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.

wow! I am the first. but then i got no idea what are the questions.......
Hmm... Bullying and joking? There's a mighty great difference in them.
Bullying means "joking" in a way that is violent, consisting of fighting etc.
Bullying will cause someone to be hurt, even though some bullies think it's sort of "having fun" and "joking" type.
Though some people always get bullied, especially those who are weaker. Most people think that bullies are brave and strong, but actually there are timid in the inside and acting "brave" trying to act cool.
Even IF somebody tries to bully me, I will just walk away and ignore him or her. He or she will just walk away somehow if they see that you are not afraid.
I strongly believe that we SHOULD NOT try to challenge the bully. (like you know who in our class who always want to quarrel over small matters) Challenging the bully will result in great injuries, which is different from joking.
Joking, somehow will hurt others who are sensitive to them and make them upset, which a real joke isn't suppose to make someone crestfallen. The real joking should include humour(not rude ones) and some words that make people happy.
So, my classmates, DO NOT EVER JOKE RUDELY AND NO BULLYING!
RoCk oN, 5A~~~!!!
Bullying is bullying. Bullying is a bad stuff. And of course. I'm sure everbody has been bullied and has bullied someone else before. And don't say that boys are the only ones. Girls also sometimes bully others. I don't want to mention names, but there's some girls on the class who bullies pupils. And sometimes I can't stand Kristian and his gang. Why do they always bully Zen yan. Even someone put his name as zen yan while typing something on Shawn Lee's blog. Bullying is bad, and it'll never change. There will always be bullies around

Bullying...
A topic I hate.
What is the big difference in bullying and joking?
Joking is just a way you can make a depressed person smile. Funny. Using words.
Bullying is when you pysically abuse someone.
And not to forget, mentally abuse someone.
Abusing mentally means, joking, but using the 'wrong' words.
People who are defenceless, get bullied, like me.
Example, H-- F--- Y---, always call me names.
But I will listen and forget.
Just like that, you do not need to keep the sorrowful baggage.
Bullies and big and popular. This sentence is wrong.
But they are TRYING to be cool.
Thank u Mdm Suriani, for posting this topic. I really appreciate this(not to say i don't appreciate others and other things.)
I will never oppose the bully as 1, you may feel losing or be abused physically.
I think, 5A should be more kind to people.
Make this rule,NO BULLYING AND NO NAME CALLING!
RoCk On 5a
Bullying and joking are a lot different but sometimes joking can go too far and is consider as bullying.
When somebody thinks the joke is not funny anymore than just stop but some people don't stop and carry on the joke get worse and worse, to me it is sort of bullying. Bullies always bully the weaks. Most people are scare of the bullies as they did not want to get in trouble and that is what encourage them to do more, sometimes those who are brave always talk back to the bully but most of the time the bullies and gang always win, the brave one always get beat up but i'm talking most of the time.
Joking sometimes hurt peoples feeling who are sensitive.I TOO STRONGLY BELIVE THAT DO NOT CHALLENGE A BULLY
i regreted pushing Shawn's head because i would not want other people to do that to me and instead i should have just told him to leave
I have not been bullied by anyone nor have I bullied someone else. If I am a bully, I would not have any friends but I have, so it means I am not a bully! Yay!
Bullying is different from joking. Joking is just making fun of others and just trying to be cheeky, but bullying is much more serious than joking.
I have been fooled in April Fool's Day by a friend in band and I do not feel comfortable.
I should not have told other people to revenge for me because it is a very wrong thing to do. I regret what i have done.
Bullies are people who think they are stronger than us, thinking that they can bully the people younger than them.Bullies can go to the extend that they can even beat people up.Some of the younger ones may be just too timid to report that bullying matter to their parents as they would not want to offend those bullies.History may just repeat itself and the bullies will get bullied by another person, who is much more stronger than them. Bullies are just trying to act strong but in their heart, they are just too afraid.
Hello everyone,i am new here,i had never been bullied by someone before,may be is because i am tall and strong <3.It is wrong to bully someone who is smaller and shorter than u.What happen if some one who is taller or stronger than u bullied u. Think about it>:0
Bullying?! bullying is an serious offence! But bullied is a sad thing. When you being bullied, you do not feel that you do not belong. You should not be timid. you should be brave and tell some one about it.
If someone bullies me, I will not bother about them and I will tell someone that i trust like my mother or the teacher.
But you should not hit or scold them . If you do, you are also at fault.
So you yourself should not bully anyone!!!
April fools' day is really a wonderful day.You see. We can trick someone. But not trick until someone almost cry.There were a lot of people who were a pain in the neck.

