Yes, I feel there are kids at school who get excluded. I think it probably makes them feel alone, unwanted, or like there doing something wrong. It makes them mad. There are a ton of things you could do about. If you notice it happening, you should DEFINENTLY include that person. Or say to the people excluding them, "Hey guys, what about *so in so*?" or "Hey *so in so* want to join us?" Its not right. No matter how different someone is, you should not leave them out. Excluding is basically bullying in another form. You are leaving someone to feel all alone. You make them feel like a tiny old farmhouse in a big city. They're out there all alone, feeling like they don't belong. Once last year I experienced a sistuation where at the lunch table, a group of girls were talking about who would sit at their table the next day. They didn't include my one friend's name, and the next day they told her to get up when she sat with us. I said, "You can't do that. She sat there first and has the right to stay. You can't leave her out." It is wrong to exclude someone. If you do that, you ARE a BuLLY.
At our school I dont think kids get excluded I think they feel excluded. What I mean by that is maybe some kids feel excluded because they are not good at a sport and everyone is talking about it. Well in that case they are not really getting excluded they just get a vibe that they are not welcome in that area at that time. I know from personal experiance that it doesnt feel good. infact it feels like you are alone on a standead island with none to talk to. And at first you think it is your fault thaey are ot taking to you,but then you realize that the problem is the people making you feel bad. Most of the time the person making you feel bad is actually one of your friends. We all could be alot more open twards others and except new friends. And hepl other kids get involved. ~Sarah Morris~
Yes, I feel that there are kids that are excluded. Luckily i'm not excluded most of the time. I think that it makes these kids feel horable and lonely. There isn't really anything i can do about it because it normally isnt people in my friend group and so i don't normally hangout with them because maybe i don't have anything in common with them or i am just not friends with them.
I dont think that people get excluded because I think everyone has there own friends. Like we already went through popularity and I think we came to a conclusiom that everyone has friends. Sometimes though people want to expand their friendship level and try new friends. They might not want that to happen so they may say no. I think if anything happens then that will
I do not think that people are constantly excluded. But if there were, I believe they would feel aweful. People that don't get included would feel like a dumptruck. If there was anything I could do I would. For example I would include them in anything they want and maybee I would invite them to hang out.
Yes, I think that their are kids at our school who are constantly excluded by their friends. I feel that exclusion makes these people feel sad, lonely, and upset. I feel bad for these people, but I can't really do anything about this.
I think that are excluded alot. I think that this makes them feel bad and hurt. They don't deserve it sometimes bt if they do something really bad then I think that they should get excluded. I think that I could help by talking to them and giving them advice.
Yes I do believe that there are kids that are excluded a lot here at school. I don't think it makes them feel good. It makes them feel the oppisite. When your excluded you feel terrible and left out. This makes school not a fun experience when your not enjoying it. What we could do about it is try to include people when they would like to be involved in an activity. Make sure that everyone is included so there are no tears and sorrowness.
I think people do get excluded in school. Yes, you can do something about it. When I see someone excluded i try to help them by asking them so they will be included. The people who are excluded feel horrible and lonely.
By:Ana Castro Yes, I feel there are kids at school who get excluded. I think it probably makes them feel alone, unwanted, or like there doing something wrong. It makes them sad. There are a ton of things you could do about. If you notice it happening.You should make then feel better. No matter how different someone is, you should not leave them out. Excluding is basically bullying in another form. You are leaving someone to feel all alone. You make them feel like a tiny old farmhouse in a big city. They're out there all alone, feeling like they don't belong. If you are doing that then you are bully. SO DON'T DO THAT AT ALL.NOT COOL.
Are there kids here at school who get constantly excluded? How do you think that makes them feel? Is there Yes, there are kids that get excluded out of numerous projects and such in my school. Excluding people is very rude and inconsiderate. I know I have been excluded from many things but now more people appreciate me(I hope.)I think the kids that get excluded feel depressed, and lonely. These two words can describe anytime someone is excluded from a group. I think if everyone stood up against the person excluding others and demanded their presence than this world would be a better place. Elizabeth Andress :D
In our school, I do think there are kids who are excluded from stuff. In my opinion I think that they feel upset and that they might not fit in with other. Thats not fair to them everyone should be included in everything no one should be left out! To change this we could try to reach out to them and say "hey want to hang with us?" or "hey you should come too," so that they know they fit in. People should try and notice the small things like people sitting out or people that seem down. If we do notice those things we can reach out with to them.
Yes, there are possibly some kids that are excluded. I see some kids sit at tables alone. I"m thankful that im not excluded. I feel so bad for the lonely people. I think it makes them feel upset. They could constantly cry everyday withpout no one knowing. You could join them in your group or sit next to them at lunch. You can still do this stuff even though your not there friends! Alexis Kelso
I think there are some people who exclude some other people. Like they just want to be part of their friends group and don't want to have new people coming into their group. I mean there are some kids in school that don't have any friends. And there are some who have so many but don't want any "outsiders" to join in their group of friends. To me i think thats just because they think that their so much better than every one else. Well their not. We're all equal in this school and we should be friends with who ever we want. If your be excluded from a group of friends or maybe even your group of friends, talk it over with those people and may be you can think of something and work it out.
Yes there are people in at our school that are excluded. We could help those people by including them like playing at recess or when teachers say "partner up", you could partner with them. People that are excluded feel like they don't fit in and feel unwanted. -Michael Romanchak
There aren't many, but I feel that there are definitely some people who seem to be constantly excluded. I know that being excluded always gives me an awful feeling in the pit of my stomach. Oddly enough, being ignored and excluded makes me feel the same way I feel when I am sick. I feel bad. Sad. Sore. I don't like it at all, and I don't know anyone who ENJOYS being ignored. If you are one of those few people that actually likes to be excluded, then you should head over to the CRAZY doctor. Crazy is honestly what you ae if being ignored and left alone gives you good feeling inside. There are many things that the innocent bystander could do. DONT BE THAT!! INTRFERE! Go over to the person who is standing all alone at recess looking off into the distance thinking, "What did I do to diserve this?"! :( For all you know, this person could be a lot of fun and super nice! I know that if I saw someone by themself at luch or recess I owuld invite them to do whatever I was doing. That is what I would want someone to do for me!! So to sum it all up, being excluded from anything STINKS and you should help anyoe that that happens to. For all you know, they could be there for you when you need someone the most!!!
Yes, I do think people are excluded at IMMS. What I think is sad is that when someone is excluded, the people that this person is being excluded from, might not even think they are being excluded! This would make people feel extremley sad! I could help by comforting them by talking to them. Or maybe even hanging out with them! Not to get off topic put if you think about it all of these blogs can bring people closer. Everyone of them!!! No matter if it's on the computer or in real life. These blogs can show a difference in someone. It can give you new friends and even more! If you react to what the blog says you will be changed!
I think people get excluded a lot. They want to be apart of agroup but they just can't. Sometimes for the wrong reasons. Maybe that person is cool but the group won't let them in because of the close they wear. That's wrong! It could also be for the right reasons though. I think it's ok to exclude someone if they're a jerk or do drugs. Then they deserve it. -Tommy Egan
Yes, I do think that there are some kids getting constantly excluded out of a lot of games and groups, like basketball, or a group to study with. Sometimes, I'll see someone sitting alone at a lunch table, but then someone will ask that person to join them in something. There are getting people getting excluded but not a lot. But if someone does get excluded, they'll feel pretty bad about themselves. I think if there actually is someone getting excluded A LOT, we should definitely do something about it, like include them in something.
I think that there are many people who get discluded from a group. I think this makes them feel as if there not important or just part of the background. There are some people who either think that they are so cool that they can blow off the people that they may not usually hang out with or just be rude and ignor them all together. Something that people can do about it is they can include the people that are usually discluded (and when I say that I don't mean by making fun of them).
Yes, I think kids feel that nobody likes them because no one wants them in their group in class and that makes them feel sad. Yes We can do alot of things about this problem, and we can include kids in friend groups and class partners for projects and the selection of our friends. John Williams
Sarah, I defenitly agree with you. I do think that there are some people who have so many friends that they don't want anyone else to join. Kasey Williams
Of course, people get excluded in our school. Not only in our school i think this happens ebery where. I think these people feel terrible on the inside but try to hide it. They could also get defensive and say something mean back because they feel like nobody excepts them. When I see this it makes me feel discusted with the people who exclude them and make them feel bad. Almost always I say something to make them feel better and like they belong.
At our school i think kids get excluded. i think some people think that other people shouldent be with them or that they arnt allowed to be there. it is probably hard for people that are excluded. I think you could welcome them to your friends and help them out if that ever happens.
Of course I think people are excuded in our school. I also think it happens everywhere. I think the people who are excluded feel terrible on the inside and try to hide it. They can also get defensive and say something mean back because they feel vonrable. when I see this it makes me feel discusted with the people who do the excluding. When I see That I try to make that person feel better and keep them from leaving. Tyver Butler
you know i do think people in our school get excluded. I have never thought about it but yes people get excluded. I mean that if your friends are in a group and you try to get their attention but they annoy you. that can be really depressing. then, they glance at you and they dont even ask whats wrong. i think that can happen to everybody. yes, we can do something to prevent this excluding we speak of. like, how about if you see a person like lonely and bored but unwelcomed. go over to that person and ask whats wrong, talk to them and make them feel welcomed. so, they kinda pick up what your putting down.
I agree with you jamie! Excluding is a bully in another form. If your being excluded then you should do something about it. You shouldn't just stand there and take it. i mean you have feelings to. It's not like your someone who in school feels like you can't do anything cause your to scared of to weak, but out of school your just like anyone else. If you see someone being excluded then you should do something about it. Like I said you also have feelings. Your not a little weak kid who takes everything that happens to you. If your being excluded from a lunch table or a group of friends, do something about it.
I do believe that people are excluded. But, some people deserve it. Then, sometimes they don't. Bad things happen to good people in life. I think it makes them feel bad on the inside. That's why if I see someone alone I go and sit by them. Then we get into a conversation and stuff and then I think they feel better after. Ryan Stradling
Are there kids in our school that get excluded? I believe there are. It may because they don’t play sports or aren’t “cool” in everyone else’s eyes. I’m sure they feel lonely and not very confident about themselves. It’s not usually their fault, just other kids who think it makes them more popular to be mean and leave out people. Of course there are things I can do. The major thing is just to be nice and try my hardest to include them. Just something as simple as a “Hey, how’s it going?” can brighten peoples day. Even better you could invite them to hang out at recess or be your partner on a project. Emily Gardner : )
Yes,I do feel people get excluded a lot mostly because people say their not COOL. But for the most part because they don't do sports, or because they are not very good at them. Also because the people who like to play sports think they have nothing in common with people who do not. AND THAT MAKES NO SENSE! Just because that person does not do sports or might not like them does not mean that he/she does not have anything in common with that person. And sometimes when the say.. popular people are rude and make remarks at the people who are called unpopular, maybe that makes them nervous and won't want to hang out with those popular or higher class people. So maybe if the higher class people might realize that hanging out with just the people who play sports is not the way to go. Then maybe a little bit of exclusion will go away.And maybe reminding ourselves if we were excluded how would we feel.... because exclusion sometimes comes from popularity. *Gabrielle Bingemann*
Yes, I think kids get excluded in our school. If i was in a situation where people didnt want me to hang out with them or do stuff with them it would make me feel upset because all your trying to do is make a new friend. And for people who say they can't do anything about it it just means they're not trying hard enough. You can really make a diffrence in someones life if you just ask them if they want to hang out after school or sit at your lunch table whatever makes you feel that you did something right. ^^Wyatt Thomas^^

