The Revealers

In the novel, The Revealers, the students of Parkland Middle felt connected through SchoolStream or as the students called it KidNet where they were able to chat or instant message. Most of you do this nightly through MSN Messenger. With KidNet and MSN nobody could break into or eavesdrop on your conversation without it being known. Not anymore. Today’s technology allows you to assume the identity of another person. Do you really know whom you are talking to in the cyber world?

It is 10:00 pm on a Wednesday night; you have finished your homework and you are chatting on MSN with three other friends. After 10 minutes two more friends ask to join the chat. By 10:30 pm five more people have joined and it is fun; however, there is a joke said about one of the people, rapidly followed by an insult. At first, no one knows how to respond, then seconds later a message pops up stating, “I didn’t say that! It isn’t me saying these things. Someone is using my name. What is going on here?”

\\\\\\\\What is the issue involved in this scenario? Why is this serious?

What would be a responsible way to handle this situation?

How could a situation like this be resolved? How would one of the three main characters from The Revealers deal with this situation?
Blog Answer:
Well the issue involved in this scenario is that someone on MSN that is using some other person's name to say bad comments and insults, and this is serious because it would give other people that were on the conversation a bad impression on the person and no one wants that.
Well an responsible way to handle the situation is that instead of being all open about it go to the people that were on the conversation and explain to them how is was not you.
This situation could be resolved by maybe doing an investigation like in the book The Revealers, and also the three main characters from the book would deal with the situation is by putting the story of the incident on KidNet

Blog Question: Is bullying a rite of passage of childhood and adolescence? Is it apart of the maturation process one needs to go through to reach adulthood? Explain. Mrs. Hogeboom brings up this topic on page 108.

Answer: Well no I do not think that bullying is the right passage of childhood and adolescence and is not a maturation process that one needs to go through to reach adulthood because like in the book The Revealers, Mrs. Hogeboom said exactly that:"But i think the establishment isn't so much people as it is people's assumptions.I mean, people assume these sorts of incidents are a fact of life at your age. We tend to say 'Oh well, kids will be kids'. It's almost like we assume that cruelty and violence are part of growing up. I wonder why we assume that?" I think it is this is completely true because why would we assume that? no person should go through bullying as a right passage of childhood and adolescence to become an adult because bullying can really change kids as they become adults.