:D
Now I got some idea. hehehe. Now I am at the school putting in coments here. Aya, I talk broken english.
Ha I am not fooled by anyone ^^ but all these jokes have been funny. Even if I am tricked, I will also laugh.If these jokes continue, not only for one day, its not good. These are called lies. If something real had happened and your friend thought you are playing with her, disastor strikes. So, I had not lied ever since I was in P4.
Bullying is hitting other smaller kids or the person who is at the same level.I hate bullying because it is a very bad thing to do.Joking is the same as kidding. Whenever I want to joke with people I would say "just kidding".
Bullying is hitting other people which is another thing.
Even though I had been bullied before, I still remember him. That reminds me that bullying is not better than joking.If you say somethingbad, but sasy "just kidding", that person would feel better. I had not been bullying because I hate to do that. Even if I had tried to bully someone, I will say sorry.I know I had not bullied anyone but I just joke around. That makes people happy:) Bye
The difference between bullying and joking is a big gap!Bullying is an offence but joking is kind of playing with your freind or whom ever it is.Joking can sometimes turn into bullying or cause your own petty freind to be angry.Erm, actually,I have one post at my blog.
April Fool's Day... Oh, it was my birthday...
Of course, nobody would like to be bullied. And luckily I did not fall for the prank my friends planted... Because I was very very alert that day so I would not get tricked by my friends...
Joking and bullying has a very 'BIG' difference in them. U may think that joking is just a small thing, but, for some people, joking is a BIG, BIG matter for them. They may feel offended, though sometimes they don't.
Bullying, however, is a violent way of joking.
Bullying will always cause people to be hurt. Type more later, gotta go now. ( now in school's comp lab!)
Actually bullying is bullying the smaller ones, thinking that you are the biggest/tallest person in the world.That's completly RUBBISH!! Bullying is very bad you might tend to hit or kick someone. There is also a big gap between bullying and joking. Joking is like playing with somebody or in order to make them happy you tell them some jokes. So pleaseseeeeee don't bully someone!!
Bullying and joking is two different matters.Bullying is something like hurting others or making them feel frightened. Joking is something like teasing which makes the atmosphere feel livelier, but sometimes a joke can become a serious problem too.I understand the feeling of being bullied as I had been bullied before. There was this girl when I was in k1 where she kept pinching me and called the other groupmembers not to talk to me. I was very scared that time. Luckily, my teacher knew abou it and changed my place. This was where I met two good friends and I still keep contact with them too. So, don't bully others!!!
I thinkv it is a fun day as i could play tricks on my friend.Ilook forward to that day next year.
april fool is nice as we can make a fool of people.i really enjoyed that day.

Joking is when you tease or play tricks someone for fun,humour and laughter.Jokes should not hurt the person's physically or his emotions.But,joking might be sort of bullying too.If you take away a person's chair when he or she wants to sit down,he or she may fall down and be hurt.
Bullying is when the "jokes" involves violence.It is a serious offence.There are many types of bullying.The most common is insulting.There are other types like cyber-bullying and extortion of money. If someone bullies you,you will be either emotionally or physically hurt.
Bullies are actually not that strong.They only bully the weak.
They are only trying to make people think they are strong and cool.But,in the end,they are just embarrassing theirself when they are punished.If you are being bullied,tell an adult you can trust.Do not try to fight back or you might get a blue black on your eye.
Sorry.I made some grammar mistakes.
Bullying is different from joking as everyone should be laughing when it is a joke but bullying makes fun of a person and taunts he or she either mentally or physically.
Bullies are nvr stronger or cooler. They are only insecure or not condident. They also resort to bullying as they do not want to be the butt of the joke. I was bullied by othrs once as I had a unique surname from you guyz. It is harder than you can imagine when going to class where everyone treats you like an outcast when you are trying to belong. I hated it. Others I know are also bullied because of their differences. But hey, we are all human beings so we all have feelings.
Now my last word. I was a bully once as I wanted to get back at those that made fun of me. That was a case of being insecure as I did not want to get bullied. I should have ignored those taunts. Instead, I was foolish and followed the bullies. To all bullies, STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!!!!!!! I think everyone is important in making 5A a place where everyone is ethically and morally equal.