I totally agree with you Alexis! You don't have to be their friend to make them feel better and make them feel more included. Way to go! :P PLEASE READ I really enjoy reading all of these posts. I always read every single one because I like to know people's opinons on popularity, parents, etc. and their experience with these problems. By reading all the posts I learn what some people think about others or how somethings can be improved in our school. Some of these posts are very inspiring and and have a lot of thought into them. Some of the post make me say "Hey, maybe I should do that more" or "I should be more grateful for what I have because some people take that for granite and some people don't have what I have". When Alexis said she feels sad for these excluded people, well it's very sad. Everyone is equal in this world and diserves the love and respect that they truely diserve. Some of the nicest people in the world are poor and are suffering right now, they diserve the same as we have but no helps them or gives to them. WE ARE ALL EQUAL AND NO ONE DISERVES TO BE EXCLUDED!!! Anyway Great posts everyone, I love this blog. It's great and I feel like I can express my feelings more on here then in the real world. :)
Yes, I do think that some kids at our school get excluded. I feel really bad for them. You would be sitting there with all your friends having a wonderful time and then look over to see that one person sitting there all alone. I think that it makes them for less important and very sad. There's a couple of ways that u could do about it. You could invite that person to your table, maybe try to make friends with them, or go and sit with them one day during lunch so they're not so lonely!
I think that there are some people at IMMS that get excluded, but I don't think that they are contently excluded. When kids are excluded, they feel bad, lonely, or feel like they are doing something wrong. I completely agree with Ana. When you exclude someone, its like bullying them! Sometimes, when people exclude others, they don't even realize it, although, it makes the person who is excluded can feel bad or lonely. I think that when you see someone who is alone, they could be excluded from others, so, what you can do is go talk to them and maybe invite them to play with you and your friends. If people did this, them maybe, there would be no exclusion at all at IMMS. BY: ALYSSA MATCHETT
Oh yes. There are alot of kids that get excluded.They get excluded b/c they have dark skin or red hair. Wehter or not they have started puberty. Or if they are too fat or too skinny nobody wants to be with them. Some try to hang out with the totally cool ,not excluded, awosome people. But they say no. It probally makes the person feel crapy that they were not picked to be in a certian group. Which would leave them to think "Oh woe is me. Nobody likes me I think I'll go kill myself". Usally there is not TOO much you can do about it. (Unless you are the one doing the excluding) You must change your feelings. Like I personally HATE red heads and the name Alyssa. But I'm not going to exclude people just b/c of the way they look. Im better tham that. And chances are you are too. ~Stewy~ p.s. I still have competion so if you are looking for cool stuff go to my blog. http://www.stewyiscool.blogspot.com/
I know alot of people are excluded in our school. Some times it it is what the people has done or what is what the person looks like. I know they feel terrible and like they have nowhere to be. There is alot of things we can do about, even if we don't want to be their friend. You could talk to them and be nicer. Jacob Uscinowicz
How would you feel if you got excluded from a group? you would feel awful. And you would walk away with a big ? mark in your brain, a tear in your eye, and white knuckled fist. why did you get excluded? Who knows, the clothes you wear? the people you hang out with? We will never know
People get excluded? Sure they do. People get excluded everyday no matter if you can see it or not. For instance, Mr. Carrol letting us sit at new lunch tables. People are getting excluded left and right. This could be if their not "cool" enough or they don't play on the chess team or varisty football team. There are so many ways people get left out that makes them hurt inside. You may not see it, but you may feel it by the way their getting "rejected" from different "clubs". This could be not letting them be your partner for gym, or anything. You may not know but sometimes things you say or do really impacts of other kids lifes. To stop kids from feeling this way, you should let them hang out with you no matter who they are. Think of them as you. Would you let them say that to you? So if you friend asks you to be your partner with them during gym, and the person that you seem to exclude comes up to you and asks you if you want to be your partner. What do you do? You could tell them you promise next time, or let your friend find a new buddy to hang with, because it's not the end of the world. Isn't it? I mean it's just a partner. People can live with that. So next time this situation happens to you think twice before answering...
Kids get excluded sometimes, it happens everywhere. When it happens to me it feels awful, and I get mad, even if I should not. I think when your discluded, you get mad, thats like your first response, but sometimes other people will notice you "over there all by your self" and INCLUDE you. If this ever happens to someone else, I will try to make them laugh. In the hopes that it will cheer them up. :) Humor is always the best in situations like that.
I already posted, but now I am adding grammer... It will be a little shorter this time.....
Of course there are kids who constantly get excluded! It is completely unfair. If I saw someone excluded, I would walk right up to them and invite them to hang with my buds and I. That would be the right thing to do in this situation. It probably makes them feel like they are doing something wrong, which is COMPLETELY NOT TRUE!!! All people should be included in EVERYTHING.
-Carrie Weaver PS> I told you it would be shorter...
When you are excluded, it makes you feel like you are disliked. When I am discluded (which happens frequently) I feel like I am not fitting in. When I am discluded, I usually walk away from the group and sit somewhere alone, thinking why they would disculd me? Why would they want to hurt me like that? I have had experiences where I walk up to the group of people and they were having an open conversation. Then when I was listening and trying to comment, they would walk away. Another experience I have had is when I was in a conversation with people, I was in the group. I walked away from the person that was me. I felt horrible. So, when they were all alone, I went over to that person and tried to make them feel happy and peppy. It usually works. When you see someone like me, go over and try to make them feel happy and they will eventually get over it. But sometimes, they will never get over that moment of sadness.
Yes I do agree that people get left out. An example is the lunch tables, some kids dont even have their names on a list. This must make them feel terrible!! I can help by just letting them into whatever we are doing. Then my friends can catch on and be nice too.
Yes, there are certain kids that get excluded at school. I think the people that get left out feel like a nobody. They could also feel embarrassed that no one is inviting them in to his/her group.I can do a lot of things to make them feel better. I can include them in everything I do, and also ask them to hang out. Brad Jankowski
Yes I definatley think that there are some people here in our school that are excluded. It probably makes them wonder what they did wrong when all they've been trying to do is "fit in" with everyone else. I know that when I'm excluded from something I don't feel aggression- just sadness and lonliness. To me, I think it was around sixth grade when the groups formed. Everyone finally started to figure out who their true friends were. Although, there were always that three or four kids that didn't "make the cut" for these small friendship circles. They would only sit out and wonder why. As soon as I noticed this I took action to put a stop to it immediatley by asking one of those people to sit with me at lunch. That's really all it takes to get an excluded person to feel wanted by friends who care about them. That one small act of kindness is all it takes to get a wonderful friendship going. =)
