How can you prevent bullying? 1) The best thing you can do is go talk to your child's teachers. They know your child. They can help you identify why it started and what you can do to stop it.

2)Don't cheer on the bullier and if someone you know is being bullied, ether stand up for them, get an adult or really just become friends with the person being bullied.

Don't bully someone (call them names, make fun of them, physically hurt them, post mean things on the web about them, and don't start rumors about someone). If you are doing these things, you are a bully.

3) There are many ways to stop people from bullying you. Here are some ways to stop bullying from occurring: If you decide to ignore a bully, they will slowly begin to get bored about being mean to you because you don't show any emotions. Bully's love to see people cry so if you don't do that they will get annoyed and leave you be.  If you do decide to ignore them, you must remember never to talk to them, or show any emotions. You must walk away from them.  Sometimes, however, bully's that like violence may pick you up from the collar, throw a punch or kick just to may you listen to them.  Standing up to a bully has its advantages and disadvantages. // The advantage of standing up to a bully: // If you stand up to a bully, you must speak to them in a firm voice to let them know that you are not afraid of them and that you want them to leave you alone. They could leave you alone. // The disadvantage of standing up to a bully: // If you try to stand up to a bully, they may still remain teasing you. Some bullies that like to hurt people physically may throw a punch or kick you to watch you cry. If you want to stand up to a bully, you must remember not to whisper as this will make the bully think you a re scared of them. You must speak in a loud but firm voice to make them feel afraid of you too. You must NEVER start teasing them, throw a punch or a kick as the bullying will continue and they won't be the only ones in trouble. If you tell a teacher or a parent you can be assured that the bullying will be stopped. What you must remember thought is that you should NEVER talk to the bully's parents as parents only ever believe what their children tell them. Bully's will lie a lot to people and this will make people believe them. By telling a teacher, they will be able to talk to the bully and their parents. If nothing happens, the teacher can take the bully to the principal to ave them dealt with. If bullying still continues the principal will have the right to suspend them or expel them. By telling a parent, they will be able to get in contact with the school or with the bully's parents to make it stop. It would probably be better though if parents didn't get in contact with the bully's parents as a fight may start.
 * Ignore Them **
 * Stand Up to Them **
 * Tell a teacher or a parent **

What do you do if you are bullied? Answer1)There are things you can do to deflect people who bully:
 * Act more confident. If a person who bullies feels that they don't have any power over you, it takes the 'fun' out of it for them.
 * Hang around with friends or an adult at times when you're most in danger of being bullied.
 * Don't fight back. It can make the situation worse.
 * Tell someone you trust, a teacher or adult.

Answer2) Stand up for yourself. If the bully finds you not caring about it, then they will leave you alone.

Answer3)
 * 1) If you are unprepared, it is a MUST that you ignore the person. Otherwise, you make sure that you have a recorder and record the event (let the bully do the ranting and if you can, seek a friend that can help you set this up)
 * 2) File a report against the said person together with the recorded accounts that you made to the community head or to the school principal or to your superior or to the police and wait for the result (You need to be patient).

Also, if someone is bullied, extend your help by following the same step.

If bullying is done by a group, it is called mobbing. The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a "target".
 * Bullying ** is the use of force or coercion to abuse or intimidate others. The behavior can be habitual and involve an imbalance of social or physical power.

Bullies couldn't exist without victims, and they don't pick on just anyone; those singled out lack assertiveness and radiate fear long before they ever encounter a bully. No one likes a bully, but no one likes a victim either.

Unless you’ve directly experienced bullying, you may not realize just how devastating it can be, especially to a child or teenager. As well as being deeply hurtful, bullying can leave anyone feeling frightened, angry, depressed, and totally undermined. But bullying should never be tolerated.

Animations: What is an animation Animation is any thing that moves on your screen like a cartoon character. it is the visual art of creating the illusion of motion through the successive display of still images with slightly perceptable changes in positioning of images.

What different types of animation are there? The three general types of animation are:

1.) Cel Animation --> Drawings are made on transparent sheets (celluloid) which may then be laid on top of each other to combine characters and backgrounds

2.) Stop Motion Animation --> A model or puppet (shadow puppets were used in early stop motion) is shot a frame at a time, with tiny changes in position being made between each frame

3.) Computer Animation --> Computers can be used to entirely create the shapes and colours of animated action, working from a series of mathematical codes, or they can be used to enhance hand-drawn characters.

Reference: []

The most common method of presenting animation is as a motion picture or video program, although there are other methods. This type of presentation is usually accomplished with a camera and a projector or a computer viewing screen which can rapidly cycle through images in a sequence. Animation can be made with either hand rendered art, computer generated imagery, or three-dimensional objects, e.g., puppets or clay figures, or a combination of techniques. The position of each object in any particular image relates to the position of that object in the previous and following images so that the objects each appear to fluidly move independently of one another.

The Design Brief
An animation about stick man in our school environment making a good or bad decision.

The Design Specification
-Must follow the story board -Must have 6 scenes -Must be at least 150 frames long -Must have some writing -Must have different layers for scene, you will probably end up with over 10 layers -Must have motion tween -Must be simple and easy to follow -Must be neat

**How can animation be used to inform and educate others?** Educational animations are animations produced for the specific purpose of providing learning.Children can learn new things such as: -telling stories -Visual communication -Concentration -Problem solving -Creative and something new especially in the way that something is done Reference: [] []

= DESIGN =

Design 1


In design one i think that it reaches the design specification because it explains scene by scene in the image and it is clear and neat.This design is also simple and also very detailed.

What is happening in my storyboard? In my story board the stick man wants to ride the bicycle so the stick man steals the bicycle .The stick man then gets on the bicycle and begins to to ride it.After that the stick man is moving forward and suddenly there comes a car driving fast and hits the bicycle.

Design 2


In design two it meets the design specification because it is introducing what is happening.I have also explained what is happening in the scene.

What is happening in my storyboard? In this storyboard the stick man is running and falls in the swimming pool.Then the stick man climbs the stairs and reaches the pavement.

Design 3


In design three it meets the design specification because i like the way i have put it in different sections so that it is very organized.This design is very simple and attractive.This design is very detailed and has alot of information.

What is happening in my storyboard? In this storyboard the stick man is coming forward with the skateboard then suddenly it reaches a steep road and the stick man and the skate board fall and later on the stick man is getting hurt.
