When Elliot writes about his experience with the Jock Rots and sends it out over the KidNet, he includes the following quote in his letter.
"I think people ought to realize that stuff like this goes on every day…The rest of you are all part of it-because you let it go on and maybe you think it's funny, or you think it only happens to geeky outsiders and kids who are smaller or fatter or skinnier or don't have so many friends or so much money as you. So tell me-what happens when you don't have so many friends one day, or you don't have so much money, or something bad happens to you?" (91-92)
Blog Question:
What is the message is he trying to get across to his classmates? (6pts)
Blog Answer: Well Elliot is trying to explain that they let this all go on and they could stop it if they wanted. Also he is explaining that he is ruining other peoples lives by letting this go on. He tells them on pages 91 through 93 about what the jock rots did to him and how he fought back and how they dropped him off a bridge onto his head. Also how they ran away after that.

Blog Question: After the Bully Lab was renamed, the Revealers, and the stories of the three Darkland students were released and well received by the student body, Elliot wanted to publish Russell’s narrative about Richie punching Russell in the face.
1) Why was Russell so opposed to the idea (pg. 110)? Explain. (4 pts)
2) What is happening to the relationship between Russell and Richie. (3 pts)
3) Two Peer Comments (4 pts each)
1) Answer: Well because earlier like the day before Richie helped Russell by scaring away the Jock Rots and told Russell that he would be watching and make sure everything is fair like if it is 2 on 1 then Richie would help to keep things fair. He also said that Russell could ask him questions but he expressed that Russell should ask the right questions.
2) Answer: Well in the beginning Russell was afraid of Richie because Richie was bullying him bad and slowly Richie started to stop bullying him and now they are becoming kind of like friends because the time when Richie scared off the Jock Rots he said that he didn't mind Russell asking him questions.