Yes people get pushed away (excluded) alot. Take my cousin Gracie for example, (she doesn't go to this school but just go along with it) whenever my little step-sister megan is over my cousins house, (Maggie and Gracie) Me and maggie cleve from Lil Meg and Gracie. Let me explain why, Maggie is 11 and Gracie is 9 and so is Lil Meg. Now i know that Gracie wants to hang out with "the big girls" She feels depressed, agrivaited, and a little bit choler. Every time this happens i try to get her a little treat to keep her from saying mad at me. I'd give something like a good recipe and her mom would make it. Or a piece of candy, like a lollipop or bag of M&M's. If i know i can't repay her that way then I'd try to make her laugh or i'd play any game she would want to the next time i saw her.
iv been exluded sometimes it happens but i HATE it tho i try to help but no one listens. kirsten almost got excluted from our table but we fixed it. it hurts me when that happens i will admit i do it sometimes caus other people do and i know its wrong
People in our school do get excluded by people. I no how it feels to be alone sometimes, but some people want to be alone sometimes. People that don't want to be alone follow people around that have a bunch of friends. I think when people get excluded I think they feel like it them against the rest of the world. They feel like they have no friends. When I see someone looking sad because they are excluded I usually go over and try to make them laugh. It always makes people feel better when they laugh. Maggie Mitchell:)
Sam Scarpello.... I agree! People are getting excluded about the lunch tables every day! If you're going to sit with them for like 40 minutes, then what's the big deal? Sam, the way you address the situation is really smart. Because, quite frankly, when you're being excluded you feel like you need to do everything perfectly so that people will like you. Honestly, though, people should like you for who you are and if they don't, then you should find new 'friends' who won't exclude you. The friends that exclude you aren'ts really friends. Remember that next time so you won't have to be an X-friend.
Yes, alot of kids are excluded in "social groups" or just in general. When I see a person I can instantly tell if they are sad, happy, or mad. But, when I look at people's faces when they get excluded, they just look emotionless. I think they feel lonley, like some-one just punched them in the stomach because usually no words come out of there mouths. I try to help them and include them and ask them what's wrong. And if that doesn't help I get a couple of my friends and we try to make them cheer up with a good laugh. Overall, I think excluding people is a mean thing to do and I wish it wouldn't happen.
I think that this new lunch table thing is a perfect example of exclusion. people are getting excluded left and right. It is probally hurtful to the people who are excluded.Makes them feel like pond scum. ~stwey~
Yes, there are kids that get excluded out of numerous projects and such in my school. Excluding people is very rude and inconsiderate. I know I have been excluded from many things but now more people appreciate me(I hope.)I think the kids that get excluded feel depressed, and lonely. These two words can describe anytime someone is excluded from a group. I think if everyone stood up against the person excluding others and demanded their presence than this world would be a better place. Elizabeth Andress :D (srry i added the question in it last time so i re-wrote it)
Some times i get excluded and i dont feel happy if i see someone excluding some one elase i say why cant they join if they still exclude them i go and help them feel better
I agree w/ myself, Libz, sam c, jamie,maggie, Brad O,megan, mr.red elmo(WHO IS THIS PERSON),jordan hill,brad J,hailey R, hailey M, jimmy ,brett, carrie, dan P, Jacob,sammy, alyssa m, brooke, ian, quinn,kaesy,wyatt,gabe,sarah v, emily G, ryan S, riley b, ty, kyle,alexis, eliasbeth A, delenay, j adrian,randy,sarah M. 100%
In our school I can diffidently tell that people are getting excluded. Some people get excluded because of what they look like I don’t think that matters the only thing that I think matters if they are nice, trustful and they will be a good friend to you as you will back to them. Some people might exclude u because you said something or did something wrong but as Miley Cyrus says” Everybody makes mistakes and nobody’s perfect”, so forget what they had said in the past and don’t keep a grudge against them just because of one slip that they might have had from a bad day. I think this makes kids feel left out because everyone is ignoring them. Also I think that they have the feeling that something is wrong with them so they try to change themselves to fit in even though that might not be really who they are. I think when ever I see some left out to go over and comfort them even though they might not be my friend they still needed someone there to help them relize that people still do care about them.
Sad enough there are kids at our school who get excluded even on a regular basis. I would imagine that they feel lone, hated, and maybe even that the whole world is against them. However I do believe that there is something everyone can do to help because how would you feel if you were excluded?
Hey guys I know Mr.G and Mrs.Montrose normally ask questions about the blog, but I have one that I think people should answer! The day when Mr.Carroll was talking to us about the whole lunch table stuff. How come people are acting the way they are in reality, although they are a totally difference person online, like on the blog?
When someone gets excluded it isn't because a giant group doesn't like them, its only one person. When another person in the group convinces people all the bad things in a person they instantly think they are horrible, thus making them the target to exclude. Its just that one person, the leader, making sure that anyone else that they don't like can't be included.
Jamie- You said, "Excluding is basically bullying in another form. You are leaving someone to feel all alone. You make them feel like a tiny old farmhouse in a big city."
Unfortunately, when people exlude, they're only thinking of themselves, like preserving the reputation they think they have. That's one reason why we feel so alone when we're excluded.
Sarah...You said, "We all could be alot more open twards others and except new friends. And hepl other kids get involved".
This is so true. When someone excludes another person, they're really saying that they're worried that they could lose their popularity status. If you feel good about who you are and who your friends are, and you really believe that they love you for YOU, then you can be nice to anyone you want to with out any worries that it might make you seem less popular. What do you think?
Stwey...You said, "Which would leave them to think "Oh woe is me. Nobody likes me I think I'll go kill myself". Usally there is not TOO much you can do about it. (Unless you are the one doing the excluding) You must change your feelings." What you're talking about is "putting up with it" or "waiting for it to go away".
Eventually, everyone moves on, so exclusion isn't a permanent situation that last one's entire life. But there are kids who can't see beyond tomorrow, who can't take the pain for one more day and wait it out.
Is it fair that someone else or some group of people are allowed to cause so much pain in someone's life?
There is definitely EXCLUDING in our school. But surprisingly there aren't as many people getting EXCLUDED. When anyone gets excluded from a group that i would be in.if they are my friend or not, I would usually leave that group to comfort that person. I HATE being in a group that excludes people. It sucks being excluding I can't IMAGINE but if must be the worst feeling ever. There are many things you can do to prevent doing it but you can never fully stop it sadly!
I am new to this school and i feel that i wasn't excluded at all. I felt I was excepted at all times. I don't feel that there are many people excluded. My new lunch table is good... but there were some people excluded from other lunch tables and i am able to welcome them to my table with my friends.
There is always someone who is excluded. They feel alone, lonely and upset.I think you should go over there and talk to them make them feel like someone cares for them.You don't want to be the person excluded.You could also invite them over to hang out with you and your friends.There is alot you can do. Paige Gigantiello
Exclusion makes kids and even adults feel like they're not important or not wanted. I've been excluded alot of times but not so much recently. The only way there is to stop this is to for people who are witnessing this need to step up and say something, not pretend like it's not happening so great job Jamie for sticking up for your friend.

