Twisted Conflct

     In the book Twisted there is a lot of conflict. This conflict even almost caused suicide. The conflict that lead up to this was a lot of bullying and a lot of negative people in Tyler’s life. His whole life he has been bullied by this guy named Chip. At the vary beginning of the book Chip says to Tyler, “So nerd boy.” (Anderson 13). This is Chip greets Tyler. Its always in a very rude manor. He gets treated like this by a lot of people. The other person was his father. He basically told Tyler that he was useless.This quote is from a part in the story where Tyler's Dad would not let Tyler go to the homecoming football game. ".And Tyler? Mow that goddamn lawn." (Anderson 99). This is what happened almost every time Tyler or his sister Hannah wanted to do something.
     The second conflict that really grew from the first conflict was Tyler's intention to kill him self. Tyler did not feel wanted and it got to the point where it was just him and the gun and thankfully did not pull the trigger. "I had the gun in my mouth and my finger on the trigger." (Anderson 240). When Tyler's Dad, on of the people made Tyler think about this, asked what stopped him and Tyler said, "I looked in the mirror and realized that i was already dead. I let you kill me one piece at a time, start when i was, what? Eight years old? You killed your self then you came after us." (Anderson 241). This is what can happen to pretty much any one in a bad situation. It happened to Tyler and he chose to fight and confront his problems but unfortunately some people can't fight it and pull the trigger. 

Review of "Bullied"

Yesterday in class we watched the movie "Bullied". I really enjoyed the movie. I liked it because it was a true story and those people made history. They made it known to everyone that watched the film that bullying was wrong. Also they made it known to people that kids sometimes aren't the ones that have the problem. Like in the movie the boys were the ones that bullied him but none of the administrators did anything about the boys bullying him. He got bullied one time so bad that he had to have surgery to help his injuries. The worst part about that story is not one kid got punished.
I just read an article called "100 Days of School, 100 Days of Bullying". It was a very interesting article because it is a teacher writing about bullying that goes on at the school where he teaches. something that he said was very interesting. He said that studies show that kids who feel uncomfortable at school have trouble learning. So not only are these bullies ruining their self a steam but also their education. I think that is horrible because you go to school to learn not to get bullied.
