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)Two Peer Responses (4 pts)

The message Elliot's trying to get across to his classmates is that you should not just let the bullies bully you. You should try to do things like saying to them that bullying isn't good, and you should stop bullying people including me. Then it might work a little bit, but if you don't do anything about the bullying incidents then bullying could increase even more.

For example on page 92 Elliot sends the message to everyone after the bullying incident with the Jock Rots in The Revealers and it says you shouldn't let the bullying incidents happen. You should do something to stop people from bullying people.

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 Answer:
1) Russell was opposed to the idea of sending e-mail through kid net about Richie and Russell, and about him asking why and how he terrorizes people because he thinks that Richie is going to be friendly to him. The reason Russell thinks Richie is being friendly to him is because on pages 95 ~ 99 when The Rots were bullying Russell Richie came and helped Russell.

2) The relationship between Russell and Richie is becoming like a king and servant kind of relationship, where the king orders the servant to do things. It is because on pages 141-143 Richie tells Russell in the boiler room to never ask him stupid questions like why are you piking on kids and when Russell said Richie's dad is from Hell he got angry and said you should take that back and never say that to me.