I think that there are kids that get excluded from school. Kids may feel like they are but sometimes their really not. When i see someone that's excluded i try to make them feel like they are part of a group. So, they don't fell lonely and sad. i agree with hailey moss 100%! ♥ adriana walsh ♥
Delaney and Jamie I argee with you completly. At school kids are definetly discluded. Yes, there is something we can do about this! Say your sitting with your friends in a circle at recees and you see someone just standing down, or sitting there be them sleves. What you can do and should do is to invite them over with you. You could be making that kid's day just by doing that simple thing. Think about them, how they are feeling. They have no one to talk to and they probally feel like thier door is closing. I think the lunch room seats are a perfect idea too. Some kids may want to sit with thier best friends, but others have taken that spot or didn't want you to sit there, or there wasen't enough room. Discluding people is definetly something I see in school. Emily Metzger (:
Their are people who get constantly excluded. People who are constantly excluded would feel really upset. If I was that person who was constantly excluded I would be so mad and sad. People sometimes like to be alone maybe because they had a fight with one of their best friends. If I could do anything to help that person I would. I would ask them to come over my house or I would sit with him/her at lunch if they were feeling upset. That's what I would do if someone was constantly excluded. Michael Bresan
yes, i do think people get excluded at school. i think they feel bad about themselves because they feel like no one likes them. but that isn't true people are just so caught up in what is going on and forget about those people they exclude. if i see someone that looks alone or excluded i try to go over and talk to them so they don't feel alone. kaylee carlin
Yes, i do think there are kids in this school who get excluded. Although it may not happen often their is still that time that it does. I feel to make it not happen you could say no its cool with me if he hangs out with us or hey that wasnt cool what you just said to him. This way the people who are being excluded wont be and the person who was doing the excluding will feel bad.
I know for a FACT that kids in this school get excluded, and take it from a kid from experience. IT'S NOT FUN. I'll admitt sometimes I do push people away when I just want to talk to one person. I dont know what I could do... :/
There are a ton of kids that get excluded. Let me say this for eveyone. IF YOU ARE GETTING EXCLUDED TELL SOMEONE NOW. Not tommorrow NOW. A friend, parent, a stuffed animal(JK):). Its not good and you should tell somebody so that this person or PEOPLE don't do it to u again. Dan Pavlik (PAV PAV)
I don't think people are excluded. If there was, I would make that person or people feel included. Cause I know if I was excluded, I would feel terrible. If you are getting excluded and no one is included you, you should imedietly tell a parent, teacher, or friend. Pierce(Little P)
There are kids in this school that excluded. And I know that it IS NOT FUN. It makes you feel like a piece of GARBAGE. I also agree with Jordon. When PEOPLE write on here they know the right thing to say, but they dont do it in school. Guys get exculed because they dont play sports as well as other dudes. I don't think that's fair. When we play at school its only a game so whats the difference who plays, but some dudes act like you gotta be All-Star or a MVP or something like that. If I see someone who dose not have anyone to be with I would try to include them.
Yes, I feel there are kids at school who get excluded. I think it probably makes them feel alone, unwanted, or like there doing something wrong. It makes them mad. There are a ton of things you could do about. If you notice it happening, you should DEFINENTLY include that person. Or say to the people excluding them, "Hey guys, what about *so in so*?" or "Hey *so in so* want to join us?" Its not right. No matter how different someone is, you should not leave them out. Excluding is basically bullying in another form. You are leaving someone to feel all alone. You make them feel like a tiny old farmhouse in a big city. They're out there all alone, feeling like they don't belong. Once last year I experienced a sistuation where at the lunch table, a group of girls were talking about who would sit at their table the next day. They didn't include my one friend's name, and the next day they told her to get up when she sat with us. I said, "You can't do that. She sat there first and has the right to stay. You can't leave her out." It is wrong to exclude someone. If you do that, you ARE a BuLLY.
ReplyDeleteJamie Cesanek
At our school I dont think kids get excluded I think they feel excluded. What I mean by that is maybe some kids feel excluded because they are not good at a sport and everyone is talking about it. Well in that case they are not really getting excluded they just get a vibe that they are not welcome in that area at that time. I know from personal experiance that it doesnt feel good. infact it feels like you are alone on a standead island with none to talk to. And at first you think it is your fault thaey are ot taking to you,but then you realize that the problem is the people making you feel bad. Most of the time the person making you feel bad is actually one of your friends. We all could be alot more open twards others and except new friends. And hepl other kids get involved.
ReplyDelete~Sarah Morris~
Yes, I feel that there are kids that are excluded. Luckily i'm not excluded most of the time. I think that it makes these kids feel horable and lonely. There isn't really anything i can do about it because it normally isnt people in my friend group and so i don't normally hangout with them because maybe i don't have anything in common with them or i am just not friends with them.
ReplyDeleteHailey Moss 7-4
I dont think that people get excluded because I think everyone has there own friends. Like we already went through popularity and I think we came to a conclusiom that everyone has friends. Sometimes though people want to expand their friendship level and try new friends. They might not want that to happen so they may say no. I think if anything happens then that will
ReplyDeleteI do not think that people are constantly excluded. But if there were, I believe they would feel aweful. People that don't get included would feel like a dumptruck. If there was anything I could do I would. For example I would include them in anything they want and maybee I would invite them to hang out.

