Bullying Campaign Experience

During this experience I have discovered that time management is very important. I have also gained the skill of putting a video together on movie maker and being able to add music along with cutting pieces of the video out. This experience has been one that will benefit me in the future and one that will help me in further education. During the process of making this video and getting the information needed it has been hard and fun at the same time. I have found that people are very secure with what they tell others about themselves and are also very afraid of letting others know their faults. It is always easier for other to say ‘I have been a healer’ as supposed to them saying ‘I was bullied because I am fat’. I have interviewed numerous people about perpetrators, victims, bystanders and healers and from these interviews most people have identified themselves as healers because it is the easiest to say. Throughout the course of gaining information I would say that the hardest thing to do has been to get people to participate. It has been a challenge for me to persuade adults and teenagers to share with me some of the experiences with bullying that they have faced but with that comes time. It takes people time to overcome the discomfort of sharing that.

I can say that I have gained a lot of skills from developing this campaign and I know that it will benefit me. I have 1 more week to complete the campaign fully and do the best I can. It has been a pleasure to interview different people and hear their views on what bullying means to them.
