April Fool was yesterday. How many of you got yourself fooled by your friend? How did it feel to be the butt of the joke?
I suppose some jokes can be harmless fun. But what if the joke continues on and on even after April first? What if you become the laughing stock of everyone for the next week? What does that mean?
I'm actually talking about bullying. What is bullying? What do you understand by that word 'bullying'? How does bullying differ from joking about a friend or making fun of others? Is there a difference?
Have you been bullied? Or have you bullied others before? Would you know if you are being a bully?
I raised this topic because it has been another concern that I have observed in the class. Will discuss it in detail when I have your input.
Lastly, can some of you snazzy bloggers inform the other 'sleeping' members to share their thoughts. If I can name names.....Jianqiu, Wei Hao, Wen Hao, Shaoqi, Wenqi, Natalie....and the list goes on. I'm still waiting for the day that I received 42comments.

March's Reflection
It has been a busy March that I didn't get to post a second topic although I had planned for it.
In last month's topic, I found two strong discussions in Qi Qing's and Mumthaj's comments. Both had supported their arguments with their own real life experience and that made their comments more meaningful. However, as I could only select one winner, I have selected Mumthaj as the winner for March. Thank you Mumthaj for the excellent example you gave on the sacrifice your mum had made for you.
I think it is very true how mother's are willing to make sacrifices for their children. Being a mother, I too, sorry if sounds 'cliche', would climb mountains to help my son. However, I would like you to reflect and observe, how many of these 'children' are actually willing to sacrifice their time, attention and love for their parents when they are already old, crippled and weak? I suppose we will discuss to this topic again when you embark on your CIP to the old folks soon.
Meanwhile, congratulations Mumthaj!