I think that hailey was a little extreme because you can help them but i do agree with her to an certain level.

ReplyDeleteJoe Funk {FUNK IN THE TRUNK}
Yes I do believe that there are kids that are excluded a lot here at school. I don't think it makes them feel good. It makes them feel the oppisite. When your excluded you feel terrible and left out. This makes school not a fun experience when your not enjoying it. What we could do about it is try to include people when they would like to be involved in an activity. Make sure that everyone is included so there are no tears and sorrowness.

Are there kids here at school who get constantly excluded? How do you think that makes them feel? Is there Yes, there are kids that get excluded out of numerous projects and such in my school. Excluding people is very rude and inconsiderate. I know I have been excluded from many things but now more people appreciate me(I hope.)I think the kids that get excluded feel depressed, and lonely. These two words can describe anytime someone is excluded from a group. I think if everyone stood up against the person excluding others and demanded their presence than this world would be a better place.

In our school, I do think there are kids who are excluded from stuff. In my opinion I think that they feel upset and that they might not fit in with other. Thats not fair to them everyone should be included in everything no one should be left out! To change this we could try to reach out to them and say "hey want to hang with us?" or "hey you should come too," so that they know they fit in. People should try and notice the small things like people sitting out or people that seem down. If we do notice those things we can reach out with to them.
ReplyDeleteYes, there are possibly some kids that are excluded. I see some kids sit at tables alone. I"m thankful that im not excluded. I feel so bad for the lonely people. I think it makes them feel upset. They could constantly cry everyday withpout no one knowing. You could join them in your group or sit next to them at lunch. You can still do this stuff even though your not there friends!

I think there are some people who exclude some other people. Like they just want to be part of their friends group and don't want to have new people coming into their group. I mean there are some kids in school that don't have any friends. And there are some who have so many but don't want any "outsiders" to join in their group of friends. To me i think thats just because they think that their so much better than every one else. Well their not. We're all equal in this school and we should be friends with who ever we want. If your be excluded from a group of friends or maybe even your group of friends, talk it over with those people and may be you can think of something and work it out.
ReplyDelete~Sarah Vosler :)
Yes there are people in at our school that are excluded. We could help those people by including them like playing at recess or when teachers say "partner up", you could partner with them. People that are excluded feel like they don't fit in and feel unwanted. -Michael Romanchak
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely joey -Michael Romanchak
ReplyDeleteThere aren't many, but I feel that there are definitely some people who seem to be constantly excluded. I know that being excluded always gives me an awful feeling in the pit of my stomach. Oddly enough, being ignored and excluded makes me feel the same way I feel when I am sick. I feel bad. Sad. Sore. I don't like it at all, and I don't know anyone who ENJOYS being ignored. If you are one of those few people that actually likes to be excluded, then you should head over to the CRAZY doctor. Crazy is honestly what you ae if being ignored and left alone gives you good feeling inside. There are many things that the innocent bystander could do. DONT BE THAT!! INTRFERE! Go over to the person who is standing all alone at recess looking off into the distance thinking, "What did I do to diserve this?"! :( For all you know, this person could be a lot of fun and super nice! I know that if I saw someone by themself at luch or recess I owuld invite them to do whatever I was doing. That is what I would want someone to do for me!! So to sum it all up, being excluded from anything STINKS and you should help anyoe that that happens to. For all you know, they could be there for you when you need someone the most!!!

