  21. Do The Write Thing…Ponder these questions: When you hear the word violence, what thoughts or memories do you have? What are some signs of bullying? Can bullying be a prelude to violence? Can anything be done to reduce bullying? Can bystanders be the key to controlling some types of bullying? How can bystanders safely intervene? Do you think the media promotes violence? How does the amount of violence portrayed in movies, music, books, television, newspapers, videogames, and Internet sites affect you? Are today’s young people being desensitized about violence due to the amount of violence they are exposed to on a daily basis? Do teen celebrity role models influence today’s youth to dress provocatively, diet to be thin, drink underage and make poor decisions? Are they sending the wrong message to their fans? Are reality shows teaching us that it is ok to be rude and uncaring to others?
