You won't be focused on anything you do such as schoolwork. It can even cause you to stop eating and to stop doing homework. Sometimes when the problem is very serious, the victims will even have thoughts about suicide.

__Types of Bullying __ There are many different types of bullying. The types we used were Cyberbullying and Physical Bullying. Cyberbullying is when you make fun of someone online or in text messages on your phone. In this video, the bullies call Kelvin a nerd online. Physical Bullying is when you actually hurt someone with movements such as punching, kicking, and pushing. Kelvin gets a huge bruise from when Carlos and Pablo (Bullies) kick Kelvin. Even just making a joke can really hurt people.

__Ways to defend yourself __ 1.The best possible solution to stop being bullied by someone else is to talk to someone you trust about it. Don't be afraid to talk now! Kelvin did the right thing by talking to the guidance counselor to stop this bullying. What bullies fear the most is when an adult finds out about it.

2. You should also stand up for yourself. If you don't, the bullies will keep going on and on making fun of you and you don't want that to happen.

3. Find out who your true friends. You can tell who true friends are when they say these words, "It's okay. I'll try to make this stop." Friends are the best people to talk to.

4. Try to avoid and ignore the bully as much as possible. Don't let him get to you. Standing there face to face to the bully won't do you any good. Just walk away.

5. Have confidence in yourself. Bullies can't make you something you aren't.

6. Don't show your feelings when a bully says or does something to them. Showing them will make the bully happier and you don't want the bully getting him/her what they want.

__Why they do it __ 1. Bullies bully people because they want to get attention. They think that bullying will get them to be popular and that is definetely not the way to go.

2. Another reason is maybe because of the constant fighting within their family.
