Bullying and Harrassment

Talking to Mr. Verboomen really made me think. I thought it was interesting on how he used an example of himself being small and having people talk about him. I had some thoughts and then when he said that he was the one we were talking about it made me feel kind of bad. That was eye opening. I think that acceptable teasing is when your flirting, teasing with your friends, or its obvious that your just playing around with someone without crossing any boundaries that may hurt someone. I think that if people would just think about what they say before they say it then that would help stop people from saying things that inadvertently hurt people. I also think that if we make it more aware and if Mr. Verboomen talked to more classes then people might think about it more.

Role Playing

During our simulation I took on the role of the teachers pet multiple times. I walked a student down to the office one time, I shared my french fries with Ms. Johnson, I did things for her during class, and I complimented her regularly. I later found myself actually mentioning her in another class and I also continued to defend her sometimes during class the next day.

The role of the guards surprised me the most because they really became very cruel and mean to the prisoners when a lot of them were really nice people. They could've just been normal guards and made sure the prisoners did what they had to do but it seemed like they almost went out of their way to make the prisoners life bad.