Yes, I do think people are excluded at IMMS. What I think is sad is that when someone is excluded, the people that this person is being excluded from, might not even think they are being excluded! This would make people feel extremley sad! I could help by comforting them by talking to them. Or maybe even hanging out with them! Not to get off topic put if you think about it all of these blogs can bring people closer. Everyone of them!!! No matter if it's on the computer or in real life. These blogs can show a difference in someone. It can give you new friends and even more! If you react to what the blog says you will be changed!

I think people get excluded a lot. They want to be apart of agroup but they just can't. Sometimes for the wrong reasons. Maybe that person is cool but the group won't let them in because of the close they wear. That's wrong! It could also be for the right reasons though. I think it's ok to exclude someone if they're a jerk or do drugs. Then they deserve it.

Yes, I do think that there are some kids getting constantly excluded out of a lot of games and groups, like basketball, or a group to study with. Sometimes, I'll see someone sitting alone at a lunch table, but then someone will ask that person to join them in something. There are getting people getting excluded but not a lot. But if someone does get excluded, they'll feel pretty bad about themselves. I think if there actually is someone getting excluded A LOT, we should definitely do something about it, like include them in something.

I think that there are many people who get discluded from a group. I think this makes them feel as if there not important or just part of the background. There are some people who either think that they are so cool that they can blow off the people that they may not usually hang out with or just be rude and ignor them all together. Something that people can do about it is they can include the people that are usually discluded (and when I say that I don't mean by making fun of them).

Of course, people get excluded in our school. Not only in our school i think this happens ebery where. I think these people feel terrible on the inside but try to hide it. They could also get defensive and say something mean back because they feel like nobody excepts them. When I see this it makes me feel discusted with the people who exclude them and make them feel bad. Almost always I say something to make them feel better and like they belong.
ReplyDeleteAt our school i think kids get excluded. i think some people think that other people shouldent be with them or that they arnt allowed to be there. it is probably hard for people that are excluded. I think you could welcome them to your friends and help them out if that ever happens.

I mean that if your friends are in a group and you try to get their attention but they annoy you. that can be really depressing. then, they glance at you and they dont even ask whats wrong. i think that can happen to everybody. yes, we can do something to prevent this excluding we speak of. like, how about if you see a person like lonely and bored but unwelcomed. go over to that person and ask whats wrong, talk to them and make them feel welcomed. so, they kinda pick up what your putting down.

I agree with you jamie! Excluding is a bully in another form. If your being excluded then you should do something about it. You shouldn't just stand there and take it. i mean you have feelings to. It's not like your someone who in school feels like you can't do anything cause your to scared of to weak, but out of school your just like anyone else. If you see someone being excluded then you should do something about it. Like I said you also have feelings. Your not a little weak kid who takes everything that happens to you. If your being excluded from a lunch table or a group of friends, do something about it.

I do believe that people are excluded. But, some people deserve it. Then, sometimes they don't. Bad things happen to good people in life. I think it makes them feel bad on the inside.

Are there kids in our school that get excluded? I believe there are. It may because they don’t play sports or aren’t “cool” in everyone else’s eyes. I’m sure they feel lonely and not very confident about themselves. It’s not usually their fault, just other kids who think it makes them more popular to be mean and leave out people. Of course there are things I can do. The major thing is just to be nice and try my hardest to include them. Just something as simple as a “Hey, how’s it going?” can brighten peoples day. Even better you could invite them to hang out at recess or be your partner on a project.

Yes,I do feel people get excluded a lot mostly because people say their not COOL. But for the most part because they don't do sports, or because they are not very good at them. Also because the people who like to play sports think they have nothing in common with people who do not. AND THAT MAKES NO SENSE! Just because that person does not do sports or might not like them does not mean that he/she does not have anything in common with that person. And sometimes when the say.. popular people are rude and make remarks at the people who are called unpopular, maybe that makes them nervous and won't want to hang out with those popular or higher class people. So maybe if the higher class people might realize that hanging out with just the people who play sports is not the way to go. Then maybe a little bit of exclusion will go away.And maybe reminding ourselves if we were excluded how would we feel.... because exclusion sometimes comes from popularity.

You can really make a diffrence in someones life if you just ask them if they want to hang out after school or sit at your lunch table whatever makes you feel that you did something right.

I really enjoy reading all of these posts. I always read every single one because I like to know people's opinons on popularity, parents, etc. and their experience with these problems. By reading all the posts I learn what some people think about others or how somethings can be improved in our school. Some of these posts are very inspiring and and have a lot of thought into them. Some of the post make me say "Hey, maybe I should do that more" or "I should be more grateful for what I have because some people take that for granite and some people don't have what I have". When Alexis said she feels sad for these excluded people, well it's very sad. Everyone is equal in this world and diserves the love and respect that they truely diserve. Some of the nicest people in the world are poor and are suffering right now, they diserve the same as we have but no helps them or gives to them. WE ARE ALL EQUAL AND NO ONE DISERVES TO BE EXCLUDED!!! Anyway Great posts everyone, I love this blog. It's great and I feel like I can express my feelings more on here then in the real world. :)

Yes, I do think that some kids at our school get excluded. I feel really bad for them. You would be sitting there with all your friends having a wonderful time and then look over to see that one person sitting there all alone. I think that it makes them for less important and very sad. There's a couple of ways that u could do about it. You could invite that person to your table, maybe try to make friends with them, or go and sit with them one day during lunch so they're not so lonely!

Hey Alexis, I totally agree with you completely. There are some people that you see at lunch that sit there all alone.

I think that there are some people at IMMS that get excluded, but I don't think that they are contently excluded. When kids are excluded, they feel bad, lonely, or feel like they are doing something wrong. I completely agree with Ana. When you exclude someone, its like bullying them! Sometimes, when people exclude others, they don't even realize it, although, it makes the person who is excluded can feel bad or lonely. I think that when you see someone who is alone, they could be excluded from others, so, what you can do is go talk to them and maybe invite them to play with you and your friends. If people did this, them maybe, there would be no exclusion at all at IMMS.

Oh yes. There are alot of kids that get excluded.They get excluded b/c they have dark skin or red hair. Wehter or not they have started puberty. Or if they are too fat or too skinny nobody wants to be with them. Some try to hang out with the totally cool ,not excluded, awosome people. But they say no. It probally makes the person feel crapy that they were not picked to be in a certian group. Which would leave them to think "Oh woe is me. Nobody likes me I think I'll go kill myself". Usally there is not TOO much you can do about it. (Unless you are the one doing the excluding) You must change your feelings. Like I personally HATE red heads and the name Alyssa. But I'm not going to exclude people just b/c of the way they look. Im better tham that. And chances are you are too.

