When Elliot writes about his experience with the Jock Rots and sends it out over the KidNet, he includes the following quote in his letter.

"I think people ought to realize that stuff like this goes on every day…The rest of you are all part of it-because you let it go on and maybe you think it's funny, or you think it only happens to geeky outsiders and kids who are smaller or fatter or skinnier or don't have so many friends or so much money as you. So tell me-what happens when you don't have so many friends one day, or you don't have so much money, or something bad happens to you?" (91-92)


Blog Question:
What is the message is he trying to get across to his classmates? (6pts)
He is trying to say that something bad could happen to you. You could also be bullied, so bullying has to be stooped(92-93). He is also trying to scare the jock Rots. Elliot said in his story "Oh, and hey jock Rots.I'm not the only one who knows who you are. Sleep tight!" (93). Basically, Elliot is trying to get across that bullying is bad(91-93).

Blog Question: After the Bully Lab was renamed, the Revealers, and the stories of the three Darkland students were released and well received by the student body, Elliot wanted to publish Russell’s narrative about Richie punching Russell in the face.
1) Why was Russell so opposed to the idea (pg. 110)? Explain. (4 pts)
2) What is happening to the relationship between Russell and Richie. (3 pts)
3) Two Peer Comments (4 pts each)

Blog Questions Answer
1)Since Richie helped him when Burk and Blanchette threatened to fight him so Richie jumped in and scared them. So Russel now thinks that Richie might not be that bad after all. He thinks Richie respects him so there is no need to expose him.

2)I think they are slowly becoming friends since Richie stops bullying him and even stood up for him on pg 97-99.I think friends stand up for each other so since rRichie stood up for him he is his friend.
