By Tommy, Grade 5, St. Francis Xavier, Wilmette, Illinois, USA Bullies are people who pick on the weaker and unpopular people. The people they pick on feel like they don't fit in. Those kids that are picked on might not be good at sports or school, but everybody is good at something. You just have to find the thing you're good at deep down inside of you. In my classroom we have lots of different kinds of kids.
Some kids can play piano, some can act, and there are kids that sing beautifully.
Some kids are really good football and soccer players. My teacher this year is very good at Social Studies. I think everybody has a special quality, and you just need to find that quality so everybody can be noticed. I think the killers in Colorado were trying to get noticed by wearing black rain coats. Maybe if they felt they fit in they wouldn't have had to do all those weird behaviors to try to get noticed.
