Mrs. H asked us to answer these questions about The Wave and post them on our blogs.

Laurie has noticed that non-wave members are being bullied into The Wave.

Have you ever been forced to join something against your will?
I don’t think I’ve ever been forced into anything I didn’t want to. I guess I just don’t remember because it is very common that people DO get forced into something that they don’t feel comfortable doing, or that they are not interested in. Or is it just me who thinks that?

How should we behave if we see someone being taunted or bullied by a group of people?
It depends on what kind of person you are. You can either go directly and tell the bullies to stop and risk being bullied yourself, or you can go to a teacher or a councelor and tell them what is going on and they will do something about it. It can often be dangerous to act yourself, because the bullies might target YOU instead, especially if you start defending the person being bullied by bullying back. I guess I just answered the last question too; Should we try not to get involved or should we intervene? What is your opinion on these topics?
