It is okay to disagree, but do it in a polite manner.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?
I think the message he is trying to get out to the students is that bullying happens under your nose and you should take action to stop it because what if something happens to you and your the victim how would you feel then. Don't bully for the fun or to take out anger on others... just DON'T bully.I completely agree with what he says and that it is like if we stick together and try to stop bullying in this school t can work.

I agree with you, but I also think he is only telling them about bullyin and how bad it is. Then, the people who read that, can tell themselves "oh it's bad I should stop". But I dont think most of the people who bully do that for fun. They probably have other issues.
