When Elliot writes about his experience with the Jock Rots and sends it out over the KidNet, he includes the following quote in his letter.
"I think people ought to realize that stuff like this goes on every day…The rest of you are all part of it-because you let it go on and maybe you think it's funny, or you think it only happens to geeky outsiders and kids who are smaller or fatter or skinnier or don't have so many friends or so much money as you. So tell me-what happens when you don't have so many friends one day, or you don't have so much money, or something bad happens to you?" (91-92)

I think the message that Elliot is trying to get across to his classmates is that everyone is part of the bullying situation whether they think so or not. Most of the people are bystanders and they are the ones that can really do something to stop all the bullying. Its because they can all do something except they don't. He is also saying that they might be bullied one day, and that they could have been in the situation that the victim's are in right now. I think he's right and that putting out the Bully Lab letter was a really good idea.

Role Reversal
Blog response instructions:

Blog Question: After the Bully Lab was renamed, the Revealers, and the stories of the three Darkland students were released and well received by the student body, Elliot wanted to publish Russell’s narrative about Richie punching Russell in the face.
1) Why was Russell so opposed to the idea (pg. 110)? Explain. (4 pts)
2) What is happening to the relationship between Russell and Richie. (3 pts)
3) Two Peer Comments (4 pts each)
1) Russell didn't want Elliot to publish his story about Richie because, when Burke and Blanchette started threatening him at the park (pg. 96-98) Richie Tucker came out and stood up for him and scared Burke and Blanchette away. If he did send it on the revealer than all of the students would know and I don't think that Russell wanted that to happen because then all the respect that he earned from Richie might disapear. Richie told Russell that it was okay to ask him questions if he wanted to. He also said if you stand up to people you can earn respect.
2) The relashonship between Russell and Richie is changing a lot. Now Richie has a little respect for Russel and doesn't treat him as bad. He stood up for him too. He also told him how everything works with him, (Richie talking) "You disrespect me, you pay. You piss me off, you get hurt. Okay?"(pg. 98).
