    "No one in this world should be bullied(欺凌)and brought down by people. And no one deserves to hold in all those situations that have happened to them. If you are being bullied, you are supposed to open up and talk about it. I know you may not feel comfortable to say it out, but if you don't, they may gradually get used to bullying you. Remember that you are not alone. Others who get bullied know how you feel. People who love you will listen to you and be there for you. Stand up against bullying today. "

    "No one deserves to be bullied. It is just not right and fair. I had a friend who was bullied and I came to help and stopped it. When you see someone being bullied, please tell an adult or try to stop it yourself. You might be worried about being bullied as well, but there is no reason to be, because you are not alone. My classmates and I have set up a club called 'No Bullying' and we will go out our way to help stop bullying at school. "

    "When I went into middle school, there was a boy whom everyone just 'decided' to pick on(欺负). He would always sit alone at lunch and never once had a friend. A few years later I remembered how many times this boy had tried to talk to me, but I never said a word. I was too scared to lose my friends. I was too selfish to help someone in need. It made me cry when thinking of how lonely he feels. Never again will I ever let anyone decide who is "worth" being happy and having friends. And I want others to learn from my mistake. When you see someone down on the ground，have the courage to be the hand that picks him up. "

    "If you've been a bully(欺凌弱小的人), you don't have to admit it, you just have to realize how you made them feel and change the way you behave. If you try to think about others, you will realize how much of a tough time they are going through. We are the future generation, and we are expected to make a change in the world. Take a stand and lend a hand, and someday we will make a difference in the world together. "

Information Card

    Johnny Smith was a high school student who was good at Maths. He loved his computer. He came home early every day, and then he worked with it till midnight. But Johnny was poor at English indeed. He usually got "F" in his English. One day after school, Johnny joined his computer to the computer in his school office. The school office computer had the grades of all the students; the Maths grades, the science grades, the grades in arts and music and the grades in English. He found his English grade was an "F" again! Johnny changed it from "F" to "A". The next day, Johnny's parents looked at his school report card. They were very happy. "An 'A' in English!" said his father. "You are a very clever boy, Johnny." However, they didn't even know that Johnny was a hacker.

    Hackers know how to take information from other computers and put in false information by using a mode. They join their computers to others' secretly. School headmasters and teachers are worried about hackers, so are the police, for some people even take money from bank computer accounts and put it into their own ones. And they never need to leave home to do it! They are called hackers.
