is the problem?

The problem is that someone
started a chatroom. That’s ok but talking about people in
a bad way is really bad and they should not have different code
names. Drew

Jennifer found a new website and
wants Maria to go on the website while she's playing video games.

The problem is that Jennifer wants to
go on a website and Maria doesn't want to. Megan
I think the problem is that Jennifer
is going on a site that people were asking about who they think
is the dumbest person of the week. Shania
I
think Jennifer is a mean friend to Chris. I think Maria was trying
to say that it is not nice to do that. Sabrina

The problem is that two kids get on a
website and it talks about other people and stuff that wasn't even
true and one of their friends is on there but they go on anyway.

I think the problem is that Keisha
is giving a site to Jennifer that people talk about other people
and they say who is the dumbest person of the week. Jennifer said
to Maria that the dumbest person of the week is one of her friends.
Maria says that it's not right because Chris is one of Maria's friends.
Maria tries to tell Jennifer that she doesn't want to do that because
she would feel bad if people talk bad stuff about her. Thalia.

Elementary School • Grade 5 • Newton, North Carolina:
Maria does not want to get on the
website any more because all they do is talk about people.
Angelica
I think the problem is Maria is mad that
somebody said something about her friend and she didn't like it.

The problem is that Keisha called and told
Jennifer to go onto a website. If Kesiha hadn't called and Jennifer
hadn't wanted to go on the problem wouldn't have started. Jennifer
I think the problem is that it was a
bad rumor. Isaiah

I would find out if it was a rumor
because rumors are bad and then you can tell a teacher or a parent
what is going on. Chat rooms are bad if you say bad stuff about
your friend. It is really bad to do that and if I was the one that
was talking bad about my friend on the computer I would said that
I did it and it is very, very, very bad.
Dakota
I think that they should not of ever
started a rumor about Chris and it was really mean to say that about
someone else and to have a chat room for that. Drew
I think that they should not do that
game because it would hurt your feelings if they saw their name
for being the dumbest person I wouldn't do that because what if
they wrote that about you, how would you feel? Would you feel good
or bad? I think that the website should not ever been started because
I don't think it should be allowed because it is talking about rumors.

I think the problem is that Maria is offended
that they are insulting her friend. Bryan

Startown
Elementary School • Grade 5 • Newton, North Carolina:
The problem is that it is mean to
do this to a friend and when they could find out who did it and
they might not be your friend. Allison
I think
that if Maria joins and her friend Chris found out Chris will be
mad at her and they will not be friends anymore. Travis
I think
that Keisha had started the problem because they wouldn't of known
that the website even exists. So Keisha shouldn't of called them
because that stuff can hurt someone's feelings. And what if Chris
finds out he had gotten nominated as being the dumbest person of
the week? That would totally hurt his feelings and if Keisha calls
more people maybe even the whole class might know or the whole school.

A joke
is something that makes people laugh and saying something about
someone that is not true is hurtful. Anita
What
could Maria have done differenty in this situation?
02-16-07:
Bowman
School • Grade 5 • Lexington, Massachusetts:
Maria
could have said that it's not good to make fun of other people whether
it is true or not. John

Corners School • Grade 4/5 • Greenfield, Massachusetts:
I feel
that Maria could have said this isn't fair to them talking about
other kids. They could have told the principal of their school and
also if this was Maria's house Maria could say go to your house
and go on the website there. Nicole
I think that Maria could have said this is mean no one should do
this. If people believe all of this gossip it could effect someone’s
life and even my friend Chris’ life. Jack

I think
the solution could of been that Maria could of said that it wasn't
right to talk about someone else. Shania

I
think that Maria should have told an adult and the adult could have
blocked the site, or contacted someone that could stop the site.
Casey L. and Monica
Would
it make a difference if they were talking about people they didn't
know?

Corners School • Grade 4/5 • Greenfield, Massachusetts:
I think it would be really bad to talk
about other people because they don't actually know if the people
actually did those things. Jake
I think it wouldn't really be nice to
say something about someone they don't know, therefore even if it
did happen you don't know and you can mess something up.

School • Grade 5 • Lexington, Massachusetts:
I don't
think it is a very sensible thing to be doing. It could hurt people's
feelings. You won't know who is writing the stuff. Sam
02-16-07:
Startown
Elementary School • Grade 5 • Newton, North Carolina:
I think that it is mean that they are talking
about different people and it is really mean that they nominated
Chris for the dumbest when it was not true at all and I think that
the website should of not been ever started. Drew
What could Chris do about this situation?

P.S.
46 • Grade 5 • Bronx, New York:
Chris
can say that it's not true and that it's hurtful to have someone
talk about you, especially on the Internet. Diabolique
What
could any of the kids do to make the situation better?
02-16-07:
Cyrus
Pierce Middle School • Grade 6 • Nantucket, Massachusetts:
I think
that Jennifer could have told Keisha that it isn’t right to
go onto those kinds of sites because if the person who got made
fun of went on the site their feelings may get hurt. Casey

I
think someone should go to the website's creator and tell them that
it is not good to do it. Matt
02-17-07:
Four
Corners School • Grade 4/5 • Greenfield, Massachusetts:
I
think that Maria should use Jeniffer's cell phone to call Kris
and tell her that people are making fun of her. Then Kris and
Maria should sign on and tell the room to stop talking about Kris.
Also Maria should stand up for herself.
