Anti-Bullying Video/Commercials/etc.


I found a video/s showing facts on bullying, there will be more, trust me on that.

Click Here.
And Here.
I chose the first one because it has facts on what actually happens, like bullying happens in class every 25 minutes.
The second one I chose because it just shows cyber bullying. The ending may be cheesy, but it makes sense, pulling the plug on cyber bullying, is easier than pulling the plug on someone else's life.

Hold up, I have one more.
Click Here.
I chose this video because I like basketball, and for an NBA player to come out as gay, that is amazing. He's actually the first athlete, of any major American sport, to admit that he is gay. His name is Jason Collins and he currently plays for the Washington Wizards.

Review on The Knife of Never Letting Go

Wow. The book is prolly one of the best books out there. Usually I don't read much, but when we started the book, I got into it. It has a lot of action, and the author describes the characters beautifully well. The story seemed pretty boring at first, then it got really amazing near the end, I actually wanted more after the end! I was really surprised when I heard the audiobook because Todd, the main character has sort of like a southern accent, I thought he had more of a normal English accent, but he didn't. I noticed some spelling mistakes, but they were on purpose 'cuz it seems like it's the language they speak there. Ex: You're- Yer in the book. The book takes place on "New World". Which means that they moved from Earth onto another planet, hence them saying "Old World" referring to our homeworld. They censored the bad words well, but they let loose only once. The author introduces a girl in the beginning, having her to come from ships above and onto a world where supposedly there is no women. The girl's name is Viola and she grows a liking for Todd, near the end of the book, I think she shows some affection towards him and I think Todd does too, but they don't show it. She is more intelligently-developed than Todd is and thus able to read Todd's ma's journal. I almost forgot, most of the book Todd and Viola are running away from Todd's hometown of Prentisstown, cuz they are being chased by Aaron, the towns preacher. They are trying to get to Haven, the biggest town on New World and they make it, but there is someone already there...... Sorry I can't tell you more, read the next book to find out. 5/5 stars is my rating. What a book!
