Overall, it seems that bullying at Franklin Academy is not much of a problem, for most students said that bullying isn't a very major issue. (See the answers for question 4). Though, a few things don't seem to add up. More students have witnessed bullying at this school then the number of kids who have been bullied. So apparently, a handful of students might be afraid to admit that they have been bullied.

But why? Why is it so hard to tell someone that you're a victim of bullying? Is it a fear of the bully themselves, or fear of being teased for telling someone that you're bullied? Also, more students said that they have been bullied (40.8%) than those who have bullied (19.2%). I wonder why that is? Actually, there could be a possibility that some people bully others, while they themselves are bullied too. That could be why the percentages don't match.

I know for certain that bullying isn't a very prevalent issue at our school compared to the public schools that I went to before this. My last school was actually really bad when it came to bullying, so Franklin Academy just seems better by comparison. But I'm not saying bullying is non-existent here. Something needs to be done about bullying. Not just at Franklin Academy, but at other schools across the globe.

Questions:

1. I agree with everything these people are saying. They all seem to be saying the same thing: if we don't remember the time of the Holocaust, then stuff like that will happen again, which has already happened in Rwanda.

2. I have seem evidence on the realness of these quotes in Africa, right now. Almost the same number of people have been killed in the genocide there as the Holocaust.

4. I haven't seen any evidence to the contrary of these quotes.

Picture That Reminds Me Of George Santayana's Quote:

Felicien Kaduga. This man is the African Adolf Hitler. He has commited genocide against several millions of people, but, as George Santayana said, "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." And, as you can see, it is being repeated, YET WE DO NOTHING.

My First Blog

That's it. You heard it. Ben's a BLOGGER now! Oh, and attention to all pedophiles lurking out there: I once took 3 karate lessons, and I'm not afraid to defend myself. First, lemme tell you guys about myself. I live in North America. I'm a male, and Frosted Flakes are my favorite cereal. While I'm blogging, I'll be talking about the Holocaust and...that's all I know so far. Anyways, thanks for following me on The Amazing World of Bengie!