How would you feel if you got excluded from a group? you would feel awful. And you would walk away with a big ? mark in your brain, a tear in your eye, and white knuckled fist. why did you get excluded? Who knows, the clothes you wear? the people you hang out with? We will never know
ReplyDeletePeople get excluded? Sure they do. People get excluded everyday no matter if you can see it or not. For instance, Mr. Carrol letting us sit at new lunch tables. People are getting excluded left and right. This could be if their not "cool" enough or they don't play on the chess team or varisty football team. There are so many ways people get left out that makes them hurt inside. You may not see it, but you may feel it by the way their getting "rejected" from different "clubs". This could be not letting them be your partner for gym, or anything. You may not know but sometimes things you say or do really impacts of other kids lifes. To stop kids from feeling this way, you should let them hang out with you no matter who they are. Think of them as you. Would you let them say that to you? So if you friend asks you to be your partner with them during gym, and the person that you seem to exclude comes up to you and asks you if you want to be your partner. What do you do? You could tell them you promise next time, or let your friend find a new buddy to hang with, because it's not the end of the world. Isn't it? I mean it's just a partner. People can live with that. So next time this situation happens to you think twice before answering...
ReplyDelete****Sammy Scarpello**** :)
Kids get excluded sometimes, it happens everywhere. When it happens to me it feels awful, and I get mad, even if I should not. I think when your discluded, you get mad, thats like your first response, but sometimes other people will notice you "over there all by your self" and INCLUDE you. If this ever happens to someone else, I will try to make them laugh. In the hopes that it will cheer them up. :) Humor is always the best in situations like that.

I already posted, but now I am adding grammer... It will be a little shorter this time.....
ReplyDeleteOf course there are kids who constantly get excluded! It is completely unfair. If I saw someone excluded, I would walk right up to them and invite them to hang with my buds and I. That would be the right thing to do in this situation. It probably makes them feel like they are doing something wrong, which is COMPLETELY NOT TRUE!!! All people should be included in EVERYTHING.
-Carrie Weaver
PS> I told you it would be shorter...
When you are excluded, it makes you feel like you are disliked. When I am discluded (which happens frequently) I feel like I am not fitting in. When I am discluded, I usually walk away from the group and sit somewhere alone, thinking why they would disculd me? Why would they want to hurt me like that? I have had experiences where I walk up to the group of people and they were having an open conversation. Then when I was listening and trying to comment, they would walk away. Another experience I have had is when I was in a conversation with people, I was in the group. I walked away from the person that was me. I felt horrible. So, when they were all alone, I went over to that person and tried to make them feel happy and peppy. It usually works. When you see someone like me, go over and try to make them feel happy and they will eventually get over it. But sometimes, they will never get over that moment of sadness.
ReplyDeleteYes I do agree that people get left out. An example is the lunch tables, some kids dont even have their names on a list. This must make them feel terrible!! I can help by just letting them into whatever we are doing. Then my friends can catch on and be nice too.

Yes I definatley think that there are some people here in our school that are excluded. It probably makes them wonder what they did wrong when all they've been trying to do is "fit in" with everyone else. I know that when I'm excluded from something I don't feel aggression- just sadness and lonliness. To me, I think it was around sixth grade when the groups formed. Everyone finally started to figure out who their true friends were. Although, there were always that three or four kids that didn't "make the cut" for these small friendship circles. They would only sit out and wonder why. As soon as I noticed this I took action to put a stop to it immediatley by asking one of those people to sit with me at lunch. That's really all it takes to get an excluded person to feel wanted by friends who care about them. That one small act of kindness is all it takes to get a wonderful friendship going. =)

Yes people get pushed away (excluded) alot. Take my cousin Gracie for example, (she doesn't go to this school but just go along with it) whenever my little step-sister megan is over my cousins house, (Maggie and Gracie) Me and maggie cleve from Lil Meg and Gracie. Let me explain why, Maggie is 11 and Gracie is 9 and so is Lil Meg. Now i know that Gracie wants to hang out with "the big girls" She feels depressed, agrivaited, and a little bit choler. Every time this happens i try to get her a little treat to keep her from saying mad at me. I'd give something like a good recipe and her mom would make it. Or a piece of candy, like a lollipop or bag of M&M's. If i know i can't repay her that way then I'd try to make her laugh or i'd play any game she would want to the next time i saw her.

People that don't want to be alone follow people around that have a bunch of friends. I think when people get excluded I think they feel like it them against the rest of the world. They feel like they have no friends. When I see someone looking sad because they are excluded I usually go over and try to make them laugh. It always makes people feel better when they laugh.

Sam Scarpello.... I agree! People are getting excluded about the lunch tables every day! If you're going to sit with them for like 40 minutes, then what's the big deal? Sam, the way you address the situation is really smart. Because, quite frankly, when you're being excluded you feel like you need to do everything perfectly so that people will like you. Honestly, though, people should like you for who you are and if they don't, then you should find new 'friends' who won't exclude you. The friends that exclude you aren'ts really friends.

ReplyDeleteEven though you may not be friends with them doesn't mean you shouldn't try to include them in stuff when they are left.

Yes, alot of kids are excluded in "social groups" or just in general. When I see a person I can instantly tell if they are sad, happy, or mad. But, when I look at people's faces when they get excluded, they just look emotionless. I think they feel lonley, like some-one just punched them in the stomach because usually no words come out of there mouths. I try to help them and include them and ask them what's wrong. And if that doesn't help I get a couple of my friends and we try to make them cheer up with a good laugh. Overall, I think excluding people is a mean thing to do and I wish it wouldn't happen.

I think that this new lunch table thing is a perfect example of exclusion. people are getting excluded left and right. It is probally hurtful to the people who are excluded.Makes them feel like pond scum.

Yes, there are kids that get excluded out of numerous projects and such in my school. Excluding people is very rude and inconsiderate. I know I have been excluded from many things but now more people appreciate me(I hope.)I think the kids that get excluded feel depressed, and lonely. These two words can describe anytime someone is excluded from a group. I think if everyone stood up against the person excluding others and demanded their presence than this world would be a better place.

In our school I can diffidently tell that people are getting excluded. Some people get excluded because of what they look like I don’t think that matters the only thing that I think matters if they are nice, trustful and they will be a good friend to you as you will back to them. Some people might exclude u because you said something or did something wrong but as Miley Cyrus says” Everybody makes mistakes and nobody’s perfect”, so forget what they had said in the past and don’t keep a grudge against them just because of one slip that they might have had from a bad day. I think this makes kids feel left out because everyone is ignoring them. Also I think that they have the feeling that something is wrong with them so they try to change themselves to fit in even though that might not be really who they are. I think when ever I see some left out to go over and comfort them even though they might not be my friend they still needed someone there to help them relize that people still do care about them.
ReplyDelete-Carissa Novelli
Sad enough there are kids at our school who get excluded even on a regular basis. I would imagine that they feel lone, hated, and maybe even that the whole world is against them. However I do believe that there is something everyone can do to help because how would you feel if you were excluded?
ReplyDeleteMadison Richards
I agree with Libs it’s really cruel to exclude people. We really shouldn’t because everyone has feelings.