JOSEPH< YOU ARE TALKING RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!! THERE WAS NEVER A GANG MADE BY ME!!!!!! I WOULD TALK ABOUT THE RUBBISH IN MY BLOG!
well...i dun noe it was even april fool until someone teased me..haha..but i didn't reacted much.i said LOL and bb..
Ok... This is a continued comment... Pls take note...
Ya, bullying involves violence too. U may think that joking is just joking, but for some people, if they feel offended by your joke, they may joke very rudely to you and then the joker and the victim might get into a fight.
So, the best thing is not to bully people or joke rudely. Just try to refrain from some joking and it may cause you a lot less trouble.
And i just noticed that some people in the class like to sabour people and if the person they sabour gets very angry, it may result to a fight too(Im talking so much about fight because it involves bullies).
Bye bye.
Just visit my blog http://jiayun6.blogspot.com when u're free. Thx to those who visited my blog.
PFFT . Okay well...
Joking and bullying are SERIOUSLY two worlds apart (thinking of what to type -.-)...
As you all can see, I joke with Celine everyday probably because we're lame, crappy and also mad up there. :D
(Wahahaha)
Joking means trying to cheer one up or adding laughter to what's happening (although sometimes my jokes are too lame. -.-).
But what about bullying?
Bullying is just like thrusting an invisible sword through someone's heart or joking with resorting to violence. Take for example, the bigger ones like to bully the smaller ones, because they think they're so strong but the smaller ones are just weaklings.
Two types of bullying consists of via words, or through physical attacks like hitting someone or intentionally pushing one down without apologizing.
What's so fun about bullying?
Sometimes when people get bullied, they might get immensely despondent and infuriated, and they might cry you know.
Is it really that fun to see someone cry?
I guess the answer is pretty obvious.
Also, the words and pain will be engraved in the person's heart. So I really despise bullying.
And not to mention, I guess I'm always getting bullied. (-.-)
Geez, seriously, why do you people always say stuffs like I love Jasper, I love Aaron and I love Zen Yan or whatever nonsensical and ridiculous rubbish?
You people are just spouting pure rubbish...
But oh well, I don't think I really care anymore because I usually call them to shut up :X.
Okay so I guess you bullies (you know very well who you are) should just stop it and change for the better, and I think I know who Hui Ying is referring too...
Okay I will try and change too, alright?
Ending my "essay" here...
fiveeyyohheight; is love. <3
HELLO.
Theres such a huge difference between bullying and joking. Joking is just normal. You just tell someone something that is funny. Bullying, on the other hand, is much more serious. It means joking but in the wrong way. Maybe you get too carried away and start making fun of others. Or maybe some people think that bullying is cool and it makes people think that you are so-called "brave" and "strong". Those people actually have nothing better to do and waste their time by bullying people.
I have been so-called "bullied" before. There's this girl who always like to disturb others and act cool by bullying. Only dumb people be friends with people like that. Those people are just acting cool but actually they're cowards deep down inside.
Our class also has some bullies. They always call others names and I think it's not nice to do that. You may make those people miserable and angry. Imagine you are being called funny names by others. Will you like it? I'm sure you won't. So, hope you guys get the message.
DO NOT BULLY OTHERS OR ELSE YOU'LL END UP IN DEEPDEEPDEEP TROUBLE !
Bye & Tc !
