The Dreaded Bus Ride Home

The school bus.
A bullying hot spot around the world.
I ride the bus almost everyday to and from school.
It's a peaceful ride, sometimes.
The worst part is the mean words.
Kids two grades younger then me shouting words I would never dare to say.
Boys and girls in my grade calling each other bad words.
It's terrible and the bus driver never seems to notice.

Sincerely, Tabby

Good Clique Gone Bad

A clique is a social group. You may think that all cliques are bad. But that's not true. It can be a group of really good friends who support each other and like being around each other. Bad cliques create gossip and rumors. Also they can be backstabbing and jealous.

Sometimes, two girls who are part of a good clique can get in a fight. They try to create an "army" of supporters from their group of friends. This becomes "good clique, gone bad." If someone tries to recruit you into her clique army, say NO, and if possible try to help your fighting friends make peace.

To learn more about cliques, check back tomorrow. For further reading, check out Bart King's The Big Book of Girl Stuff.

Looks Don't Matter

Cheap clothes, boots bought off eBay, some excuses bullies give themselves to bully you.
I'm not telling you to speed out to the nearest strip mall and max out your mom's credit card.
I'm telling you looks don't matter.
So wear your hand-me-down jeans with pride, and don't let bullies hurt you.

Sincerely, Tabby

Sucked in!

As you saw in the "Cool Club" video, there are different groups. The regular kids often get sucked in to the group. They start to follow the 'cool' group. They do bad things, that they never would of done before. They sort of change in a way. Before they got into they 'Cool' group, they looked at the 'Cool' kids, and wanted to be in there group. Or they disliked them. But since the 'Cool' group does rumors and other mean things.The victims don't want to be teased and hurt, so they follow the 'Cool' group and start being mean. They are sucked in! They are bullies. Sometimes the people who are in the groups, are unsure and not confident in themselves. Others just wanted attention and etc... That's facts about the 'Cool' club!
