If you really new me 4/27/11

Yesterday assembly was not like any of the other assembles we have had in the past about bullying. The assembly I thought was better than any other bullying assembly we have had just because, we saw on a video that showed many people have problems that a lot of other people have just we wouldn't expect them to. Something that I saw was really cool and very persuading was during the video they showed clips of people who were willing to say that this is my life and this certain stuff goes on in my life and were not afraid to say like Me and my dad have not talked in 5 years or how this one person spent $17,000 dollars on plastic surgery because the person got made fun of. They are not afraid to say "If you really knew me you" you would no this about me.

Although after the assembly the high school did somthing very different, something I don't think they have done before. I am not really sure on that though but, what it was and I found very suprising is the whole grade would stand on this huge black line on the gym floor and the speaker would ask questions about like have you ever been bullied over text, or face book, or have you seen people die rigth before your eyes. Stuff realating to the bulling assembly.There were many others questions like those, but one did catch my eye from where I was I could see almost everyone around the gym and when the question was asked I think that everyone stepped forward to say yes. The question was "Do you wish you could go back in time and have a chance to go change something you wished you could take back or do differently". Which really supried me. Just seeing how many people stepped forward and the people I wouldn't think would step forward.

I thought that the assembly was very helpful to every one, since we got to see that everyone in our grade goes through the same things. That you are not alone. Thinking that you can't imagin some people having those problems because, you think everything in their life is perfect. That exercise showes that there not and they wish some of the things that you wish you could be like too. Yesterday assembly was very different in a good way, but very helpful. Everyone got to see that they are not alone and aren't so different from others they thought they would be. I think it helped everyone in the school, to not say if they were afraid to but step forward with many others and say yes to "If you really new me" you would know this about me that...................................................
