With the continuing issue of bullying and cyberbullying resulting in depression and suicide, we felt it important to address the issue to our reactors. If you or anyone you know is a victim of bullying, talk to someone. -Travis and Connor Stoll

Bullying (Amanda Todd)
Simon: No way. Amanda.
Rachel: She's famous on the Internet.
Clary: She did not just flashed herself.
Leo: Bad move, girl. Bad move.
Percy: Why would the police come when it was freaking 4 in the morning and tell her that her nude pics were all over the Internet?
Nico: That's sick. Who the **** created this page?
Carter: Curse the Internet.
Frank: I want to cry right now.
Hazel: 16 against 1? How can they do that to a defenceless girl.
Jem: That is so un-gentleman of him. Letting his girlfriend and her 15 followers to beat a poor girl.
Reyna: Oh gods... (cover her mouth)
Sadie: These people are so unsympathetic and mean.
Annabeth: (shooks her head)
Piper: That is a great deal of cuts.
Clary: (tears in her eye)
Leo: #Stay strong.
Hazel: (crying)
Tessa: (crying) This video, it touches me.
Question Time
Stolls: Have you ever heard of Amanda Todd?
Percy: Yes.
Carter: She's all over the internet.
Reyna: She's a poor victim of bullying.
Stolls: Do you know what happened after she posted that video?
Simon: I heard that she committed suicide.
Nico: I've seen her in the Field of Asphodel.
Stolls: She killed herself in the end.
Hazel: （cries even more hysterical.）
Rachel: Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.
Stolls: What do you feel about this video?
Frank: (wipes a stray tear) It makes me want to cry.
Sadie: I've been thinking of things that I'd made that hurted people. And I'm truely sorry about it.
Piper: Only monsters will not feel sad for Amanda.
Stolls: What do you think the guy who blackmailed her?
Jem: He should put in prison for eternity. That's child pornography, it's illegal.
Leo: That guy's a jerk. He's the one who ruined her life.
Annabeth: Amanda was stupid to 'flash' her nudity pictures. She didn't know the danger of social networks. That man, the pedophile, used her to provide him pleasure.
Stolls: How do you feel about people who still tormenting her even she passed away?
Reyna: Why they can't just leave her alone?
Clary: Amanda left this world, but these heartless people laugh at her like some entertainment.
Rachel: Although big things happened, yet bullying still continues.
Stolls: Although Amanda transferred schools but bullying still follow her. Do you think this is fair?
Sadie: That's the power of social network. Bad news spread quicker than you can imagine.
Frank: The popular clique wants weakness from the students with lower status. They would do anything to find it.
Nico: That how it goes, victims like Amanda are easy target. They never stop until you gave up, in other words commit suicide.
Stolls: People think she deserves this because of the consequences that she'd made. Do you agree?
Carter: That's not fair! Amanda just make several minor mistakes. They have no right to critic her afterlife.
Simon: Amanda shouldn't choose to kill herself. She could have a better life than these bullies.
Annabeth: Amanda gave up her life because of bullying. This is a warning but no one cares.
Stolls: Do you have any personal experience of bullying?
Percy: I have several bullies when I was in elementary and middle schools. I can name all of them: Nancy Bobofit, Matt Sloan, Clarisse La Rue- I count her because she tried to dunk me in a toilet bowl.
Piper: The girls from the Westover High treated me like ****. Drew called me 'Dumpster Girl' like she's high and mighty.
Frank: Racist comments from mortals. And they teased my body size.
Hazel: 'Witch Girl', 'Cursed Daughter of Queen Marie' from those children back in the 30s.
Tessa: I don't have any experience of bullying, but my son Jamie was teased by other Shadowhunters because of his lineage. They called him names and treated him like he's not a true Nephilim. We had no choice but to take him back from the academy.
Stolls: What do you do to stop all these tortures?
Percy: Usually when I got mad, I would unleash my anger onto those bullies which result on expelling. After I enrolled in Goode High, the bullies stop.
Piper: I would shrugg them off, but I didn't tell them about my dad except for Drew.
Hazel: Sammy is the one who helped me deal with those mean people. I still don't have the chance to thank him properly.
Stolls: Why teens choose suicide to solve their problem?
Clary: They believe suicide is the way to leave all the pain behind.
Sadie: Suicide is really an act of cowardice.
Leo: Killing yourself doesn't mean everything will be fine. Look at Amanda, people still judge her even though she's dead.
Stolls: What do you want to say to those bullies out there?
Nico: Go **** yourself.
Simon: Bullying others makes you a total asshole.
Reyna: This is the 21 century, not the barbaric era. Stop doing uncivil actions!
Stolls: What do you want to say to those victims and those kids who want to commit suicide?
Annabeth: Don't do stupid things, think for your future and those who really care for you.
Percy: Choosing to suicide can't make bullying stop. It's alright to tell someone you trust. Maybe he or she could help you with that.
Jem: Death cannot help you escape the problem. Only you stay strong and keep fighting will set you free.
Sadie: Thank you, for supporting this show.

Rachel: See you next time.
Hazel: Remember, stop bullying.
