ANTI-BULLING investigation

There is a big problem which children go through which is bullying. It is important because these children are the future of the world, and as I had personal experience I must say it is painful and must stop for the better of the world.

Most children experience normal social problems. Social pain is the sadness and anger that friendship brings. It is the pain when your best friend finds another best friend. Social pain is the torture of teasing, and it is when a child comes and says 'everyone was mean at school.' But it doesn't go on every day. Fifteen percent of children may experience extreme bullying. Here are some warning signs: A child who never gets invited on play dates or birthday parties and never calls anyone; a child who always gets stomachaches to avoid social situations; a child who is teased always or is constantly doing the teasing; or a child who regularly bullies other children. Bullying exists in all cultures. Bullying can be physical, bullying can be verbal, and bullying can be nonstop. Bullying can be done by individuals or by groups, and through gossip. Bullies that are cruel to others are not physically big and strong kids. Actually, they are often popular kids who use power in hurtful ways. Many bullies are picked on a lot themselves and take it out on others. Girl bullies start rumors, call kids names behind their backs, and steal friends.

evaluation











My website about climate change did not turn out how i expected it to be. My design that i have drawn on a piece of paper does not match the current website, that is because iweb does not have all the functions that i need.  my product seems fine although i had higher expectation. i like the colors and the different fonts. 
in my case investigation was the hardest stage. finding information and putting i in my own words. i saved it on my google documents but then the next day when i checked it someone deleted it. so i had to repeat the whole stage once again..
in my plan and design stage it very simple. i simply drew the welcome page and how i would like it to look. i also planed out where the navigation buttons would be located. i did not right the information on the plan i only drew out where the information will be held.
in the creating stage i had no trouble using i web. it was very simple and no complications. in the begging i choose layered paper layout, but after a while i did not like the lay out so i changed it beebob. 
 i have put lots of effort in my iweb. i did enjoy the process of creating, but not much of the others.