Hey guys I know Mr.G and Mrs.Montrose normally ask questions about the blog, but I have one that I think people should answer! The day when Mr.Carroll was talking to us about the whole lunch table stuff. How come people are acting the way they are in reality, although they are a totally difference person online, like on the blog?
ReplyDelete<3Jordan W.<3
P.S.-Sorry I thought I share what I was thinking!
When someone gets excluded it isn't because a giant group doesn't like them, its only one person. When another person in the group convinces people all the bad things in a person they instantly think they are horrible, thus making them the target to exclude. Its just that one person, the leader, making sure that anyone else that they don't like can't be included.

Jamie- You said, "Excluding is basically bullying in another form. You are leaving someone to feel all alone. You make them feel like a tiny old farmhouse in a big city."
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, when people exlude, they're only thinking of themselves, like preserving the reputation they think they have. That's one reason why we feel so alone when we're excluded.
Sarah...You said, "We all could be alot more open twards others and except new friends. And hepl other kids get involved".
ReplyDeleteThis is so true. When someone excludes another person, they're really saying that they're worried that they could lose their popularity status. If you feel good about who you are and who your friends are, and you really believe that they love you for YOU, then you can be nice to anyone you want to with out any worries that it might make you seem less popular. What do you think?

ReplyDeleteHailey Moss...You said, "There isn't really anything i can do about it ...maybe i don't have anything in common with them".
ReplyDeleteBut, aren't you both human? Is that not common enough? Are we each more different or more the same?
Stewy...I'm worried about youyr comment about Alyssa...What was your intent?
ReplyDeleteStwey...You said, "Which would leave them to think "Oh woe is me. Nobody likes me I think I'll go kill myself". Usally there is not TOO much you can do about it. (Unless you are the one doing the excluding) You must change your feelings."
ReplyDeleteWhat you're talking about is "putting up with it" or "waiting for it to go away".
Eventually, everyone moves on, so exclusion isn't a permanent situation that last one's entire life. But there are kids who can't see beyond tomorrow, who can't take the pain for one more day and wait it out.
Is it fair that someone else or some group of people are allowed to cause so much pain in someone's life?
There is definitely EXCLUDING in our school. But surprisingly there aren't as many people getting EXCLUDED. When anyone gets excluded from a group that i would be in.if they are my friend or not, I would usually leave that group to comfort that person. I HATE being in a group that excludes people. It sucks being excluding I can't IMAGINE but if must be the worst feeling ever. There are many things you can do to prevent doing it but you can never fully stop it sadly!

Talk about your experience with the new luch situation. (Thanks Styewy for the great conversation topic!)
ReplyDeleteI am new to this school and i feel that i wasn't excluded at all. I felt I was excepted at all times. I don't feel that there are many people excluded. My new lunch table is good... but there were some people excluded from other lunch tables and i am able to welcome them to my table with my friends.
ReplyDeleteKatie Calvert
There is always someone who is excluded. They feel alone, lonely and upset.I think you should go over there and talk to them make them feel like someone cares for them.You don't want to be the person excluded.You could also invite them over to hang out with you and your friends.There is alot you can do.

ReplyDeleteSorry Mrs. M,
ReplyDeleteI was not very clear. What I meant was that the NAME Alyssa in general irks me.

(Sorry if I offended you Alyssa Guy or Matchet)
Exclusion makes kids and even adults feel like they're not important or not wanted. I've been excluded alot of times but not so much recently. The only way there is to stop this is to for people who are witnessing this need to step up and say something, not pretend like it's not happening so great job Jamie for sticking up for your friend.

I think that there are kids that get excluded from school. Kids may feel like they are but sometimes their really not. When i see someone that's excluded i try to make them feel like they are part of a group. So, they don't fell lonely and sad. i agree with hailey moss 100%!
ReplyDelete♥ adriana walsh ♥
Delaney and Jamie I argee with you completly. At school kids are definetly discluded. Yes, there is something we can do about this! Say your sitting with your friends in a circle at recees and you see someone just standing down, or sitting there be them sleves. What you can do and should do is to invite them over with you. You could be making that kid's day just by doing that simple thing. Think about them, how they are feeling. They have no one to talk to and they probally feel like thier door is closing. I think the lunch room seats are a perfect idea too. Some kids may want to sit with thier best friends, but others have taken that spot or didn't want you to sit there, or there wasen't enough room. Discluding people is definetly something I see in school.
ReplyDeleteEmily Metzger (:
Their are people who get constantly excluded. People who are constantly excluded would feel really upset. If I was that person who was constantly excluded I would be so mad and sad. People sometimes like to be alone maybe because they had a fight with one of their best friends. If I could do anything to help that person I would. I would ask them to come over my house or I would sit with him/her at lunch if they were feeling upset. That's what I would do if someone was constantly excluded.

yes, i do think people get excluded at school. i think they feel bad about themselves because they feel like no one likes them. but that isn't true people are just so caught up in what is going on and forget about those people they exclude. if i see someone that looks alone or excluded i try to go over and talk to them so they don't feel alone.

Yes, i do think there are kids in this school who get excluded. Although it may not happen often their is still that time that it does. I feel to make it not happen you could say no its cool with me if he hangs out with us or hey that wasnt cool what you just said to him. This way the people who are being excluded wont be and the person who was doing the excluding will feel bad.

I know for a FACT that kids in this school get excluded, and take it from a kid from experience. IT'S NOT FUN. I'll admitt sometimes I do push people away when I just want to talk to one person. I dont know what I could do... :/

P.S. sorry it's late <:/
There are a ton of kids that get excluded. Let me say this for eveyone. IF YOU ARE GETTING EXCLUDED TELL SOMEONE NOW. Not tommorrow NOW. A friend, parent, a stuffed animal(JK):). Its not good and you should tell somebody so that this person or PEOPLE don't do it to u again.
ReplyDeleteDan Pavlik (PAV PAV)
I don't think people are excluded. If there was, I would make that person or people feel included. Cause I know if I was excluded, I would feel terrible. If you are getting excluded and no one is included you, you should imedietly tell a parent, teacher, or friend.
ReplyDeletePierce(Little P)
There are kids in this school that excluded. And I know that it IS NOT FUN. It makes you feel like a piece of GARBAGE. I also agree with Jordon. When PEOPLE write on here they know the right thing to say, but they dont do it in school. Guys get exculed because they dont play sports as well as other dudes. I don't think that's fair. When we play at school its only a game so whats the difference who plays, but some dudes act like you gotta be All-Star or a MVP or something like that. If I see someone who dose not have anyone to be with I would try to include them.
