it is. This is the first time I ever told anybody! So I decided to tell my story in my video. Hope you like it.
In the WeVideo we could do all sorts of things. This website is a great way to make great videos for projects or anything you need. I love this website because you can do anything on it. It was easy for me because I made a movie with flashcards but it was very confusing putting the music on there so I couldn't think of doing the different slides that other people did.
You can see cyberbullying everywhere now. No matter where you go there will be that one person that wants to act cool and make fun of people. Most people that has been bullied as a child will be a bully in middle/high school. This is a situation that we need to stop. Most people in middle school wont think about hurting peoples feelings for little things, but it can create a little fire that spreads until it burns every feeling and life. Cyberbullying is very dangerous and we can do something about it.
I have been bullied and cyberbullied for long enough. People has hurt my feelings almost everyday in my life. If you watched my video then you will understand just some troubles I have went through. My problem is not the biggest but it is big enough for me to realize that I needed to put a stop to it.
These two weeks has been fun but hard at the same time. Early College is getting harder by the minute with all the work and projects we have to do plus keeping up with out college class. I am glad tomorrow is Friday. We get a half day, which is better then no half day. The regular Gaston County schools had a have day today and has no school tomorrow. We only have school because we want to get out in May instead of June.
I hope we get into our own building soon. They have been putting it off since August. We need to get in there and feel like school.
