What a great presentation by Kevin who reminded us so much more than how to paint our fish. He reminded us of some of the things that are important in life, such as love, respect, honour, humility,and empathy. POST to be the first to remember the missing two. Here are some action shots from today; Pink/red t-shirt day- grade 7s against bullying! We are getting fit by skipping. POST your opinions of our question of the day. Talk to each other. This should be a good debate because the vote was split in 1/2 yes/no. Homework:
Practice for our Slam poetry presentations Finish grammar sheets Grade 7s -see your teacher's site Grade 6s correct your measurement quiz (If you received 7 or 8 you are finishing the 'draw an angle' practice) Practice the game I put on the site last week to practice your measuring...it really helps!! Raffle tickets must be returned tomorrow Field trip notices are due tomorrow. We still need drivers:)

My opinion is people should not be saying death threats, whether they are joking or not. The other person could take that seriously.

I agree with you that the person can take the threat seriously but i think sometimes it depends on the person if they care or not.

Personally, I've never really been threatened, but I do get how it can be pretty serious. To me though, as long as it is in joke form, the threats are not really a serious thing. You however, should probably not threaten anyone. Serious or not.

I think it depends on the person your saying the threats to, they can take it as a joke or seriously. Well even though your saying the threat as a joke you shouldn't be threatening people.

Courage and wisdom. I think that saying death threats is not okay. Even if you may be joking, some people may take it seriously. Sometime under certain terms if can no okay, because if you are very obviously playing around and laughing.

I 100% agree with you. I don't think someone would actually go and do it unless under certain circumstances. If it was a teenager who was bullied alot in high school yeah, it might make them think that people actually want them to die. It isn't a very funny topic to talk about but you do have a point. I don't think people take it that serious to go and actually kill themselves but I could see that happening to people who are very troubled by bullies.

Quote of the day: "The greatest fear of many is failure. Don't let failure define you. When you fail and succeed people will look at you will look at you will honor. Because you as the amazing person you are didn't stop trying after failure. You kept trying and never gave up until satisfied with success." ~Tyler Oakley (me). I personally think that death threats seriously or joking are bad. People can take them as you are being serious and you can make them depressed with your words. Imagine how you would feel if someone said "go kill yourself". You would probably feel bad. Do unto others as you would like to be treated.

Humble and courage. I think that if one person threats a person or say "go kill yourself", if that was meant seriously than it can really hurt the person, though if the person who got called that; they might not care at all. But if someone who would say that to an innocent person, or me I would take it seriously. Literally, I would probally cry in tears.

Courage and wisdom. I thought todays question was amazing. My opinion is you should never say that to anyone because if someone thought you were serious than it could turn out really bad. Some people would not mind but someone completely innocent could take it the wrong way. Great question for today.

Even if someones just joking like between friends, their parents could over hear and take it litterly. The persons friend could end up going to jail just because the parent took it the wrong way. So I think saying death threats is bad even if your just joking.

I think it's not ok to joke about death threats because its can be taken seriously if you walk up to someone you don't know and joke about death threats.

I think death threats are not ok unless it's a joke and even so make sure you know the person your joking with understands your actually joking.

I'm personally fine with death threats. I mean they're not a very good thing as someone could take it the wrong way (if you were joking) but in my experiences I say "Thanks!" and just like walk away and encourage you to do that to if someone says that to you and you can. But like gymna5t said "It depends on the person." Because you wouldn't go up to a stranger and threaten them like that.

About the class question, personally I've never been told to just "go kill yourself" but I think it doesn't matter if you are because if someone tells you to go jump off a bridge then are you really going to do it? I think that no one should be hurt by being told this because there have been cases of people going into depression because of it. I just don't think it should matter to anyone, If your told to go kill yourself then you shoul have a strong mid and not do it.
