we're trying to help because yes like you said it's going to follow you from middle from elementary school to middle school to high school in adult adults probably bully more than kids do i know a lot of kids are beginning bully and like from so it's great to know their personalities are change like one of my friends was like really a bright kid in sixth grade when you know she's really not as she used to be she don't really talk to people a lot she light stays to herself to like she'd be mean to everybody that tries to talk to her even when some of the kids came and to cab and they started talking about their feelings and expressing like how they thought they were very like some were deprived somewhere even suicidal and it just like really damages  era of social media and the internet and all the different apps that they have snap chat instagram it's easy to type something and send it so what we try to do is get him past a face it's a lot more difficult to talk to somebody face to face and say something and actually you know mean it and you can type something and send it you know nobody hides behind the screen and behind the keyboard but face to face then you have to be you have to answer to you have to own what you said i've actually  it was almost i think every other week every two weeks we get together on at our school everyone and everyone that's called a meeting and we talk about things that are upcoming like the media they were and if they see something they say something is just like out in the streets now you know this is the world we live in if you see something you think it's especially if you say something if they see bullying they hear about it on social media they witness any kind of billing as long as it's not physical if it's if it's physical in nature we tell them immediately go tell an adult don't get involved don't put yourself in a situation if it's a physical confrontation stay out of it let an adult handle that if it's verbal if it's social media driven we need you to write it down bring it to our attention so that we can get the students to come in and sit down talk about it figure out what's going on so that's basically they're basically the eyes and ears of the well five years ago when i came to brookside i was approached by a student here so there is a lot of kids at school and i saw them just like kind of upset you know a lot of the time and some of the people who i was unfortunately friends with that time they were really mean and just like belittling the kids that were there and just making them feel bad you know bulling them all the time so i wanted to change that and she was saying you know there was really nothing for her to reach out to other than the normal you know reporting it to the administration the administration had only she says she thought there should be something else for kids to actually do about bullying so we sat down we were talking about i said well we just start a club to where the kids on a reporting bully and we get them together and we give i said i'll give the kids a platform where they can't handle it amongst themselves before it gets to the point where i guess the administration the referrals are written there's disciplinary action and things like that let's just give the kids a theater peer to peer talk it out and see if it can be resolved that way if it can be resolved that way then we would take it to the expressed my feelings about how everything was revealing in front of me and like how the kids that i saw they were getting bullied how they would carry themselves throughout the days and i would just observe that you know so i would just go and talk to him about it and i just brought it to him like you know we need to do something about this and i was just like maybe let's start a quad like i don't know first it was like a comforting thing you could come here and we'll talk about the problems but then it you know devolved into something you know fluor really excited that she was doing it and that she was trying to you know make a change and that she wanted to help other kids and that you know were kind of worried that she was going to put a target on  good probably fifteen or sixteen kids and we did do as much as we can and we did like nugent on the news and stuff and yes it has been that progressive we've gotten the bullying level way down at our school those kids that you talk to that they are the kids that like to take it seriously but they've either been a victim or they are bullies and they were bullies and that's really difficult because it's almost like in a meeting these kids stand up and say you know what i bully i know what you're doing i was there i did this and this is how it affects that person and i think that kid is more affected than the kid that maybe was the victim of being bullied because they know hey i saw what i did i own what i did and i saw the effects of what i did and you know that's really strong and you saw the kid that day i mean that was that that's huge and like i said these are the points on those of the kids it's all them it's all there and we just gave him a platform to do it i think it's that there's that is getting bigger and from what i've heard you know from morgan that he has gone to other schools now i'm glad it's helping water people and like you said there's like you know sixty kids there now and i'm glad that all these kids can you know comment even if they haven't got a boy before they can help the other kids who are getting bullied and like just give them some wisdom one like how to handle so how do you go on about their day without worrying about somebody we make a difference in the community with these kids and i think it goes out on the street it's making a difference there the parents come up the parents tell us you know they  what we're doing and i thank them for letting their kid be here because their kids are the ones that are making the difference and we're just trying to give them you know keep in between the lines and keep i'm extremely proud of what we do and i'm proud of the
